Random Politics & Religion #14

but I do think this will be the most polite instance.

News I guess is just you know whatever we agree with and want to be true so we will just believe that... I don't think anyone really cares about the truth lol...

I don't think anyone really cares about the truth lol...

It's not in the Civil Rights Act. It is in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

we care a lot!!!!

Mike Patton 4 President 2020!!

It's weird how you identify the band with Patton though it was Chuck Mosley who was the original front man/lead singer in the We Care A Lot video. Fun Fact: Courtney Love was the frontman to Faith Mo More before Mosley.

Keep mind that this is right to not be arrested or killed due to political affiliation or identity. Has nothing to do with denial of commercial services. In this instance, denial of free clothing based on political affiliation.

Happened in Florida.

So does the facts I don't like. And the flat-out lies. And the news that's heartwarming but ultimately irrelevant. And the story about that one guy who, oh man, did you see what he can do with a coke can?

Yeah. Social media is *** ***and we're all guilty of playing along. Every last one of us. Because even those who don't use the services directly see the quotes and screenshots in news, blogs, etc. and respond to it, thereby partaking.

Shouldn't indulge them on their "Lügenpresse" rhetoric.

Things are getting eerily cyclical.

I tried to delete my Facebook but they said they knew where my family lives...so I still have it.

The consistent references to Nazi Germany is a bit annoying.

I wonder if I could use this strategy to track down people who have gone missing!

"I'm going to delete Facebook."

"We know where your sister lives. Don't *** with us."

"Really? Can you give me her address? *** skipped town owing me a bundle."

A “feminist” strategy for clearing the roads of snow in Stockholm ended in failure as the city ground to a halt in recent days.

A new system, suggested by progressive politicians in the Swedish city, tore up tried and tested snow plow routes and diverted them to areas said to be used more by women.

But the inevitable consequence was that other spaces – like main roads – were clogged up for longer, and it became impossible to get around.

Public transport failed, traffic piled up and injuries requiring a hospital visit reportedly spiked.

The disaster struck despite a $270,000 increase in this year’s snow removal budget meant to help the new system succeed.

The “gender equal” strategy came in last year after politicians in the Swedish Green Party argued that the old way of clearing major roads in central areas favours men, who are more likely to work in the city, and get there by car.

Instead, the plows were sent to clear out sidewalks and cycle paths – on the basis that women walk and bike often. They also focused on areas like kindergartens, which children and parents visit in the morning.

Unfortunately, the theory did little to save Stockholm when a bumper snowfall hit at the end of last week.

Indeed, almost a week later buses are still struggling to run, and some 1,700 public transport passengers are planning to sue.

Progressive politicians have gone on the defensive, with the MP who suggested it claiming that the snow plows hadn’t executed the “gender-equal” plan properly.

Despite efforts to defend it, the plan has become a laughing stock.

Even liberal publications like Stockholm’s Dagens Nyheter published this mocking listicle of “9 alternatives to feminist snow removal”, including Satanic snow removal (“melt the snow with burning crosses”) and Neoliberal snow removal (“the invisible hand of the market will move it”).

This one's for Fone:
