Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If you murder a murderer you're not reducing the amount of murderers.
But last time I talked to you you were advocating the poisoning of a puppy so at least you are consistent.
If you kill two or more you are.
Touché.
An executioner is not a murderer if the condemned is guilty.
Just because the murder is state-sanctioned does not mean it's not a murder.
That's literally what it means, actually.
You don't get to randomly redefine words because you don't like what they mean for whatever reason.
Do you believe any and all state-sanctioned murders are justified and legal?
No such thing.
Sorry to invoke Godwin's law here, but are you telling me that during the Holocaust that the Jewish people weren't murdered?
Are you telling me Ukraine and Palestine civilians aren't being killed?
Depends. There were plenty of interpersonal killings of Jews during the early stages of the Holocaust that would easily count as murder. The state-sanctioned death camps were not murders, even if it's also true that murders took place within the camps.
Of course not. Being killed is not being murdered. There are Ukrainians and Palestinians being both killed and murdered right now, but no western understanding of the word "murder" can accurately be applied to an active war front.
How poor is your reading comprehension to come to that conclusion and have you considered remedial courses at a community college? It's never too late.
What about you calling a country that's being invaded 'an active warfront?'
Ukraine is being invaded, it's not a war front.
Who said anything about murdering him? The state cannot commit murder. There's an argument to be made that Dorsey did not deserve the death penalty (I don't think he did), but this is a dangerously reductive view.
But last time I talked to you you were misconstrueing my argument about society's responsibility to preserve its safety, so I suppose you are too.
My guy if you want to hash it out in that thread again, go there, but to recap:
An untrained, unfenced pit bull is a massive threat to both safety and property. The OP of that thread expressed legitimate concerns w/r/t both and was looking for advice on how to stop it. I gave two options, with emphasis that the most harm-reductive one be taken first. What exactly was your advice, again? That the OP spend several thousand dollars reinforcing their yard's fencing to keep their neighbor's pit out?
I gave you the advise to seek therapy if you think poisoning a puppy is the answer to any problem.
You two just enjoy arguing 🙂
This brings me back, how the fuck did you come across this?
I'm new to this whole lemmy thing. Reddit seems to have stopped people seeing my posts. I just happened on this as I was browsing through. I'm from UK. Nice to meet you maggot fart.
Hi, I had two curries for tea, and then went casino, and I started farting at the table. It was OK though, cause there was a ragged looking guy sitting next to me, and everyone thought he was the creator of the whiff. But then the dam broke, and before I had time to move, I had rivers of stinking shit all in my pants and down my legs. But it was OK, cause ragged was still there. I was winning big, so was reluctant to make a move home, but in the end the silent farts had become a thing of the past, and I was exposed as the gruesome creator of foulness. I said sorry to everyone, and threw a couple chips at each, unfortunately they were partially shitstained as I had to scratch my arsemess. I picked up my chips, and ran for the door in the hope of avoiding covering the casino floor in my leakage, but the attempt, though valiant, was ultimately in vain. I'm gonna get someone to cash my chips for me, and not go back for two years. Might be OK then. Hope you're well.
If you’re trying to link an image it isn’t working.
I just see a blank comment.

Sorry man it’s still not working.
Did you get shadow banned here too?
Hi , I think someone is word policing me.
How am I hypocritical?
That's a really bad line of reasoning.
How? Murder is interpersonal, premeditated manslaughter. There's no interpersonal relationship between the state and an hypothetical victim. The state can kill unjustly (which I believe applies to Dorsey), but it cannot be guilty of murder.
