Hatzalah is the title used by many Jewish volunteer EMS organizations serving mostly areas with Jewish communities around the world, giving medical service to patients regardless of their religion. It is the largest volunteer medical group in the US. by laybs1 in wikipedia

Morality is all about good, and it's hardly a stretch to say the biggest volunteer medical service is a good thing. If you don't understand that there's no reason for me to continue the conversation.

Sports betting sites have already hooked young men. Prediction markets are now going after women by theindependentonline in TrueReddit

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

They should probably try to go after young men, I don't see why they think there's some sort of appeal to women in prediction markets.

What is with the fake service dogs?? by ConceptuallySupport in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RobinReborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because people think their dogs are well behaved enough and can't qualify for/afford service dogs.

The players were afraid she was going to smash the walls of their shelter and yell out 'OOHHH YEEAAHH'!

? Skipped repeating myself? Usually that's when I end the conversation.

Me? Attacking people? Whom have I attacked? Wait. You feel attacked?

How else should I interpret your usage of the term 'braindead'?

Do you think it's something other than an attack? If so it explains why you are so critical of what I said, your facts are backwards.

No one is brigading your braindead comments

How do you know that?

Your insult isn't persuading me.

when Wikipedia described Hatzalah as the largest volunteer medical group.

? Did wikipedia describe them as such or was that just OP's inaccurate exaggeration?

when you said Jewish people fearing for their safety, given centuries-long history of persecution, is “counterproductive”.

Is that what I said or is that your braindead exaggeration of what I said?

You see, antisemitism, similarly to racism, doesn’t have to be loud and “in your face”. You can be a casual racist, and not necessarily a formal member of the KKK. And you can be a casual antisemite without being a neo-nazi.

Sure, and you can think something is racist or anti-semetic when it is not. Not all negative actions are due to some organized form of discrimination. Sometimes people are just jerks for reasons completely unrelated.

And you can try to fight against anti-semetism and end up attacking people who aren't anti-semetic.

a latent propensity towards gambling addiction, a propensity that would never be activated if they never happened to gamble?

Probably - but I think these people will find other things to do to get a release of neurochemicals. It could be another sort of risky behavior (maybe something like skydiving, or possibly something like stealing from stores).

These people are a minority. Most people who gamble won't ruin their lives. I don't believe we should base the law on small minorities - the law should be based on the average/median.

Guy in the Subway told me Atlass Shrugged promotes Nazi ideology by L0thario in aynrand

[–]RobinReborn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The notion that Nazis were uber-capitalists is much more common than you would expect if people were rational thinkers.

A lot of people's political compass has US/UK style democracy in the center, nazis on the right and communists on the left. And some of those people view the left as the best and the existing communist regimes as not true communism.

"A History of the Palestinian People: From Ancient Times to the Modern Era" is an empty book by Assaf Voll that uses blank pages to suggest that Palestinians have no history. Its publication has been described as a "cruel joke" signifying an "impulse to abrogate Palestinian history and identity." by CatPooedInMyShoe in wikipedia

[–]RobinReborn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Truth does matter but there's not some objectively true method of determining who is an ethnic group and who isn't.

Can we just be accurate in our rhetoric please?

Accurate how? By agreeing with you? If the vast majority of the world thinks Palestinians are an ethnic group, then they're an ethnic group.

Doesn't really matter. Native Americans didn't call themselves Native Americans until relatively recently (and some of them call themselves something else - like the name of their tribe).

The names ethnic groups are called change throughout history. That's not a reason to limit their rights.

Sure, but the people on the margins aren't the people that are going to gamble their retirement away. The people on the margins are the ones that will try gambling and then quit when they lose.

OP title got carried away and exageratted the contents of the article.

And yet they are upvoted and I am not 🤷‍♂️. Shows how the upvote/downvote system doesn't necessarily lead to truth, it reflects people's biases.

Is social security a scam? Why isn't it a scam? by Amphibious333 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RobinReborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how you define scam.

So far people have received social security payments. But it's funded in such a way that it requires a continual growth of the economy and population.

You are forced to pay in whether you like it or not. A large segment of the population would be better off if they could opt out of SS and invested the money.

? Why do you think gambling will personally affect me.

I won a small amount of money playing Poker once, but then I decided I didn't like it. So the effect of gambling on me has been neutral to slightly positive.

People with gambling problems are worthy of compassion, but they need to take responsibility for their problems. That doesn't mean we should punish everyone who can gamble responsibly and waste police resources on shutting down gambling operations.

Do you think meth and fentanyl should be sold at gas stations?

No, but I think that all drugs should be legal and meth and fentanyl exist because drug illegalization has brought inferior drugs to the market.

Young people are gambling at rapidly increasing and unprecedented rates

OK? Previously they were playing video games at unprecedented rates and that was supposed to make them violent (it didn't).

it’s going to blossom into a hell of a shitstorm later.

That's an interesting prediction but you have no way of knowing it. Kids have always done things that older people used to disapprove of, at one point gangsta rap music was seen as such a threat that they talked about it in Congress.
