Agree with you on IP and I agree it seems to be sadly a minority opinion.

Death penalty is wrong. Also vengeance prison is wrong, VERY unpopular opinions. I can't tell you how many people will full on yell at you if you say this in public. I think rehab prison is what should happen for any prisoner that isn't in for murder one or rape, domestic abuse. Financial crimes? House arrest, monitored assets, no access to exploitable systems. Property crime? Make sure they have a legitimate job, parole, house arrest if serious, garnished wages. We could have the vast majority of prisoners on parole or house arrest and in treatment, or jobs programs and out prison population would be at a normal percentage compared to the rest of the world.

People should be jailed for violating a DNR order.

Have you seen them violated often?

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

A few times. It's usually a close family member forcing them to be revived.

I was going to say "Copyright is theft" but I see that's basically OPs take, so I'll settle for 'same'.

  • The illusion that we are "rational" has done more damage than good, and if we were to just embrace that emotions are not just real, but a stronger influence on people's behaviour (and therefore reality) than any facts, we might start getting somewhere as a species.
