rah,

Why not save animals from unsafe/illegal conditions and provide enrichment, without turning the animals into an attraction?

rah,

Zoos act as promotional centers for conservation.

But they aren’t necessary for conservation. Conservation can occur without zoos.

rah,

So you acknowledge that zoos are not necessary for conservation?

rah,

Who’s the To Protect Trans People party, haven’t heard of them?

rah,

How do the people who send the necessary documents know where to send them and to whom?

rah, (edited )

opting in

It’s an offence to refuse to provide your details. It’s compulsory, not optional. I’ve had someone come to my front door and demand I fill in the form.

rah,

there is no law requiring you to register in the UK

You’re talking bollocks.

“What happens if you do not register

You must register to vote if you’re asked to do so and you meet the conditions for registering, for example you’re 16 or over and you’re British or a national of an EU or Commonwealth country.

If you’re asked to register and do not, you could be fined.”

rah,

Christ the British electorate is ignorant beyond belief.

rah,

I won’t be voting.

rah,

Eh?

rah, (edited )

Either vote or shut up.

LOL no.

if you don’t engage in the political system you have no right to complain about it

Why not? I don’t follow.

rah,

Not voting, if you’re otherwise able, is a tacit acceptance for how things are.

I disagree.

vote for someone who’ll replace them, whether you like that option or not.

No.

vote third party next time if they don’t change things to your liking.

No.

Don’t like the political parties? Start one.

LOL no.

Start organising.

No.

But if that’s too much for you, vote.

No.

rah,

Because you have the chance to change things for the better

How?

and if you don’t take that chance but still keep complaining about things then all you are doing is pretending you care

Complaining doesn’t imply caring. If my neighbours keep me up until 2am having parties on school nights and I complain about that, the complaining doesn’t mean I care about anything beyond my own wellbeing.

rah,

Because you’re the sort of person that says “ooh both sides are the same”

You have no idea what kind of person I am. You’re jumping to conclusions.

At least everyone else is trying to improve their lot rather than just moaning about it. Which is you’ve elected to do.

Not voting doesn’t imply not improving one’s lot. I have not elected to not improve my lot.

you are a stubborn jackass

I’m not going to reduce myself to your level by telling you what I think you are.

rah, (edited )

Why would I?

rah,

it’s a part of your duty to vote

ROFL “duty”?!

I’m absolutely astonished that you would come out with such a ridiculous, anachronistic idea. Tell me, what precisely happened in your life that gave you the idea that I owe anyone any kind of duty simply because I was born? Did you watch a Disney movie?

Clearly in your mind there is a logical chain from some starting point to the end point of voting being a duty. I challenge you to write this down in words. To express your idea lucidly and rationally. Convince me. I dare you to try. Do you have it in you? Or can you only embarrass yourself further?

rah,

You might prefer one of the available options.

What options are you talking about?

I asked you why I would vote. The options I see are to vote or not vote.

rah,

You don’t have it in you to express your view then, I see.

rah,

LOL

rah,

No.

rah,

As I understand it, the original impetus was to develop a communication system that was resilient in the case of a nuclear attack.

rah,

Because the world’s problems can’t be solved with money.
