Irish Joe posted:I'd love to hear the premise for a segment about elections that doesn't come off as sour grapes. For starters there's the fact that one party can get 2.5 million votes and 8 seats while another party can get 3.8 million votes and 1 seat, or one party can get 1.2 million votes and get 1 seat while 1 party can get 1.5 million votes and get 56 seats.

DoggPickle posted:Because it's a life choice that you should save up for and plan.It's not a freak accident or a death of another person that you have no control over. A lot of couples buy houses too. Should you get extra pay or leave in order to do that? My dad died while I was at work. I took a half-day off. I already had my own house and if I didn't work, it wasn't getting paid for. My mom died on Christmas, so lucky me, I didn't need to take off work for that one. I did have to sell my car to pay for the funeral expenses and the two extra houses and two extra cars that I suddenly owned 5 days before all the mortgages/payments were due. I wanna have this post's babies

IRQ posted:I have been assured by a very knowing Rarity of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ... This is a deplorable appropriation of our cuisine. Every Brit knows the only true way to have a child is marinaded in BBQ sauce with a garlic garnish.

IRQ posted:There's so many actual charities and NGOs etc that have a terrible rate of their donations actually getting to people that need them that it makes churches look good by comparison. They're less scammy just by nature of not purporting to have jesus give you a mercedes, but if you think you're helping the children or whatnot you'd do well to look twice at where the money really goes. The majority of charities (including the big name ones) are entirely on the up and up with the vast majority of non-direct spending being invested into fundraising (ie. allowing for larger direct spending in the future) and miniscule amounts going into admin/wages/etc.?

Invalid Validation posted:I probably didn’t get it over that great the point is that people don’t think of taxes as their civic duty like they used to. It’s seen as the government stealing their hard earned money for moochers. Which leads to less people wanting to pay their taxes, which leads to the defunding of the IRS that actually enforced the law that makes people pay.

It's the same in the UK. I literally do nothing with my taxes and then at the end of the tax year the government sends me a letter and sometimes it's got some money inside, sometimes it doesn't.

SlothfulCobra posted:I mean here's your big problem right here, you're couching everything in terminology and political theory that's roundabout 200 years old by now with few clear successes to it's name. I'm not really sure what "liberal" means in this context because there's been a lot of wheeling and dealing in the last couple centuries, and the old context of people just pushing for some light voting rights and ability to form political parties against a system of pure monarchy doesn't exist anymore, and they have a nebulous at best relation to the movements that started popping up a hundred years later. The main calling cards of liberals are: - No strong political ideology - Happy with things being the way they are - Believes in a need for 'sensible politics' - Thinks that personality is more important policy - Argues that the truth is in the middle - Allows hate speech to flourish on the ~*marketplace of ideas*~ - Thinks the tone of the argument is more important than the content of the argument - Doesn't approve of civili disobedience as a political tool - Cannot draw a distinction between the left and the right - Often self-defines as a centrist And yes, they do enable fascists and you can see it happening across the world right now
