re: EU Parliament chants “Send them back” after migrant deportation vote passes
Posted by stuntman on 6/18/26 at 9:19 pm to Upperdecker
It's the EU. I don't believe them. Not for a single second.

They've done plenty of surveys on prisoners about this. They just do not target people who they believe have guns. Imagine if they believed everyone had a gun. Not saying crimes wouldn't still happen, but it would massively curtail it.
I 100% agree w/ you that culture matters a ton. I'm just saying that if individual rights and property rights (just an extension of individual rights) are protected through overwhelming force, people, regardless of culture, will get the picture in a hurry.
Societies don't suffer because they get freer. They suffer when government continues to stomp on more and more of their rights.

Don't know if you've ever read "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat, but he had an amazing way of describing the Natural Law and the consequences of abandoning those principles. It's only like 50 pages long, but every page was an epiphany when I read it.
He understood economics incredibly well, human nature, and was basically Thomas Sowell 100 years before Thomas Sowell because of how easily he broke down supposedly complex issues, like the law itself.
Anyway, I don't think it's by random chance that societies all over the planet have improved dramatically when they have adopted principles largely based on the principles of Natural Law. Never perfect, obviously, but the more individual and their property rights are secured, the better off those societies become. Getting back the gun issue, if everyone was allowed to protect their property, their lives, their family and friends lives w/ lethal, overwhelming force, I truly believe we'd have a much more peaceful, considerate, and charitable society.

Thanks for the reply, cubbies.
Right. An innate understanding that you own yourself, that you have a right to protect your life.
But, I won't drag us down a philosophical hole here, just wanted to get your take.

Jordan Peterson, who I do like, was asked about that and crashed out on stage, metaphorically speaking. Didn't even address the guy's question.
Do you think the idea that you own yourself is made up?

Don't know what you posted, but to clear up any ambiguity on my part, from your previous post about thinking that everyone should have a right to own a gun/arms, to me that shows you have a fundamental understanding of the concept of the Natural Law, not just a passing interest in it.
Anytime I see that, it puts a smile on my face

This isn't a gotcha or anything. I am working out what my take is and right now I think there shouldn't be any restrictions.

But, to give the guy his props, he's not doing Aikido, and he kind of understands the importance of arm drags.

Here's my conspiracy theory; Politicians are the ultimate control freaks, especially Leftists. I think those at the top know that a low IQ, dependent society, low trust society just means it's much, much easier for them to wield control over that society, no matter where that society is. Just a hunch, but seems to fit.

Question: If the "deal" Trump has cut with Iran is so great why not publish it for the American people to view.
I get this completely and have been a critic of Trump's actions in Iran since last summer. But, I'm just gonna wait to see what's official. No use in teeing off on Trump right now when we don't know the details...even though I'm a big skeptic.

The law has been criticized by the opposition and human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken on behavior that has not been deemed criminal.
Ahahaaha, frick 'em.
These retarded megalomaniacs act as if living in a foreign country is some kind of "human right". It isn't.
Come to think of it, I'd love to see a vote (these people believe in "democracy" so much, so let's really put it to the test) where anyone who has a past of advocating for these frickers to stay has to take them into their own home for a minimum of 3 years. We'll see how much they actually "care" about these 3rd world shitstains.

If you're in the UK, immigration attorneys make most of this possible.
