🤷‍♀️🧙‍♂️ True or false? 🙄❓

We should have a time travel and get back into The Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 in Pennsylvania. The uprising quickly disintegrated and subsequent trials resulted in the conviction of only two individuals. Washington pardoned both, and on his last day in office, extended clemency to 10 others in the region charged with "high treason." Then he said that: "It is ever my desire to temper the administration of justice with a reasonable extension of mercy." He could have smashed all by the hammer of law but to err is human. In some cases, the state needs a reasonable extension of mercy than the sharp sword of justice.

Thank you very much @diogenes_cask!! I understand what you write (i read it two times 😛 )!! But on the other hand now i think it can also be used for the wrong reasons by for example presidents to help family members or people who committed crimes that helped the president. So for example Biden and Trump can use it to help people but it that may also be abuse that they do that. And nobody can stop it now.

---------------------------

Although i am curious what people maybe think about the previous statement and if it is true or false. I also have a new statement:

➡️ Protestors cant block highways and protest in some important buildings with a lot of damage.

I was not sure how to exactly write the statement but i will explain. In a lot of countries in the world, Extinction Rebellion has blocked highways and even for example ambulances or people who had emergencies could not go away. In America protestors for Trump went in a group to the Capitol and took it. And in my country The Netherlands there was a LOTTTT of damage in universities because of protestors for Palestine and against Israel. Even there were masked persons looking for some people in the university who work there and that could be very dangerous.

The statement is not about if ER is right or not. Or about the war in Gaza. BUTTT it is about if you can protest that way. I think that you should NOT be allowed to protest on highways and some important buildings where a lot of damage can take place (and it is also super unsafe for people) it is also NOT allowed.

What do you think about this statement? True ✅ or false ❌ ?

hello yue . the problem is that protests for which they protest do not help. which means there are more bad guys who destroy everything for others. In Brussels there are many protests for higher wages, better education, and so on. but always the bad guys who shouldn't be there at all have to ruin it for others by smashing shop windows etc. I've never known anything good to be achieved by protesting

I think that you made a super good point that for example ER makes more people angry about it with what they do than that other persons also want the same measures. So i think it does not help at all and it is even VERY dangerous if for example an ambulance cant go away because they block everything. People will only get angry!! 🙄🙄

Hello everybody! 🙋‍♀️

Today is Sunday 🌈🌞🌈 and in my country a lot of shops are closed. Maybe in your country it is the same on Sunday or on another day in the week. I have this statement:

➡️ It would be better that shops and other things (for example library, bowling house, cinemas, museums and other things) are OPEN on Sunday if they want to.

I think the statement is TRUE because everybody can decide himself or herself what you want to do on a Sunday. So if you want to rest at home: that is ok. But if you want to go to the library or the cinema: that is ok too. But of course shops can decide to close on Sunday but i think it should not be obliged. And of course a lot of things are open on Sunday in some countries but not in others.

What do you think about the statement? True ✅ or false ❌ ?

➡️ It would be better that shops and other things (for example library, bowling house, cinemas, museums and other things) are OPEN on Sunday if they want to.

Absolutely, I think businesses should be open as much as possible. It's so stupid that the vast majority of people work Monday through Friday and then everybody has to rush with the crowd on Saturday to do whatever they need to do because on Sunday everything is closed. I won't even mention the countless businesses or public services that work the exact same days/hours as you which makes life impossible.

I'm aware there are benefits to having moments when seemingly everyone is off too, but I believe there are more drawbacks than benefits and I'd be heavily in favor of more flexibility.

➡️ It would be better that shops and other things (for example library, bowling house, cinemas, museums and other things) are OPEN on Sunday if they want to.

The good thing when everything is closed on Sunday is that people don't have to work that day and have to rest/spend time with their family. In Germany, most of the grocery shops are closed on Sunday too, and I think it's great; I just have to plan a little to buy my food accordingly, but on Sunday, I know nothing will ever disturb my tranquility

Hello everybody! 🙋‍♀️

For this time i have two NOTTT so serious statements to debate! 😛 😛 But I am curious what you think! 😊😇

➡️ Ice cream is BETTER than cake!!

➡️ People should not have to go to school or work on their birthdays.

What do you think about the statements? True ✅ or false ❌ ?

➡️ Ice cream is BETTER than cake!!

Both are good..But i can‘t decide which is better, sooo..Ice cream cake. (I never even had one before but idc it always looks and sounds so good)

➡️ People should not have to go to school or work on their birthdays.

I don‘t know, it‘s not how it works but i think people should decide if they wanna come or not on their special days 😛

➡️ Ice cream is BETTER than cake!!

No, and I will not elaborate 🙂

➡️ People should not have to go to school or work on their birthdays.

I was born 1 day away from having a perpetual day off for my birthday, but my mother decided to deliver me on the 2nd of May, so I will say that everyone should work for their birthday, but it's purely out of spite 😁

hahahh now i am super curious @Lianshen why you think cake is better because you dont explain it!! i think im the same like @Emmiiii_17_11 because SOMEEE ice creams are super nice but also SOMEEE cakes and not all. 🙂

and i think people should be free on their birthdays or at least go earlier to home to prepare to celebrate!! 😛 BUTTTTT i know that is not really possible but it would be fun!! 😃

Hello everybody!! 🙋‍♀️ I dont want to SPOIL anybody's weekend but i had to think a lot about something that was in the Dutch news so it is the statement for this forum today. But if you dont want to be disturbed by super serious and sad things than STOP READING NOW.

Ok this is the statement:

➡️ People are allowed to determine euthanasia ONLY after they speak with a doctor and if there is a medical reason. The medical reason can be physical (for example HUGEEE pain) or mental (for example dementia in a very bad way).

About this statement: personally i think that there should always be a doctor and it should only happen for medical reasons. If there is no doctor than people can too easily maybe decide euthanasia if maybe it is for example a depression but they can perhaps get better.

In the news there was also a message of DOUBLE euthanasia. So a couple decides to do that. I did not want to read more because it is super painful i think if your husband dies or your wife. And maybe if both have dementia i can understand it. But it is also difficult if there is no medical reason but i do understand it even if i would not do that because you have maybe children or grandchildren when you are super old. And you have to take care of them too!!

that's so true. in sweden it's crazy.

shops but also places like coffee shops open at 10-11 am,and they close super early. everything here closes at 4pm and on the weekends at 6pm or 7pm.

swedish people don't work a lot lmao

I think here the stores open at like 7 - 9 one store opens at 5am

close at like 10 at night one store atleast i know in another city it is open 24 hours

Thank you very much @Idkbro and @jiijii04!!! 🙏🙏😊😊

For today i have three new statements:

➡️ Animal testing should be banned.

➡️ Guns and other weapons should be banned (unless you are a soldier or in the police).

➡️ You ONLY have to follow sexual education in schools if you want to be in the class and are ready for it (so not in the first two years mandatory).

What do you think about the statements? True ✅ or false ❌ ? You can react to ANY of these statements or earlier statements in this forum that you like to comment on. Thank you very much!! 🤗🥰🥰

For all 3 of them TRUE

No far all of them.

➡️ Animal testing should be banned.

- Animal testing is important to understand many things on behavioural and physiological aspect, and it's less bad, but also more affordable, to test on rats and other species than your conspecifics. Without animal testing, no Pasteur and rabbies vaccine for example.

➡️ Guns and other weapons should be banned (unless you are a soldier or in the police).

- Banning guns is not a bann on guns, but a bann on honest gun owners. This is a massive difference to take in consideration. In France, you can find almost anything in some streets if you know who to ask for, even in the "small" city I come from. More than that, the problem is not to possess one or another item, but how do you use it.

If you take some factors in consideration and don't just look at the US where almost anyone can own a weapon, then gun possessions is nowhere like a huge problem. Beside, look at Switzerland or Norway; who would say those are terrible countries? Now look at Eritrea or Somalia and tell me which of the former or second countries you would think as safer. Can you then say that (legal) gun ownership is the biggest issue there?

➡️ You ONLY have to follow sexual education in schools if you want to be in the class and are ready for it (so not in the first two years mandatory).

- You get to have some sexual education at a point or another to avoid some problems like STDs. If you make it "when you are ready", then some will never be ready either for religious beliefs/parents pushing behind or other reasons. It probably shouldn't be as near as what it is recently (at least the crazy things medias are telling us), but it should still be a topic adressed with sensibility and responsibility to avoid having a 14 years old coming home with a bad surprise.

Merci beaucoup @Lianshen!!! 🙏🙏 I wait for some responses more and also react to all comments!! 🙂 But i am happy always when you answer and let us know what you think about the statements!!!!! And @Fleurke too of course!!! 🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇

Sometimes i agree with the statements i post in this forum and sometimes not!! 😛

I agree with pretty much everything @Lianshen said so I won't waste time rephrasing stuff 😛
