When sexual harassment was defined as using authority to coerce sex or, not as bad but still objectionable, providing preferential treatment in return for sex, this was measurable, definable, and objectively provable, and therefore made good law.
Now sexual harassment is loosely defined as “whatever makes someone uncomfortable”, which is absolutely subjective, not measurable, impossible to prove (or disprove) and so very bad law.

You are in trouble and you don’t even know it.

By their very nature, opinions are always subjective. Only facts are objective.

Don’t worry, dear, from your looks, you’ll always get the benefit of the doubt.

That sign compliments of Barr and the GOP

I’m guessing that “this point” is subjective as well.

I’d take a right turn at the end of the walkway and leave the sign behind me

But aren’t “hate crimes” subjective?

You mean like the Mayor of Portland and his “hands off” orders to Portland PD about terrorist group Antifa?

Not to worry, you are in the “privileged” demographic.

That’s what happens when respect for self, others, and the law is no longer taught. Social decline into anarchy is tough.

Yes, if you are a Conservative, “Christian”, Rich, Straight, White, Anglo-Saxon Male in America, you can get away with darn near ANYTHING!

I thought the sign was talking about the Mods at GoComics.

Ed is dressed for success in a style from an earlier time. Muriel has the right idea: dress for comfort and have a nice hot cup of coffee handy.

Well, no…“hav[ing] a nice day” isn’t a law. Hasn’t been for several years now…

“Laws are subjectively enforced beyond this point.”
On what do they predicate that conclusion?

A good example is sexual harassment law.
When sexual harassment was defined as using authority to coerce sex or, not as bad but still objectionable, providing preferential treatment in return for sex, this was measurable, definable, and objectively provable, and therefore made good law.
Now sexual harassment is loosely defined as “whatever makes someone uncomfortable”, which is absolutely subjective, not measurable, impossible to prove (or disprove) and so very bad law.

The sign is especially true for people of color or look like an immigrant, legal or otherwise.

Wow! All the Easter Eggs! The lines on the curb (no spoilers), and the obvious images in the neighbor’s windows!
Have a nice day, subjectively speaking.

Wow, good cartoon. No matter what your political views or ethnicity, I’m sure everyone was convinced the strip was about them.

And here we are today, with the Biden Crime Family making both Clinton and Trump look like great American statesmen. Deep Sigh..
