        When the stupid assholes can’t cull themselves naturally it drives the average intelligence downward.

        And yet … here you are.

        …until you’re personally involved in a fatal accident—even if by no fault of your own—where the other party would have survived. Post traumatic stress is no joke. I don’t think we should aspire to have a society with more suffering.

            The argument I’ve made is that I don’t wish to personally suffer psychological damage because of somebody’s death. We don’t allow others to inflict harm in other ways, and this is in my opinion no different. It has nothing to do with tyranny.

                What an absolutely absurd position you’ve chosen to take on this. I can only hope for the sake of compassion that this is not what you actually believe.
