@walterking "Population control.

I debated the subject.

I firmly believe that the state should not encourage more than two children."

Well there is this thing but I don't know if it is getting much traction-

The Birthstrike Movement – Birthstrike is choosing to forgo having children to protect them from worsening social, economic and environmental conditions.

Well, either we reduce the population or nature will reduce it for us.

All Irish soccer players in England should refuse to wear the poppy in solidarity with James McClean but they are all a bunch of cowards.

Of course they would notice, lots of people over there looking for reasons to be offended.

His Irish teammates definitely should have done it.

Not to mention smug and arrogant.

I think there's a similar situation in the UK with the monarchy.

There's a strange overlap between the ones who have a dopey kind of patriotism which is very focused on loving the flag and not their fellow british citizen.

I think the people who accept their position as beneath the monarch, only do it if it means there are people beneath them. In other words, it's about hierarchy, not actually wanting the best for the people of the country, as I would understand patriotism.

Trump is making clear who the people beneath his supporters are, no matter how poor his supporters are or how bad their lives are.

Judge Judy is the only woman I would punch.

I think the fact you are guaranteed the same government for an extended period was historically good in terms of confidence. But when things go horribly wrong and confidence declines, you miss out on the simple idea that a government can and should collapse. There's a foolish idea that they're a perfect political system and it's incredibly flawed imho.

Paparazzi photographers are complete and utter bottom feeding sociopathic scum who are even lower than clampers, bailiffs, eviction sheriffs and traffic wardens in my opinion. The people who buy and read the low end newspapers and celebrity rags who keep these parasites in a job are just as bad.

I've had to deal with people facing an eviction Sherriff/Bailiffs. Given what I've had to deal with, for the most part I would back the Sherriff nearly every time. If it's got to the point that an eviction Sherriff in deployed, it's because you've spent years not paying what you were meant to pay. Years. That could be mortgage, rent, suppliers, taxes, or whatever. Years spent not paying, or refusing to engage. Unfortunately, some people don't think the laws of the land apply to them, and sometimes you need someone to be the bigger d!ckhead, and that's where the Sherriff/Bailiffs come in.

Traffic wardens are unpopular, but in the main are just people doing a job, and I've seen enough people of healthy people parking in disabled or reserved for the elderly parking spots, vehicles with no cars seats parking in parent & toddler/expectant mother spots, or taking up two spaces in a car park, parking on footpaths or blocking entrances to see why need traffic wardens. If everyone was a considerate and safe parker, we wouldn't need them. The main problem with them is that they'd do you for not paying after parking while you're literally getting the ticket.

Clampers, I'd give you.

As for paparazzi photographers, an ugly shower in the main. Though most of their work is actually photographing the same people by appointment. Part of the celebrity scene I just guess.

I'd advise never driving in Albania so 🤣
