Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

That's a conscious choice people are capable of making in that scenario. If you don't want to struggle, you just breath normally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] snooggums@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) That’s a conscious choice people are capable of making in that scenario.

That's what you are saying right, that they suffered because they didn't choose to just roll over and die? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago yeah, pretty much. The same exact decision you make when you get born into society and are forced to integrate, otherwise be ostracized. I don't make the rules. permalink fedilink source parent
