    That's what I assumed he meant, but they're really not.

    My point was that the state can do all sorts of things that you and I can't, so them killing people isn't the same as anyone doing it.

    The existence of the state itself doesn't require consent. If you're in charge and can remain in charge, you're in charge.

    That's what I mean. He couldn't maintain his claim to the monopoly on violence, but others could, and they did so without having to ask anybody for their consent.

    Unless we decend into Communism / Fascism, Consent withdrawal results in death (usually figurative). Governments may do unpopular things, but they can't just do what they want because they are in power.

    At this point I realise I am arguing History with a Published History Author and wish to withdraw. I do so without consent. Good day.

    History debate always dissolves into philosophy and ethics at which point a historian has nothing better to offer than a layman. Unless he’s Tony Judt

    Unless you exist purely to summarize, any social science is constructed upon pre-existing notions of fairness and right and wrong, which are independent of your intelligence or education.

    'I'm gay and I have no gender and that's fine'
    It might well be "fine", but I don't really see how it's actually possible? I'm honestly not trying to be an arsehole in the slightest here either. Surely you can't, by definition, identify as gay without first identifying as a specific gender?

    Unless they mean they're only attracted to other people who also don't have a gender?

    (It?) could be a biological female who fancies other biological females but doesn't subscribe to being a girl/woman?

    I'm not going to click on the video as this stuff bores me to death, but that would seem faintly logical.

    Saw a man on a train wearing an “I am non binary” badge.

    Can someone explain this to me? It’s a foreign concept to me, but that’s more on me being sheltered rather than dismissive.

    It just means they don't identify as male or female. Or they sometimes identify as male and sometimes as female.

    It's rooted in the idea that sex (what you have between your legs) and gender are separate things. Maybe you have a willy but want to wear skirts and lipstick, maybe you don't but want to run the 200m for South Africa.

    The ones with urinals are for men no matter how PC they name them. I couldn't see the type in a pub anyway though, 'event playground' would be more their scene.

    If you can order things anonymously, presumably without paying for them (as how would that be anonymous, are you paying in BitCoin?), does that mean you can order 12 fish and chips to random tables just for the lols?

    Yeah. One of my old work mates posts his table number on Facebook and his banterous m8's send him 'random' stuff. A bowl of peas, a racist banana, take your pick. They were lolling themselves stupid over someone sending him an ALCOHOL FREE cider a little while back.

    "I don't even like cider!!!!" He said, and hilarity was had by all.

    Obviously a dick move but is sending a banana to a black person’s table really “racist abuse”? It’s like calling some creep who keeps trying to hit on a girl at a party a sexual abuse perpetrator
