Today I was getting some things in town, and I saw a female in the market who possessed a cute face. I wanted to complement her, but I realized how many things could go horribly wrong simply because I wanted to express my appreciation for aesthetic features I found pleasing. It irks me that I must suppress my wholesome expressions and appreciations because this society is afflicted with the cancer of egalitarianism and is suffering its follow-on symptoms.
@lain He also didn't have glass in his window, the internal combustion engine, or modern medicine.
I get that it's a show and this is green text, but if someone wants to have a conversation about why housing is affordable to most people and why wives don't stay at home with children, we're going to need something more substantial than a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.
@Justicar If you've never investigated the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet not India Pale Ale), I recommend it. It's fascinating reading.
@Justicar For example, it is easier to say "she shells she shells by the she shore" than to say "She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

The "s" is the Voiceless alveolar sibilant, but the "sh" is the Voiceless alveolar retracted sibilant.

Languages change. The cause may be cultural such as happened with the Norman invasion of Britain under William the Conqueror when English gained many influences from Latin. The cause could be a shift in commonly used phrases that make the change of the tongue from one shape to another more difficult or easy.
@Justicar @VooDooMedic Charging interest is haram, but they can still loan money to people via premium contracts and other such instruments. See here: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/islamic_investing.asp
@VooDooMedic Hold up... I accidentally cut this little tidbit when trying to swap out the long-form text, and I'm sure you'd not want to miss this:
In 1907, there was a major financial panic which had a great number of causes. (Just search for "Panic of 1907".) One response was put forward by Paul Warburg and Jacob Schiff articles and speeches advocating for a central bank which was supported by multiple other influential bankers.
@VooDooMedic
Then in 1913 under the recommendations of a Republican-led commission a fellow by the name of Woodrow Wilson signed a bill creating the Federal Reserve System to create a centralize bank to control the regional Federal Reserve banks.
@VooDooMedic
* The 1863 National Banking Act created the precursor to what would be the Fed, and implemented many practices such as a uniform national currency with bank notes, which were different from the paper money the treasury issued, backed by government debt rather than precious metals.
@VooDooMedic I'd like to mention that the United states had attempted several times to create central banks:
* Bank of North America: charter repealed in 1785 due to corruption.
* First Bank of the United States: Charter not renewed before the war of 1812.
* Second Bank of the United States: Charter expired in 1836 under Andrew Jackson's refusal to renew it.
@UncleIroh @YoMomz @ButtWorldsMan I'll agree with that. Young males being in the dark about the truth of the nature of the world and what upholds society and the order of their cosmos was at the least an intermediate goal towards the end goal of destruction of the civilization.
@TimeSpent If they love flowers, yes, but you could buy something from them if they have something you want.
@Stahesh @YoMomz @UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan I hear you, and I understand that this is a value judgement, which is fine.
A "better safe than sorry" attitude will certainly stop perpetrators, and even if there is a question, you can easily see in many cases what is legitimate and what is not as you outlined above.
As long as you understand the ramifications of your choices, I am sanguine.
@YoMomz I agree. It they are taking provable actions to make someone into a victim, the victim must be protected, and they must be stopped.
@Stahesh @YoMomz @UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan Those actions are red flags and the actors are guilty of those acts; they likely have the intention to do more terrible things; I agree.
In these cases, it is up to the fathers to protect themselves and their families, which I fully support. I don't support granting the government the power to decide if someone is guilty of having the wrong intentions.
@Stahesh @YoMomz Being redpilled is both painful and wonderful. The truth often has that quality.
@YoMomz @Stahesh I sympathize. I've known people who have experienced such things too.
@Stahesh @YoMomz @UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan I understand your perspective in this.
The issue is that we have to "draw the line somewhere".
We could prosecute an individual based upon their perceived intention, and you'd probably rightly identify and prevent acts like molesting children, but where do you draw the line?
The state, the means of coercion and control via force then has the authority to criminalize people's intentions because they've been given the responsibility thereof.
