@UziCryptoo Sounds great. What makes it possible, besides tough immigration laws, for Denmark to afford all this? Hint: USA military power. Not that I like that much, but it's a fact.
@ericstait@_6signxxx I see. Which "reparations" exactly di d Japanese receive? I know Bill Clinton issued an official apology for the WWII internment of Japanese-Americans. Is that going to resolve all issues then?
@TrevMcKendrick Two things can be true. That deliberate killing of an unborn child, euphemised as "termination", is indeed eugenics of the first water, and that parents make choices. The issue should be how society creates "disability" that way.
@sugabelly Yes, it's precisely eugenics if you consciously choose to terminate those deemed unfit. Trisomy 21 is not a health issue like illness from microbes or wer market bats or lab leaks or the plague...
@marceelias What if a state gerrymandered districts that intentionally discriminated against Republicans? Or Democrats? Or intentionally discriminated against, say, Asian-Americans?
@Blacksword011 What would you prefer: an all black jury? You seem to be focused on skin color. That's one of continuing problems of our time, but why make it worse? Well... unless it's deliberate or unconscious race baiting?
@GavinNewsom That's not what the ruling said. But remember the shoe may be on the other foot one day and you're creating profound mistrust in the law, based on race.
@ericstait@_6signxxx Those injustices are shared by many others in the world. When do my white enslaved ancestors get paid and by whom. Exactly. Otherwise, you're risking reenactment of injustice to everyone except you. It's a very difficult question.
