Do you mean FALSELY yelling fire in a crowded theater? I'm not aware that it is illegal to install fire alarms in theaters, but pulling one if there isn't a fire is frowned upon.

I don't believe that there should be any punishment for telling the truth, yes.

My point was only that the phrase is used widely in the United States.

I don't see any problem with law enforcement in the UK not wanting to use it.

In July, the force’s chief, Mark Rowley, banned officers from wearing the “thin blue line” badge saying that in the US an equivalent symbol had been used by “hard-right groups”.

The hard-right group known as "law enforcement".

Biden’s reaction was far better than those of certain toddlers in the GOP, who immediately — and without attribution or any facts to back it up — found ways to link Biden to the actions of Hamas.

This is a bizarre article.

The IRS has said it won't increase audits on households earning less than $400,000 annually.

Trust but verify. MEE looks fine to me now, but you can find wackos anywhere.

On 20 October 2022, MEE cut ties with Palestinian journalist Shatha Hammad after it was discovered that she made a Facebook post in 2014 which praised Adolf Hitler for "sharing the same ideology" and the Holocaust. The Thomson Reuters Foundation had withdrawn a 2022 Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism from her, after the discovery, on 18 October.

EU officials confirmed to TechCrunch that an investigation has not been taken at this point. Clearly, though, yesterday’s development (and the pace at which regulators are moving) is a strong indication of the bloc’s direction of travel.

This report was substantially revised to clarify a number of aspects, including — most saliently — that the EU has sent a formal request for information to X at this point. This could prefigure a formal announcement of an investigation but is not, yet, that formal technical step. We also clarified the scale of financial penalties possible under the DSA if a breach is confirmed; and added details of the regulation’s crisis response mechanism. We also fixed an error in the original report which referred to Interpol, rather than Europol.

I'm assuming that the Dems won't run Hillary again. If that happens, all bets are off.

Well, he's lost an election since 2016 and as he says, "nobody likes a loser".

I’m concerned you seem to imply here that we require some abstract deity to determine what our moral guidelines should be.

No. That was not my intention. I'm trying to better understand where and why you (or anyone) think religion is holding us back and how we can move forward.

What a total bullshit argument.

It isn't an argument or a rhetorical question.
