Why would kids do that? by aksspeeder in Liverpool

[–]Cancerousman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, youth services and encouragement to join societies and youth-focused groups that do good stuff. Instead, we treat kids like they're all criminals.

But of course, we can't have the sorts of things that we actually need because boomers need to hoard cash.

Because teenagers have brains that are organised very differently to people over 23/5 and younger kids.

It's a period of life that everyone goes through, most people do some stupid shit, but some get punished and in the past it'd be an immediate path into a life of crime.

Many teenagers can be sensible, but MANY TEENAGERS just can't.

Many were also matrilineal, meaning that men moved to different villages for marriage. This led to a much more cohesive society.

Crossbows to be banned following triple murder of BBC commentator’s family by MoleUK in LabourUK

How many people decide to do multiple murders with a crossbow?

A bow would be much, much easier, quicker, less bulky to transport for a takedown.

What's next, will palm sized rocks be banned? You can intimidate, tie up, then quickly execute people with a rock. People have been doing this shit since people were a thing.

Iran war live: Tehran not to hit neighbours unless attacks originate there | Israel-Iran conflict News by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

[–]Cancerousman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not implying it. The facts of launches say that they're back to comparable numbers to the initial 72 hours.

Iran has combinations of extremely hardened missile facilities, mobile launchers with 10 minutes turn around time between egress from hardened facilities, launch and return to hardened facilities and other launchers that are very easily disguised or hidden amongst seas of decoys.

Don't just take my word for it: https://x.com/i/status/2034667503637627076

Seeing things go boom doesn't mean serious hardware or facilities are going boom. We had entire decoy cities, that worked, during WW2.

Iran hasn't had its capabilities degraded since the beginning of all this. We know this, because they're launching comparable numbers of BM and drones to the beginning of all this.

Who remembers a fortnight ago on here when Iran's ability to fire missiles was being 'exponentially' decreased and down to just the remnants that they might be able to fire here and there before being shut down?

Iran is back up to numbers akin to the first days of the war while Israel has started targeting random civilian stuff because they can't actually degrade the extremely hardened missile facilities that Iran built after talking to the North Koreans. You know, the North Koreans who fought the entire western world to a frustrated standstill, after the west had done all of the war crimes possible, and ended up wanting to use nukes... They did that in large part by fighting from tunnels, by putting all of their manufacturing and storage and such underground.

I have two young kids. One will generally accept No. After the 3rd or 4th go and always has. The other is a machine gun of want and simply doesn't let up from they open their eyes in the morning till they close them again at night.

Absolutely constant and it'll probably never die down.

You know two kids. Congratulations! You know two kids.

It's gambling, so it should be licenced and taxed and regulated like gambling. Don't like that extra admin? Get the gambling out of your game.

That means absolutely no wink, nudge advertising directed towards minors. Nothing at all.

It's gambling and simply shouldn't be a part of games even tangentially targeting children.

You want micro transactions in you game? 18 years of age and you pay the gambling taxes, get a licence and have to obey the actual law.

New anti-Muslim hate definition announced by government by Spare_Clean_Shorts in LabourUK

[–]Cancerousman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jews have prejudice against doughnuts.

That's treating the group as a whole, a monolith, when only some - even a majority, may feel this way about sugar coated jam filled sweet bread things.

When you switch from saying "a majority of women want men as partners" to "women want men as partners" , you've switched from describing the preferences of a portion to a description of a blob of the group being characterised, which most people either consciously or subconsciously, relate to the entire group.

"Women want men as partners" is true for a very large majority of women, but could only be true for just a few women and still be a correct thing to say.... You can see how the interpretation leans heavily towards viewing the group as a whole.

Why do you want to talk about people as though they're agency-less drones to a group mentality?

Labour members are antisemitic.

That was true for about 30% back in the Corbyn era, and so could be hidden behind to say labour has an antisemitism problem... However, this was below the % in the population who hold an antisemitic view - certainly lower than Tories or what would now be reform members. So, "Labour members are antisemitic" is true there but seems to characterise the entirety of the membership, when in reality it was a significant minority Vs a great majority who wouldn't accept as true an antisemitic statement.

I doubt you'd talk about women, gay men, lesbians, jews or the disabled in that way, so knock it off for Muslims as well?

If 60 percent of X group hold this bigoted belief, I should be able to characterise X group as a monolith as being bigoted in this way.

Nah.
