rah,

had the mains water analysed for chemical and biological contamination

Can I ask how you go about doing that? I may want to test some water soon.

Pope approves blessings for same-sex couples if the rituals don't resemble marriage (apnews.com)

Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it....

rah,

more equivalent legally

This is a straw man. The pope’s decision is about a religious issue, not a legal issue.

rah,

adaptation to modern times of the scriptures

The scriptures don’t adapt, only their interpretation.

rah,

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

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,

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

rah,

So you acknowledge that zoos are not necessary for conservation?

rah,

Zoos act as promotional centers for conservation.

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

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, (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,

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

rah,

Eh?

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,

I won’t be voting.

rah, (edited )

Why would I?

rah,

No.

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,

LOL

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,

Christ the British electorate is ignorant beyond belief.
