  • It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes

    On an individual basis sure, but this still poses two problems:

    1. Is there a group of people that typically vote a certain who are prone to having more children than other groups. Due to different cultures, this is likely true.
    2. Why should parents of children get an extra vote over those who can’t have children? Personally I feel that having had children should bear no influence on the power of your voice.



  • Whilst I don’t want to argue about whether the appreciation of people in your life should be encouraged by a celebration day, I would like to point out that holidays aren’t specific to appreciating people . They can also be for appreciating things , such as natural phenomenon.

    Personally I’d prefer winter and summer type celebrations on the equinox and solstice than Christmas and a seemingly random (in my country) public holiday at a point in the summer where it isn’t that warm anymore.




  • Okay.

    I guess in the same way you found my comment to be for no reason, I also found yours to be the same.

    IMO, your comment wasn’t really on topic. They asked a question about why it happens to them, and you replied that it never happens to you. How is that on topic?

    I did find it interesting that it doesn’t happen in the US, I was just checking that you were just making a comment about your own experience, and not to help answer the ops question. That’s cool, and I was just checking.

    I hope you have a nice weekend:)











  • I wonder if it’s calling communists ‘commies’ that some may take offense to.

    To my ear, this is sort of a slur in that I’ve only really ever heard it when some army guy is shouting ‘god damn commies’ or the like.

    Just a disclaimer, I don’t have particularly strong feelings for either a communist or capatalist structure. I think shitty people tend to gather power so most of us are just taken advantage of in either scenario.
