“If you’re playing Grand Theft Auto, as a 13 year old boy, and lets of teenage boys will do, you can go — in that game, not just, you know, drive cars recklessly, you can go for a lap dance, you can go and shoot police,” Minister Dutton said. “And so we need to have a broader conversation about the influences on those young boys, both in a family setting and a societal setting and particularly online.”

Pretty sure shooting police would reduce domestic violence not increase it

I'm not at risk, but I am eligible to get the current rollout because I work in aged care. I called the one (1) place in my city that offers it, and they are only offering to existing patients, and said to call back in a fortnight.

Pollies still trying to do the video games thing these days is hilarious. As somebody pointed out (I think in an older version of this thread), people with younger kids these days are gen xers or older millenials who grew up playing all the moral panic games of the 90s/00s.

It's the lamest attempt at a moral panic. Just so far out of touch.

Hmm, I wrote that at breakfast time actually. And no, not embarrassed. Stand by the point. Love, acceptance and intolerance of intolerance no matter its form.

I don't appreciate people disregarding me for the ethnic group or gender I happen to be born into because I don't appreciate people disregarding anyone for their ethnic group or gender. I do appreciate the people who understand my point. But I'll try to make it short and simple for you and the others who are losing their cool because a white man got upset.

It is not okay to put someone down or disregard them because of something they have no control over. Age, race, gender, or disability. Whether you are a member of that group or that group has traditionally benefited from corrupt power systems they have inherited is not an excuse to denigrate someone for their position of birth. That's it, that's the point.

The system we inhabit teaches people it is okay to disregard people for these things, the system is bad.
Attacking an individual for something they had no control over, in this case 'all white men should never have power again' is disregarding individuals, and ignoring the wrongs of the system.
You are perpetuating the system. You want to say Christian Porter shouldn't be in a position of power because he's probably a rapist, go ahead. You want to say my 4 year old son shouldn't ever be in a position of power because countless dipshits raped people? gently caress that line of thinking. My 4-year-old son is wonderful and we he grows up he'll grow up to respect people, and question the systems of power that cause hurt.

I'm sorry to everyone who reads my splurges, but it's something I'm passionate about. The only way to break this system is through love, acceptance and intolerance of intolerance. Any intolerance.

So far in defence of this intolerance, we've had reductions to absurdism, hasty generalisations, genetic fallacies, circular arguments and Ad hominem attacks. It's a poo poo list of ways to fight an argument without fighting its point. Because you can't fight my point. It's a drat good point. And anyone who says we're wasting our time arguing this point needs to look up and read the title of this website. You've come to talk politics here, on something awful. We are all wasting our time here.

The vast vast majority of the vaccines being AstraZenica, to the point they've made a manufacturing infrastructure deal with the company is gonna cause a bit of grief too, they keep pushing back rollouts in Europe because there was a paper published from Norway about a correlation with blood clots

It's too much information to reasonably explain to the amount of people you have to explain it to; "well there looks like there are extraordinarily rare instances where a person with an anti-body response from their previous Covid infection overreacts and your immune system causes you a serious medical condition, much less likely than an infection with the disease would, a research paper from a team in Norway suggests"

Headlines and Facebook hits harder. Not surprising at all for people to refuse that even if there's a vanishingly small chance they'd've been infected, like it seems most people in this country have
