Whichever side produces the most coercion will win. The problem is, you have no idea what the other side is using to coerce them.
Do you think it's morally sound to oppose restrictions such as these enacted and enforced by local legislators and bureaucrats?
Originally posted by whodeySeriously Whodey are you a little bit concerned that you might have slipped into a clinical depression since the election, your post's are no less monochrome than before but they have lost that 'Devil may care' attitude.

I am actually not taking the piss.

Looking at the world the way it is, it would not be a hard thing to do. The key in overcoming it is realizing that a far greater power is in the world than the dark forces that seem to control it. Their is always a Churchill or Ghandi to remind us as much.

Originally posted by whodeyDo you know what "clinical depression" is, whodey? It's inside a person's head and affects his perceptions and behaviour. "Clinical depression" is not found or caused by "looking at the world the way it is".
Clinical depression? LOL.

See that's it, That droll humour that put's Churchill and Gahndi on the side of the same Angels, old school whodeyesque. The trick is to be aloof but not isolated.
Originally posted by FMFSure it troubles me when people are herded like cattle, but that is the human condition. Mankind has traditionally been a slave to the whims of other men. If making this observation clinically depressed then I need some prozac I suppose.
Do you care about what the victims of these backward bye laws think?
You seem determined to talk mostly about yourself, and your own sterile nihilism and dearth of ideas, and little else.
Originally posted by whodeyIf there was a bye law in Lhokseumawe forbidding women in the town to walk around topless (like women in Bali used to), would you support it or oppose it?
Sure it troubles me when people are herded like cattle, but that is the human condition. Mankind has traditionally been a slave to the whims of other men.
Originally posted by FMFThe local officials obviously have balls so blue they're practically indigo, and desperately need to get laid.
So if you were an activist in Lhokseumawe who disagreed with this bye law, what would you do? This story is essentially to do with a federal government having given power to local areas at provincial and local levels. The local officials imposing this ban are not "progressives". What would be your strategy for arguing against what has happened in Lhokseumawe?
