Maybe this can help explain it https://youtu.be/FK4RHzNHZXY?si=f8lGXy11J7ID6Sll

Do you know what an analogy is?

In the broad term I very much favour them. But when you actually read up on it a lot, like I have, the broad term loses its meaning and I always wonder what people actually mean by it when they say it.

Article 16.3

The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

I disagree that the family is the fundamental group unit of society.

Article 25.2

Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

I feel discriminated that motherhood and not fatherhood are entitled to special care.

There are many variations of human rights declarations. I oppose this one the most: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Declaration_on_Human_Rights_in_Islam

There are also specific articles in the universal declaration of human rights that I think are wrong

You’re correct, my bad

Wasn’t making fun of you, just agreeing with you and telling you my fix

I’m not American so maybe I’m getting something wrong… But aren’t you making a faulty assumption about people having a plan at all? Isn’t the amount of completely uninsured in the us in the double digits or something?

You say that like it’s not supposed to say over 2.5k. Making any price under something makes it seem cheap. And let’s not forget that the majority in the US don’t have 1k in their bank at the end of the month.

Yeah, I have Wikipedia saved to a portable hard drive… Just in case

What you need is proportional representation like most countries have

No, that is a problem but not the biggest. The biggest is energy cost. And in reality brine is just watered down salt, just dry it some more and you have something more to sell

I’m fine with calling it X. The Twitter brand had value, X doesn’t

I’m going to need a source for “the most stable democracy in the world” part

I can’t find a single source that ranks the US above Canada on quality of life. You got any kind of source for that that isn’t anecdotal?

As an older fellow who was probably looking at internet porn (image loaded line by line) before you were born. Y’all kids need to learn how to use the Web browser and how to type the URL to porn sites. Once you learn this you’ll have all the porn in the world avaliable for free in a few seconds when you want it. And also learn how to use incognito mode

Why not both?

Edit: Didn’t see that it was also a question of which is the greater problem. Overlooking is the greater problem.

You probably should do that to preserve democracy and protect yourself and your country, but you’re not going to. Instead what you’ll see is them coming for group after group and first throwing them in prison and then concentration camps. You’ll try to debate them and vote them out while they methodically kill you, thereby increasing their power.

It’s the same pattern as always. If I were in the US I’d do everything to flee while I still could.

Lowering the quality of education is something that the right always does, everywhere in the world, when they come into power. It’s a long term investment for them to stay or get back into power.

Education level is strongly correlated with political leaning so it’s a smart move from them to attain their goals (which isn’t making the country better).

Yeah, I just checked it out and it’s not my cup of tea. It seems like I align with them on much of their critique on a lot of stuff but I’m not in support of their endorsements (like the CCP). I also don’t like those kinds of memes and find the blending of serious discussions and (what I think is) juvenile memes to be off putting.

I saw both the best (well argued and sourced) and worst (denial of Ughurs genocide and the state of Taiwan) comments on that instance.

I’m not going back there though, I’m too old and tiered to have those kinds of discussion in an environment that is hostile to opposing views on certain topics.
