The best Disnep song is clearly Gaston and it's so far above all the others we're really only able to talk about second place and lower Pesmerga knows what's up with the others. Make a Man Out of You is so great.

TinTower posted:Why the hell is so much public discourse about the EU about loving toasters anyway? You just know that if the UK wrote those directives the media would be lauding it as common sense regulation to save the common man on his electricity bills. Racism against foreigners, as usual. It's just a little more accepted in public to use that slur for Cylons than the common ones for other groups.

Sent my postal ballot in this morning, voted for the "Let's not commit complete national suicide, Juche is a poor policy option" side. Increasingly convinced it'll be Leave and we're all massively hosed, but as mentioned, at least it would have the tiny silver lining of getting David Hameron (WFAPD) into he history books for being the first British PM to both gently caress a dead pig AND gently caress everything up irrevocably.

I finally understood the offside rule when I realized it's a rule intended to make the game better to watch, rather than to make it fairer/faster/whatever. Like it's still daft because if you've got a couple of twats goal-hanging that weakens their team on the field and if they isn't something the other team can reliably take advantage of, it implies the game itself is a bit poo poo, but at least it makes sense to me now.

Darth Walrus posted:No, but it's really not much of a concession to say that this particular spree shooter picked the 'demented Wahhabi spin-off' option out of the many available to angry, frustrated American men in possession of ridiculous amounts of firepower. Particularly since the LA pride parade arrest underlines that it's completely possible to arrive in the exact same place from a quite different philosophical direction. Like, yeah, the scarier sects of Islam inspire people to go out and murder folks en masse. So do the scarier sects of Christianity. And Buddhism. And Hinduism. And Judaism. And even the mainstream elements of non-religious ideologies like fascism, MGTOW, white supremacy, and so on. Whatever the case, investing in better mental health-care and weaning the country off its ruinous firearm addiction is probably going to help quite a bit. Not as much as killing all men seems likely to help. And I say that as a man who would on balance prefer not to be killed.

Taear posted:When you talk to people on the doorstep about it all they've got to say is how Britain is full and how we need to "stem the tide". A few mention fishing and other generalities but that's mostly what you hear. And there's no persuading people about it, at all. Can't change minds with facts when they weren't made up with facts in the first place.

Pantsuit posted:I don't understand why people in this thread are so mad at the prospect of leaving the EU? Especially since it is perfectly alright with attacking collective bargaining, wages and social safety nets? Because whilst in principle leaving the EU would allow the UK to pursue much leftier policies, in practice that isn't what would happen after leaving, and the protections the EU does offer are a drat sight better than the ones the Tories would implement (because they exist at all).

Paul.Power posted:I suppose he has one thing going for him in that his personal philosophy isn't (or at least doesn't appear to be) "1) More money for us. 2) gently caress you.", and he somehow genuinely believes that Britain is one step away from becoming Great again if only they went back to teaching Kings and Dates and the twelve times table* in schools. That probably has an appeal to both old Tories and the kind of young Tory that gets a photograph posted in UKMT wearing a bow tie and a pre-war hairstyle. Like yeah, he looks crazy to us, but if you're already crazy enough to vote Tory... I asked the same question in this thread some time back and was met with precisely this answer; Gove might be an idiot and a buffoon but he has something approaching a coherent vision of how things are and should be that is slightly more developed than "We are your betters, shut up proles."

Miftan posted:I don't see a difference? Not to get all pissflaps about this, but surely if a murder happened then whoever did it is a murderer? Yes, but there's a distinction between someone factually doing a kill, and the law recognizing it. Similar to how in the US even when some bloke's shot twenty people and three coppers he's still the "suspect". e; but Gonzo's right in that it's almost entirely down to right wingers trying to obfuscate the issue and make things so muddy that the fact he killed a sitting MP because of racist rhetoric throughout society is lost. e2; God, could you imagine if Pissflaps was a lawyer or judge or something?

Gorn Myson posted:I don't want to spoil the short party in this thread here, but this is the same sort of poo poo the right pulls in the US when they turn up at poll stations to tell voters that Democrats vote tomorrow, Republicans vote today.

Usually with a loving smiley face emoticon at the end of it as well. I don't mean to 'flaps you, but how come? Anyone who has any faith in the democratic system is going to believe that increasing voter turnout is pretty much a good thing. You might not but it doesn't seem unreasonable to want the system to work well.

Doesn't Estonia (and maybe a couple other countries) actually already have e-voting though? Not to say that proves it's easy to do right, or even possible to do right, but unless I've invented shite whole cloth (which is eminently possible) it does give us a place to look for how to actually do it.

Guavanaut posted:15% iirc I reckon most immigrants will have sympathy for it and most crackers like me have been around immigrants of all kinds enough to know that that part of the Leave campaign is total bollocks. My prediction is a very narrow Remain win, 51.8 against 48.1, spoiled ballots making up the remainder at around 0.3%. Or that could just be wishful thinking because of the apocalyptic fallout which it would presage for the Tories.
