Compelling speech is a violation of the first amendment.

Yeah, I wish they could force it, but they can’t. They might be able to come to an agreement between both parties that if the defendant did XYZ, the plaintiff would reduce damages by X amount.

I don’t see that happening, though.

Could you tell me the post you’re referencing? I would like to investigate this further for you.

I will be responding to you both, and ask very nicely that you shut this argument down. Moderators don’t want to play man in the middle, and you’re both using the reporting feature to try to win this argument. This stops now, or you both get a week vacation from !news.

I wasn’t arguing with you about what they say NOW. I was pointing you to what they literally said THEN.

You said “a well regulated militia didn’t mean the same thing back then”

I merely pointed you to the founders own words to show you that you were wrong.

It wasn’t an amendment. It was baked into the first article.

You pointing out the RECENT supreme court ruling was a bad faith argument against my rebuttal.

Your comment has been reported, but as you had links and appeared to be arguing in good-faith, I decided to leave it. With that said, I completely disagree with your words.

Review Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 15-16.

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Militia was what we now call “National Guard”. Speaking from experience, as a former guardsman as well as vet in 2 other branches. Back when I went to basic, this was well discussed as a given. I’m surprised people think otherwise to this day.

God, I wish I was smart enough to lie this well. No. I like sex, and hate condoms. I’m the dum.

You incorrectly assume I’m intelligent.

I make ~$200K a year. As a father of 5, I wish I had not had a single one. I love them, but the stress of taking care of them coupled with the future of the planet makes me regret life choices.

Rather than arguing, I have requested that other moderators intervene, so there no semblance of me being heavy-handed in my actions regarding this. I have explained the rules, and the justifications of actions taken.

From the modlog (trolling emphasized):

I also guarantee that the cops and guards were treating him like shit Oh you guarantee it huh? Must be fact then. Thanks for personally guaranteeing this one for us. We wouldn’t want to trifle with such things as evidence when selecting our pitchforks now would we? Thanks for the downvotes =)

I removed rule breaking comments. If you can point to a rule that was broken with their comment, please report it. You can contest their comment, but all I ask is you do it in with some civility. I’m not saying you can’t argue, but don’t troll, bash, name call, or other things that are explicitly laid out in the rules.

Rule 1: Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

I removed both offending (read: rule breaking) comments. Not just yours. The modlogs are free to view by everybody.

The moderation team isn’t here to pick a side. We’re here to make sure fights (like this one) don’t break out. You are both being combative. I don’t mind discourse happening, but keep it civil is the only request. If you must be combative, move it to DMs

I’d recommend that you both behave with more civility.

This comment was removed out of an abundance of caution, while I brought it to the other moderators for their thoughts. After a discussion, I agree that I acted in haste, and I truly am sorry.

Let’s stay civil. Yeah, I use uBlock as well, and it’s great. Not every user is a power user. Let’s not be rude to others.

US Central time. I’m sure you’ve seen enough of my reports to know I want this community to succeed.

I have some modding experience, but not enough to say I’m a pro.

Let me guess “men can’t be raped”?

You’re not just wrong - you’re a bad person.
