The general current events discussion thread

[Ooloo]

This is a thread to discuss and debate current events which might not warrant their own dedicated threads.

The topic at hand may shift organically with the daily news. This stimulates conversation and interest. If you're responding to a specific post please quote the relevant sections to preserve context.

Be respectful to each other. We are adults using words to discuss ideas, but blatant insults and vulgarity don't move any conversation forward. Please don't call everyone who might disagree with you a "groomer" or a "nazi". Instead, try to persuade them! Changing minds is hard but not impossible.

We should be able to have interesting and civil conversations about any topic in here, and I think we can!

So you uhhh tax the residents to raise money for housing migrants

Then take that tax money…

And pay it back as a reward to the residents IF they choose to house migrants in their homes?

Would that be how this would work?

Ooloo makes his bid!

Pro-tip: you can groom people to be rational. It's called teaching them numbers and fractions. Old math joke. Reason is = ratio = the ability to see parts and whole, in proportion. Comedy = exaggerating these proportions. Sadly, so does madness.

So, it is not that trannies can't be discussed, or folks with low-N problems, I would imagine, but that we must seek reason in our conversations.

Reason is not always civil, but leads to a type of civility, whereas the civil in and of itself is not always rational. I cast my ballot with reason.

In other news: a Syrian stabbed a bunch of kids in a park in France.

Hey France, you make your bed you lie in it.

Hey that deeply corrupt Supreme Court you've been hearing about?

They just upheld the VRA. :)
