Polls: Society & Politics

It’s an interesting subject as it seems powerful politcal forces may be doing that with us.
Say getting us to fight over wedge issues like abortion, rather than global warming or money in politics.

The only actual term for this “tactic” is from Hungary, when it was fighting the commies.

A major criticism of the Ukrainian side on the onset of the Russo-Ukranian War was that while women and children were free to leave the country, military aged men (18-58) were prevented from doing so. They were drafted into regular units (if relatively young) and territorial army (TA) if on the older side. As a result tens of thousands of men have died in a war they didn't want to fight.

Now as manpower and western support is drying up, the Ukrainians might be drafting women to go fight. Do you think it's fair? - I personally think that it's completely fair that if you have equal rights as a man, you should have equal responsibilities. So it's either neither gender fights or both do.

“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter,
"the best President in generations," etc.
Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks.
Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the
"other side" - don't get duped by this. Vote for
"TRUMP," don't waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA. The Biden Indictments against his Political Opponent will never be allowed in this Country, they are already beginning to fall! MAGA!!!” - Donald Trump on TeuthSocial

Oh…thousands dead in Haiti. What else is on?

How many people has Dean Devlin or Jerry Bruckheimer killed in movies? Couple of 100 million?

Back in the late 1970s, there was a gasoline crisis, as OPEC limited the amount of oil they produced... to keep prices high.

In the United States, to reduce the amount of the limited supplies of gasoline used (there were long lines at the pumps), a nationwide speed limit of 55 mph was imposed (later rescinded), and right-on-red-after-stop laws were passed.

Over time, other countries have passed similar right-on-red laws, or left-on-red-laws for those countries that drive on the left. Let's generically call it a turn-on-red law.

In the United States, right-on-red-after-stop is allowed in most states, typically without a sign telling you it's okay to do it, with some notable exceptions. For example, right-on-red-after-stop is not allowed in New York City... unless there's a (rare) sign saying it's okay.

In Australia, the equivalent left-on-red (Aussies drive on the other side of the road) is only allowed where a sign says it's okay.

Many drivers either do not know the law or don't care. They see turn-on-red allowed and turn without stopping, sometimes creating a dangerous situation for pedestrians and other vehicles.

What about you? Does your country have a turn-on-red law and does it require stopping first? Do you stop first, or just turn on red?

Feel free to vote in the poll and leave an opinion below.

MAGA does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the American people who love and cherish this country and it’s founding values and ideals. Do you think it is time for Trump to pass the torch to Vivek Ramaswamy?

If trump wins the nomination the democrats will win again and it won’t be the democrats at fault this time but trump supporters for being stubborn and refusing to listen to Vivek Ramaswamy’s warning.

I'm going to keep it as short, brief, straight to the point as best I can.

Parents divorced, mother owns 100% of the house as she bought it from my father.

My older brother paid off his house (My parents gave him 50% down payment during the 2008 recession so houses were cheap...)

Brother has two kids, part ownership of the family business in a different city than me. (He works there)

My mother owns 40% shares of the business.

She's getting older and her health is declining.

She's worried that I won't have a house of my own. (Just a mom being a mom) She came up with an idea and has been asking me at least once a month about this..

She wants me to pay x amount for her house which is a great deal.. she'd sell me her house for 1/5th the market price. Her thoughts are that this house would be mine and my brother can use the money plus she'll be giving him more money on top to buy another house so my nephew and niece can have one each.. She thinks that's fair because if she passes away my brother has the rights to own 50% of this house.

Okay... with that being said... I think it's a great deal... it's the house I grew up in. Now for the part which makes me think twice... She keeps telling me its fair to do so when they already gave my brother a 50% down payment which back then is the equivalent to how much I'd be buying the house for.. Soo how is it fair if my brother will now practically be given 50% down payment along with in this current housing market where he lives another 75% down payment. She's also giving 100% of her 40% shares of the company to my brother, I get none of that. She said, "he works there and you don't". Well I used to live in the house, live in the same city of the house and do all the maintenance for it including expenses out of my pocket..

I'm torn between saying fk it.. split the house and I'll sell it when you're gone and buying it out then renting it out.

What would you do?
