Kind of pathetic how we still have to solve the issue of cutting up baby dicks as ritual.

Egypt's worse; they still cut off the clits of preteen girls as ritual.

Jews and Egyptians aren't even trying to hide it. They do it specifically to reduce the sensitivity of sexual organs.

Christians are the useful idiots (as always) who have been duped into thinking it's for 'medical' or 'aesthetic' purposes. In all honesty, Christians cut up the dicks of their kids because the dad's dick was cut up for him and he doesn't want to admit there's something wrong with it.

Christians don't do it. Americans do it. And they did it for the same explicit reason as the others thanks to the psycho weirdo Kellogg of the cereal fame to try to prevent masturbation, and sexual pleasure.

Being cruel to other people by hiding behind some power imbalance.

I don't want to live in a society where the consequence for this behavior is a meaningless fine.

Is this not murder? There's no way he didn't contribute to her death even if she was already terminally ill. Stabbing a terminally ill person is murder, putting a newborn baby on the street under the guise of "it's in my property and it's not my kid" is murder, why isn't this? At least criminal negligence no?

Also, is Nanimo doing okay? Like, just in general, but is the housing situation as bad as Vancouver?

Lobbying; at least in its current form. Corporations being treated as people when it benefits them, but not when it would hurt them. Executives not being held legally accountable for the harm they inflict. SJC-Legalized bribery (as “speech”). HOAs. The Bail system. Legislatures redistricting themselves. Racial profiling. ICE. For-Profit prisons. For-Profit Healthcare. Destroying our ecosystem for profit.

Companies reporting price increases as "adjusting for inflation" when the price hike does not match inflation should have the entire C-suite going to the gulag. We need to unironically do what China does with its rich, terrorize them and make them walk on eggshells and hand out ridiculously harsh punishments to management when a business commits a crime.

Also, campaign promises made by politicians running for office should be legally binding. If something they said would happen did not happen, they should be tried for treason and the burden should be on them to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they tried everything they possibly could to keep the promise but forces they could not possibly overcome prevented them from succeeding. Maybe then they'll only promise things they actually intend to do.

"ask me later" on phone apps. No means no!

[-] Batadon@feddit.org 16 points 3 weeks ago

If there's also a "no" option it's fine, sometimes I even want the "ask me later"

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 45 points 3 weeks ago

Fixed prices for fines. These should be based on a fixed percentage, not fixed dollar amount, of a persons overall wealth. None of this bullshit that can bankrupt a poor person but be the price of admission for the rich.

[-] manxu@piefed.social 45 points 3 weeks ago

Willful violations of the Constitution. Right now, elected officials can brazenly disregard the Constitution and the worst that happens is they are told not to do that again in the future, pretty please.

Anti LGBTQ+ bigotry in general.

This kind of bigotry has led to suicides of LGBTQ+ people and terrorist attacks against their communities. This is beyond "offending" someone.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Bigotry in general. It is easy to not judge a book by its cover as long as you're not an illiterate, lazy-minded fuck.

Having wealth over 1000 times the median family income.

I'd prefer it was simply prevented via policy rather than punished if breached.

Production of cigarettes and tobacco.

As ex smoker who tried to quit so many times during almost two decades - I know how tough this drug can be and that it's wide acceptance as social norm makes it so much worse.

Maybe you shouldn't be chomping at the bit to kidnap people and lock them in cages.

Puttering along in the left lane, at or below the speed limit. The left lane is for passing.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

The left lane is for crime.

Killing animals to eat their flesh. Murder is fucked up, human or not.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

Farming can be ethical. You'd get a lot more agreeing by simply saying, "factory farming".

A good farm should be giving the animals a better life than quite a lot of humans currently get. A statement that should be damning to both sides.

[-] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

I disagree, but i would be happier with better conditions. I still think murder is wrong, and I oppose it, but if you remove the torture aspect I admit you're doing dramatically less harm.

Generally think mandatory minimums are unjust, but political corruption. It's wrong per se but also has downstream negative effects on society.

Alcohol and gambling. The death and suffering these cause is unfathomable. Just within my small social sphere I've encountered numerous people that have had their entire families ripped apart or destroyed by these, particularly alcohol.

[-] Zak@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

Not to diminish the harms of alcohol, but the USA tried that once and it went pretty badly. Prohibition of other drugs has also led to considerable harm. The cure may be worse than the disease here.
