One one space permitted. Nah, I’m not an actual slave to the dictates of grammar Nazis. That’s why such books are called guides.

That takes me back. That was the standard reference for my journalism degree 35 years ago. I still have it.

So if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?

I did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.

I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.

So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.

Sorry, still don’t argue with strangers on the internet by personal attacks. I grew out of that a long time ago. But you do you.

Bye.

I thought so too at first, but he kept on repeating the typo, so I’m not sure?

Sorry, you crossed the line when you made a ad hominem attack.

I don’t get personal in debates, I let the point of view do the heavy lifting.

See ya.

I’m not sure if you are trolling or not, because any plain English reading is obvious

Your own quote, as set out below…

“the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas”

That also applies to incorrect information ideas… or… lies. Or the truth… Or fantasy… Or anything in between…

It doesn’t specify truth or otherwise. You are free to assume anything you care to - but it’s not in the actual text.

As to your question, I have no clue about your insistence on me being whatever the thing is you keep repeating.

sigh

Again it is.

Neither of those links suggested that it was illegal to lie. Why not? Because it is fucking impossible to tie that rule into a working possibility. Go read your own links yourself, because it is obvious that you haven’t.

It talks about limitations on hate speech, etc, but you can lie without hate speech.

Freedom of speech is an ideal, and is tied to state control of speech. There are all kinds of limitations, including public safety and defamation, etc. But if I called you a Martian, obviously that is a lie. What happens? Does the free speech police lock me up?

I’m not interested in personal attacks, by the way.

Again, it is.

Show me the legalisation where it is illegal to lie. How is it enforced? Who enforces it? Who arbatrates it?

Freedom of speech is a moral right, and nothing more. If you start arresting people on perceived lies, that is a very dangerous slippery slope. I hope that the Donald doesn’t start arresting people who he believes is lying. Where will THAT stop?

And, no, I’m not Asian, tho I don’t understand your asking.

Damn, now you got me defending fucking Musk on this issue.

Freedom of speech is also the freedom to lie. However, that just means the state can’t arrest you for your speech. Nobody owes you a platform for your free speech.

That said, Elon Musk is a turd sandwich.

Nice try, Zuckerberg…

TIL that Twitter is still around in some form. Why do people bother?

The trouble with this graphic is that millennials are part of the problem now. The oldest are over forty. We’ve all seen the footage of Jan 6th. There were very few boomers in their 60 and 70s.

You buy a pair of shoes, the maker is paid. Why do you have to pay the bastard every month?

Actually, nobody goes to heaven when they die (according to the bible). Everyone must wait until judgement day when all the graves, etc, open and we all face judgement at that point. This surprised me when I first learned it because it goes against all the Christian culture I’ve ever been taught and experienced.

So grandma isn’t currently in heaven no matter how good she was.

If you have a point to make, it’s alluded me.

Why do we have to sign up to every fucking thing and it’s brother? Everything gets hacked eventually. Why don’t we just hand over our data to the hackers and cut out the middle man?

The US is still blowing up Japan? Talk about nursing a grudge.

I disagree. Voting with your wallet is the only metric they understand. They just ascribe different analysis as to why it failed to their boardrooms. In the end, you put 70 million into the development and marketing of a game that doesn’t sell, that is going to get attention. Complaining on Reddit won’t.
