I think that it will not be waged between North and South for state rights, but rather between Republicans and Democrats for human rights. It will happen before our 250th anniversary in 2026.

How about people just treat each better than forcing it on people by the state.

We tried that, several times, each time the south did something stupid like dredd Scott or Jim crow or the kkk.

The only way to stop them from trying to keep brown people as pets was to send soldiers, they don't understand any other language.

It's sad you think like that

They don't though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are "people" out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.

That's what laws seek to do because people clearly don't do it on their own, dumbass. Be good to others, or face punishment. It's not fucking rocket science here.

No it's not but you should be genuinely good and not down the barrel of a gun with coercion or threats.

I'm going to guess you're Christian. I'm also going to guess you don't see one bit of irony with your statement.

No I'm an atheist, if you need religion or a belief system to be a good person then you must be a terrible person.
