Amisja replies on Mar 4, 2019:

@ToolGuy My understanding of socialism is not the same as yours. When I lived in USA, most people suggested Socialism equalled communism which it certainly does not. My great-grandparents were communists. I believe in public ownership for most public services, education, healthcare, prisons, defence, housing and infra-structure. I believe in fair and effective taxes. If you benefit from said public services, you contribute to them. The more you benefit, the more you contribute. I do not believe in state religion, monarchy or an upper house based on inheritance. I do not believe that nuclear weapons should be held as a deterrent against global war on this little land. I believe that decent jobs should be paid decent incomes and that people in work should not have to rely on benefits to support a basic standard of living. I believe the disabled should not be punished because they exist, same goes for the elderly. I believe we are missing an opportunity to deliver extensive green energy, especially considering the windiest place on earth sits in the North Sea. I believe that 1% of the population holding all the wealth is absolutely abhorrent. There is no reason for such greed. I believe that people who do not contribute should be encouraged to do so, but I accept that a small number (Alan Greenspan suggested 6% for a nation to remain healthy), will not. This is the burden of a meritocracy. I believe in fair and open immigration, I believe that as our native birth rate diminishes then we will need our fellow globe citizens to help us. I believe in being a member of the EU and everything that means for myself and my children. I believe that every single human being has the right to a free and open adult relationship with the person of their choice, I believe they have the right to express their sexuality and their gender in whatever way gives them the most joy. I believe that children should be protected and absolutely placed at the centre of all we do. I believe in rehabilitating criminals and helping them understand the affects of their crimes. I believe in second chances. I do not believe in prisons for non-violent offenders. I personally do not indulge in any illicit substances, but I believe that the harm caused by some drugs would be eradicated if society managed their supply rather than people who want nothing other than to make money. I believe that personal happiness has now and never has been linked to lots of money. I have none and I am perfectly happy. I totally understand the pull of the market and its forces, I understand that one year people can make millions on toys that twiddle round and they be worthless the year after. I am not fundamentally opposed to people making money. However no person lives in isolation, We all benefit from the ...

I totally agree with you

I find this so freeing, like finding out my boss is on leave ;)

People get confused because their dog and mum give a fuck. Try not feeding either for a week and then see where you stand in their eyes.

Amisja replies on Mar 1, 2019:

This is why being an older human is pooey.

Try using the time to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. My ultrascan chappie was very delighted at my bladder evacuation capability. A fact that I attributed to several years of exercising. Oh and don't drink so much liquid the night before or else we'll start calling you pisspot!

Friends and I have been discussing reparations. What do others think?

Pedrohbds comments on Mar 1, 2019:

If you pay reparations for a country that is not organized it will only scale up corruption and nothing will change. And most of those places are so deep down on chaos that it is impossible to help at this point. Send money is just feed swiss back accounts. Make your companies pay the same salaries...

Amisja replies on Mar 1, 2019:

Reparations should be paid to individuals.
