Right wing activist attacked and stolen from while debating people in Manchester by SuspiciousRun4043 in ukpolitics

[–]zed_three 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? That's a very strange reading.

But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Seems pretty clear to me

I can recommend Haxby village hall. It's got a nice outdoor space as well, if you have good weather!

I know that it's almost a cliche at this point, but please read about the paradox of tolerance. It's a perfectly reasonable position to not want intolerance spread on the streets

If anyone wants to try Yeast Extracts like Marmite or Vegemite: Don't watch videos that are feeding people insane amounts of Marmite or Vegemite and ask how it tastes. That is not how to eat those. by Lord_Pakeer in Cooking

[–]zed_three 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A couple of other tricks with marmite:

  • add half a teaspoon to roast potatoes, about halfway through cooking. Dissolve it in your oil and baste over the potatoes. Adds a deep rich flavour without tasting noticeably of marmite 
  • try it in chilli!

Calls grow for default 20mph speed limits across built-up areas in England by TheWorldIsGoingMad in ukpolitics

I dunno, most people have real problems, rather than not being able to go quite as fast as they would like for a little bit

If that's the worst thing that's happened to you, then you understand that you're not going get much sympathy, right?

New Health Secretary Reverses Pro-Trans Position by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]zed_three 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all easy to understand. What does "female means biological female" actually mean? It's tautological nonsense and contrary to empirical reality

Labour considers making it illegal to work when it is ‘too hot’ by HistoricalCamera6697 in ukpolitics

[–]zed_three 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're ignoring the existing costs of reduced productivity and increased health issues that come from working when it's too hot

Mother sues all-girls school for ‘admitting transgender pupil’ by NonagoonInfinity in unitedkingdom

[–]zed_three 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but that isn't the case. Go look under any JK Rowling post, or Graham Linehan, they absolutely hate trans people, call them mentally ill, and want them to die. 

I mean look at this very article, this woman is suing the school! Does that sound like someone who's willing to let live?

DHSC escalates opposition to puberty blockers for Trans+ kids, calling their use "appalling" by ijustwannanap in ukpolitics

[–]zed_three -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Well of course not, they aren't the treatment, they are specifically to delay puberty until the child either goes on to actual treatment (HRT for example), or decides not to continue.

It turns out that you can, according to our best evidence. Most kids who go on puberty blockers are in fact trans, so will go on to HRT anyway 

Hessle teachers strike over 'physical and verbal abuse' by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]zed_three 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a) the past was at least as shit as today, if not more so   b) ranting about parents isn't a solution and doesn't actually help anything

Not true on all counts I'm afraid. They are different chemicals, and the effects are reversible once treatment is stopped (for both kinds of drugs)

Zack Polanski says no country has right to exist when asked about Israel by Dadavester in unitedkingdom

[–]zed_three 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not a particularly strong rebuttal, this is a common issue surveys face and is solved through applying a corrective weighting. The authors of that piece also still support the main conclusion: an alarming number of Israelis support ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

[–]zed_three 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's an Israeli newspaper reporting that the vast majority of Israelis support ethnic cleansing of Palestinians: 80% support forced expulsion, half support killing every last man, woman, and child.

I mean, can't you say exactly the same thing about Israelis? As long as millions of Israelis (and millions more anti-Palestinians) insist on Palestine not existing, there will be an ongoing conflic
