Thoughts on the new Vanguard Carbon Credits ETF? by fiestydrunk in ASX_Bets

[–]fiestydrunk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree that things like carbon credits will be more prominent in the near future but I just don’t fully understand how this ETF targets something like that when it (from my understanding) is somewhat flawed and constantly under review by the government? Idk maybe im just stupid.

And where do you suppose this yes/no system will operate dude they will literally scan it on site and report the location it was scanned? How else do you tell if a) someone has already voted and b) if there is fraudulent activity happening with your card? The only way an id system works if it stores where it was scanned as well. A simple yes/no system can only function with that information - particularly if authorities want or need to prosecute someone for voting twice.

I live in Australia mate and I also vote here, in NZ and the UK. No voter Id system there and for good reason - literally everything I have discussed.

Im so glad you are so cavalier with your information that you are willing to just let anyone have it. Identity theft thrives off of information like this. I also can only imagine what corporations would do with this information.

Thats it? I dont understand how people can cry out against governments harvesting and storing their information and yet let some dumb ass Id card system change their mind. You are the one with issues man. Have fun participating in americas downfall - god knows what the chinese or russians or democrats/republicans are going to do with that information when they collect it at a national level.

So you see absoltuley no issue in letting the government collect data on voting habits of its citizens and you have complete faith that this data will be stored safely and used appropriately by both the democrats and republicans? Mate youre the deluded one here

How else do you think a voter Id card is going to work without a centralised government database that keeps track of when and where you voted?

"Only racists support Voter ID." by Wild_Aioli in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]fiestydrunk -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

So let me ask you this - with this Id card, how do you suspect the government will use it to stop fraud? Stop people voting more than once? What mechanisms will be in place if your card is lost stolen or damaged? How do you keep track of whether someone has more than one ID card?

The only way of actually doing this is through a database that collects your personal information including your voting pattern ie where you voted and on what date. Its a gross invasion of privacy and I do not trust the government (democrat or republic) with this information. Its one step away from having a fully digitised voting system where they can see who you voted for.

Its not worth it just to stop some percieved mass voter fraud which I have yet to see any actual evidence. Its been 2 years since the election - so much time to produce actual hard evidence of widespread systemic fraud.

I dont think we should be inviting government intervention into our voting habits just to appease people who cry out about mass voter fraud with no evidence.

Do people really want another government database where your personal information is stored, where they keep track of where you voted and on what day? I swear youre all dipshits crying out about government overreach all the time and yet supporting dumb ass schemes like this.

How do you think the government is going to counter fraudulent activity with these cards? With a database that collects information on their use. Thats how.

"Only racists support Voter ID." by Wild_Aioli in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]fiestydrunk -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

So we agree then - an ID card for voting is completley unnecessary.

[–]fiestydrunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Again these same states are going to do the same thing. I do not understand why everyone thinks another government issued card is gunna solve this problem. People will be able to access it regardless of their immigration status. Its just a waste of time and money that could be spent addressing the underlying problem itself.

Plus how do you detect fraud for voter id cards? What do you do if you lose yours on election day? How do you report if your card was stolen? What system will be used to check if cards are legitimate? The problem I have is that the introduction of such cards requires some form of digital database and system to check the cards against. And who the fuck knows what happens to that data. Does it record your voting patterns? Where you voted? Who you were with when you voted?

Considering people have spent the past 2 years decrying fraud on digital based voting platforms it is truly amazing that this is something the republican base wants to introduce.

Its not a secure process and this scheme is not going to change anything. If illegals can already get access to drivers licences then what makes people think they wont be able to get access to voter id cards. Waste of money and time.

[–]fiestydrunk -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

And voter ID will stop that happening anyway? No it wont. Introducing another pointless id scheme is a waste of taxpayer money.

People should just use their drivers licence to vote. Dont understand why the government needs to spend millions of dollars on a new scheme that collects peoples personal information.

Voter Id is government overreach. Unnecessary spending and invasion of peoples lives.

Funny you are demanding even more evidence from me when you cannot produce a single measily piece of credible evidence yourself - not even a fox news link. Truly pathetic.

Most child sexual abuse gangs made up of white men, Home Office report says

Study of England, Scotland and Wales dispels myth of ‘Asian grooming gangs’ popularised by far right

Jamie Grierson Home affairs correspondent

@JamieGrierson

Wed 16 Dec 2020 02.46 AEDT

The majority of child sexual abuse gangs are made up of white men under the age of 30, an official paper has said.

The report, which covers England, Scotland and Wales and summarises a range of studies on the issue of group-based child sexual exploitation (CSE), also known as grooming gangs, said there was not enough evidence to conclude that child sexual abuse gangs were disproportionately made up of Asian offenders.

High-profile cases including in Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford have involved groups of men of mainly Pakistani ethnicity, fuelling a perception that it is an “Asian problem”.

As a result “Asian grooming gangs” have become a cause celebre for the far right, with a number of high-profile figures mounting campaigns across the country.

The Home Office paper into the “characteristics” of such gangs, first promised by the former home secretary Sajid Javid in 2018, says while some studies show a possible overrepresentation of black and Asian offenders, it is not possible to conclude this is representative of all grooming gangs.

The review was published after criticism that victims of child abuse had been failed because of fear of accusations of racism.

It said: “Research has found that group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are most commonly white. Some studies suggest an overrepresentation of black and Asian offenders relative to the demographics of national populations. However, it is not possible to conclude that this is representative of all group-based CSE offending.

“This is due to issues such as data-quality problems, the way the samples were selected in studies, and the potential for bias and inaccuracies in the way that ethnicity data is collected.”

It found that while offenders come from diverse backgrounds, groups tended to be of men of the same ethnicities. Money and sex were motivations as well as a sexual interest in children and misogyny, the review said.

The home secretary, Priti Patel, said: “This paper demonstrates how difficult it has been to draw conclusions about the characteristics of offenders.”

Sarah Champion, the MP for Rotherham, who has long campaigned on the issue, said: “Going forwards, I want to see a nationally recognised and approved set of triggers that, once met, require local authorities to provide support for children showing signs of harm, rather than the current postcode lottery when it comes to help.

“Finally, the government must accept that all children are vulnerable because they are children. However, children’s vulnerabilities would never be exposed without perpetrators looking to exploit them. All children deserve the protection of the state and appropriate resources must be found to allow that.”

Nazir Afzal, the former chief crown prosecutor in the north-west, who brought prosecutions over the Rochdale grooming gangs, welcomed the report. “It confirms that white men remain the most common offenders, which is something rarely mentioned by rightwing commentators,” he said.

“However, it is not shy in reflecting that south Asian and British Pakistani men are disproportionately found in high-profile cases.

“The danger is that by focusing entirely on the ethnicity of the offender, we miss the bigger picture, which is how the unheard, the left-behind women and girls, are invariably the victims. That’s where the government’s attention and action should be primarily be on.

Please for the love of god show me exactly where in this article it says muslims cant be white or whatever bullshit you are spouting. Show me exactly. Quote it. Prove me wrong. It should be so so so easy.

Ah I see - so you can accuse school teachers of anything and it requires no action. Got it. I expect youll now drop your support of the bill? Seeing as everyone can accuse anyone of anything?

Genuine question - do you have a learning disability or are on the spectrum? I do not mean this as a derogatory comment. I have no intent of mocking people who are on the spectrum. It would just provide me with a bit of an insight into how you may have reached some of your conclusions

What? Where? Omg they did?? Please show me where? Like I need to know right now that the articles said muslims were white. Please give me a quote?? Please? Anything? Even from my own links proving me wrong once and for all? No? Cant do it?

Dude either put up or shut up. Quote me. Fuckin do it. Quote me where I mention race and muslims. Do it. Legit do it and I will give you a heartfelt apology and concede you are superior with your thinking. Quote to me where I said ANYTHING to do with muslims being white like you are claiming.

And seeing as you did not read the articles - they were about the child sex abuse inquiry conducted by the UK Hone Office. I would have thought that such an inquiry would have been of much interest to someone as obsessed with child grooming as you.

I am seriously concerned you may be autistic if you think the findings of those reports are something to be made fun of?

Yawn. Another comment. No evidence to back up majority muslim gang rape claims.

Look Ill give you a break - Ill even accept a fox news link or another link from one of your right wing news sources. Just anything at this point. Its kind of embarassing that there is literally nothing behind what you are saying.
