Your question wasn't regarding whether or not I condemn an action, it had more to do with whether something was possible or not.
Happy Birthday.
Will Congress act now?

It certainly was. You rejected the opportunity, which shows you support the principle that a 12 year old girl can have the 'capability of consenting' to engaging in sexual relations with a 50 year old man.
Fortunately for all young girls on your 'plantation', your 'involuntary' government has criminalized that behavior.
Don't do it, Abe, even if she tells you it's ok. It is not ok.

Oh thank you for clarifying, even if it IS your BIRTHDAY and you believe she is capable, I think you shouldn't do it.

How would you have helped MLK get a meal at the diner front counter ?

Not if the proprietor didn't like "color'ds".
Because forcing him to serve a black person is the same as rape and slavery.
Slapery.

Gun owners who have a gun "for protection" only care about their fears, not other people's safety.

I originally got mine as protection against tin cans in a field, does that count?

Tin cans are more dangerous than mountain lions in California. Please be careful.
I advise packing when walking through the canned foods aisle.

The cans are empty, far less dangerous.

If somebody didn't invite you to their birthday party when you were a kid, you weren't that kid who crashed the party anyway were you?

If MLK asked you to come with him to eat at a diner that refused to serve him based on the color of his skin, You would tell him... ?
If you saw MLK drinking out of the white people fountain ahead of you , you would say... ??
If MLK sat next to you in the front of the bus, you would tell him...?
In short how would you have helped MLK fight racism

1) Hey Martin, are you sure you want to give money to bigots?
2) Good for you. I got your back.
3) If he seemed interested in conversation, I'd engage. If he seemed like he just wanted to travel and be left alone, I'd leave him alone.
4) Encourage him to disavow individual and systemic acts of violence which feature offensive force as a "viable" means.

1) Well Martin, I think we should remember that neither of us or any government owns that despicable place of business, that bigot does. Let's spend our money with somebody who will welcome both of us and let the bigot see the error of his ways.
2) If this water is alleged to be owned by everybody, then Martin has a right to drink it. If this water isn't owned by everybody, who does own it ?
3) I'm reluctant to be BFF with anyone until I have the measure of the person.
I'd tell him I'm more interested in "protesting" systemic violence (involuntary government) which creates legislation removing the right of individuals who wish to associate from doing so, or conversely creates legislation which removes the right of some individuals to not associate if they wish to. I'd tell him I wish he could be more peaceful in how he decides to go about things and not force a human interaction on another persons property who didn't want him there.
4) Good question. He got killed anyway didn't he ? Most likely by people associated with government.

Sir you seem like you are for Jim Crow laws. Do you not want to fight against segregation ?

I'm opposed to laws which prevent people who wish to associate from doing so. Conversely I'm opposed to laws which force people to associate if one or both parties prefer not to.
Which part do you disagree with ?
I don't want to fight anybody, I mean a big guy like me could hurt little mouth pieces like the ones in the "pedo pack" and I wouldn't want to make them cry.

So you don't really believe that open to the public should mean just that ? You believe a business can be a open to the public restaurant but refuse to service females, gays. and Sasquatch ? What about a hospital that refuses blacks and Mexicans. A public school that refuses whites kids ? You down with that shit

I think the problem you haven't addressed is if neither you or I have any right to force anybody to associate with us (we don't) , how could a group of people, none of whom have that right individually either, gain that right simply by calling themselves government ?
That seems as though you are saying a sum of zeroes can create a positive number, which of course is impossible.
Public schools are funded via involuntary funds, therefore they endorse bullying tactics. I have a problem with that, why don't you ?
Many (nearly all of them) hospitals employ people who use government to forcibly prevent free market competition and they often align themselves with big pharma to the detriment of other innovations. Of course if a hospital had racist policies you should be free to use somebody else, except if you did and they weren't government approved, you could be harmed or the person seeking to help you could be harmed. Licensure, preventing innovation since...ever.
