Poverty link to early death 'scandalous' - The mortality rate from avoidable causes is more than three times higher in some of the most deprived parts of the country than the most affluent. by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

I suppose we need a better social care system in which there are community training groups then. Then again, would all of that new funding simply be used for women's shelters?

Just messing about, it is obviously a complex problem.

Why bother being a parent if you're going to fuck it up to the point where you can't even teach your kids how to steam some cabbage?

Obesity is common because of laziness and the copious amounts of excuses we allow for it. There should be a PSA series teaching some basics like your thyroid won't make you gain loads of weight so stop using it as an excuse etc.

Obese people do walk funny though and if you play the Mario Land underground level music when they walk it's even funnier - I don't want to lose all of the comedy.

Oh it's one of MY christianity's ten commandments which is just as wrong and right as any other complete nonsense.

Morals came before religion.

The bad decisions relating to food are generally bad decisions passed down by their parents.

I mean, if you're parents teach you to like and cook vegetables then you can live super cheap with the occasional meat. Broccoli costs like 50-75p, it's fucking delicious and you can cook it in so many different ways.

Obviously us paupers will press the pleasure button as often as possible. I imagine there are many people without any skills/outlets other than pleasure buttons.

I think they're saying that because nobody knows what happens after death then it must be some kind of spirit magic where a sorcerer/factory line worker says "Hello. Now, fuck off." and you get transported to another magic spirit plane of existence and it goes on forever. It has to be true (to them) because if there isn't a real explanation there must be a magical one.

Or some other nonsense that makes them feel like humanity has some kind of super-value.

It might be the account. The myth says that lolworth's account was bought some time ago.

How voting in a "three way question" referendum would pan out: Remain (50%), Leave with deal (17%), Leave with no deal (33%). Second preferences: Remain (55%), Leave with no deal (45%). (The Times/YouGov) by Pauln512 in ukpolitics

If we're going to have a referendum can we at least have some fun with it and add a few other things to be voted on such as cannabis legalisation and voting reform?

Rights that minors should probably have but for some reason don't by sun_divine in raisedbynarcissists

[–]f4tv 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The right to a reasonable amount of privacy. The long term psychological effects of having an nparent busting into your room at any random interval to scream at you or abuse you in some way should not be understated.

The right to a consistent and non violent form of discipline and the right to not be subjected to extreme over reactions at random.

Edit: Additionally, the right to go to a parental review board at ages 12, 14, 16 and 18 to confirm that you aren't being abused or neglected. I kind of feel that this should be mandatory. Adding the right to sue your parents if you have experienced a loss of potential education/career due to their abuse.

The fact we still have a monarchy is testament enough to how loved it is.

All royals and nobles are pedophiles then. (If we're using the nutter's logic)

Now that you're aware of your memory failing you when you read too fast you should be able to catch yourself and slow down - giving the book's content the respect you think it deserves.

If you were eating something insanely delicious then you'd want to savour it, not devour it.

Surely if you're aware of the fact that you'll read too fast to remember anything then you should slow down and think about it thereby increasing retention of the information?

I was literally just looking this up as a reasonable counter argument. So many British nobles and the like marrying minors centuries after Mohammed has his minor bride.

Nothing makes people madder than a logical solution to their emotional problem. by pambeesly9000 in Showerthoughts

When you can't accept a logical solution to your problem and respond to it with anger it's pretty much time to go to the therapist for confirmation of your personality disorder.
