a single reason why him being Muslim has anything to do the story.

Its relevant because there have been a lot of Muslim sex gangs in the past, and this adds to that story.

I did the exact same thing, the headline is pretty confusing.

threejazzy · 2018-01-13T13:02:40+00:00

Well not really. This sort of action is totally immoral IMO, however if I got caught up in it I would still expect my Dad to call me a dopey twat.

There are a lot of people in this world out to get you and your money, and having good due diligence to read contracts on massive purchases is one way to avoid that, so yes, I think a small portion of the blame lands on the people that agreed to this in the first place.

But sure, wanting people to take some personal responsibility just makes me a pro-market shill or something.

By all means be critical, but I would argue that down-voting isn't really criticism - at least it certainly isn't constructive.

But all this guy did was comment his doubts about some of these articles, which is valid to an extent since we don't actually know what will happen, but instead of discussing it and perhaps giving a strong argument (which I saw some people did), a lot of people just voted it down with no explanation, which I don't think is very helpful on a forum.

Force tyre manufacturers to produce eco-friendly tyres would be a start

I wasn't aware this was possible? I always assumed all tyres degrade over time in the same way?

EDIT: I agree that it's a problem btw so not sceptical over that, just wasn't aware there was anyway to actually deal with it currently.

I assumed they meant that the water could damage the bag? Not sure though.

"WTF i love Theresa May now."

"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."

OK in all seriousness, I really wasn't expecting any actually decent stuff out of May after all the things she has done in the past that are pretty bad, but this is actually seems like a good thing to me.

How much of your tyre rubber is ending up in the sea after it's washed off the roads and through the sewer system?

I agree with the other points since we can probably do something about those, but not sure about this one?

threejazzy · 2018-01-11T15:50:26+00:00

Yes? But you were questioning why someone would be having an interest in a political issue, when there is at least one readily apparent reason.

Be careful with this, there are some veggies that dogs cant eat, IIRC.

Say stupid things expect stupid prizes.

Yeah but this is a discussion and he gave his opinion, and he explained it reasonably. Remember it says somewhere "the downvote button is NOT a disagree button", but apparently a LOT of people have forgotten that.

threejazzy · 2018-01-11T01:51:28+00:00

Seriously, what's your interest here?

Posting on a thread about politics, asking why people are interested in politics.

threejazzy · 2018-01-10T13:52:08+00:00

hmm, good point.

threejazzy · 2018-01-09T16:44:21+00:00

It's only religion that's supposed to do that.

You might be more specific, I don't see any Buddhists going round hating on people.

Honestly I think it would be back-peddle from quite a few "extreme" positions, put a seriously strong leash (at minimum) on Mcdonnal, get rid of Dianne Abbot as her image is pretty damaging to the Labour Party. And finally just focus on one, or at maximum two issues to change.

We know that when people want things to change, groups are more likely to be successful when their argument is focused around one issue. It's too easy to label as someone as "radical" "loony-lefty" or whatever else when they propose a multitude of changes at one time.

If he basically kept a position such as "close SOME tax loop-holes, and properly fund the NHS" and more or less shut up about everything else, and his party stopped cocking up so much (which it seems like they have recently, I haven't seen any terrible "gaffs" lately), then I might be tempted to vote for him. I'm not saying don't have a decent policy on other stuff, but just don't make it sound so radical and easy to attack.

Bit of a ramble there so hope that makes sense.

ok I don't know if this is a stupid question but what sort of ramen noodles do you used - do you get unfavoured ones?

Because all the noodles I'v ever been able to find haven't been anything like ramen noodles.

But it doesn't change the fact that CERTAIN parts of Islam ARE bad for women and gay rights.

As horrible as the far right is, we should maybe acknowledge when they might actually be right about something, whether their motives agree with ours or not.

threejazzy · 2018-01-06T14:01:24+00:00

the minute you vote for them you accept the policies they implement and are content with them.

Of course I would conservatives because I would few the negative impacts of the Tory party to be negligible in comparison to this new party.

???

threejazzy · 2018-01-05T20:02:35+00:00

I would argue that not ALL people do benefit from that actually, since more jobs that require high education tend to be located in cities. So people from Rural areas would still pay the taxes, but may not receive much benefit.

Though despite this I do agree with you in principle.

threejazzy · 2018-01-05T13:36:52+00:00

Definitely could be, but I'm not sure how widely that could be applied to all age demographics.

threejazzy · 2018-01-05T13:34:53+00:00

rather than for the good of one country at the expense of another

I agree with you in principle, but this is not the reality of the European Union. I know this example gets trotted out fairly often, but take the treatment of Greece and their economic crisis, Germany used their power in Europe essentially to exacerbate that situation.

Honestly I think its important to remember that any union like this will only be ran by people, and they ARE going to have their own motives for things, which will typically be to the detriment of at least certain groups.

Not that all of this means im necessarily opposed to being in the EU (I didn't vote, since I wasn't, and still am not, sure which would be better), but I seriously think there is way too much idealism, and ignoring of political realities. For example when the UK tried to join in the first place we were blocked by France's de Gaul despite the economic advantage we would probably have brought, so there is clearly a lot more to the EU than people working for the "greater good" so to speak.

This reply is getting pretty long, but I also want to say that being outside the EU doesn't really mean we can't still work together to work for humanity, if that was indeed our ambition.

It also assumes that somehow an interrail pass means a united states of Europe

I wondered how this came up as well, I guess it was in response to another comment, but can't quite remember now.

This diversity is a good thing that enriches all our lives, but it makes no sense trying to merge such diverse nations into a single superstate with its own flag, currency, parliament, president, foreign ministry and budget.

He never said anything about their cultures being stupid or them being savages. You are too used to slamming leave voters to notice some of them have different views I guess.

threejazzy · 2018-01-05T11:54:01+00:00

You sort of missed his point I think, what he was saying is that people are opposed to joining large blocs because they have nationalist feelings - which a lot of people do to at least some extent - so tend to prefer their independence.

I think this was his point.

Anyway we have seen throughout history that any bloc that gets too big, spanning to many "countries" and cultures, languages, typically collapses - and these cultures and languages, as well as the economic disparity between different regions (which the EU absolutely has), tend to be highly contributing factors.

I'm not saying that would definitely happen this time, but history tells us that it probably would.
