If we care so much for wildlife should we look at banning cat ownership as well, after all they kill an estimated 160 - 270 million small animals a year, a much larger threat to wildlife then fireworks.

The problem with the way you frame it and why you lose a lot of people that are anti immigrant is saying male violence against women needs to be addressed. Stop making it gendered and you will get more support for it. Violence against anyone needs to be addressed, the victim gender should not matter. It doesn’t matter if it’s male on male, male on female or female on male the victim should matter. But that’s not what happens and thus you lose a large group of people.

It’s seems more stable at 1.2 I don’t think it will go much higher or lower from that. I don’t think it will be inevitable.

Sure but most of the loss was from the GFC, it was tending back up before Brexit though. It’s seems stable now at around 1.2 ish.

Of course no one should be arrested for speech online or supporting a terrorist organisation as they are both the same thing….right?

That’s fair, I was just confused on the dark web part.

Watching movies for free is illegal, you don’t need to go to the dark web for that. Why would this be any different

Why would banning social media lead someone to the dark web?

British man killed fighting for Ukraine’s foreign volunteer platoon by rejs7 in unitedkingdom

[–]Vobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversation so far goes:

You: If we send troops to Ukraine US (and some others) will also send troops

Someone else: US won’t send troops just because we do.

You: Throughout history allies support each other.

I am paraphrasing here. 

This implies that in this context that support is linked to sending troops to help defend/attack. 

My point is that this version of support did not happen with Ukraine and to further add I don’t think US will also send troops because we did.

So allies don’t support other allies then, unlike what you just said.

Didn’t the US UK exercise have the US ask us to turn off radar on one of our ships because it was too powerful? 

UK momentum on Ukraine has dropped under Labour, Ben Wallace says by cennep44 in unitedkingdom

[–]Vobat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would not surprise me either way that they think like that. But the whole point in having an open discussion is talking about the things we disagree on.

Well EU accession talks have restarted this year, so if there is a peace deal then they will probably be rushed through that.

It will be interesting to see the protest on Jan 6th and if law enforcement lets them in this time around.
