Polls: Society & Politics

This is a continuing debate here in the UK. At the moment it is against the law carrying a jail sentence up to 14 years and GPs do not want it legalized. Answer the poll and give reasons for your answer in the comment section.

Essentially, even though california has no history of the slave trade. The proposal suggests that every black person shall be paid $5 million. All debt shall be eliminated, home ownership will cost $1. The reparations act will continue for 250 years.

I'm personally for it. I think its idiotic and will crash the economy. Also, even though hardly anyone is 100% black in the US. I suppose it just means if you identity as black, it counts.

The idea is that it will end racism. Seems this will do pretty much the opposite. But i say, let's do it! I want to watch

In a attempt to have a healthier outlook on humanity, and to silence my own personal biases about the opposite gender, I would like to get some opinions on how men and women can learn to be allies instead of enemies, I feel society tends to make us think negatively of each other, I’d like to be able to discuss the unique struggles of both genders, show compassion and empathy for each other’s hardships, think how we can make each other stronger if we stop assuming the worst about each other, and learn to value and appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses, I’d love to see society start leaning more towards these topics… so I guess these are my questions…
1.) how can we be less biased about the opposite gender?
2.) do you think it’s possible for the majority of men and women to be allies instead of enemies?
3.) what are steps to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other?
4.) how can we improve dating / casual sex?
5.) do our preferences in who we date / hookup with reinforce bad habits in society?
6.) as men and women should we oppose double standards?

My stepdad is Gen X. I'm Gen Z. My brother (of whom is biologically related to my stepdad) is Gen Alpha.

Here are the traits my stepdad pointed out:

Boomers: they don't get it

Gen X: best generation ever, sees both sides (still old school, but with new ways of doing these things), thick-skinned

Gens Y, Z, and Alpha (same sh*t to him): very tech-savvy, but very sensitive "crybabies" who lash out at inequality and words

For the record he prefers not having his politics disclosed but he's stated that he's far from either a Democrat or a Republican.

Donald Trump claims he will be arrested Tuesday in Manhattan probe, calls for protests

Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested Tuesday in connection with an investigation conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney's office and is calling for protests ahead of his possible indictment.

Danielle Filson, a spokesperson for Manhattan's District Attorney's office, declined to comment on the former president's statement.

Trump is under investigation for a $130,000 payment he made just before the 2016 election to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels about an earlier affair. The former president has denied wrongdoing, and federal investigators ended their own inquiry into the payments in 2019.

What do I need to earn every year in salary? Before tax

Give a figure and please explain how you arrived to that figure.

I am speaking in US dollars

For the USA what is the largest threat China, Russia, or Mexican drug cartels?

China:
1: Steals our intellectual property
2: Building a navy to control the western pacific.

Russia:
1: Invaded the Ukraine.

The Mexican Drug cartels:
1: Practically control much of northern Mexico right on our border.

2: Use the above mentioned territory actively work to create and smuggle fentanyl across the border killing 10s of thousands of American every year.

3: Their armed wing is increasingly becoming a threat to the border towns and states on their smuggling routes.

We have men shamed for being men and wanting to fulfil their masculine roll.
It seems everything is toxically masculine. It seems only women are glorified for achieving in society.

Testosterone is steadily declining in men

Personally,

I think this is part of some evil plan to weaken us and make men and women the exact same to control us.

"Several gifts given by foreign countries to Donald J. Trump during his presidency are unaccounted for in government records, according to a report released on Friday by Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which detailed ways in which the Trump White House had failed to follow the law in how it handled gifts."

Trump had previously said that gifts received during his tenure in office belonged to him and not the government, contrary to the law. Multiple items are now missing.

Trump and members of his family failed to disclose more than 100 gifts worth nearly $300,000 that they received from foreign governments during his presidency, according to a report House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats released on Friday.

Im not talking about in terms of the sentence, but do you agree with lynch mob justice for these types of offenders

Personally, whatever their political leanings, I think it's unacceptable to use the term as an insult.

Cuz…America ain’t got it. We can go on and on about freedoms and capitalism, but after tons of polling…all of Europe is Happier. With their socialized medicine, fewer prisons and harsher gun policies.

I could show a lot of other stats, like infant mortality rates, ease of economic mobility…etc. Funny how Democratic Socialism has more “American values” than America.

It's sad we got to the point, where if someone has different political views then you, instead of trying to understand and why they have the views they have, we resort to cheap attacks and name calling. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of attacking others with different political views. If you want to persuade someone to agree with your views, you don't straight up attack them as an evil person, you try and understand their views and why they have them, then try to convince them why your view is better. If they still don't agree with your views after valid arguments, then the best you can do is respect their views and move on, attacking them will not help you in convincing other's your view (s) is/are better or the very least respect your view (s).
