I’ve had so many people use the third law there in shitty arguments and acting like it’s an irrefutable scientific fact it’s soured that quote for me.

Can we get a ruling on words that are ambiguously swear words like “piss”?

Thank you.

Fuck.

Unless you’re saying the state gives the victims cool animal grafts

No shit it’s us centric answers op asked what the plan was for the “leaders” in the us

So you admit that those cultural aspects are actually there. Which are failed when they are used to support the ruling class.

Which was my point.

I’m talking about the shared cultural values of the society we have today, views shared by most Americans. Most Americans like free speech. Most Americans like liberty. Et cetera and so on. These are things that are part of our culture. You aren’t any less of a person for recognizing that these are values that are held by this culture.

I am also saying that despite culturally sharing in these values, our society also fails to actually support them in very big ways.

Nah man, Americans have values. Freedom, perseverance, independence, self expression. It’s just that we have utterly failed to uphold those values in our actions. Even in the beginning, talking about slavery being terrible but still allowing it for political reasons right at the founding.

Nah, I liked how I phrased it. We’ve been failing to uphold our ideals since the beginning, even Thomas Jefferson was a hypocrite who hated slavery but sure as hell did a lot of it.

I feel like it’s unamerican in regards to the values our country espouses, even though it completely and utterly fails to uphold them.
