The Yes Campaign have turned into nothing more than militant nationalists.
I hope they get a No vote by a margin of 1pc and the British police get to crack some rioting, jingoistic skulls.
Oi m8 r u mad?
No, just British.

By military personnel, they don't mean combat soldiers. The military is multi-purposeful you know, just look at Haiti during their disaster.

I liked Fayetteville when I visited.
I cannot imagine why.
I all around enjoyed North Carolina as a state. I'm a stickler for Southern culture.
But Fayetteville has no culture
America has no culture.

Really old, but worth mentioning.An amateur video of a man being arrested while drinking an iced tea in a North Carolina parking lot kicked up a controversy after it went viral online, notching over a million views.
Posted to YouTube on April 29, the video shows Christopher Beatty, who also goes by his hip-hop moniker, Xstrav (short for Xtravagant), drinking an Arizona Iced Tea with his friend Tino Brown in the parking lot of a Fayetteville liquor store. They are approached by a man in plain clothes who says he is a police officer but does not produce a badge.
Later identified by the Fayetteville Observer as Cumberland County Alcoholic Beverage Control Law Enforcement officer Rick Libero, the man then asks Beatty if his iced tea contains alcohol. Beatty, who is black, tells him it does not, and the officer, who is white, tells Beatty to give him the can. Beatty refuses, and the officer tells him: "Leave the property. You have five seconds to leave."
When Beatty refuses to leave (in the video's description, Brown explains the two men were about to enter the liquor store to make a purchase), the officer pushes Beatty against the car and tells him to put his hands behind his back. When Beatty resists being handcuffed, the officer tackles him and handcuffs him on the parking lot's blacktop.
A second video, also with over a million views, shows Beatty being placed in the back seat of a Fayetteville Police car.
"The way Mr. Beatty carried the beverage appeared suspicious," Libero said, according to court records, the Observer notes.
Although the Cumberland County Alcoholic Beverage Control did not return a request for comment, the agency told local CBS affiliate WBWT-TV that Beatty is charged with trespassing, resisting arrest and delaying and obstructing a law enforcement officer.

]You told me once that you wouldn't the world to be in chaos. Do you not remember?
I wouldn't mind if the world were to be in chaos? Well, I wouldn't. I just don't actively hope for it. I do enjoy the order civil society affords me.

You do too. Just saying.

Proof? As previously stated, the burden of proof isn't on me. Sorry.
So you can just make statements such as, there is no magic in the universe, without providing proof? Lol ok brotha.
Yes. It's like asking an atheist for proof that God doesn't exist. Not only is that not the atheist's position but, nonetheless, you can't really prove negative claims. The onus lies on the person making the positive, or active, claim; e.g. "magic exists".

And I mean the movement as a whole, not just the social justice, cultural appropriation, anti-cisgender scum warriors.
I'm sympathetic to the idea of social justice, but not to the movement itself.

The American legal definition of murder involves premeditation.
I thought it was just malicious aforethought? I can't speak for America, but I believe over here that murder is split into categories in which pre-meditation is and isn't a factor. Like, a man stabbing another in the head with a screwdriver because he cut him off in traffic is murder. But so is luring a man to your house, tying him down and cutting his throat. The latter is the one which is pre-meditated, however.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and just say the social justice "movement", as a whole, isn't particularly agreeable.
It really ought to be a non-movement, like atheism.
What exactly is your definition of social justice?
The ability for individuals to have the freedom to pursue their potential, free from the coercion of both other agents and abstract issues, and to get what they deserve from society.
And I'm assuming you don't agree with the last bit of that? Or what is it you don't find agreeable?
No, not at all. Society should provide a minimum standard of living for citizens. The problem is how you define what society owes to the individual, at what point society is going too far against the "better" for the benefit of the "worse", and the fact that it has been turned into an ideology instead of a philosophy. Hence my condemnation of it as a movement. It's like conservatism or atheism "plus". Both perfectly respectable philosophies which have been picked up and turned into unbending, un-malleable ideologies.

Do you just read Wikipedia articles all day?
Pretty much.
Do you use the references that each wiki article has and cross reference with other sources?
If I'm invested in the issue, sure. I usually just check to see if their sources are a dead link whenever I read something mildly interesting, though. You'd be surprised, quite a few often are.
