Police work in the US isn't that dangerous either with most on-the-job deaths coming from traffic accidents. But since it strokes their ego and causes society to worship them, cops like to play up that they could die AT EVERY SINGLE CALL EVERY MOMENT THERE'S SOME THUG LOOKING TO TAKE YOU OUT THAT TRAFFIC STOP COULD BE YOUR LAST DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES. A video of a cop being killed during a stop twenty years ago (an article about the video, not the video itself) is still shown to a lot of officers and is very much intended to make them want to shoot first. Combine that with an extremely pro-gun culture that venerates tough-talking, hard-bitten heroes and a view that criminals are irredeemable scum and its not really a surprise that American cops kill lots of people and most of them don't even make the news. edit: the schadenfreude is that America is a broken country and all you other fuckers are going down with us

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Google translate claims "rule of law", could you elaborate on the meaning? I'm actually curious about it. Rule of law is the notion that the government of a society is one of laws and not of men. That the law isn't something capricious or arbitrary, that it's written down and encoded somewhere and applies uniformly to all within the territory, that the rich or the poor or those who govern or those who are popular or those who are unpopular are not given special exemptions or treatment. Contrast with 'the divine right of kings.' Have you really not heard the phrase before?

Fishermen, roofers, construction workers, farmers, and garbagemen all have far more dangerous jobs than police. Taxi drivers even have a higher chance of being murdered than cops. Yet they aren't allowed to freely murder people.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Google translate claims "rule of law", could you elaborate on the meaning? I'm actually curious about it. It's more about the engagement of a person in society. Being very general: the belief is that following the law benefits society as a whole, and therefore an individual who is a member of that society, more than any person would gain from breaking the law. Much less a 'me first' and more of an 'all of us' approach to forming a society. It does mean there is a lot of discussing what the law should be, and there is a great deal of overhead in changing the law, which can make things seem slow. The flip side is it's more difficult to make bad choices and the history of any bad choices can be examined in detail and avoided in future.

Oikeusvaltio means, a state or country that is defined by being just. It doesn't just mean rule of law, because laws can be unjust too.

A goon making a flippant statement about it after another goon makes a joke about jews governing the ocean should probably clue you in that it was meant as a small joke.

Yeah good luck trying to get Americans to follow any of that We seemingly take pride in being a violent, angry country that worships individualism to a serious fault. Don't count on us grasping the concept that there are different ways to live and manage a society. Something about being the champions of freedom I guess? In conclusion, all that sure sounds like dirty socialist talk to me!

Yes, I'm familiar with the term "rule of law", I was curious if there were any particular connotations in Finnish that didn't make it through the translation. EoRaptor and doverhog, thanks for the extra insight.

This is the thread for schadenfreude and the discussion had gone on for quite some time without people posting relevant content. Derails aren't just stopped when they get rude. They get stopped because they are extended discussions that potentially interesting as they may be aren't relevant to the current thread. There are other subforums more suited to those discussions if you want them.
