Liberals: Hey we should get rid of guns

(idiocy in) politics 

I've mostly turned my back on politics as I got annoyed too much about IMO bad choices.
If you're very charitable, you could say "we didn't think of that"/"that's an unintended side-effect"/etc.

Enter "The market for emission rights"
where if you want to emit more, you have to buy additional rights to do so.

A company (Schiphol) did exactly that and now the politician's are up in arms:
"it's like the wild west where the person with the most money can do what they want"

> Is there really no limit to politicians stupidity and idiocy?

politicians are the bottom of the barrel of society, what do you expect :)

I've made it a policy to boycott any business that goes cash-free.

"To Visa, a cashless culture means convenience ..."

As the rest of the world seems to only care for 'convenience' (and have no problems giving up any and all (human) rights for it), I wonder how long I can stick to that policy 🙄

This is Fonzie. Fonzie is a 2 month old Basset who has joined the family next door. I have seen him step on his own ear and and trip up, and you should pity me because nothing else will ever be cute again.

Bloodhound for scale 😂

@Tilopa@convo.casa @zleap i know perfectly well what i am talking about. i'll of course respect your request to disengage :)

have fun beating all those weaker souls for the greater good!

@Tilopa@convo.casa @zleap
water-tight reasoning skills!

you argue that trump is evil for whatever he might have said about whatever minority.

at the same time you argue that beating someone weaker than and entrusted to you, is the right way to "correct" behavior.

i have seen much double thought in my days, but this is really a prime specimen of a fried mind.

.. and now we are on to name calling, you even deleted and repost for that joke! :)

@zleap @Tilopa@convo.casa
you know that this doesn't work, right?

it will achieve though that the kid just hides the "evil" better next time, and that it learns that beating others on made up rules - because anything not in direct defense is made up - is ok. effectively being the same as just beating for fun.

consequences - of course there should be consequences to shit behavior. beating is literally the most bullshit way achieving nothing.

also don't lie to yourself, everyone gets a hard-on beating others. power to inflict pain is the favorite drug of the ego, all the better if you can justify it to yourself doing it.
