Just met a Reform UK voting couple who didn't know it opposed:
Rise in minimum wage
End of two-child benefit cap
Expansion of free school meals, free breakfast clubs
Help with school uniforms
Horrified that they would lose big from Reform
How many others voted without knowing?
@martinsharman43@SamCKx Under FPTP, if 5 parties stand for election, the winner only needs ~21%.
Then what? Greens win with 21%, and Farage "punishes" in his eyes the entire 100% out of spite, including those who voted Reform because he truly doesn't care about people or law or democracy, just hate.
@shirotora84@CobaltEternity@wynrosei I think that is right, yes.
But when you reduce "All men could be a threat to women" to as short a phrase as possible, you arrive at the catchy slogan "All men" and that sticks as a comment shorthand phrase. We know what it means.
@CobaltEternity@wynrosei That's sort of the point.
Literally, not all men are a threat.
But at present, any man could be a threat and so women have to act as though all men are a threat until proven otherwise.
As men we have to realise that we present an unknown threat to women.
@itzblackdoll@CBHeresy Only God can forgive them, but even that isn't absolution from the earthly consequences of their actions.
Being forgiven of sin doesn't mean being free of legal consequences.
The moral action under Christianity is to confess wrongdoing and accept the legal penalty.
@AndrewB95142494@danbarker@PolitlcsUK My point is that there is a time and place for both.
Yes, I agree, and I am glad there are people who take the opposing position to mine so that we can discuss and seek the middle ground best case scenario.
@AndrewB95142494@danbarker@PolitlcsUK When the charity provides sufficiently more than the person requires to the point that the person is better off not getting a job as the job is worse off than the charity - only so far as the job does not put the person into a position where they still require charity.
@AndrewB95142494@danbarker@PolitlcsUK If someone simply chooses not to work a job that is available for them, there is no command to feed them.
However if they do not work, or work a job with insufficient pay, and become hungry, then there is a command to feed the hungry no matter the reason for their hunger.
@AndrewB95142494@danbarker@PolitlcsUK You are half right.
There is no obligation to provide for the idle who could but choose not to provide for themself. However, when they are unable to provide for themself, they become the poor and the hungry who Jesus did command His followers to meet the needs (not wants) of.
