why not kill poor people to solve poverty?

From whom would you then extract wealth and labour?

You don’t need to make everyone millionaires. You do need to give everyone secure access to food, housing and healthcare.

Sex, I could go to the next brothel and have it 10 times a day.

Brothels are illegal in my country.

Or go on tinder and let golddiggers have it.

The vast majority of people are absolutely nowhere near rich enough to attract golddiggers.

If you’re a decently attractive woman, you’ll get it for free on tinder in 5 minutes. Or in the next bar or wherever.

I don’t know what proportion of women you believe are decently attractive, but surely you accept it isn’t 100%. Also roughly 49% of us are male, and this absolutely and unequivocally is not the experience of even decently attractive men.

I can also walk around asking anyone until I’m lucky.

This would get me slapped and possibly arrested for sexual harassment. It would definitely, definitely, definitely not work. You have to either be an unusually attractive man or alternatively be seeking sex from men for this to have any chance whatsoever of success.

I keep telling you that your experience is far from typical, and I keep telling you that we live completely different lives. You are confident that you could easily get sex if you wanted it, whenever or wherever you wanted it. I promise you 100% that I am right that your experience is NOT universal. You live in a magical world of sex availability. By contrast I live in a blessed world of readily available affection from my friends (who I chose), surrounded by family that love me, but where sex is available with frequency lower than my preference and with zero realistic chance of me getting it elsewhere.

WE ARE NOT THE SAME. Accept it please, and stop telling me I’m wrong about what my own lived experience is like. You are WRONG.

I guess you deliberately want to misunderstand me.

I don’t want to deliberately misunderstand you, I want you to hear me. Your experience of readily available sex whenever, wherever, whoever, is far from universal.

Scotland has it’s own devolved parliament. But England does not.

Doesn’t stop them from being trampled all over by the English more right-wing parliament.

if it wasnt for a Scottish supreme court judge

You talk like the supreme court is a dictatorship. It is not.

an act passed in Scottish parliament

Are you saying that the Scottish Parliament ought not to have passed pro-trans legislation, or that it was a false flag operation designed to provoke the awful consequences that the English-dominated supreme court inflicted on us all?

My original point, which you seem determined to pick holes in, was that the Scottish people, who are by and large far more left wing than the English, had the most trans-inclusive legislation in the UK. The Scots are aggrieved that yet again something progressive was overruled by an English-dominated power. Whether you agree or not that the Scots don’t like having their left wing ideals messed with by the London Parliament and the London Supreme Court, the meme is from regular trans ally Scots folks expressing Scottish solidarity with LGBT+, and I think it’s a mistake to be getting cross about that because nasty author is also a Scot and the hate group had Scottish in the name.

Nigel Farage waves the England flag; should we hate and blame all English folk for his hatred? Even those who oppose him? It’s right to be very angry and upset about what happened, but to blame all Scottish people for it and to reject anyone from Scotland who expresses sympathy and common cause with you is coming across as a bit of a counterproductive, unfair and overly broad brush.

Much easier to access.

Oh yes. That too.

You’re deliberately misinterpreting me and insulting me at the same time. There’s no need for that.

You said

Sex you can have with everyone and get it everywhere.

And that’s simply not true for most of us.

You characterised love and affection as hard to find, but I get love of various sorts readily from my wife, children and other family, and a great deal of affection from friends and some colleagues. You characterised sex as easy to find, stating I could get it anywhere and any time with anyone, and you argued with people who disagree, but the truth is that I can get sex only in my bedroom, only with my wife, only at night, and only when she is in the mood for it, and anything else is pure fiction, for me. Maybe not for you, but definitely for me.

That fact that you even think to assert that love and affection are hard to find and sex is easy to find is why we live very, very, very different lives. I’m not asking to swap, but we are NOT the same.

Maybe you mean something different than you’re saying, but of you want to get your point across to us ordinary folk for whom a sex life as busy as our libido was a teenage fantasy that never turned up, you’d better start rephrasing and explaining rather than just claiming “technical” truth.

It’s also “technically” true that you can get affection anywhere. Yesterday I gave a homeless guy a lift from his begging pitch outside the bus station to his tent and bought him and his girlfriend a pizza hut on the way, and he cried and hugged me. Today I met up with a bunch of friends and got about four hugs, which is totally normal for that bunch. Most people wouldn’t call it love, but it’s heaps of affection.

We live very different lives for you to claim what you claim.

I’m also troubled that you only said that you can’t enforce love and affection. Enforcing sex is called rape. I’m guessing that you didn’t mean that, but do you not see that you need to back down from some of the words and phrases that you used instead of defending them, and explain what you meant in a less provocative way?

You missed out could. That’s why we are not the same.

Conclusion:

bandwith = maximum volume per second, like width of a water pipe

latency = delay in arrival, how many milliseconds the data takes to make the journey, like how slow or long a pipe is.

Why the fuck is the military of a country, especially one with supposedly separated church and state, maintaining an official list of religions??? Why is the defense secretary choosing religions???

For women scotland are anti trans bigots funded by nasty author. They’re not for Women and they’re not for Scotland. Why would you believe deceptive people’s claims about who they are for?

Pulling the West Lothian Question nonsense on me doesn’t change for one minute the fact that the English overrule the Scottish again and again and again. Yes, England is more populous, that’s how it has so many MPs and that’s how it overrules Scotland so often. Heck, Yorkshire has more MPs than Scotland.

Don’t blame the Scots, blame the anti trans bigots. This meme is about the largely left wrong Scots standing with trans people when both feel betrayed by the supreme court for interfering with Scottish pro trans policy.

I think there are websites for that.

Maybe he should sit behind.

I think you and I live very, very different lives that you would think that way.

Well, I think you’re someone who is thoughtful and you put good into the world, and I hope a truck load of good comes right back into your life.

The Supreme Court, by law, is meant to be made up of judges from each of the UK’s four countries, but in fact, it’s just two Scots, one Welshman, one from Northern Ireland and the rest from England, and overwhelmingly, it’s full of people who were Lords already and were educated privately. There are more people from Eton than Scotland on it.

So no, I don’t buy that Scotland did it to itself. Scotland had the most trans-accepting legislation in the UK and the overwhelmingly English Posh Boy School educated Supreme Court overruled it.

Lots of Scots correctly see it as Scottish left wing policy overridden by a bunch of English overlords.

That is a bold claim.

Hope you have a happier and better year than ever before.

Nasty author is Scottish, yes, and funded the case, but the rich bigotted few don’t represent the tolerant many.

“I bet you can’t suck me off in under five minutes.”

Asking the real questions.
