goddamnedtwisto posted:Don't forget "card carrying" as a political term comes from the Red Scare in the US to describe communists, partly to show just how depraved they were to be an actual official commie, but mostly because everyone loves alliteration. Also most Americans aren't formally members of a party and don't carry cards. Communists doing that is Weird and Different to them in a way it isn't to the many people in this thread who do now or have formerly had a little red card of their own in their wallet.

Oh dear me posted:It's not regressive, whether or not it's good. Tax thresholds apply to all people above them. The very poorest do not benefit from tax threshold rises at all, which is why those are the Tory/LD preferred tax changes. Inflation exists.

Ash Crimson posted:It's basically to punish people for jacking it ...you realise in the US they do it to newborns right. And yes its a cultural norm over there, not just the Midwest. 50s ideas of hygiene I think, not a religious thing, though apparently it does have a minor positive effect in reducing STD transmission iirc. I was circumcised for phimosis when I was 13. Recovering from the operation wasn't fun but the effects afterwards aren't huge, or you wouldn't see the entire white male WASP population of America being put through it generation after generation. In my particular case it would have saved me several months as a teenager of having my penis look like corned beef and feel like fire. Still sympathetic to banning it on consent grounds but no it really really isn't equivalent to FGM (which also doesn't happen at infancy iirc?)

Dogatron posted:Neonatal circumcision is a lot safer. It's why it happened for at least 1000 years in the Middle East without creating a historical mortality dip. Uhhh you have heard of Jewish people yes? Quite a lot longer than a thousand years, yes. I doubt they'd be doing it if it killed babies by the cartload.

So I went in swinging and called them all racists, because you know they were. So the guy who put up the banner invited me to this group, it's notionally called and education group. I thought it might be interesting but actually it's insane. Mate, you joined a cult.

My fleabag cost me something like £20 (no chip though and I had to have his nuts cut off myself). They got more from me upselling me on the luxury cat bed they swore wasn't like other cat beds and the kitten would actually use it. Did he? Has he at any point in the last 9 years? Has he gently caress.
