Who will define 'disabled', Coito ergo sum?

In my country, addiction is considered a disability and thus protected under Human Rights. 'Gangsta-pants' need only drink and drug more to qualify.

False choice.

For example - you could reduce the free money given to anyone convicted of criminal involvement in the recent riots and related crimes.
And, if that is not enough for basic food, clothing, and rent? What if that just makes them more unhappy and prone to riot? Could require some tough decisions.


I was simply pointing out your logical fallacy.

I suggest an e-petition to criminalize white collar crime to the extent that this rioting and looting has been.
White collar crime is already seriously criminalised. Are you familiar at all with penalties for such crimes?

It is money to be spent on bread and circuses to keep the plebs from rioting. This is known from the times of old. Salt or assault. If you can't afford salt disband the legions and emigrate. :tup:

Are you proposing a society without "money"?

Ah, yes, got it.

To be honest, no. I was thinking of the number of convictions. I don't see all that many.

There's what's against the law, and then there's crimes. I'm thinking of cases in the US where banks gave out loans on nothing more than the word of the person that they could afford it, and then sold that debt as some kind of safe investment. They didn't break the law, but I'm hard pressed to say it wasn't a crime.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

You love it don't you, you fucking B.N.P supporting shit.
Of course he loves it, as he feels he's being proven correct.
Well, it does still sadden me even though I know it is inevitable. The BNP have warned of this potential problem for years, and by ignoring them the potential problem gets worse and worse.

Warren Dew wrote:Tyrannical is an admitted white nationalist; why would he not support the BNP?
Indeed.
Though I've found Marine Le Pen and the French Front National a bit more promising these days. Can't ignore the gains made by the Swiss People's Party either.

I'm not a supremest, or a Nazi or anything like that though. I just beleive that ethnic tensions are inevitable under multiculturalism. I certainly don't want race riots, I just want the various races to be able to live peacefully together on the planet. It's just not possible in the same country.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
