Jonah Galtberg posted:I bet you're one of those nerds that sneer at protests when they disrupt traffic No, I've taken part in a few peaceful marches in my time, I just think destroying someone's property as a form of revenge is just stupid. As a message all you're saying is "I'm emotional!" and the person /entity has every right to go to the authorities and seek compensation. See also every "hilarious" break-up story. PS: I have three young kids and if I found out someone had abused them in any way I would likely go off my tree too, but I don't think it's the right thing to do.

How many pups does a Greyhound mother have? 4-6? So, say it's the pups of 10 dogs and the trainers didn't think they were viable to race? You're kidding yourself if you think this is some sort of unique grave, it is my guess that's it's just standard procedure every 6 months or so. The industry sucks.

Graic Gabtar posted:Why? Stats needed on why vaccination is being rejected first please before we turn it into a holy war I would have thought. Because "religious reasons" are a belief. Some people's beliefs shouldn't take precedence over someone else's. Some people's beliefs shouldn't get preferential treatment. If the science says vaccination helps everyone, you shouldn't be able to choose to opt out just because of your beliefs. If economics says everyone should pay tax to help everyone else, you shouldn't get preferential treatment because of your beliefs.

Gough Suppressant posted:mate we gotta introduce national id cards, otherwise how will people satisfy the id requirements of voting that we're also introducing, its just common fuckin sense mate Assuming there's a good reason to require id to vote (another argument) then you have people complaining that means people have to pay for id. Consider the idea of a national id card, which I've never argued would have to be compulsory, and people argue against that too because of what? People can steal the details, which can quite easily happen now anyway? Is not greatly necessary, but if a national id could reduce some state & federal redundancy it's possible it wouldn't cost anything more to administer. But, hurr, Nazis tattooed their prisoners during the holocaust...

A whole bunch of progressive countries should give money to an organisation like Human Rights Watch to run education campaigns in countries that could do with changing. If it's Widodo that's been pushing this there is not going to be any way to change his mind if the population is behind him.

because if the politicians are genuinely weepy about this the only way to see any change is through education of the masses. But I guess it's not about that.

Yes, trying to educate other countries is pretty colonial. I just can't see anything changing worldwide about the death penalty unless people get information on why others think it's a rotten idea. Plenty of other things most people in those countries need first though.

Let's just keep in mind that most elected officials will do everything in there power to stay elected. They will say and do whatever they think their voting base want to hear on any particular issue. They will happily contradict themselves by saying one thing and implementing another.

I'm being hyperbolic, I don't travel anywhere. It's probably closer to $15 to from where I am to the city and back every day. The sticker shock when you want to take a family of 5 to the museum on a Sunday is rude though, paying for parking makes way more sense
