Clearly you are new here.
@th3j35t3r, Please keep an eye on the provocateur.
@jurban @th3j35t3r what? Im literally a Democrat. I thought that was what you meant.
@BMO316 @th3j35t3r

Calm.
@jurban @th3j35t3r i did not attack you.
Morality, criminality, rights and governance are all abstractions.
There isn't much tangible in these concepts.
If you have not been trained to build models in your mind using these abstractions you cannot use them to make decisions.
You default to your gut.
To intuition.
To the tangible examples.
To the anecdotes.
