HortonNash posted:What is RTE in Ireland like? Presumably a Scottish PSB would be similar in scale and scope. Same license fee but with adverts and full of tv from *gasp* a foreign country. Coohoolin posted:Am I the only person who routinely sees people posting RT videos about the indyref on facebook? Or the only person who's frequently told by people that they watch RT to get a different perspective? Sure, it's not like anything else on tv levels of popularity, but it's part of the discourse. I suspect your facebook friend list is not a representative sample of the Scottish population. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Nov 2, 2014 |

Jedit posted:Well, those violent acts are compatible with Islam and being drunk isn't because alcohol is forbidden. I think we need some authorative advice here because I cant believe that setting fire to a poppy seller is islamically ok in a way that drinking alcohol is not. I expect it's just like Christianity: literally anything can be ok or forbidden, depending on which bit you pay attention to.

Kegluneq posted:Not drinking alcohol is pretty characteristic of Islamic communities in Britain. My wife has been to a lot of dry social events with her Muslim coworkers, from weddings to leaving parties. Certainly there are Muslims who do drink, but it's not completely normalised to the degree that teetotalism is. I'm not sure how authoritative your wife's social life is, unless it includes jihadist get togethers. I've not known any drunk Muslims either but nor do I know any that carry out poppy arson. I've got a feeling that beheadings are less normalised within the Islamic community than necking a few cans of special brew.

I disagree and think the economic argument trumps all and, going back to the independence referendum, the No campaign may have relied almost exclusively on an economic argument, but it was the Yes campaign's lack of a coherent economic plan that what was ultimately their downfall. Nobody is going to have their minds changed by fuzzy warm promises of universally beneficial integration and broader horizons, that sort of thing comes with hindsight. The economic case needs to be made first. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Nov 7, 2014 |

Most people these days buy 'travel systems' that have a collapsible chassis along with a pushchair that can collapse with it, but also a 'carry cot' that fits on the top for when the baby is very young. These don't collapse and are quite large - they're not the sort of thing you could carry on your knee. Without knowing more details I'd be wary of judging her for not removing her pushchair/pram as she may have had no option but to block the aisle or leave the bus. Additionally, the mother may have been given the pushchair second hand so it may not have been her choice which one she uses. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Nov 14, 2014 |

If you're assessing need surely the reason for travel is also a factor? Should a disabled person taking a trip to the cinema take priority over a parent taking a baby to the hospital?
