I mean, my advice would just be to get a police force and have mandatory self defense and firearm training for all mentally healthy civilians

"A person trying to do these things will most likely have had violent tendencies before"
there is literally no evidence to support that, plus a society set up such a way would actively attract people willing to exploit it.
"If that doesn't work or takes too much time, that's the only case where physical violence is allowed. "
this will have people too scared of being deported from their home to actually be willing to do said violence in your single exception. A drone with nets will be extremely ineffective in that to house a net large enough to affect a human it would have to be huge meaning it would be extremely expensive to run, plus if the person has a gun (which, even if they didnt smuggle it in part by part, wouldnt be hard build there out of stuff bought there and an island with such rules would be ripe for an organized criminal organization to go in and take over like that)
violence from the citizens wouldnt be effective either because they dont have guns.

if you are asking who gave them participation trophies youll find that it was a small subset of people in that generation who starting doing that while everyone else complained about it.
if you are asking who gave them ANY trophies youll find that such a practice has been going on since trophies could be made and even before that hunters would make trophies out of the less usable parts of kills to show their accomplishments.
-
trophies in general are a good thing. They give someone something to strive for and further something tangible to appreciate after they succeed. Participation trophies however have been shown to make the person receiving it feel worse about losing rather than feel better about losing. An argument can also be made about it cheapening the trophies given to the people who got actual trophies but idk of any studies looking into how the existence of participation trophies affects people that got normal ones.

everything can be simplified down to something like that. Like playing video games? well you are just training your reaction time like everyone else doing anything. Like playing puzzles? well you are just training your critical thinking skills like fucking children for god sake. Like browsing funsub or 4kachow? oh so your hobby is getting the nessesary socialization that a human requires? just like the nessessary eating and breathing and walking and blinking?
literally anything can be broken down to something absurd like that.

so if someone tries to shoot me or attack me i have to either stand there and take it or try to run away rather than trying to defend myself? If someone is commiting a rape no one is allowed to commit violence to help them? is there not a police force since they cant use violence? how do you try a criminal? they can just walk away and you cant stop them because doing so would be violence.
-
if there are exceptions to this then thats just how basically every country in the world works. If not thats just a society run by criminals who no one can legally stop.
-
that sounds exactly like the rules that schools have here in america. No exceptions super strict no fighting rules in which if you get attacked the only way to not get in trouble in by the school is to let yourself get beaten up risking permanent injury in the process because if you defend yourself, even just enough to try to block attacks or push your way to running away you get the same punishment as your attacker.

even if we ignore the evolutionary line, if you dont consider a cassowary or an emu to fit the main criteria of a dinosaur by name alone, that of "terrifying," then i think you might need to meet one in person.

The First Lady isn't an employee of the government right? Meaning no rules have been broken whether this is uncool or not?

everyone went to hades, but there were different areas of hades for different people, one for bad people one for normal people and one for heroes.

just to put a bit of information to this, when people got dragged away they would often take off their masks and scream their name and proclaim that they will not commit suicide so that, should they be killed, it couldnt be covered up by a fake suicide nearly as easily.

@creativedragonbaby
the tl:dr is basically "the culture in which christianity was formed would have found asexuality to be problematic if said asexuality extended past marriage, prevented marriage or prevented the sexing of their spouse for the purpose of baby making. but now its a very mixed bag"

he's fully within his lane and the cyclist with the camera is far enough ahead that even if the one that got hit wasnt there the car is still breaking the law by coming back into the lane at that close to the cyclist, not to mention the fact that both the car and the truck are breaking the law by passing at all as they are in a double line zone.

the only further thing i have to say about that is the thing about money lenders, jesus would likely have still not liked them moneylending, even in the name of the church, because they saw any kind of moneylending, even no interest pay exactly back what you got given, as a waste and bad for society and humanity.

just gonna say, since the reason that homosexuality was considered bad in ancient times was a general air of waste being considered bad and that homosexuality was a waste of "seed and egg" in males and females respectively (which is the same reason that moneylending was considered evil, they considered it making nothing out of nothing and a huge waste of time, not to mention the whole debt thing)
id say chances are they would look at asexuality in a bad light, celibacy is good in that belief set but by the same belief set you are meant to get married and have children by the will of god so an asexual individual such as myself that would prefer to not do the whole sex thing (and even if i did id be dating a girl anyways which is a whole nother can of worms) would probably be considered a problem.

i mean if too many took a stand like that there probably wouldnt be any holocaust survivors freed by allied forces cause they all died before that.
