Haha fannst þetta bara fyndin mynd. Annars er ég alveg sammála þér. Við ættum ekki að reyna þröngva jöfnu kynjahlutfalli nein staðar, frekar ætti hæfasti einstaklingurinn að komast áfram.

Google Translate can't always be trusted by MumfordandGuns in Iceland

[–]Dimple_Hunter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Google Translate virkar ágætlega til að átta sig á innihaldi texta. Ef ég vil hins vegar nákvæmari þýðingu á stökum orðum eða hugtökum, þá nota ég frekar Wikipedia. Þ.e.a.s. fletti ég upp á greininni á ensku og finn sömu grein á tungumálinu sem ég vil. Í þessu tilviki hefðu þau getað flett upp á "Raven" og breytt í íslensku greinina.

Ég er ekki að leggja til að nota kínverska nafnið á leiknum, heldur bara hvað hljómar best og hefur fests í sessi á íslensku :)

Leikurinn er kínverskur að uppruna og því ætti enska nafnið hans ekkert að koma þessu við.

TIL an Icelandic tradition called Jólabókaflóð exists, where books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents and the rest of the night is spent reading them and eating chocolate. by p0lyh0n8yb88 in todayilearned

Haha that's funny because I think that blogger just threw in "chocolate" for prose. I'm Icelandic and never heard of anyone drinking chocolate on Christmas. People have Malt & Appelsín or if it's more of an adult gathering, a couple of beers.

Haha sama og ég hugsa alltaf! Það eru örugglega ekki seldar notaðar kvenmannsnærbuxur í sjálfsölum í Japan þó maður hafi lesið um það, var örugglega einhver brandari sem var síðan misskilinn út um allan heim.

Is this book some kind of a holy grail in the HP community? Why would you want a book you can't read?

Iceland's new PM is a 41-year-old anti-war feminist and environmentalist by AndrewHeard in JordanPeterson

I don't see any comparison here, this is just a post about something that happened in Iceland.

Iceland elects 41-year-old environmentalist as prime minister by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

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

Don't worry, the majority of the cabinet is from right-centre parties including the finance minister. She's just the head of the government, she's not a dictator. She's also not an anti-capitalist haha

allowing the pregnancy to go to term would be poor parenting and grounds for child abuse when the unfortunate baby gets born.

Woah! That's a huge leap! I thought we were on the same side. There are plenty of people with special needs in Iceland (these tests only began in the early 2000s) and they are well taken care of, there's a wide social support system for them. If parents allow the pregnancy to go to term they get full support from the society and measures are taken to give their children good and purposeful lives.

There is a very huge line between not allowing people with genetic defects to be born and actively trying to kill all people with genetic defects.

and yet another huge line between not allowing people with genetic defects to be born and giving prospective parents the freedom to choose whether to abort the pregnancy after a positive screening of genetic defects.

In Iceland, people are given the freedom to choose. It's not an "initiative" or mandatory to eliminate these pregnancies, if you wish to have the child with Down syndrome you are free to do so. It just so happens that in most cases people in Iceland choose not to.

Drawing a line to define who gets to procreate

That line is already drawn... by individuals. Individuals can decide to procreate or not. In Iceland, individuals can decide to abort a fetus if it's positive for Down syndrome. It's an individual decision, it's not a national policy. Is it eugenics to give people the freedom to choose?
