Sunday School 2 years, 7 months agoI mean, burning nylon is problematic, unless you are really desperate for a cheap, toxic and short lived high. Though I would say paint thinner might work better?

Sunday School 2 years, 7 months agoI am not against people having the right to burn books, flags or symbols. But it is obnoxious. If you don’t like the book or flag, throw it out or recycle it. Burning it is pointless hooliganism.

Sunday School 2 years, 7 months agoI have a problem with people who call someone who criticises ideas from Islam or Judaism or policies within Arab countries or Israel as “Islamophobic” or “Anti-Semitic”. We should be able to criticise ideas, especially those which assault the dignity of others or encroach on the basic rights of people.
However I don’t believe that this means…[Read more]

Strega replied to the topic UK entertainment media. How much is how things really are? in the forum Small Talk 2 years, 7 months ago
In the UK last year, there were just under 3,000 adoptions and 60,000 children in foster care. Ratio 1:20
In the USA during the same period, there were 70,000 adoptions and 440,000 children in foster care. Ratio 1:6
The disparity was studied, and one of the immediate difficulties in analysing the underlying data was that the vast majority of UK…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 7 months agoEnco, thanks for strawmanning the shit out of me. Your cop out is such bullshit, I promise this is the last time I engage on anything tinted by your libertarian ideology.
All things in terms of people’s standards of living are quantifiable. Someone has a roof over their head or they don’t. Someone meets a threshold for an agreed standard of…[Read more]

Enco, that is an even worse cop-out I expected to come from you. Do you have absolutely no intellectual dignity? Are you utterly completely incapable of conceding a point or admitting you have, at the very minimum made too grandiose a claim?

Enco, that people with more disposable income give more “charitable” donations is not in dispute. That is obvious. Of course that would happen. Once again I ask you, please present evidence that this would, assuming we end public support of essential programs that would provide assistance to the most vulnerable to ensure their survival and most…[Read more]

The level of homelessness in your country is staggering and the amount of people left to fight for themselves and literally die in the gutter is depressing.
I never claimed people do not donate money. Nor have I claimed that people aren’t getting more generous over time. I am simply denying your ludicrous claim that donations from private people…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 7 months agoThere are plenty of problems with the Spanish constitution. And Spain (along with France, UK, the Netherlands and Portugal) did unspeakable things for centuries around the world and even until quite recently. Spain had a dictatorship until only a few decades ago and is an incredibly corrupt country. I don’t pretend to defend any of this and I…[Read more]

It all sort of makes sense Pope.

Outrage culture is a very real thing. “Cancel culture” is not. People paying a price for things they say is nothing new, it has happened always and will always happen. It is not “cultural”, it is a natural part of human interaction. People paying a notable public price for things they said used to be mostly conservative reactions to people not…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 7 months ago@unseen it’s particularly convoluted in the sense that the Hindu caste system is embedded in their society. Efforts to extricate Hindu preferentialism from the governing structure have to counter both religious and societal hurdles.

Ugh I cannot take anyone seriously if they propose that humans, outside of a collective system, sufficiently donate money, out of the goodness of their hearts, that sufficiently take care of other humans enough to ensure other’s don’t starve to death, have a house or that children don’t live in neglect. All the evidence shows that in societies…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 8 months agoI don’t believe you need to repeal the Second Amendment. You could just clarify exactly what a well regulated militia is, and require States to adhere to the specific definition.
