I want the government to protect me from the dumb fucks that actually do want the government to dictate how I should live my life. It's the pieces of human garbage that want to tell men they can't marry another man, that tell women they don't have autonomy over their own body, that want to stop the teaching of the theory of evolution and include prayer in school, that want to dictate others' lives.
Those calling for more rights aren't asking for the government to dictate anyone's lives. They're literally doing the opposite of that.
Enforcing policy is dictating lives though, how about just use a different name for marriage and do a different ritual? Unless that's only if you actually only care for inheritance laws.
It's not an infringement of your rights to stop you from beating/killing people you don't like. It's not an infringement of your rights to allow others to do things you don't want to do yourself.
How about people just treat each better than forcing it on people by the state.
We tried that, several times, each time the south did something stupid like dredd Scott or Jim crow or the kkk.
The only way to stop them from trying to keep brown people as pets was to send soldiers, they don't understand any other language.
It's sad you think like that
I lived in the south and I'm not white, how did you expect me to think?
They don't though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are "people" out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.
I think deep down that is what you want, I think you want lgbt people to be incriminated and women to have less rights because then you have a bogeyman to fight against.
So much for a rational discussion. Great showing for yourself and others with similar beliefs.
That's some exceptional mental gymnastics right there, keep thinking like that and you'll go far
That's what laws seek to do because people clearly don't do it on their own, dumbass. Be good to others, or face punishment. It's not fucking rocket science here.
No it's not but you should be genuinely good and not down the barrel of a gun with coercion or threats.
I'm going to guess you're Christian. I'm also going to guess you don't see one bit of irony with your statement.
