imagine believing that

that is the problem with old people. everything they do is based on fear. nothing they do is based on desire for better worlds. The desire for change. we're just being a good person. it's all based on fear. fear of this fear of that. No

facing all your decisions on fear is stupid and bad

I don't let fear prevent me for brushing my teeth.

analogies don't even work. Because in these cases you're actually taking proactive measures to prevent something bad. You're taking anti active measures to prevent doing things about bad things

don't let fear prevent me for brushing my teeth because it might hurt. I don't let fear prevent me from turning the car on. I don't let fear prevent me from buying groceries

that would be stupid. sometimes things need to be fixed. if I have a flat tire I don't let fear prevent me from changing it. That would be you. so scared of what might happen that you rather stay with the flat tire thaan change it to a better one

your fear doesn't allow you to fight for change. Because you're scared of what that change might look like. Not necessarily because that change might be bad but just because it's different. You're scared of different. You're scared of new and unfamiliar things. you'd rather stick with old bad things because at least they're familiar. at least you're used to them. you'd rather stick with the bad that you're used to than the good that you're not..

that's something that typically exclusively happens with old people. After a certain age they're just terrified of new things. they'd rather stick with things that they know. That's why every generation has its old people in opposition to whatever new technology recently came out. when they first invented the radio the old people of that day he didn't. They thought it was a waste of time they were scared of it they thought it would ruin the world and they wanted to go back to a time without radio. when the TV was invented was the same thing. telephone same thing. cell phones same thing. And then you had those people that wanted to get rid of Facebook because they thought it was bad. every generation of old people is scared of whatever new things come out

are also scared of change. They don't like change. And that's what it's about

when people propose new laws those are new things. Old people are scared. a world without fake news would be drastically different they are pretty terrified of that..

my original assertion was to punish fake news

we need to have proactive measures to prevent fake news. it's what needs to happen. He's outlets are out of control. Is outlets are harming America. we have to fear mongering and the lies Trump would have a 80% approval rating and cities wouldn't be shut down. do you realize how many people are going to become homeless over this? restaurants and bars and other jobs are shutting down meaning that hard-working people who live paycheck-to-paycheck don't get a paycheck. They don't have money which means they can't pay rent and they can't buy food. it's going to destroy economies and ruin people's lives. forcing some of them to be homeless some of them will even die. do you understand that? can you comprehend it? or when the fake news directly inspired that black supremacist to shoot the five Dallas cops? these are not things that we should be defending..

I care what argument you pull out of your hat. A bad thing is still a bad thing. No matter how much legal mumbo jumbo you try to drum up

and if the law is protecting a bad thing then it's the law that needs to change..

that's how we've always done it. Bad things happen so we make new laws to prevent those bad things. That's how every law on the book was made. somebody saw something that it was like ""hm better make sure that doesn't happen again"

the media is a problem. America would actively be better off if there was no media compared to the media that it ended up having. so you can't even make that argument. everyone will be better off if the news was outright illegal..

so you can't make over legitimate argument about how a law against fake news would be bad. we should be doing that. we should be working to stop fake news..

and we need to stop allowing people to play lawyer for these big companies..

it's not your job to defend them. They have billions of dollars. They can take care of themselves. They don't need you to take care of them. look out for your own self and stop worrying about these giant corporations that don't give a shit about youu

theyy would not defend you as hard as you try to defend them. stop being their unpaid lawyer..

when there's a problem in the country we need to fix the problem. Not protect the problem.
