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.

Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade

The Supreme Court has just published its decision to strike down the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. NBC News writes:
The Supreme Court on Friday overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed a constitutional right to an abortion in a 6-3 vote, a momentous break from a half century of rulings on one of the nation’s most controversial issues. About half the states have already indicated they would move to ban the procedure.

The neo-fascist Republican plan to make America Christian Sharia again is well underway. Red states are going to get rid of abortion, make it a felony and then pass laws to get rid of birth control. Christian nationalists are rejoicing. The rest of us mourn the needless, unjustifiable loss of an important civil liberty.


You're screwed
