Usually it's one of these big things were some comedy fuckwit pops up out of the shadows and starts arguing the petty toss about how their racism (or any other prejudice) is scientifically fine, so it's not really unusual.

big scary monsters posted:What is it that makes the UK require nuclear weapons when few other countries in Europe do? Are they just relying on British and French nukes to keep them safe? I'm sure that Finland or Germany could build up a nuclear arsenal if there were the will to do so, but I don't think they've ever shown any signs of wanting to. I choose those two because they both have nuclear power, and seem like they'd be under considerably more threat than the UK from hypothetical Russian aggression, but really the same applies to most countries in Northern Europe. Illusions of grandeur, basically.

Fans posted:Ah found his recent comments on it off the tail of legal Medical Marijuana. The difference is that the other candidates veer towards the tried-and-tested "did it as a reckless youth, but now I'm grown up and mature..." line, whilst Corbyn is keen to press for a measured approach in light of his apparent lack of knowledge or experience about the drug. You might say that it's a window into his way of doing things generally.

Regarde Aduck posted:They can't talk about immigration because the left has no answers. Well it has two. A) Outright support because to not support it would be racist and also its the opposite of what the fascists want so it must be good? Yeah? Ok that's that sorted. B) Ignore it. They are currently operating under mode B. It's the sort of thing they could jump in and pull it into austerity, e.g. "if the Tories are so concerned about immigration, why has it gone up? Could it be because of a lack of funding to monitor both legal and illegal immigrants, or are they more interested in maintaining a permanent underclass working in sweatshops or as sex slaves or Tory cleaners" etc.

Helen Highwater posted:My wife is American and her mother died a few years ago from breast cancer. While she was alive and undergoing treatment, I was visiting at their place in Colorado and helped my FiL set up a spreadsheet to track the medical expenses. He was a senior manager at a big defence contractor, basically one step below director level, and he had gold plated insurance from his work - this was pre ACA. He was paying in the region of $20k a year in premiums deducted from his salary. On top of that he'd paid about 30k in co-pays for various procedures up to that point. On top of that, he'd also had to pay out of pocket for about 750k of stuff that the insurance wouldn't cover anymore because the insurance had refused to pay for it. All of this was money he had to pay or his wife would die, none of it was elective, none of it was for stuff that hadn't been signed off as medically necessary by a doctor. He had to sell his RV, his boat, his quad bikes (he didn't spend a lot of money on stuff but he liked his outdoor toys) and remortgage his house. Just because his wife lost the cancer lottery. He was 'lucky' because he had assets to sell and some savings to pour into that hole. If he hadn't had a way to come up with about 800k in cash, then his choices would have been all about how fast he wanted his wife to die. I was flabbergasted due to my own experiences; I've already had one liver transplant for a rare, auto-immune condition, and I'm awaiting another, albeit having done so for more than two years now due to the survivability of someone in my position. From literature I've been given, it says that the total cost of a transplant (staff, equipment, bed stay, aftercare etc. etc.) is estimated to be on average of £40,000 over here, when accouting for the relative cost reduction of mass treatment for patients, so what I'm saying is that it takes some really hosed up fudging of costs to make it cost x10 as much.
