There is no morality in a fight, given that diplomacy has failed,
the victor is one that employs strength through humility and
superior skill.

Lawyers are seldom employed, but if they are, see above.

Some could say... online video games played a pretty big role in where we are now. Did you get that new PS5 yet?

Everybody’s a “victim” and “fighting back”.

Pretty balanced.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez streamed 'Among Us' on Twitch and raised $200,000 for food pantries and other groups

Just hours after posting a link to her Twitch livestream, Ocasio-Cortez announced she had raised $200,000 to go toward food pantry assistance, eviction defense legal funds, and community organizations.

This is really a false statement because it denies a third element which is deviation from the normative behavioral framework which in this case is to escalate conflict.

It is this very normative that is exploited for the purpose of social engineering and population control.

Very easy to get the public to exhaust their energies grinding out opposition to each other while the true culprits benefit without harm.

See the one thing they never tell you about sheep, wolves and such is they are pawns in the animal kingdom and analogies for really base and primitive behavioral mechanisms.

The real problem here is most people are simply out of touch and absolutely terrified of really understanding their own subconscious behavioral nature which is what makes them perfect candidates for control.

In a world where everything comes at a price who is going to have the compassion and integrity to point this shit out? All it will do is cause resentment even though the purpose is true, intention pure and necessity absolute.

Problem is people like being slaves to themselves and it is those same people who act with complete lack of compassion when others suffer the same which is pretty much the underlying vibe of the Speaker's coroner.

Denial doesn't paint reality for anyone but the person denying it.

The first seeds I bought was ak47 because of the name. Toxic brew would be a hit for me.

It's a pretty good bar. Their beer is usually a bit too creative for my taste.

They're located right in the middle of Dayton's historical Oregon District, which is a pretty lively nightlife scene rich in character.

If you check it out, be sure to drop by the Dublin Pub as well. Their Patty's Day bash is second to none.

Dayton can party almost as well as Athens.

trump has the answer!

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9008639/Trump-threatens-veto-dangerous-unfair-Section-230-not-terminated.html

Trump threatens to veto defense bill unless it ends the 'very dangerous and unfair Section 230' that protects internet companies from being held liable for material posted by their users

Trump has once again demanded the repeal of Section 230, which shields internet companies from liability for content posted by its users

President took to Twitter on Tuesday threatening to veto the defense policy bill unless it ends protections for internet companies

He called Section 230 'unfair' and very dangerous' to US national security

Trump has for months been waging war against social media companies
He has claimed companies like Twitter are biased against conservative voices

Let's walk this dog.

What are companies designed/supposed to do? Make money. Social media sites are no different.

You want to know what a costs a public company a lot of money and makes their shareholders unhappy? Lawsuits that cost them money even if they win. They still need to pay court costs and lawyers fees unless the plaintiff is forced to compensate.

So if a company is going to be held liable for content posted by it's users, and that liability means they will be sued in court which costs them money, (Which in turn makes their shareholders unhappy they're not making money but are actually losing money due to the litigation} do you think the company is more or less likely to moderate what is on their platform?

ETA - How long do you think Gypsy would keep IC Mag open if he were suddenly slapped with 15 different lawsuits from users who didn't like what someone on here said? Do you think he'd waste any money at all fighting these lawsuits or would he simply say, "screw you guys." and shut it down?

somehow, I don't think ICMag is that type of 'company' you're talking about! :shucks:

Speaker's Corner is like a Room in a Bar.

in this room the conversation is partly about world affairs.

There is no Dart Board.

Entry into the room is 100% Voluntary.

if there was a room like that in a real bar, would you complain to the bartender ?

I'll have what he's having.

Maybe Toker's Den needs a virtual Dart Board video game.

virtual Dart Board video game - Google Search

And some virtual Foosball tables, Virtual Pool (billiards + the water kind), and virtual Air Hockey.
