If I want little distraction it’d either be no music, or music I never have or rarely listen to.

Does this guy have a pro-Confederate ancestor?

1. We should cut funding to Israel.
2. We should not tariff Chinese EVs.
3. Marijuana should be legalized.
4. The war in Iraq was wrong (either of them).
5. A woman has a right to bodily autonomy.

I suppose it depends what they play.

It might be interesting how some in the list might deal with police. 😁🙂

in preference to those listed?

I tend towards green.

We might need professional thinkers to give comments.

FWIW, I use neither the word “versus” or “and” in the question. 😁🙂

(but I should touch up the body and add some commas)

so noted. Thanks. 🙂

The state and congressional districts seem somewhat blue, FWIW.

I’ve been tempted to join that site, but it seems to have too many rules.

True, but IIUC, the energy/mass of carbon might be better than diesel.

“The king is not England, and England is not the king!”

The PRC is not China, and China is not the PRC!

You make decent points.

However, it seems that in some ways neither society takes rape seriously.

In the case of many Western justice systems, such as Germany, the rapists aren’t seriously dealt with—the word “coddle” comes to mind, and we dare not mention that Islamic culture seems to tolerate rape even more.

So how do we deal with rapists?

Longer sentences? Too costly and many have criticized imprisonment.

Castration? It seems to tame other male mammals and ensures that the rapes won’t result in pregnancies, but many think it’s barbaric.

Social engineering—as all, or almost all, men are to varying degrees potential rapists, all need to be treated—which at the very least would mean more annoying PSAs that millions of non-violent men must suffer.

an additional court system for rape, where the burden of proof is lighter, but so are the punishments?

Idk.

But it seems that many men, who found refuge in a country that millions of Afghanis would probably love to go to but won’t be allowed in, who squandered the goodwill with violations of those among its more vulnerable natives and citizens, are being sent away; and I don’t think they will have that easy a time in Afghanistan. Perhaps they will be regarded as fools, as un-Islamic for leaving, easily identified if they come from some small village.

but if they stay in Germany, there might be one of 2 results:

the process reformed them, and they won’t violate again—possible but I wouldn’t count on it.

they are not reformed, and will violate again.

​

Also keep in mind that this isn’t really “exporting toxic waste”, but rather sending it back to where it originated, and if we are concerned with rape victims, maybe Germany could take an additional 5x that number of female refugees from Afghanistan, including their daughters and sons under 6 (the older ones possibly been too corrupted by Islamic Afghani culture).

A deported rapist isn’t going to rape any of the natives and citizens anymore.

As for the women of Afghanistan, at least the Taliban will protect their dignity and Allāh will not forget them. /s

True, and I don’t know how to get their names and stories, if we could.

Even knowing I’m boned when this house of cards finally tumbles.

You probably have time to prepare. 🙂
