Protect yourself, only requires the consensus of one....So not a consensus really.
try and find an example of a society where the majority agrees that people don't have the right to protect themselves
Protect your family, depends upon the integrity of the family.
each individual defines their "family" differently, it's not necessarily "blood"
corporations and military organizations often co-opt the idea of "family" like the mafia
Protect your property.....In the face of extreme adversity, you either fight or flea.
property is third on the list
the first two take priority

Fair point, but it's mutual. So you can coerce another country and they can coerce you. We also get cheaper goods.

Why not just process it upon request and immediately copy and paste the text and email it out. Why would that take more than 30 seconds to send out a PDF?

All I can say is copyright and intellectual property laws make stealing art that has been registered a crime. I really don't give a shit about nonsensical blather arguments that wont hold up in a court of law. Steal at your own risk and don't cry if you get caught.

writes, what ever, "he" is against sex. So how come he was engaged with a female for ever ..? Because only some spirits within wrote that about freedom, the others engaged sex or enforced it and misused that inspiration. And instead of bragging - which you endorse you know shame on you bad boy - concerned kindreds should have used conscient inspiratio

I believe everything is true and i can fully make sense of that. Think marvel universe (one part of my religious text)... i can make it all make sense, but why are we so unwilling to compromise for this belief... imho, the tru spiritual belief. To set aside what i want everyone else should be... is so easy for me. I enjoy what you are, without it effecting who i am.
i was about to respond to this with a definition of truth

yes, your eye is not your noseThe distinctions of which are determined by their primary functions, not their connection, correct? And those functions are independent of the other, yes? Though, I suppose one could argue olfaction can modulate visual perception.

Here's my rough draft for how to get the middle east to outlaw marital rape:If the countries where marital rape was banned only buy their oil from other countries where marital rape is banned (like Canada , the US, Australlia, Latin America) (since the middle east needs western money) and if companies are banned from buying oil from countries where marital rape is legal (kindof like what's happening with Russia right now, but this would happen after the Russia Ukraine war), this would lead to the countries banning marital rape to get that oil money. Middle eastern countries want western money and I think they are willing to prosecute marital rape the same way as rape to get the money from oil buisiness.Thoughts?

I can only imagine how many subjectivists demanded other people wear masks. Ya, fuck you and your masks. Who in the fuck are you to tell anyone anything? Who gives a shit weather you live or die? Objectively speaking, you are just one less mouth to feed if you do die. Who cares why you die?
obviously you care about your own "in-group" and you don't care about your "out-group"
just like every animal and every human who has ever lived

Which brings me to the question of why are there laws and punishment?
for the exact same reason that chimpanzees attack a troop member who gives a false warning
humans can only survive as a member of a group
and acting against the trust of the group results in various degrees of exclusion

History shows that civilizations can never last when everyone is allowed to believe what ever they do is not wrong or right but only subjective.

Those who would punish you for murder couldn't even tell you why its wrong. Most people don't murder because of fear of punishment, not because they think its wrong. Murder can never be wrong in a civilization that adopts subjectivity as its primary philosophy to everything. Nothing anyone does is ever wrong. It kinds makes me laugh when people who subscribe to the subjective philosophy get upset if some one robs them, rapes them or kills one of their friends or family members. No one can do no wrong, what the fuck are you crying about?
what's even more hilarious is someone who thinks their own private ethics are the only "true" code of ethics
do you perhaps believe adulterers should be stoned to death ?

Imagine if, hypothetically, the only evidence for the Loch Ness monster was that a few people in a very specific situation saw it despite the fact that many others in that same situation didn't. If that was the case everyone would think Nessie was just a big joke.
great example
people forget about epistemology
when people say,
"you can't prove me wrong"
they are indulging private gnosis
conflating opinion with "fact"
unfalsifiable claims are neither "true" (or) "false"
they have (no) "truth value"
a dream cannot be proven "wrong"
a personal feeling cannot be proven "wrong"
a FACT, on the other hand
CAN be verified
