I mean, the death penalty would be better, but this would be a good start.

I certainly wasn’t meaning to imply it was, I just suggested it might be useful not to assume that lesser known slurs could be referred to euphemistically without causing confusion.

A friend is a volunteer firefighter in Collegeville, PA. A neighbouring service let a guys house burn to the ground as he’d refused to subscribe. They just protected neighbouring properties. Guy sued and lost as the judge noted that nobody would pay if they were covered anyway.

Evil is coming, for sure. I don’t personally think being squeamish about the terminology is very helpful when combating it. I’m “woke” and I wasn’t sure what you were referring to.

I think it’s unhelpful to not spell out what you’re talking about. I had to look up what you were referring to. I’m not going to use it here in case I’m horribly misinformed, but I don’t think I’m going to be unusual in assuming its use is unwarranted, inappropriate, but nowhere near the N slur?

I had that same case in the same colour. Possibly still do?

There's lots of regulatory agencies that we used to pay a share of that we now need to pay for in their entirety. That alone probably eats far more cash than the entire "saving".

I don't know if you've noticed, but the military threat from Russia is not exactly merely theoretical right now.

I'd love to agree, but you know what. Ukraine gave up all their nukes in return for a promise that the US and EU (inc. UK) would look after them. See how that's gone?

Thank you!

Good to know, thank you! Will need to devote some time when I get a chance.

I don’t do this but it’s a brilliant idea and I think I’m going to start.
