@therealmissjo@Nigel_Farage@TiceRichard@reformparty_uk Worth pointing out that the UK had a referendum on whether to scrap FPTP, which was soundly rejected.
This raised 2 questions:
1. When an issue voted on in a referendum can be revisited.
2. Whether the country actually wants to scrap FPTP or whether this would be rejected again.
@fairyartmother Harness is fine. The wrist strap not so much.
I have a relative who worked in a GPs surgery and it was relatively common for parents to bring in a child who's arm had been injured by them, in some cases actually dislocated.
@Lawton_Times Offensive chants are an unfortunate part of English football culture. Whether it is an English league game or an international one, you are bound to hear one.
@NoContextBrits It's a little sad/unfortunate how much anglophobia seems to be floating around at the moment. Not really sure there is much that can be done to combat it either.
@DailyMirror I think it needs to be pointed out that the Mirror is a tabloid newspaper, prone to exaggeration and sensationalism. Most Brits won't be stressing out at 26c, as we will be too busy enjoying the few weeks of decent weather and getting sunburnt in the process.
@B0xingTony Resorting to crude insults only implies you lack an actual response. I find the topic interesting and like to understand it from different angles sure, but my position still stands; without a means of qualifying something it will inherently be subjective.
@B0xingTony Where is this from? I can only find info about the impact of crime within the affected society. I can't see anything that backs up the claim that the same harm would be caused in a society which does not consider these things wrong, in order to make it an independent quantifier.
@B0xingTony I still don't see how that moves the goalposts? Pretty much a foundation of a moral relativist position is a denial of any universal laws. We
may personally condemn those things, my point remains that we can't truly say they are objective values without a of quantifying it.
@B0xingTony I would define objective as verifiable information based on facts and evidence. How you define it? Not trying to act like anything. Curious to now how I am supposed to have moved the goal post? My point has remained the same: morality can be said to be a subjective reality.
@B0xingTony You suggest that I was saying that these things are good, which I do not. I simply observe that there is no objective/empiricle means to measure morality in the same way you can something like temperature. If you disagree then by what mean would you measure morality?
