'Perceived' failings ah yes I do perceive the 220 foot tall monument to almost a hundred dead human beings (probably more itbt), choked and burned because profits were more important than lives. Get in the loving sea Paget-Brown.

Beefeater1980 posted:The risk is that there might not be enough resources in the whole world to spread that wealth to everyone else. That's my liberal centrist worry: we actually can't produce enough for a global surplus at our current level of technology and when that becomes obvious people will get violent so as to get their share. What resources are we dealing with that the current level of technology can't produce enough of?

Because more police officers means more community engagement means less of a fortress mentality among police. It shifts the emphasis back towards them being civil servants rather than the fist of the state.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Seriously though convince me that population growth won't gently caress everything up cause the population is leveling off in places where women are being liberated, have access to birth control and attain higher educational levels. this means a bunch of populations in the first world are getting older (which isn't ideal) which means they'll become progressively more reliant on immigration from poorer countries, which will lead to more wealth going to the poorer countries, which will increase the likelihood of their women being liberated. the real issue is that climate change will gently caress us WELL before any of that will happen, but describing climate change as an overpopulation problem sort of misses the point. the circumstances which cause climate change also increase populations, but the truth is that we did the most damage with comparatively tiny first world populations

Fans posted:For confused Europeans it helps to know Brexit was never meant to happen. Calling a referendum on it was a political stunt that massively backfired and now no one knows what to do with it. Shouldn't the conservatives have learned from that that if you're in power you shouldn't do democracy except when you absolutely have to?

Im not sure how i feel about international trickledown organised around importing labour to care for our ever growing population of methuselahs. It seems pretty opportunistic.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:There should be like 20 million people at the most, that'd be manageable What? Did you just pull a number out of your arse? Coz even by the most conservative population estimates we passed that somewhere between 4 & 5 millennia ago. For perspective, that's when the Old Kingdom in Egypt was around, before the traditional first Chinese dynasty, the Xia, and to a time when the mythological demigod Gilgamesh is meant to have ruled in Sumeria. What I'm saying that we can easily sustain significantly more than 20 million people. 10 billion? Maybe not. Bit of room between those number though.

LeoMarr posted:so more police means less authortarianism jn the streets? and wben l these unarmed police officers start getting cut down by militants?just keep increasing it? Britain has tough gun control, meaning that generally the most a terrorist or otherwise violent individual will have is some sort of bladed implement. Dudes with knives are extremely vulnerable to being dogpiled by a half-dozen officers with truncheons and stab vests - and, conveniently, are more likely to come out of the experience alive and fit to face trial than if some tacticool sniper had removed their head with an army-surplus anti-tank rifle, because extrajudicial executions are always a bit legally troubling. Plus, greater community engagement means that people are more likely to trust the police enough to tell them if Cousin Joe's starting to look a bit stabby, so the incident is less likely to happen in the first place. So yeah, filling the streets with more big, friendly dudes and ladies with big sticks and the training to use them will probably help more than shrinking the police force but giving them enough firepower to re-enact that one scene from Commando.

communism bitch posted:I didn't twig at the time but now i guess they were talking about Grenfell because I gather that the cladding could have or should have been made of zinc, and that this would've been an improvement. I assume this contorted argument was them all trying to convince themselves and each other that their mate isn't a massive oval office lol. He seems like a perfectly reasonable chap, I mean who amongst us hasn't accidentally bought a property in an area that turned out was soon to have a huge regeneration program take place around it which we voted for, which led to the property's value doubling. I mean I know that sounds illegal and like a massive conflict of interests, but you have to appreciate that he bought the property on the very first day of being a private citizen during a five month break from holding council office which makes it completely legal and above board.
