The British Farm Animal Care and Welfare committee:

The Brambell Report on Farm Animal Welfare came out in the 1960's and has been used as a base for Canadian/UK legislature regarding Animal welfare ever since. (Although it desperately needs upgrading)

Aka this has no bearings on the method of killing, just that a Muslim did the killing.

EDIT - Looks like the UK has started allowing electrically stunned chickens to be considered "Halal". I have no problem with this!

Not a single thing you've quoted says that the animal needs to be conscious; not a single thing you've quoted says anything about Canada.

My understanding is that they get shut down because they attract right-wingers, seeing as the idiots on Tumblr are mostly left-wing. Sticking to mocking sites like Facebook where the idiots are right-wing helps to keep SA left-wing and therefore on the right side of history.

I don't think there's some grand mod conspiracy; goons devolve into stupidity and white-knighting after a mock thread has gone on long enough, no matter the subject.

This thread and the A/U/G thread have a varied enough scope that there's no chance for steady factions to form; it's the only thing that keeps them going.

For Montreal that's certainly the case, but I was under the impression that the small country got pretty bad, am I just wrong on this?

E: There was that bill where they wouldn't let Sikh people work for the government thing.

You're wrong.

It wasn't a bill, it was a proposed bill that was put up for discussion and it wasn't banning people of a certain faith from working for the government, it was banning people from overtly displaying religious symbols while serving the public on behalf of the government. It was handled terribly, and the party that proposed it got epically trounced during the last election, which tells you all you need to know about the popular opinion on the subject. (It was far from the main issue in the election, contrary to what English-Canadian media would tell you, though.)

Homosexuality's pretty well accepted in Quebec. You still have people who aren't too keen about it, your older folks and your farmers mostly, but the crowd that put up the charter of value, the PQ? They had an homosexual leader a couple of goes ago. They're moderate left, BTW - The right wing party's pretty much the one that's in power right now, or the CAQ, if you want to count the CAQ as a real party.

Even that implies that Tebow has ever been made fun of for being Christian as opposed to evangelical. In order for Michael Sam (or Jason Collins in this case) to be equivalent to Tebow, he would need to wear eyeblack that said "I LIKE DICKS" and bend a dude over on the sideline every time he made a play.

Yeah that only really works in latitudes between the tropics and at certain times of the year. The maximum height of the sun on any given day (at local apparent noon) is dependent on your latitude and the Sun's declination. It's been a while since I did celestial navigation so I might be messing up the terms here.

A hand with your hand outstretched is about 10 degrees of altitude, for what it's worth. So if each hand is 10 degrees, if you're somewhere where the Sun is directly overhead, by that method it would have to be in the sky for 18 hours (9 hours up, 9 down).

I think that only happens in polar latitudes, and the Sun doesn't go that high there.

I thought "not helping each other" was what libertarianism was all about.

No, the central tenet is that no one should be forced to do anything, including helping each others. So in a perfect libertarian society, the social net would be replaced by voluntary charity. Of course, what they really want is to not pay taxes and so it's very much "gently caress you, got mine, help yourself."

Like communism or anarchism, it's one of those models that would work perfectly if human nature was completely different.

So apparently I'm a "bullying gobshite" for trying to ascertain whether a group of self-styled feminists think it's okay to touch the genitals of children.

For the record, I asked her twenty-four times before I got tired of imitating Jeremy Paxman.

Why'd you ask that 18 times? What context made you think that was a good idea?

And without context, the diaper changing argument is pretty valid to me, and since you chose not to supply context... I hope you don't work in PR.

Edit: missed the edit, I'm not watching a 9 minutes video to figure out why you felt the need to ask someone about children's genital twenty four times.
