1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

It should be my choice when and how I wish to end my life and exercise my bodily autonomy. I don’t wish to live like a vegetable just because some Bishop or Sadhu or Maulana says so. Or because some commie thinks that assisted dying somehow validates the Marxist view that one must be economically productive to live in a capitalist society. Rather, true capitalism means financial liberty and I should have the liberty to spend on assisted suicide rather than on a lifetime of having painful tubes inserted in my body, or spoonfed on a wheelchair with no cognition (in the case of Alzheimer’s).
Gawd this country needs libertarianism on steroids and we need to start with the education system!
