All liberties are ultimately related. Anyhow, I am out of this thread. Carry on without me.
The German comment was meant as joke. Sorry you didn't take it that way. It was a riff on a Rowan Atkinson routine, BTW. You are creating straw...
In the US, we are innocent until proven guilty. So until you are proven guilty, you are not supposed to get your rights trampled. If you commit a...
We are never going to agree on this. If you like the way your country does it, that is fine by me. I like the way my country does it, and that is...
Respectfully, those are myths. I am knee deep in the gun rights movement and first, we have no influence on how the Justice Department keeps...
So true. And I think there is another benefit. Real proficiency in martial arts is not about being the fastest or strongest. It is about...

Of course for the defender, in the incident, it would their perception. But afterwards, it will be up to a prosecutor, and perhaps a jury, if the...
The OP talked about Kyle Rittenhouse, so I assumed we are talking about self defense in the US. The legal principle I quoted was for the State of...
You are conflating two of my statements. The US not only has a great deal of immigration, but it has a lot of indigenous diversity also. There is...
