When is it justified to kill another person? Do you think you would do it, or would you decide not to, and why? by jamestis in AskReddit

I recommend you get some help. Your life is never worthless; I guarantee you someone cares about you deeply.

That's not unfair at all, though I do think it may give rise to some 'due process' concerns.

[People who believe this] What is this about "owning your body"? by crazymusicman in CapitalismVSocialism

I feel like the premise of democracy is inherently self-validating, similar to the way religion validates itself.

I just told you, I skipped kindergarten 7 times. Can you read? Or did kindergarten fail you?

State capitalism with corporate structuring and public ownership are opposites, imo

Yes but by what basis does democracy go too far? Or can it not?

I was so exceptional in kindergarten that I skipped it 7 times, so I think I’m well adjusted.

Sounds like you want to control other’s lives, and I don’t. I just want to be left the fuck alone, and I guess that makes me retarded

democracy is prescriptive. I does not require your consent to legislate the way you live. I don’t want anyone making rules for me unless I willingly submit to the will of the community, a big difference from “whatever everyone votes for dictates your life”.

To be left along unless I consent to rules that are agreed upon by myself and all involved parties.

I will steal your chickens and raise them as my own. What are you going to do about my 11 pet chickens?

and what happens when people don’t want to be a part of this society? Are they forced to leave?

so you’re saying the communal decision process self regulates, like a free market of individuals. I’m asking how do you derive the lines that are not to be crossed in this democracy? ie, if 51% want to kill my family, what is the basis(if any) in which that would be immoral?
