@Sobunan @ax_angelo as companies don't want any potential of liability etc. that do the most damage.
Here's a recent case in China though.

@Sobunan @ax_angelo Technically; no. By a lawyers definition.
There are though.
However the function of spurious legal cases is to drag people through courts so as to force settlement as noone wants a protracted case hanging over them for years.
It's the court costs, losing your job

A video just appeared of someone saving a life with CPR on a beach in Thailand, while back home people are worried about blame instead of action 🙏

@Sobunan @ax_angelo Civil courts baby! 🫠
Logic has very little to do with law sadly.
Liability and who pays is where they are interested and if they can fob the cost of anything off onto someone else they will.
Divorce courts are pretty similar, though there does seem to be a few finally changing.
English
@A_W_Software @ax_angelo I mean you can get sued, but if you are held liable after is what's important right?
And i see no logical world where the guy would be held accountable for false crimes, when there is clear evidence against her claim.
English
@Sobunan @ax_angelo I'm using past tense because it was about 5 years ago I did a deep dive on the topic, so there might have been some improvements in the laws, but the very fact these cases exist at all is ridiculous.
There's plenty all over the place btw, just cited China because it was blatant.
English
@Sobunan @ax_angelo I'm afraid your hope would be wrong. 😐
There's 100s of cases around the world of people getting sued for such actions.
In China for instance it got so bad nobody would pick up old men/women fallen in the road because there was a liability scam that was popular.

@Dublinmarti @griptmedia Is there? . . .
Which comment is "nasty and racist"?

@griptmedia Ah now, there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Some of his comments were downright nasty and racist. On the plus side, he can reapply again to teach after two years!

@TheColossis @chairgalaxy7 @yvessirae Me, no.
You have provided ample evidence of it yourself.
You're even repeating yourself like a machine stuck in an error loop.
I already gave you a parallel law which further clarifies.
I've given a real world account.
And still you repeat; stuck in your loop.
Retarded.

@A_W_Software @chairgalaxy7 @yvessirae Sorry, you haven't provided any evidence to support that assertion

In 1960s Italy, if a woman was raped, her 'honor' was considered damaged. And guess what? The rapist could walk free... if he married her.
She was raped... and everyone told her to MARRY her rapist. But she became the first woman in Italy to say... No.
Franca was just 17.
She had a whole life ahead But her former fiancé, Filippo Melodia, kidnapped her... held. her for 8 days... and raped her.
When she returned, society whispered Just marry him... it will restore your honor.
Even the law said this marriage would erase his crime. But Franca did something no girl had ever dared...
She looked at her family, at the court, at the whole country and said:
I will NOT marry my rapist.
Her case went to trial.
She faced threats, insults, pressure from the whole town... But she didn't break.
She WON. Filippo was sentenced to prison.
And years later this law was abolished. All because one girl chose courage over silence.

@TheColossis @chairgalaxy7 @yvessirae You do realise that the Dinah case is precisely that described in that law, right?
It's a case of sex outside marriage in reality.
The rape or seizing is that it is done without permission or asking for her hand in marriage.
The passage even calls him honourable.
English
English
@TheColossis @chairgalaxy7 @yvessirae A bit of a detour, but a relevant contextual passage is of Shechem and Dinah.
Some translations go heavy on the rape language, but read in context it's pretty obvious this isn't actual rape of Dinah, but a rape of the "family".
See verse 7; the harsh language becomes factual.
English
English
@TheColossis @yvessirae The main topic is these two scriptures.
Both are practically identical except for the father's refusal in one and the other; bride price still is to be paid and the conditions of the marriage being to never divorce.
English
@A_W_Software @yvessirae The term isn't used at all.
The description is of rape.
You're not getting out of this on semantics, lying twat

@iconawrites Why do all that?

I am Italian. I have been living in the UK for many years, but I still swear only in Italian. The British swear like innocent teens who’ve just discovered sex, whereas even the mildest Italian insult will make the receiving person feel humiliated for existing and having heard it.
Burak 🏺🏛@bvrakvs
Japanese swear words are so childish "pig", "shit", "idiot", "die"... compared to the ruthless Mediterranean style that attacks at sexuality, honor, and the very existence of your entire family, nation, and God. Rarely does one hit you like a piece of genius literature.

@MemoryMedieval To clarify, Ghengis Khan was a murderer, a bandit and a racketeer, Im just saying that he didn't do anything different than anyone else wouldn't have done in his place at the time if they could. The human race has always been savage.

My comments: "Yeah well he slaughtered 4,500 Saxons once.."

My comments: "Yeah but trade routes.."
Memory Medieval@MemoryMedieval
History is funny. Genghis Khan is one of the worst (if not the worst) mass-murderers in history. But the same people handwaving away this incredible slaughter because (incidentally) trade improved would try to ruin my life if I had a similarly framed argument/opinion about Hitler. Is modern scholarship going to move on from their wholly negative views on Hitler too? Does this say something about human nature? Any villainy can be rehabilitated with enough time? I find the casual way people both dismiss the great slaughter of the medieval Mongols and lionize them as great instruments of civilization (or worse, Genghis as a great man of history) to be a very strange contrast with more modern conflicts and the way we think about them (and the people involved) today. Maybe all that matters right now is winning? And with enough time, "academics will move on from any wholly negative view" and vindicate you in the end?
English
@TheColossis @yvessirae Nope. The term rape is used for any sex outside marriage.
The conditions of whether it was consensual, or adulterous such as sleeping with another's wife, or by forcefully kidnapping and sexually assaulted are clearly defined differently.
Simply do a word search.
English
@A_W_Software @yvessirae Nope.
Rape. The punishment was to reward the rapist with marriage to his victim and make a payment to the father.
Rape was nothing more than a property crime.
English
@TheColossis @yvessirae Pity they couldn't read.
The bible doesn't say that.
What it refers to is premarital sex and enforcing the man to marry a woman who has been dishonoured and to not be able to divorce her due to said dishonour.
In rape (modern definition) cases it was death to the dude.
English
@yvessirae Sounds like they took their laws straight from the bible.
English
@cupcake7166 @Amandasmylife Yes, but it was clearly insufficient and there was several reasons for this.
Land grabs orchestrated by both Lordships being the British and Irish lords and by Catholic authorities taking land in exchange for "keep".
Clearly it dispossessed people and forced them to immigrate.
English
@Amandasmylife There’s a lot of lies to this, the British people did help the Irish through the famine but you never hear about that. Also did you know we took religion to your country because St Patrick was actually British. But there’s no record of what part of Britain Patrick came from.
English
English
@A_W_Software @LucineVBK @DeiGratia64 Bishops had/have their own agency. There was probably no objection to his desire to evangelize Ireland. Evangelization is the mission of the Catholic Church. It’s why we are everywhere. Universal.
English
It’s been an educational day. I’ve learned from various sources on X, all quite learned, that Saint Patrick was not Catholic, as I had always believed, but was, in fact, a Calvinist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, nondenominational. Who knew?
English
@LindaMoll43492 @LucineVBK @DeiGratia64 I dunno man.
You should read Patrick's two letters, they are pretty short, but he clearly is defending himself from claims of being uncommisioned and illegitimacy in his first.
His second is a complaint about other Christians attacking his congregation and enslaving them.
English
@LindaMoll43492 @LucineVBK @DeiGratia64 If that's true, why is his letter clearly arguing that noone appointed him and that he did what he did because he was driven by his vision?
Seems a little strange to make such an argument if you were appointed by the Church?
English
@LucineVBK @DeiGratia64 There was a pope in Rome at the time of Patrick. He was a Bishop aligned with the Catholic Church.

@thespyer154751 @fleurmeston You literally answered your own question mate...
It's the King Saul solution.
Saul to his attendant: "Kill me"
Attendant: "No"
Saul: 'Fine then, I'll do it myself'
And that is not the "freedom" in question....it's the attendant being forced to do it thats in question here.

@fleurmeston If people are in so much pain they will end their own lives anyway .Who are we to deny them freedom if they are suffering every minute of every day. You have got experience it to understand it.
