Oh zeker, we moeten die corruptie tegengaan. Wel denk ik dat teveel mensen zich zorgen maken om de bijstandsmoeder (die er achteraf geen blijkt te zijn) per ongeluk teveel te betalen, terwijl achter hun ruggen om er miljardairs geld wegsluizen en belasting ontduiken. Daar valt veel meer in te behalen voor de algemene burger. Nederland is en zal een egalitair land moeten blijven.
Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state on Wednesday in a historic move that drew condemnation from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland....
Afaik both of them. It’s very good that they do this, more governments should follow, and more people should rally together to do this.
In my country on the other hand, the people are solidly pro-Palestine, but the government is way too Israel-oriented.
My own view is that ideally, both countries should be recognised and Israel should retreat from all West Bank and Gazan territories, as well as the Golan heights.
Een nieuw kiesstelsel zou destructief zijn en iets waar we op moeten protesteren. Het toornt aan het stemrecht van eenieder. NEEN.
Zelfs als alle maatregelen die ze wilden invoeren “oké” waren, tegen fascisten zeg je altijd NEE.
Dat Omtzigt überhaupt met hun samen wil werken getuigt van zijn gebrek aan wilskracht om dáádwerkelijk voor de democratie op te staan. Tegen terroristenboeren en extreemrechtse blonde politici is slechts één antwoord mogelijk: opzouten.
Er zit geen hoop in dit programma, enkel veel waanzin en nationalisme
Ik hoop dat de EU er alles aan doet om dit tegen te gaan. Fuck NSC, fuck VVD, voor het afbreken van de democratie, fuck BBB voor hun terroristenboeren, en fuck de PVV voor hun radicaalrechtsheid.

Conservatism at its core is ‘just’ wanting to keep the status quo. Which itself is imho already pointless, but it’s not too bad.
It however, is not reactionary.
These people are reactionary to the mediaeval extent. But we preach to the choir. Try getting those people who themselves believe in those ideas, that they don’t work…
Suppose someone hired a private detective to gather as much personal information as they possibly could on an individual, with the sole purpose of getting back at the individual by having everything about them publicly known....
when you can reasonably narrow it down to a handful, say a group smaller than say, 25 people. At least, EU laws state that in such circumstances, you shouldn’t share. This is because then any random person could be able to go off addresses or such, and find them.
For example, with naming sites, putting up the most common names - fine. Really rare names? Nope.
But then also, what if you have one thing that’s common, and another that’s also common, and together, you can narrow it down to a small group?
Then I’d also say: don’t tell the common thing you wanted to share.
Furthermore: there should be consent. The right to be forgotten or at least stay anonymous should be important.
So:
i)do not share specific information that could narrow them down to a group smaller than 25 people,
ii)if sharing common information, combined with earlier known common-ish information, will narrow them down, don’t share.
iii)if the person themselves (and verifies such) shares identifying info within a specific group, information should stay within that group, and only be shared upon agreement with the person.
The only exception imo would be for suspects fleeing a life-threatening/socio-economically extremely ruining crime scene they created. Think stab murders, million-fraudsters, and people harassing minorities. But even then: no name-leaking, address leaking, or photos. Only appearance and behavioral characteristics - only things that will help arrest them, while also giving them a chance to better their life later after. Only when this fails to find the suspect, should that information also be shared, against the person’s consent.
These rules should apply to everyone, regardless of whether they are celebrities or not.
Difference is that my saying is based on a historically vested principle, simple as: one man, one vote. Instead of: your vote doesn’t count, only the oligarch’s does.
I’ve been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal’s no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I’m writing here....
Neither because I don’t have a cat, and a stranger first, because they are human too. Saving both is the goal, but first I’d save the stranger, then the cat, and depending on how bad they are, the worst enemy. If that enemy did only a bit of bullying, save. If that enemy is likely to not do anything good back, and has caused suffering, no saving.
Yeah, you’re right. I find it strange that people here literally would prefer to save a cat over a human. Would they really let their friend burn over a cat? A stranger who likely has done nothing except work and be generally kind to others? I think that they who let the stranger burn, then have worse morality.
The question is bad because it features an animal the person is assumed to have a band with, and a stranger. I think a better example would be:
That’s surprising. I own a bicycle too, as does practically everyone here. Never got it stolen.
A tip is to not have an expensive looking bicycle, but one that looks shoddy. Locking can also happen in multiple ways, and at different places. You might need to bind it to a street light for example, through the wheel and the frame.
