Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Freedom!

 


Question: Can a free country have too many freedoms?

If no, why not?  Explain.

If yes, where do you see that "imposing on a freedom" line drawn?  Please give details.

     Some ideas to think about:

-Whenever a freedom breaks the law

-Whenever a freedom turns violent

-Whenever a freedom creates public panic and/or disruption

-Whenever a freedom harms another (physically rather than emotionally)

-Whenever a freedom harms another (physically and/or emotionally)

-Whenever a freedom exacerbates an already problem situation (e.g., not getting vaccinated or wearing an uncomfortable mask)

-Whenever a freedom of the one outweighs the freedom of the many

-Whenever a freedom to not bake a gay cake or preform a gay wedding is imposed

-Whenever a freedom to keep and bear arms is threatened

-Whenever a fetus is threatened

-Whenever a lie or falsehood is perpetuated

-Whenever a religion is threatened 

-Whenever etc.

Thanks for posting and recommending.
