Abraham Lincoln thought black people should not marry whites. I guess we should have let the slavers win because we don't want to vote for the lesser evil. The slaves will just have to suffer — I can't have voting for the lesser evil on my conscience.

Switzerland requires a permit to own a gun. This permit is also required to own daggers. This permit requires a clean criminal record and no mental health problems. Any guns acquired with this permit must be registered with the canton. Automatic firearms and tasers are banned.

You are not allowed to carry a weapon in public unless you have a separate permit that is issued sparingly.

I'm responding to the claim that Americans did nothing. It might be the case that there is illegal government surveillance going on today, but there is no evidence for that in any leaks, particularly not Snowden's. If there is illegal government surveillance that we learn about later, the takeaway from the Snowden saga is that Americans will take action to shut it down.

Passport revocation means nothing in this case. He left Hong Kong after his passport was revoked because China didn't want him. He couldn't leave Russia because Putin wanted him.

He was specific in what he released. He released a list of compromised Chinese systems in order to try to gain asylum in Hong Kong, which is the first place he went to. China kicked him out of the country, so he had to change plans.

It was revoked before he left China. https://apnews.com/general-news-587786e6e63b4dc2b70c471606d7f584

That didn't stop China from ignoring his asylum request following his release of documentation of hacked Chinese systems and kicking him out of the country because whether you have a valid passport doesn't matter for geopolitical issues. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1259508/edward-snowden-us-government-has-been-hacking-hong-kong-and-china

Russia was under no obligation to keep Snowden instead of letting him continue to Ecuador. Putin just wanted to use him as a bargaining chip with the U.S., but the U.S. understood that all his documents were already public, so Putin hasn't been able to play that card well yet.

And anybody who disparages Putin gets poisoned. It's such a wonderful system, right?

They literally sued the U.S. government and shut down the only program that was collecting Americans' data. https://www.cohenandwolf.com/publication-nsa-phone-metada

It is about California. The comment you replied to was about California. My comments replying to you have been about California. That original comment you replied to and my own comments have said that California's law is reasonable. You keep saying it isn't, but you have yet to present any reason why.

Once again, that post is about age verification, so it doesn't apply to the California law. If there are no documents or pictures stored for age verification, there is nothing to breach.
