In his pamphlet Common Sense (1776), American philosopher Thomas Paine compared the government to a “necessary evil.” Law enforcers, Judiciary, and the constitution are meant to protect individuals' right, property, and liberty but in some instances, the same institutions might be used to against the individual.

Antifa has been known in europe for a long time and now they have become more known in USA because of the 2016 election. Donald Trump has recently said that he thinks it is a terrororganisation. My opinion has always been the same. If someone disagrees do what Antifa can't and let's debate.

The Nordic model makes selling sex legal and buying it illegal, this is a relatively new approach addressing problems within prostitution trying to merge the benefits of partial decriminalization and efficient crime-fighting.

Wylted needs to be put in place. I give him an argument. He hears what he hears then runs with it (see discord). The least I can do is show people the very same thing because I don't think someone who goes out of their way to misrepresent me clearly is open minded to actually look at what they say and realize. It does not debunk my argument.

Islam does not protect free speech and expression. It hunts and kills down those it disagrees with and is not compatible with the ideals of a free and democratic country.
