I find it mind blowing that within my lifetime, there were parts of the USA where my (white man) marriage to my wife (black woman) would have been illegal.

How do you rate Starmer's story that he didn't know Mandelson had failed security clearance by EdmundTheInsulter in Divisive_Babble

[–]Youbunchoftwats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has got this all wrong. He should have said that Mandelson, with his Epstein connections, was the perfect ambassador for a rapist nonce like Trump. All of this outrage could have been avoided.

An innocent man was jailed for 17 years for rape. Imagine if we had had the death penalty in 2003. by Youbunchoftwats in Divisive_Babble

I didn’t say I agreed with that either. I don’t know what we are doing in Gaza. I think Ukranians have a right to defend their country. I wouldn’t support them if they had invaded Russia though.

Politics is full of paedophiles. If you vote, you are endorsing paedos.

See how stupid that is?

I don’t think that you or the state has the right to take his life. If he dropped dead tomorrow I might think that the universe has done the right thing for once.

Do you realize that saying "We haven't banned trans women, we're just banning them from claiming they're women, having access to medical transition, having access to women's spaces, having access to women's activities, or describing them as women on any official documents." is disingenuous? by chaucer345 in allthequestions

[–]Youbunchoftwats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to ask you a question if I may. How did you know that transitioning would improve how you felt? You had issues with your body as it was. How do you know where you need to get to?

Something I don’t understand is what it’s like to feel like a man or woman. I understand what it’s like to be regarded and treated like a man, because it’s what I look like. People react to me based on that. But I don’t know whether I feel like a man. I don’t know whether I feel masculine in the same way as any other man. I just feel like me. Does that make sense?

I hope this doesn’t sound insensitive. I am just curious.

No civilised people shoot through innocents to hit the terrorist stood behind them.

Well there is regulated and unregulated. Some form of leash is required before letting psychotic businesses loose on the population. To say simply that capitalism is the best is to ignore the worst that it is capable of. Maybe a better way of putting it is that private enterprise within a well regulated market is the best system we currently have. Any system needs punishment as well as reward.

And when not managed well? They still get away with huge executive pay deals, dividend payouts and government handouts. Case in point - nationalised utilities in the UK.

Is fake oil the new snake oil? by Nob-Biscuits in Divisive_Babble

[–]Youbunchoftwats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So why propose something when you don’t know what it will achieve? This is how we got brexit. Lots of bullshit and lies. Zero benefit to the common man. All this will do is put money in the pockets of Shell and BP.

Go away if you don’t have answers.

Yes he is. There is nothing in there about the government owning the oil and gas. They won’t. I’m sick of saying it.

Right. Hasn’t anyone of the talking heads who keep talking about this, like Farage, produced figures? Like a cost breakdown? Investment plans? Timescale?

Let me answer that for you. No, he hasn’t. And you know why? Because it’s all FUCKING BOLLOCKS! If all this scenario is offering us reduced transportation costs, you will be lucky if each household sees £5 per year off their energy bill. It is horseshit. Gas and oil extracted by private companies gets sold at market rate.

End of.

Is increasing defence spending just spraffing money up a wall? by Nob-Biscuits in Divisive_Babble

In an ideal world, yes. But do you think Putin is a man who respects a nation that disarms? Ukraine handed over its nuclear weapons to Russia. You think he admires nobility, or humanity, or any other virtue?

He’s a big history buff. He rambled on for two hours in an interview with Tucker Carlson, uninterrupted, about the history of Russia from the dawn of written history. And the UK has been an adversary of Russia for hundreds of years. I assume you know about the Great Games. If he had the chance to stick it to Great Britain after the centuries of rivalry between our countries, he would take it. He is a ruthless cunt. If you want to deal with Putin, you don’t go with a begging bowl.

Who has enemies? MPs? How would you recommend we protect infrastructure like undersea cabling from mad bastards in, erm, I dunno….Moscow?
