OT: Silliest things on Ebay

You do talk s**te. I just explained to you, I'm acting on evidence, your favourite little passtime.

"Evidence based policies" WTF does that buzzword even mean? You talk absolute twaddle. You should be a politician yourself. Listening to anyone left wing in government, they just go on and on and never actually make a point. They just wave their arms about. Right wing just does things.

I don't want equal rights, because people aren't equal.

You must have even better smaller parties. We have about ten, in both directions.

As with Jews, it's based on evidence, your favourite little topic. Every f****ng Irishman I've had the misfortune to meet is an illiterate innumerate no good wanker.

You are making bigoted claims based on your biases. You want a free pass. Not granting it.

Policies based on evidence. Studies. Things which can be shown to work. Things like reduction of teen pregnancy and abortion. We have evidence as to what works. Same with gun laws to some extent. Not that the Democrats do it perfectly -- FAR FROM -- but they do it better than the Republicans.

You think evidence is "twaddle". Sure.

They right wing tends to stick together more. They are more authoritarian so that makes sense.

I do want equal rights... which is not the same as equal outcomes.

Our system is set up to shut them out. It is insane.

Your claim of evidence is utter bullshit you will never support. I do not accept your FEELINGS. I do not accept your bigotry. You want a free pass to say bigoted things. You might get it -- likely will from conservatives -- but not from me. Not going to attack you or be cruel to you in any way, but will not pretend your bigoted, feelings-based nonsense is an evidence based, rational view.

But that's what we have with the government. If there was no government, and some rich folk tried to take control, others of us could fight back. But you can't fight the government, they're a monopoly with arms.

Neither of those things should ever be protected.

Which would be cheaper, easier, and fun.

Because those who vote left wing think donating is good, so why would they stop?

And donate to charity. For example in the UK,the life boats are not government funded, but they still run. The RSPCA (animal protection) is also a charity, it still runs.

They vote left wing to get benefits. If I'm wrong, the above would work.

Stop using big words to sound clever.

No, rich folk never received benefits.

I do not believe I should get. But if they're willing to throw away money I'll take it.

No, they believe in every man for themselves.

What?

Why would I waste effort dismissing the obviously stupid?

I'm not even going to bother looking that up.

I'm still not going to look that up.

It's a big complicated mess. Even so called proportional representation just makes it more complicated. They should simply have one vote for one voter. Whoever gets the most votes is in power, or has that proportion of power.

Party A gets 40 million votes. Party B gets 30 million votes. Party C gets 20 million votes.

The only sensible ways are either:

Party A gets in power absolutely.

Or all parties get to vote on everything, with a ratio of 4:3:2.

I'm making observations and stating facts. Why do you call that bigotry? Jews are the weakest link and they get upset when the big boys bully them.

Best to just get on with things rather than "study" them.

You do, with respect to Jews being mean theives.

No, left wing is authoritarian. They want to control everything. Right wing wants to let people do things themselves, let companies rule the country instead of the government.

Why isn't it?

It's mainly the stupid tactical voters shutting them out.

Do you or do you not admit Irish are thick?

You offer a false premise. You are stating your views and what you see as facts, and those things are filtered though bigotry.

This is an example of that.

I like facts. Evidence.

You make a bigoted claim here.

Incorrect.

Nope.

This is clearly untrue.

There is no mechanism to make one lead to the other.

More than that.

I do not agree with bigoted claims.

It is an observed truth. Just because they got beaten in the war, they won't stop going on about it.

Why study politics? It's just people being stupid. Study something worthwhile like science.

It's an observation of reality. They sue people to make money by claiming to be poor little picked on folk.

That's utter bullshit. Left (in your country that's democrats) are all for controlling everything and providing for the people. Right (in your country that's republicans) are all for free will.

I don't see the difference between the two. Point out your subtlety.

It is observed. I have known many Irish.

Your intuition... which is not reliable or accurate or based on any evidence. It is based on your bigoted lens.

As seen though a bigoted lens.

It is a fact they lost the war. It is a fact they don't stop moaning about it. no lens used.

As seen through your bigoted lens. Sure.

You're cut and pasting like those 2 digit IQ Indians.

And not making any sense either. Stupid is not subjective. It is entirely measurable. For goodness sake they fought against themselves in a war.

There is really nothing to add: you claim groups are X, but your only evidence is your subjective intuition. Even if there are trends in a group it does not apply to all. You generalizations are there to put others down to feel better about yourself. That is largely what bigotry is.

The stupidity of others. To make up for the money stolen from me in taxes to pay for others.

Find the part in

You have yet to provide a sensible response to my:

You're not even speaking English anymore. You sound like a politician.

That is a very vague statement, does it have anything to do with our discussion?

No, communicate in normal everyday English.

I agree, the latter makes more sense. B and C could be similar parties with regards to some policies.

That is a very pessimistic and unrealistic way of looking at things. I opt to be thankful for the assistance of others when I get it, and appreciate that I live FAR better than I would if I lived on a deserted island. It is simply a fact we all do.

Does not mean I approve of how taxes are collected or spent. Lots of room for improvement... but I do not like playing victim as you describe.

"Commentators [have commented on how she] failed to recognize its importance in human life."

To me that matters.

The answer is simple: this assumes any one person is going to know the needs that can be seen only on a broad scale, and that people in general will put themselves at a competitive disadvantage. Doing so means they will, on average, do less well and you will have those least willing to help doing the best financially. This leads to human suffering and at the extreme to slavery. I do not back that in any way.

We all benefit... we can all be required to give some back assuming we are in a position to do so. There is nothing immoral about that.

You simply want to hand wave things away based on your emotion / intuition. You are not secure enough with your ideas to actually test them, or look to the evidence to see if they are supported.

The term "ad hominem" is common.

Right. No more worrying about splitting the vote.

In the US, home owners get government support for their mortgage interest.

As we do here if we are unemployed for a long time. Rent or mortgage interest, seems fair. If you become unemployed for three years, and you have a larger mortgage, why should you have to move house?

No, here it is even if you have a great job and more money than you know what to do with you get housing assistance in that way... meanwhile I know a woman with MS who is in a wheelchair and diapers and has a failing mind who just got evicted because there was no assistance for her.

There is nothing subjective in observing Irish stupidity.

They managed to achieve independence. How is Scotland doing these days?
