We do not agree on what constitutes harm. I believe you should be free to try to upset others by expressing your views any way you want as long as it doesn't harm them. Getting upset is not getting harmed.

intent to piss off is not intent to harm. you are not being harmed by being pissed off. it is not harmful. in a civilized society, claiming harm from a book burning is called being a little piss baby. they should grow up
Your last point is wrong and I don't think you should assume those are my views. Behavior in concentration camps should obviously be policed, because it's significant and not recreatable and should therefore be preserved as a place for the people it is significant to. A privately owned printed book is not, so you should be able to attempt to piss other people off by burning it, if that is your perogative. If we're getting specific, I don't think you should be allowed to start a fire anywhere near buildings you don't own, unless it's to light a cigarette or w\e
Other than that, I agree you should find a civilized way to express your beliefs, but we shouldn't, for good reasons, police the way people express themselves. A law like this sets a precedent for religious organizations; that they can have their way if they (re)act violently. It will lead to more violence down the road so we need a better solution.
If i went into the street and condemned people for whatever choices they make, without harassing them, that would be legal. You're not harming anyone by burning a book and you wouldn't hurt anyone either by just pissing them off. The problem is a very vocal part of the world have been brainwashed to incite violence when this specific area of their feelings get hurt.
It's only made a gray area because you can't tell them that they can in fact just learn to ignore it and practice their religion in peace and expect it to work. Their beliefs are not built upon letting others express their views freely if they react with violence when someone burns their printed holy word. Their actions would be justified if there was only one copy or a building was burnt down, but it's a worthless material thing, and the disrespect it signifies will not go away just because you disallow people to express it.
Sorry, long rant to say I actually agree that this law goes too far.
just go for long walks, stretch, do some light joint and tendon focused exercises
could this be a solar flare?
bad drawing
absolute trash. get fucking wiped you asshat, and godspeed and a healthy recovery to the mc driver
reject the 2 party system. none of them will ever represent a reasonable fan of political views for the majority of people
yes, and then a counter-misinformation war based on words and phrases that include "Its all AI generated", "its not real", "youre stupid for believing this" will take place and what we end up with is a generation that doesnt believe tiananmen square happened, or at best is skeptical of it. rinse and repeat for more dark spots in history and you've essentially hidden any lesson your prime-for-the-raping common populace has ever learned under a rug of misinformation
i agree, but unfair market monopolies and lobbyism is what caused the housong crisis in the first place and those will continue to exist in other economies as well if we don't legislate against them. the free market gives people the power to fuck over others. people have forgotten to include the philosophical counterpart to "as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others" in their capitalism because they were too busy cooming over their agency
the US and humanity as a whole is too tribeminded to instinctively act cooperatively across communities, and especially borders, which is why we need to systematically make it impossible for anyone to be left in the dirt. there is no human we do not have the resources to give a happy and fulfilling life, so anyone asking for more at the cost of that should be fucking beheaded, if you're serious about minimizing human suffering.
yeah what this guy said basically
