Also violating their consent.

Every time I make them put their shoes on. Make them do their homework. Eat their vegetables. Be home at a certain time.

Parenting is all about violating consent. Children get input, not veto rights.

I remember and author, possibly Pratchette, decrying the phrase "I don't believe my eyes." Believe them or not, they are how you perceive the world, and you cannot act much in contrary to what they tell you.

Ditto your ears, your senses of touch, smell, taste. Realistically, you can choose which of your senses to prioritize, but you cannot reject their input entirely.

Your reading comprehension needs work.

I have no comment on weather the Korean War was a genocide. I don't know enough about the topic.

Your statement, that I replied to, was "Nothing in the community rule say that the content should be about established facts"

That is what I understand. But that is not meaningful in this case. Speaking purely hypothetically, there is no reason that the US could not take advantage of North Korean aggression as an excuse to commit the genocide that the article accuses them of.

Should we be learning things that aren't true?

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

that is such a small edge case that it’s not necessary to talk about them

Did you manage to overlook this point?

In general, stay out of the ducking way.

And in both cases, missing the point. Categorize based on the chemistry, not the source of the chemical.
