I wonder if Hawaii also does hang gliding for tourists too. That's sort of a tourist-y thing and the country has enough elevation variation for it to be worth while. I would do that too.
Yeah, I think they do. I'd like that. I have no idea what's being planned for us, though. I've never been on a trip that I didn't plan other than work trips so I'm kind of uncomfortable with it.

The Japan trip I did in high school was planned through an educational tours agency so pretty much every day had something scheduled. That is probably still a different kind of flavour as to what's being planned for you though.

Well the right to free speech encompasses hate speech in America so they're more or less obligated to, unfortunately.

>>186381 I think it's a good thing that the government can't stop people from saying things if they want to. Private institutions have no obligation to allow it on their premises, though, which is good.

>>186386 Considering that blanket statement isolated by itself, I don't agree that it's a good thing. I don't think the government has a necessity to deny access to polite discussion of sensitive topics for anyone--minority or otherwise. But there is a point where the tone of conversation leaves polite discussion and serves no purpose than to bring in emotional sway to the dialogue. And I don't take issue with that being denied by law.

FormerRei@mobile

we are emotional creatures about 40% of humans naturally use emotion in their decision making while about 40% does not

Maria
>>186397 If their argument is nothing but an emotional appeal, point it out. Imagine debating a war with someone who lost family to it and telling them not to get emotional. Emotions are the end product of all policy resolutions. If you aren't prepared to tell the emotional to suck it up then you lack conviction
Anno
>>186394 Any law shapes how the populace of the country thinks. It's absurd to limit that sort of connection to only laws prohibiting what can be said.
If you really don't want the government to control the minds of the people you have to remove all laws entirely.
Laws don't shape the way people think in general in the same way that policing language does.
It's illegal to kill people, but people still do it. But if the very idea of killing is something that never is allowed to be transmitted in any form, it's not really going to happen very often. Well, killing is a bad example, I guess, but I think my point is clear.
Normal laws don't stop people from having ideas. When you control ideas, the people are no longer free.
FormerRei@mobile
>>186399 I'm completely prepared to tell the emotional to suck it up.
Maria
>>186404 good, then you can do that instead of telling them they aren't allowed to say something because it's emotional and not polite
Anno
>>186403 In countries that do actually have less broad laws on speech, people still use speech that lays outside the confines of the laws anyway. It's about as effective as shaping people as any other kind of law.
e.g. china The things you're not allowed to say generally aren't said.
The majority of countries with laws like that (e.g. germany) are still in their first generation. Right now, you can get your house raised in Germany for saying something mean on Facebook. If that keeps happening, those mean things won't be things people say ever in a generation or two and eventually even those thoughts will start to die out, with nobody to transmit them. People will live in fear of having ideas.
Controlling speech is super dangerous because of >>186395 Society can't evolve if people don't have new ideas.

Well, even so. Swimming by yourself in the dark has the potential to be very dangerous.
That was a nice swim. It was short though, because my shoulder is still sore from swimming yesterday. Can't exercise on sore muscles. Once I stopped swimming, I got cold, so I got out. Swimming at night feels luxorious though.

Well if that's the case then Rika doesn't have to worry about the eventual falling for making a GW character since she has a gold bar and I'm a lazy bones
In GBF, you have an obligation to play because in order to do half the game, you need to have friends and a guild. If you don't take it seriously, you're a drain on your guild and hold your friends back. It's an obligation because you can't let your guild down.
I don't have friends or a guild and I'm lazily playing granbueee
Although I haven't played it much.
I can understand MMOs, I hate that I can't do dungeons or anything fancy without a guild or team. I can't do fractals alone in GW2 that sucks. I don't want to make friends and don't want to socialise with me! games that force you out of singleplayer are gay.
Yeah. I really don't like stuff like that. Co-op can be fun with friends you already have, but when you meet other players that you want to keep teaming up with, it becomes an obligation to play because you rely on each other and if you don't keep showing up, you'll lose that contact.
Like 90% of that is lost on me. The story events almost never keep my attention.
It's just like >talk about nothing for 5 minutes >fight that you just hit attack once for >talk about nothing for 5 minutes with a 1 minute thing related to the story
