My roommate is a scientologist. He left this packet full of "donation" rates. check out the price of clear... by ScienKnologyin WTF

Isn't Buddhism fairly popular amongst celebrities?

Doctors could be struck off for refusing to give unmarried women contraceptives by GuaranteedDownVotein unitedkingdom

[–]Mashulace 1 point2 points ago

I'd agree if it were just allowing the patient to commit suicide, even just providing them the means to do so; not, as things stand, actively carrying out the act that will end their life.

Government unveils plans to remove benefits from those who refuse treatment for alcoholism or drug dependence by eliasqfuntybuntin ukpolitics

[–]Mashulace 7 points8 points ago

But it is if you're opposed to the organisation for one reason or another (and there are plenty of reasons to be so). I wouldn't attend a group that told me that I had to have "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God", and the government shouldn't be forcing others to do so either.

The difference, as I see it, is in the active party.

In euthanasia, the active party is the doctor. If the doctor disagrees with doing this, fair enough.

In contraception, the active party (i.e. the one using contraception) is the patient.

... a suspected addict is in breach of their commitments if they refuse help for alcoholism or drug addiction.

Hang on, are they not going to at least run tests before taking away someone's sole income?

Also, this all seems to tie into Alcoholics Anonymous; an organisation with cultish undertones and a good dose of religious nonsense mixed in to their program. Refusing to attend such a service should not be grounds for loosing your benefits.

Reading this made my week, thankyou. Sorry again about the little delay, hope you enjoy the game =]

Employment minister Chris Grayling overruled his senior officials to generate anti-immigrant headlines about “benefit tourism” — despite the majority of claimants in a DWP study being British citizens. by weblypistolin ukpolitics

[–]Mashulace 11 points12 points ago

No, people are calling you racist because you're racist. You racist.

Tony Blair and George Bush's phone conversation a week before Iraq invasion 'must be released' by waggawaggain worldnews

[–]Mashulace 2 points3 points ago

That rather reminds me of Robert Newman's History of Oil (specifically 21:50 on)

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that a UK-wide blanket ban on prisoners voting cannot remain in place by God_Wills_Itin unitedkingdom

[–]Mashulace 5 points6 points ago

It's violence against a person.

No, it isn't. At least not without redefining violence, and redefining person.

Violation of the home can feel like rape to some.

That cheapens "rape" a hell of a lot, and besides, since when has subjective feeling been used in justice?

You're scum. Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.

Can anybody explain to me why this is hidden away on BBC news or Sky News and barely being run by any major news networks. by RookieMonsterin ukpolitics

Don't editorialise titles. Removed.

[–]Mashulace 4 points5 points ago

Why burglary? That's a wide enough crime that it seems could range from nicking a couple of DVDs to beating the occupant of a house bloody and running off with their life savings. Seems like a fairly arbitrary point to draw the line.

De-arrest. by themindsetin Anarchism

[–]Mashulace -4 points-3 points ago

If it comes down to your own subjective label, is that label useful at all any more?

Also, that seems a tad offensive to those suffering from ASPD. It's a medical condition one has no control over, after all.

Read Animal Farm in Class... by Purpl3Surrealin fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Orwell was a socialist all his life. It's about Stalinist communism, not socialism.

Man who is Blind, Deaf, Fed through a tube, Requiring 24 hour care is declared fit to work by DWP by ukbirdyin ukpolitics

[–]Mashulace 0 points1 point ago

Clicking that brings up a download for a 51kb file called "default" with no extension, on two separate PCs.

Man who is Blind, Deaf, Fed through a tube, Requiring 24 hour care is declared fit to work by DWP by ukbirdyin ukpolitics

[–]Mashulace 2 points3 points ago

I can fully believe this happened, but does anyone have another source? The links in the article appear to be broken. (one links to an extensionless file called "default", and the other links to an almost-identical post on the same blog.)

"See No Evil" George Monbiot's column on Genocide Denial and back and forth with various intellectuals including Chomsky by brightoncontrarianin ukpolitics

[–]Mashulace 4 points5 points ago

The man's a Linguist first and foremost. He may be arguing semantics, but... well, that's rather his job.

Penn Jillette accuses Obama of class warfare for drug policy, states' rights: "You can get [medical marijuana] in California, and the feds are coming in to try to stop this. States' rights don't mean jack shit to the Obama administration on anything except gay marriage" by mepperin politics

[–]Mashulace -4 points-3 points ago

Real libertarians are socialists. Or did you mean libertarians as the term has been co-opted in America? You don't get to call yourself "real" when you take the term from someone else.

oh, very much so.

To Theists: If gay marriage ruins the sanctity of marriage, how do you feel about married atheists? by winto_bunglein DebateReligion

[–]Mashulace 0 points1 point ago

I was under the impression that Matrimony was the sacrament, not marriage?

Will Britain vote to leave the EU? by chrisjdin ukpolitics

[–]Mashulace 2 points3 points ago

To quote Bakunin, "liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality."

That you think Libertarian and Socialist to be oxymorons only shows you are rather ignorant as to the historical use of the term "libertarian". Before it was co-opted by American Liberals, it was used by Anarchists in Europe, particularly in areas where the term "Anarchism" was banned.

Enjoy. Be warned that even for a VN, it's very long though, and requires you to read two mediocre VNs beforehand.

It's not just the article. The study it's reporting is from a Taxpayers' Alliance mouthpiece too.
