Anybody who complains about noise in the city needs to move out of the city. Sorry I just don't think this city thing is cut out for you. Just because you paid a silly amount of money for a small apartment doesn't mean you or anyone else gets to own outside. Yeah it sucks that your quiet time is not respected but complaints like that are what suck the soul and culture out of cities.

Reply to Do you find yourself reading more non-fiction books and less fiction as you get older? by disruptivelychill
Yeah I'm the exact opposite. I used to love reading non fiction when I was in school but now I read fiction if I'm doing it for pleasure.

SYG is not meant to combat crime. It's meant to empower citizens to defend themselves. Also, while SYG has a racial bias, I would say the entire justice system has that problem. While I commend compassion I don't think anyone should be compelled to show it to an agressor. Human life has subjective value for some and no one should be compelled to hold it to the highest standard when someone is attacking them.

I'm firmly in the stand your ground camp. Why should you value your assailant's life more than yours? Why should someone have to retreat or forced to deescalate a situation that they did not cause? You can quote statistics at the issue as much as you want but it doesn't change the fact that you should not have to back down from any violent confrontation.
