> [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > On your second point. I think the main impetus behind this back and forth is the notion that morality is highly subjective and what he considers moral may be entirely different than what you consider moral and when we have these disagreements about morality, our system of government gives us a mechanism for breaking the tie. its called democracy. We vote for representatives and they apply their morality in crafting laws that represent the morality of their constituents. > > This doesn’t mean that they can’t get it wrong. We had slavery for fucking centuries. But it provides at least a rebuttable presumption of morality. Sure, but my point is not “Bricker likes to argue about legality… others like to argue about ethics”. It’s “Bricker likes to argue about legality with people who think they are arguing about ethics”. Both are reasonable debates to have, but it behooves us all to be clear about which debate we’re engaging in. ---

> [@Bone](#): > > Swiper no swiping! > > Tell me all you know about Sofia the First, and a crowd favorite in my household, Avatar the Last Airbender. Sofia the First - newly minted princess after her commoner mom marries the King of Enchantia. Has an amulet that summons animals and lets her talk to them. Sounds remarkably like Alex Dunphy when she talks. Friends include Ruby and Jade. Enemies include Miss Nettle. (I have an honorary niece, third grade). 🙂 Got nothing on the Last Airbender, though. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > Got nothing on the Last Airbender, though. As one of my favorite animated shows, I must recommend you correct this grievous error in judgment and watch this show immediately. It is streaming on Amazon Prime and it is great for adults and children. I describe it as a complex show disguised as a children’s program. If you fail to watch this show, I’ll have to question your judgment in all things. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > **Bricker** has posted in two separate threads his disappointment at those beknighted libruls who called for Comey to get fired earlier, but are now upset that he got fired. Bricker furthermore, without anyone asking, informed us that he’s thought firing Comey was a bad idea all along. > > I’m realizing he’s not just hunting for examples of liberal hypocrisy. He’s also fishing for validation for his own self-image of being a Man of Foolish Consistency–er, excuse me, a Man of Consistent Principles. And if we won’t give him that validation, he’ll give it to himself with one hand, while using the other to wag a finger at the rest of us less consistent beings. > > The OP here is way overstated, but this is a pretty irritating tendency of Bricker’s. It seems like highlighting liberal hypocrisy, seems redundant, gets your goat. ---
