RE: We have a Democracy and thus are wiser than you back water Dictatorship types...

I'm glad to see you're still around. I was talking about you with someone else yesterday I think. We both had thought you had dropped off the radar. I am glad that you didn't.

My main thing here is that quantity of people does not make something better. It can be just as bad, worse, or in some case better. This is also true when it is one person.

Ultimately the idea that someone else can dictate what you are allowed and not allowed to do even with things like victimless crimes is a problem whether an individual is mandating such rules, or a group.

Sort:  

Indeed, I agree. It's the tendency though, a bias that favor quantity. I think I had also said something about people just tacitly accept decisions based on that bias tendency, rather that actually evaluating the decision itself for validity. Like biases do, they bypass proper thinking hehe.

I took a few weeks away as a protest to the flags. I'll try to post solutions like some want me to. Maybe something will come of it :) . I didn't see it as productive the first time since it's not an issue enough people care about. I just went back to making people aware of the flagging issue. Maybe now a solution will be more welcome just to shut me up lol. Ahh... to just stand down, go along to get along, keep the peace, then all of the changes from the flagging fuss would likely not have happened and I would not have been a target :P lol. I knew the repercussion potential beforehand as I'm familiar with what happens when immune authority is challenged, and know why so many people don't stand up to issues or stand with others. Thanks for speaking/posting on the issue.
