drawing the line
I would like to be more specific but I'm afraid my attempt would be useless. I feel that in every topic there are good arguments for each side. Each end of the spectrum shines its own light. But, there is an issue that I cant get past right now. That is, that there seems to be many factors that keep these perspectives in an opposing position. To be clear I feel that we need to find where to draw the line. I know it sounds stupid now but let me explain. For example this thread is open for any topic, but I would like to pic one right now that I have talked about recently. Tazers. The argument was about the point at which this level of force is necessary. The state says its okay if the person is out of control, or being violent..etc etc. Although, it does not go on to describe what violent behavior is. So in this case, if judged by the officer, this could mean that raising your voice is an act of violence, and is often described as nutty, erratic behavior, or out of control. Like I said before, I would like to be more specific, but I just dont think it would help. If you dont understand what I'm saying by now then I dont think I could type enough words to put this straight. So for the rest of you its time to move foward.
I feel that there are many topics that this same perspective should be applied to. Such as religion. Personally I think its rediculous, but that shouldnt determine the way that it is measured and interpreted. Basically because that is an opinion, and while I am entitled to it, it should not constitute any organized influence. Which is why I dont believe in religion. Which brings me to my next point. Religion influences the actions, life choices, financial descisions and character foundation of anyone who believes it or follows it. So I believe that it should be interpreted according to fact, as opposed to faith. Not to knock the concept of faith it self, but in todays context of the word its seems to mean ignorant, in that people take beliefs they dont understand, and cant explain and ignore the fact that they dont KNOW what really happened, or what is really true. So to conclude my point, I think we should examine the cold hard facts alone, and then find where to draw the line and define our influence before we base our way of life from it. Especially when it comes to matters of humanity.
I would like to remind you that any topic is open for discussion here so feel free to bring to light new examples to help explain this point so that those who dont may be enlightened. But please remember the point here.
