We had a pact!

Democracy, what a concept.

Welfare in this country, like all other SOE type initiatives, is a huge problem.

The government doesn't create jobs, especially not for any other colour than black, think I am being racist, please go review the BEE policies, it will explain everything.

I think because there is no work, more and more people have to depend on the grants, once you do this, the government has control, in 1996 there were ± 3M people grants being paid, now it is almost 30M.

That should worry a lot of people.

The injunctions against it are pretty strong, even if they are broken sometimes. Certainly Hunter's actions are egregious. I think you're just an asshole atheist who thinks her shit doesn't stink.

“Next item on the list: How can we send our kids to space?”

I was young back when they called it the Greenhouse Effect. The shortsightedness of the whole thing still astounds me.

That's not really a viable strategy, a liberal arts degree is going to be missing the vast majority of high level math and science prerequisites for a lot of STEM programs, and not teach any of the entry level specialized prereqs and would add years to the program. You can't just get a degree in whatever and then shotgun an entire 4 year STEM program at the end of it, it doesn't work that way. Not to mention how valuable getting involved with the professors and in the educational community can be for kickstarting your professional networking and opening opportunities.

In that situation they'd be far better off just going to a community college with a decent program for whatever they want, getting their associates in the relevant field, and transferring into a 4 year program from there.

Which hypotheticals aside, is entirely the point - you can't just assume someone is an entitled, wasteful brat for pursuing a specific educational path instead of the one that just happens to be "free." Hell, maybe they don't want to go to college at all and want to pursue a trade? Supporting your kid in their chosen field is not "indulgent permissive parenting," it's supporting your kid.

Isn't the carbon footprint a whole ass made up idea from ExxonMobil in the first place?

Never trust activism that originates, and is maintained by, the industry it claims to be criticizing.

Else you'll be supporting narratives written by the responsible parties as they pass the blame to anyone they can make you believe is more culpable, including yourself.

The head of BP is the main backer (and is on the board) of the activist groups ran by Greta's family. But instead of having a conversation with him, she's screaming at politicians about a stolen future? That stolen future, and one of the people most responsible for stelaing it, paid for her entire "activist" experience the last few years.

Oh puhlease, you are saying like the religious don't regularly come up with all sorts of nonsense to defile the corpses of the dead, especially if the dead were their enemies.

You are just an asshole desperate for any thin straw to take potshots at atheists, let's not pretend otherwise.

More Jesus-y than before!

Also, he hung out with sex workers. He would have understood the importance of shock value to advertise.

>s 13 years of mismanaged free healthcare by a government that has actively tried to dismantle the good parts of free healthcare.

You are not going to pretend that the NHS was becoming unaffordable as population went down?

I'm a social worker and this is just stupid.

>ODNI said in its report that efforts to destigmatize reporting and emphasize that the objects may pose a threat likely contributed to the additional reports.

Essentially, there are new craft and new technologies available to more people at lower costs, and we have a lot of enemies. If you see something in the sky or in the water or driving around on the ground, report it. Nobody is going to call you a kook unless you insist it was aliens who abducted you to do butt stuff.

>Whittock says he gets mistaken for the royal "every single day" and that, as a lookalike, he gets worried when Harry "faces a sudden increase in security threats." > >According to princeharrylookalike.com Rhys Whittock has been mistaken for the popular Royal Prince, Harry, for many years. As well as his obvious facial resemblance, Rhys has the same red hair and is almost identical in height, build and age. > >Encouraged by friends and family, Rhys entered Easyjet's #YourRoyalLikeness competition to find the best Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lookalikes in Europe. The competition received more than 3,000 applications and the finals were held in London one week before the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Rhys was voted by an expert panel of judges to be the winner.

The JCU is starting.

Wow, this blew up!

Whole life, but it's all been for this moment.

Because a dolly accidently killed it. For real? Sounds petty to me, I seriously doubt anyone intended on killing an innocent animal.

Why run someone who would threaten boomer supremacy when you'll vote for Biden anyways?

A Hawk killed a pigeon in our garden last week.

It was a completely white one too. Absolutely insane massacre all over the place.

I'm not arguing against regulation at all; I'm only noting how attempts to regulate can go wrong. In this case, we wanted to protect severely allergic people but ended up making their lives more difficult. And I'm not sure that it is correct to say "the products made by such a bakery would have been unacceptable for someone with a sesame allergy", because I'm not aware that sesame-allergic people were having allergic reactions to these products in the past (I'm not saying they weren't, only that I don't know that they were.) It's out of a cautionary principle that regulations concerning cross-contamination arose, not, I am thinking, out of empirical evidence of a certain number of cases of allergic reaction per unit of population. You're right that it is a good thing that people can now weigh the risks accurately, but that doesn't change the fact that, by including sesame in products that previously didn't have any, companies have actually increased the risks of inadvertent allergic reaction and reduced the number of products that sesame-allergic people have to choose from. Further, I'm not saying that the companies have done anything wrong. Rather, I'm saying the situation is very much like that of the cobra bounty in India (the so-called cobra effect.) Such effects point to the largely ignored issue of the effectiveness of legislative endeavors, however well-intentioned.
