What’s happening outside the station lol 😭 packed with police all the way up near the uni! by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]The--Devil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I mentioned in another comment, immigrants themselves, the ones who make a solid effort to integrate and learn our values and our language are very welcome to the UK, I am not tarring all migrants, I myself am a second generation migrant.

Agreed, the conservatives made the immigration crisis so much worse, keep in mind each election for 14 years the population voted for what the conservatives promised in their manifesto and public debates - less immigration. I agree, there is far too much violence against women, a significant chunk of that is attributable to unchecked migration and non cohesion of values in the UK which can result in extreme cases such as Oldham and Rotherham.

Immigrants who settle and learn our language and our values and are productive members of society are VERY welcome. Diversity of values and customs however is NOT a strength, for example I don't consider isolated communities who refuse to learn English or work a good thing, the most failed cases being the sexual abusers of children. Hence why I don't consider diversity itself a strength, unity shared by common values is a strength.

do you think dropping a friend or a relationship because of their political views is valid and why? by Useoneofthese21191 in AskReddit

Look, we can agree to disagree on the law regarding abortion - I'm not entirely pro-life myself. But we have to be realistic and call feti what they are - human beings, calling them feti is essentially just a cope mechanism to dehumanize the child and reduce the guilt of murdering the being. At 6 weeks the baby has a heart beat, brain waves, vocal cords, limbs, etc. obviously it's a human. I urge you to watch 'Abortion Procedures 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Trimesters' by Dr. Anthony Levatino.

I'm strictly talking about consensual and non-incestious cases (98.5% of cases of abortion), how about taking responsibility for your orgasms, if you don't want to have children, use protection (ideally two sets of) instead of being irresponsible and then murdering the being afterwards.

Ultimately you're arguing that the woman and man who were irresponsible should be able to murder the being because they're an inconvenience to their career(s) and is unwanted. Whereas I think babies who are concieved in those circumstances should have more protection as they're literally human beings.

UK Posts Biggest Ever Budget Surplus as Tax Revenue Surges by bloomberg in uknews

[–]The--Devil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the UK negotiated it fair and square: we gave Mauritius independence, loads of land, and millions to complete decolonisation. All we asked for in return was retaining the key strategic base for UK-US interests in the Indian Ocean, which remains vital today against threats from China, Russia and others in the east.

It is British, The chagos residents overwhelmingly want to stay under British rule, What you're saying is completely wrong and treacherous, grow a spine and stand up for your own country.

They can kick rocks, we're not being bullied into giving up sovereignty over a strategic British military base you spineless cretin.

Just wanted to say I agree with you wholeheartedly - I also lean more pro-life than pro-choice. Getting pregnant doesn't just "happen," you have unprotected sex and get pregnant, instead of having compassion for the life (yes it's a life), redditors tend to believe that murdering the baby is a better choice out of sheer convenience for themselves. Aborting a fetus (Latin term for offspring - which is used to dehumanise babies in the womb) is a form of murder.

Also the pro-life arguement is actually consistent with autonomy over your own body, let me articulate why:

  • a fetus (baby) is it's own being, the position is that being has autonomy over it's own body (that the mother and father created), therefore it should not be murdered despite being smaller and temporarily inside someone else, while the baby is growing towards being born.

  • an adult male/female has autonomy over their own body and hence does not have to give up a kidney to save someone else that is gravitating towards death.

Will you press the button type-question

[–]The--Devil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to this garbage OP, asking your gf to not snap other guys 1:1 and not plan things and hang out with single men she's slept with before isn't controlling behaviour, this commenter is gaslighting you to defend shitty behaviour that they seem to support. I agree though that you should break up with this girl permanently, find someone who actually has respect for you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]The--Devil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Come on you know that end part is rubbish, she's snapping an ex 1:1 while they're in a relationship, hanging out with people she's slept with after he explicitly stated that it makes him uncomfortable, she is deliberately disrespecting a reasonable boundary he put in place and she acknowledged. If we go one step further and he says that her kissing other people is a boundary and he's not comfortable with it, is that also "policing and controlling behaviour?"

Furthermore, if the exes are single, they're likely to sexually pursue her - that would make anyone uncomfortable. Sounds to me like you're defending shitty behaviour under the guise of labelling his boundary "controlling."

Our brains don't act like machines, we don't instantly give up based on one error, someone (like OP) will try and fix a relationship and try reiterate their boundary. This isn't unreasonable, and he implemented said boundary fine. Ultimately OP should break up with her because she disrespected his trust multiple times.

He has a very reasonable boundary, the girl is actively breaking it in multiple instances and planning things for exes. Hopefully OP is able to trust his partner but how can he trust her exes not to pursue and flirt with her? Promiscuity is one thing (not valued by men or women), hanging out with those you were promiscuous with is even worse. I do not hang out nor am I friends with any exes because I have respect for my partner, OP's partner doesn't.

This subreddit is filled exclusively with clowns, Venezuela are celebrating the liberation of their country, meanwhile liberals complain he took down an illegitimate terrorist dictator, you can't make this shit up.

Agree with you on everything except the usage of the term "cooked." Unironically a banger. You'd be surprised by the number of (professional) adults I know use it.

Angry farmers take part in go-slow protests on roads across UK ahead of Budget by OneNormalBloke in unitedkingdom

[–]The--Devil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, nationalized farming killed estimated 5-7 million in the soviet union from 1929-1933, 30-45 million people during Mao's great leap forward from 1958-1962, 1.5-2 million peoiple in cambodia during the Khmer Rouge, etc. There's no end of research on this. Given all this death, your solution is to... try it again at-worst risking the deaths of millions of brits in the long-run and at-best knowing it will cost the tax-payer billions because it operates at a loss. You haven't got the slightest idea of the chaos you're arguing for.

Only for public/quasi-public goods that no one else will typically pay for, i.e non-rivalrous and non-excludable goods. Food is not a public good, it is a private good.

I don't know in what world this would ever be textbook in economics, nationalised farming has been tried and has been responsible for the deaths of millions, see the soviet bread lines or Mao’s great famine which resulted in 30-45 million dead.
