Polls: Society & Politics

I asked because somebody posted on another question of mine that they felt like people should just be quiet when they are treated unfairly and should not complain. What do you think?

This economy isn’t working for working people because it wasn’t designed to. It was designed so people likeTrump, his close inner circle, and the people with access to and influence over them can make as much money as they want. And remember, there is no such thing as too much unless it’s for the rest of us.

In the United States and many other countries, with few exceptions, a unanimous decision by the jury is required in criminal cases.

That is often difficult to get. MA vs Clancy trial is an example of that. As of 1 September 2026, that 12-person jury has deliberated for more than 19 hours without being able to reach a unanimous verdict. A hung jury is definitely not what the justice system wants. It may or may not result in a retrial, with potentially the same result.

Just think how difficult it is to get any group of people to agree on something, let alone 12 jurors in a high-profile complicated trial.

Is it time to consider changing the unanimous requirement for criminal trials?

Please vote in the poll, which lists some possible alternatives, assuming a typical 12-person jury.

Note that, in some civil cases, only a majority of the 6-person jury is required.

This is an absolutely disgusting act by a supposed president of the country. Instead of doing anything to help elevate the United States or support the people living in America, it feels like he is only worsening the country and actively destroying its historic landmarks. The anger people are feeling right now is completely hitting a boiling point because of the constant chaos and damage he keeps inflicting on America.

To rip out and cut down historic trees that have stood as a beautiful symbol of diplomacy for over 100 years just to clear the way for a private golf course makeover is completely uncalled for. It shows a total lack of respect for our shared history and culture. While defenders try to argue that this is just routine maintenance or land management, it is incredibly frustrating to watch a leader prioritize a sports facility over preserving a century-old landmark that meant so much to the public and our international heritage.

What do y'all think about this? Is cutting down these historic trees for a golf project a completely unacceptable abuse of power, or do you view the situation differently?

Take the poll. If Yes, define what an an assault weapon is. In your own words.

Most guys me age are single. Girls make their own money, they don’t really want us. They are independent and view rubbish like travelling as more important than getting married and having kids.

Women self fund their lifestyles, have friends and travel, so for a guy to make their life so much better he has to do a lot of tap dances. He has to be incredibly nice to her, or like so handsome or so rich.

Who would have thought, women earning their own money would make most men like redundant to them.

Give a woman an inch and they take 9.

A lot of women just can’t even make good choices for themselves, that’s why we have the patriarchy. Why men used to pick partners for their daughter. You give women a bit of freedom and will your family propagate still.

Trump is talking about Nuking Iran again. Will he? If he did would Russia Nuke Ukraine or could they? What happens then?

Pick from list or tell me your pick!

So i was wondering, now that trump OFFICIALY renamed the lake see

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-lake-ontario-america-9.7322947

How should this affect data online?

I imagined several possibilities. The most rational would be to have two data pages with names on each. i mean keep the familiar page "lake ontario" just add "AKA Lake of America" and proceed- after that small addition since it is an official name.

PLUS a new page with the new name "lake america aka lake ontario". Would that be accurate and fair?

But not for wokepedia!

I was curious so FIRST I ASSUMED they opposed trump and would not have a lake america page.

So i searched for lake ontario and sure enough the wokepedia SUPPRESSED the edit war -despite an offial name by an elected president. This is crazy. A clinical illness type response! By admins of wiki.

No additional "aka lake america" yet. It has a bit of mention later but refused to add the name!

THese edit wars are hilarious to me! 😆 LOok at the situation now- in screenshots - situation that may change -but now it is hilarious!

as some say it is an official name while others say we opposed trump. To this degree! We won't add a page we won't even add a disambiguation NOR Even a redirect page, in contrast to American GULF

THIS page is a REDIRECT -only! not recognition of a new name.

But for the lake just did redirect no page. So i tried again and look at this BATTLE over an official name. 😆

The EDIT WAR RAGES about an official name! I burst out laughing hen i saw this war. That has nothing to argue after it is official. But sanity is out the window!

Do you also find such edit wars hilarious?

Will new york state government insist that official maps, must oppose Trump? Not this:

Or obey democratic process?
