I oppose the death penalty, but not because I think it's wrong to kill some criminals. I am perfectly fine with ending people like Tim McVeigh or Susan Smith. My problem is that I don't have confidence courts can reliably tell who deserves and who doesn't.

They always say the death penalty is for the "worst of the worst", but many arbitrary factors can make the difference. The race /social class of the criminal/ victim. The ambition of the prosecutor. The location of the crime.

Horseshoe crabs are vexing. We capture millions for their blood (useful for testing the purity of phama). There are alternatives, but biologist worry that the animals will suffer more if they become useless to humans.

When you say "children's gun" do you mean a gun for children to use, or a gun designed to use on children?

I'm sure there is a difference between warthunder and world of tanks. Next time I'm flying DCS, I'll ask around if anybody has kids that play them.

Official and recognized military taxonomists insist that a vehicle doesn't count as a tank unless it's classified manuals and specs have been leaked in the World of Tanks forums.

A souls-like must have a couple of the following:

  1. video game where the difficulty can be incorporated into the player's identity.

  2. a conspiracy between monitor and controller manufacturers

  3. Difficulty modes are forbidden.

  4. has an easy mode called "magic build"

  5. Story, narrative, and plot are all forbidden. The player can learn about the world, but cannot affect it.

  6. Sekiro is the best one.

You're being dishonest. The definition of the words rules out the undesirable conclusion. People can't do anything in the name of atheism.

If "Religion poisons everything" then removing the poison should rehabilitate the patient, no? So please demonstrate that secular societies are more benevolent than religious ones. Show me that those who invented industrial murder are morally superior to ad-hoc killers.

Did you know that the word genocide was coined to describe the actions of a government who was actively trying to secularize?
