Yeah, I've heard that one before too. It's unfortunately the fame type of people that came over on the weekend to party in Amsterdam. The one benefit ...
Well, we could put something like that to a vote. I'm not married to a number, 2 is what I'm used to as a lawyer and if life and death situation can b...
Then at least with regard to the Grundnorm we're in agreement. I hated it already in my first year of law school. Hart always made the most sense, for...
Yeah, I have that solution in my history but I no longer understand why this gives me the correct points. If I ignore 1.5 for now I can solve at least...
Take the base line, extend it to the left with the length of the diagonal, extend it to the right with the vertical length, divide that total length b...
That's a bit of an "open door" as we say in Dutch. Dancing could be a source of law based on such a description. I was hoping to go a bit deeper than ...
Not for me thanks. I remember that if you don't really understand why a solution works you'll get stuck again at a later point. So if someone explains...
Do you have links in English to those cases against inditex and zara? Could be a blueprint for more. In an ideal world, we would be raising tariffs. N...
I got stuck regularly in this game and never finished it. I did complete that one about 2 years ago and just started it again and I'm stuck in level 2...
So I've just written to an electronics review site to start including information about sourcing of materials and start taking human rights abuses int...
Does anything change because we discussed it here? I'm discussing it because I think it's interesting and I'm in a good mood which means I'm more open...
Report. Report. Report. I have a lower tolerance for low quality posters in certain areas than other moderators, which means I often don't propose a p...
Mainly this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_norm Hanover and I have a long-standing disagreement about whether, for instance, international law i...
What are you trying to accomplish? That I'll suddenly change my behaviour because some internet random says I'm a coward and don't have integrity? Wha...
The reason for banning has previously been given by Baden. He's previously been discussed by moderators for several reasons, given the benefit of the ...
We're generally lax with moderating swearing and name calling because this is the internet after all and if it's accompanied with decent philosophy, w...
It is a theory but it's not recognised as such in analytical jurisprudence. The closest to it would probably be legal positivism which suffers from "t...
I reject procedural requirements because you end up with circular reasoning. Procedural laws are after all laws themselves, so you end up with: the la...
We should get @"Tobias" in here as well. :smile: I'm not convinced I'm arguing for higher laws or principles and I'm not sure what I said that makes y...
I think there's a fundamental difference then, which was exactly the reason I raised the example of inability to enforce first. A more extreme example...
I thought vaccination did lower spread as well, since not everybody gets sick and asymptomatic infection happens but also at a lower rate than symptom...
True. The problem with politics is that they are too often a zero sum game and people take positions instead of enter interest based negotiations. The...
Of course there's a difference. I was responding to the idea that enforcement is a criteria between whether something is the law or isn't. I guess we ...
I know this but that doesn't mean it wasn't illegal by international law standards, which, by the way, the US tried to underline again by pretending S...
If you agree by treaty that your won't go to war except in self defence or with UN security counsel approval then not abiding by those rules makes the...
No, you haven't addressed this, you've only demonstrated you don't know how international law works. When you sign a treaty it's pacta sunt servanda. ...
As I said, this is a retarded argument on par with climate change denialism. The US has signed the UN Charter and thereby willingly submitted to those...
This is first and foremost a red herring, whatever we can say about Saddam has no bearing on the fact the war in Iraq was illegal and started on a lie...
I'll remind you that in my first post I already referred to the multi national force, so I'm quite aware. Are you referring to the token forces from A...
Which 35 countries? Those that were part of the multi-national force? No countries in the region were part of that. And I'd argue that 35 countries di...
I think it's perfectly fine to come to that decision by yourself for yourself. What I reject is judging others for making different decisions in such ...
What was Arendt's argument that such a person has moral agency? Because I don't see it. You take someone's freedom, then you give him two shitty choic...
you have a weird idea of morality. Should I care about redeeming qualities of Rumsfeld in his personal life when I have no personal relationship with ...
But don't you think that's weird? So ok to celebrate and remember a good person's life but not ok to piss on the memory of someone because he was an a...
