No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
This is why people don't trust liberals
Because they point out facts? Or do you really think there is an unrestricted right?
That is what the idea of human rights liberals profess to believe in necessitates, yes.
What those rights are, exactly, might be debatable, such as the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion, but you do believe in human rights, don't you?
Edit: that's a "No" I take it.
Thus, the lack of trust, and continued comments on what happens when liberals get scratched.
Can you give a concrete example so we can understand?
A concrete example of what?
Of course I believe in human rights, but I also think there are limits to it. And you didn't answer my question, what right do you believe should be unrestricted?
Freedom from religion. The right to clean food and water. The right to self defense. The right to attempt escape from imprisonment. The right to a fair trial. The right to life, liberty, and security of person. The right of the abolition of slavery in all forms.
Feel free to argue that last one, btw, liberals love to carve out exceptions to it.
Not one of those do liberals have anything against -- and in fact, much of which is championed by liberals. You are either trolling or are completely and utterly deluded with some kind of brainwash that makes you think you're somehow not a liberal.
Every single conservative I know and have heard/read is quite against freedom from religion, quite against the right to clean food and water, quite for imprisonment of criminals even in a case as small as owning a marijuana plant, are quite happy to scowl at what they consider unfair trials (see: every conservative talking head about Trump's trials), and are quite happy to "own the libtards" by depriving them of life, liberty, and security.
So, maybe you should take a long hard look at what it is you really believe in, because you're more liberal than you think.
Dude thinks the two types of people on Lemmy are liberals and conservatives 🤣
You’re right, clearly there are also morons. And if it wasn’t inferred, since you seem quite clueless, I mean you.
Oh no, someone on the Internet who doesn't know anything is trying to insult me
If only there was some way I never have to see their worthless opinions again
You're not entitled to be free from people practicing their religion near you, e.g. you don't have the right to not have churches in your block
You can't invade someone's property to get food and water.
A juri needs to agree self defense was required, you can't kill someone because you thought he was going to do something to you without evidence of it.
That's not a right most countries even recognize, in fact it is a crime on most countries to attempt to escape imprisonment, even if you are wrongfully detained by the state.
Fair is very relative, people get injustly put away constantly, just as much as guilty people are not. Even if we had 100% certainty on the conviction, people would disagree on the penalty, to some it's not fair that a person who killed others gets to keep living, while to others it's unfair that someone should be sentenced to death regardless of their crime. While I believe that this is the hardest one to answer of your points it is so because the word fair is very subjective, what if my idea of a fair trial is so different from yours that we can never conciliate both? Whose idea of fair trial is the one that gets implemented? Certainly the other will believe the trial was not fair.
Unless you try to kill someone and he defends himself
Unless you commit a crime
Again, unless you threaten someone
That's another wording for freedom, by several metrics, prisoners are slaves.
None of those are unrestricted, which is what the original person said.
