  1. @UKMonkey About your general elections argument... if you were to compare it to Brexit, then it would mean to have another general elections before the elected person got to be in office. If you elect it again after 4-5 years it is different, since you can say that you tried that option for a reasonable amount of time. In case of Brexit the try part didn't even start yet. Also, if things are so debateable after a vote has been cast but not applied, then you are really diluting the idea&process. In time more and more decisions will be fought against and the general public will care less and less about voting, while those in power will focus more and more on giving reasons of not applying the vote if it wasn't in their favor.

  2. Can we also talk about the TOTAL lack of responsability ? The idea that if X convinces Y of something, it's not Y's fault, it's X's ? You know, the basis of censorship - don't read/listen to A or B, because you're too dumb to realize it's not good, therefore "we" have to restrict your access to it. It's not like this kind of censorship went into really awful stuff 100% of the time... I mean, if someone is converted out of christianity ... why is the random guy on the internet guilty for that ? Maybe it's God's way of testing his subjects, what do you know and care ? And what happens someone comes to the conclusion that God is not real by itself ? We must pray the all-knowing God, but God-forbid us of learning logic, or we might have second-guesses of this all-mighty God and its religion. Does that make sense ? Every input you have, must be considered and it's you alone that comes to a conclusion. And by that, you're solely responsable for that. If the beliefs are so easily challenged... maybe God should up its game ?
