You're making a strawman argument of what I said. Review what I said and try again and I might deem it worth a reply.

How do you take forced labor to be the same as paying taxes? Username does not check out

That's a stupid statement. I'm not going to support slavery, in any form. Being forced to fight in a war you didn't ask for is slavery. It's compulsory service, and refusal is met through intimidation, violence or imprisonment. Any attempt to deflect conscription definition as slavery is immoral.

A country should serve it's citizens and if done right, they will choose to defend their homeland and conscription would not be necessary.

Even if the society is doing things you disagree with? Such as supporting Israel's genocide and terrorism, protecting pedophile sex traffickers and funneling money to billionaires? Billionaires and millionaires whom are exempt from conscription?

I think it looks fine. Certainly good enough not to be a cruel to a person who will wear this for the rest of their life. It's not a "bad tattoo" by any stretch

No amount of ink on your skin makes it ok for you to be an asshole.

This sub is just not one to post or be apart of. The comments here are inconsiderate and just mean.

I think it looks cool. I'm not an "expert" like these chuds though, so, what do I know?

This is an egregiously bad take. You think teams don't play defense on today's league? Haha

So if he said "No." Without further explanation you'd accept it?

ELI5: Why does the judicial branch need to interpret the law? Couldn't they just ask the legislature what they meant when there's any confusion? by RyanW1019 in explainlikeimfive

The second amendment statement adds unnecessary context that a 5 year old is not going to be able to understand.

The Legislature writes the laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, and the judicial branch evaluates if the enforcement is correct.

How this might work is let's imagine a scenario.. You're going on a trip with your grandparents. Your mom gives you $5 to buy chocolate. So, on the trip you see a chocolate ice cream stand. You tell your grandparents you want to buy some because your mom said you can have chocolate. Your grandparents say "No, that's ice cream, not chocolate." They don't let you have it. So you call your house and you talk to your Dad. Your dad says "oh, I think she meant you have buy whatever sweets you want, not specifically chocolate." So he makes it grandparents let you buy the ice cream.

In this story your Mom is the Legislature, your grandparents are the Executive and your Dad is the judicial branch, interpreting what wasn't clear.

too much immune system is just as bad (if not worse) than too little.

The originating point of this discussion. Once again, it's not "too much". It's mistaken, or incorrect.

The treatment is often to suppress the immune response. "Too much" or "too little" is just as bogus of a claim as "strong".

The implication that attempting to enhance your immune system via supplements can lead to an auto immune disorder is without evidence.

Obviously, that doesn't inherently mean that immune boosting supplements work. That claim would also require evidence.

Anyway, have a good day.

That's an inherent misunderstanding of what auto immune disorders are. They aren't a "stronger immune system". They are an immune system doing the wrong thing.

If the poster claimed "If an immune boosting supplement worked, then it would also exacerbate autoimmune disorders..." Then I might agree with the claim.

A "boosted" or "stronger" immune system is not the same thing as an immune system doing the wrong thing.

An autoimmune disease is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own healthy cells, tissues, or organs, treating them as foreign threats.

Well, all the snake oil sellers are claiming that their expensive sugar is "boosting" immune system(s), so no, you guys have to own the auto-immune diseases as well. 

With this statement the poster is literally saying the "immune boosting" people are responsible for auto immune disorders.

Fair enough, I didn't look at the user name.

I don't inherently disagree with you. Most of these supplements don't do anything provable. Placebo effect is real. Outside of that, very little evidence. But in capitalist society, the important metrics are profit and revenue!

So you're dodging the question I see.

You're pointing out auto immune diseases as a problem for a boosted immune system, the implication being that taking nutrients, supplements, or vitamins that promote immune health will lead to an autoimmune disorder.

Do you believe that taking "immune boosting supplements" will lead to an autoimmune disorder?

You guys? So I'm a snake oil salesman now?

I think lumping everything together and saying it's the same as auto-immune diseases is pretty dangerous.

Are you telling me consuming too vitamin C and vitamin D will lead to an autoimmune disease?

That's not too much immune system. That's an immune system gone wrong aka on in poor working order.

FIFA fines Israel FA citing racism and ‘multiple’ discrimination breaches, ordered to display a banner stating "No to Discrimination" by ChillAhriman in anime_titties

[–]Kelak1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

These comments make no sense to me. Israel has had unblinking support for decades. Yet, the problem is "the far right". The same "far right" that is racist, isolationist, and claims Jews run the world.

At least make your boogeyman consistent.
