The UK's Online Safety Bill isn't about child protection - existing firewalls already exist to safeguard kids. This law enables unprecedented government surveillance and censorship, threatening free speech.
It's curious that nowadays, people marry legal but not spiritually. Surely, the spiritual connection and dedication to one another is the important part.
@RhonddaBryant With that logic, you must also believe 14 and 15 year olds should be able to vote too. In fact, your logic extends all the way down to newborn babies! They are part of our present as well as our future too! Lol! Hopefully, you know how ridiculous your argument is now. π
@PlebyPleb@BladeoftheS I will not benefit from the regulation you are advocating. Such regulations stifle innovation, preventing us from progressing as a species. The world is the great place it is today because the creative minds of our ancestors were allowed to flourish.
Have a nice weekend π
Sure, you can keep going around dictating to people what they should and shouldn't do. You obviously know what is best for them...
I will spend my time helping the vulnerable people be better versions of themselves because I believe everyone has the ability to achieve. It also gives them a far more dignified existence than trying to wrap them up in "safety" blankets.
@Ericrse37986@BladeoftheS Like I said before, it's whether a company is private or public that is the question. There are examples of both working well and poorly.
It's whether the public or private enterprise needs to be efficient.
You are right. Scamming someone is illegal for both individuals and companies. So it should be!
If you feel you are being exploited when you buy your iPhone, then I suggest you not buy it, lol.
People have the free will to review and comment on the business practices of a company, and consumers have the free will to decide what they buy based on these reviews.
Open discord will always be the optimal method to remove corruption and malice from the system.
@DomBarringer@BladeoftheS Exactly! It's not about being public or Privatised, that's the wrong debate. It's about efficiency. Like you say, do they have efficiency driving competition or are they a monopoly?
@tesd84@BladeoftheS Aston Martins, Rolls Royces, JCBs, Harris Tweed, Whiskey, Salmon, Denby Pottery, the list goes on... all examples of excellent British design and craftsmanship π¬π§
@DieDagbreker@arty_burton@BladeoftheS Sounds like most countries, to be honest. Overegulating in order to stay relevant. When you hear the words, "we are regulating to protect you," then you know to run the other way as quickly as possible, lol
Doesn't this just show that Americans make poor choices when it comes to their health?
What are you proposing? That we should mandate everyone to run 1 hour a hour, eat only meat, fruit, and vegetables, and work out 30 minutes a day. That would send this graph flying upwards after 20 years :-)
It's not the government's responsibility to make you healthy!
