I hate the way the term 'biological sex' has been weaponised to mean the exact opposite of what science tells us.

You get a range of differences in genes, hormones and genitalia that mean not everyone falls cleanly into male or female groups, many completely unaware of those differences.

Or focus groups.

The problem with chasing opinion rather than trying to lead according to values is if youre prepared to believe anything then you really believe in nothing.

I wish someone had asked which other countries she sees as a good model to follow.

What she describes sounds more like Cuba or North Korea than e.g. Sweden, Norway or even Venezuela.

And those that consider themselves great thinkers are usually the ones least likely to think critically about their own pet theories.

That's why Zack stand out in my book, he's not afraid to discuss his position, and can stand up for what he believes without getting personal.

Even making those who avoid tax exempt from support would be a start.

Western capitalism.

Privatise the profits and socialise the losses.

I get why we do it. But it should formalised in the form of something like a national business insurance, so you can only claim bankruptcy or ask for govt support if you've actually contributed.

You justify those who lied,

As soon as you say it's okay to debate whether a certain group has the right to be treated fairly, you're admitting it's okay to consider treating some groups unfairly, can't you see that?

Not necessarily the church, but the decline of all social places where we meet people who have different views.

The pub, the park, the library, dance class, social clubs, etc etc

The only reason immigration is dividing this country is because politicians want to blow dog whistles rather than try and deal with underlying problems of inequality and austerity, cos that would be hard and not popular with their donors.

They do put a lot of emphasis on working with UN, which needs reforming as much as NATO does.

We need closer defence ties with Europe and less reliance on US. The greens oddly enough are more likely to achieve that than traditional parties.
