News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Which makes you wrong. Which is your right, I guess 🤷
Nope. Literally nothing beneficial about that
Does it, though? Or is that just something you've convinced yourself of to avoid confronting the reality that you're basing a 21st century society on the ideas of 1700s slave owners?
Clearly it CAN'T, as evidenced by this gestures at everything
Fun fact: such morons exist in all countries, yet almost all other constitutions DO include free speech protections.
To pretend that the First Amendment is somehow unique and impossible to replicate is so obtuse that I'm beginning to doubt if you know the first thing about how any of this works 🤦
Yes, I specifically addressed that already. Those issues would need to be dealt with first. Which has nothing to do with whether or not sticking with the centuries old decrees of slave owners is in itself a good idea.
Me neither. That it exists in its current condition is exhibit A of the case against insisting on a functionally dead document that's not fit for the times we live in.
How would you know? Under the current system, anywhere from a third to over half of them aren't ever consulted, or even acknowledged.
You sure about that? Other than the second one, which has been obsolete since the US acquired a standing military, all of the 10 first amendments are either present in newer constitutions, routinely violated with impunity by the people in power, or both.
You, for example, are a citizen who I would not trust to make better decisions than what went into the Bill of Rights.
You're not alone, either. Most people I come across I wouldn't trust to make better decisions.
I'm going to ignore you now. People like you are insufferable and I know you can't resist another insufferable response.
Goodbye, and good luck.
