Also violating their consent.

Every time I make them put their shoes on. Make them do their homework. Eat their vegetables. Be home at a certain time.

Parenting is all about violating consent. Children get input, not veto rights.

I remember and author, possibly Pratchette, decrying the phrase "I don't believe my eyes." Believe them or not, they are how you perceive the world, and you cannot act much in contrary to what they tell you.

Ditto your ears, your senses of touch, smell, taste. Realistically, you can choose which of your senses to prioritize, but you cannot reject their input entirely.

Your reading comprehension needs work.

That seems incredibly unlikely.

Once again, I long for precidented times.

I didn't say otherwise.

I have no comment on weather the Korean War was a genocide. I don't know enough about the topic.

Your statement, that I replied to, was "Nothing in the community rule say that the content should be about established facts"

If I didn't remember, then it would be not meaningfully different from the life I live now.

That is what I understand. But that is not meaningful in this case. Speaking purely hypothetically, there is no reason that the US could not take advantage of North Korean aggression as an excuse to commit the genocide that the article accuses them of.

Should we be learning things that aren't true?

But the media is going to split coverage. There will be very direct comparisons of crowd sizes. Some people will have to decide which event to attend, as they can't attend both.

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

In general, stay out of the ducking way.
