I have questions.
I will be attacked for these. Socrates drank hemlock for corrupting the youth of Athens. The vast majority of people do not like having to examine their belief structure. They like it even less when they cannot defend that belief structure.
Ad hominem gets you dropped, block and banned.
You may ask questions. I absolutely WILL answer them to the best of my ability and will back up my answers with facts and evidence, if the question is of that nature. If you ask my opinion, that may or may not require empirical proof.
Where appropriate, I request that you cite your sources. If you do not cite sources, then do not expect much in the way of my answers to your questions. If the question asks your opinion, sources not necessary.
Part 1
Should we charge leaders of other countries with US-specific crimes? Can other countries charge our leaders with their country-specific crimes? If we charge the leaders of other countries with violating US law, who else will be arrested? Vladmir Putin? The midget from N. Korea? Myanmar's leaders? African country leaders? If China decides to come and arrest Trump for violating Chinese law, is this fair?
Part 2
At what point do we as a nation stop controlling what American adults do to themselves? What gives anyone the right to tell an adult he or she may not engage in risky behavior? What else should we ban? How many lives has alcohol ruined v. how many lives has marijuana ruined? What is your acceptable death or ruined life threshold? Do you believe in body autonomy?
Part 3
If we are looking to hold mass killers accountable, when will we hold the US government accountable for the deaths the military has inflicted over the past 20 or so years? What about other countries? Iran, Iraq, Syria? Great Britain? Russia? China?
Part 4
Can you show me anywhere prohibition has actually worked? How did the US experiment with alcohol prohibition work out?
Part 5
"And now the head has been cut off the snake. Let's hope Trump cleans out the cartels for good." Can you show me any place, any time, anywhere in which a power vacuum was not promptly filled? How did the regime change in Afghanistan work?
Part 6
Given the double-talk coming out of Washington, whom should we believe and when? Are we at war with Venezuela or not? Are we there to run the country or not? Are we there to take over the oil fields or not?
Part 7
If we are at war, are you willing to sign up and fight? Are you, if you are a parent, willing to send your children to the fight? If you are not willing to physically join the fight, do you truly support this military effort? If you will not physically fight, how is OK to send someone else to fight?
