The last election must have been around the recent middle-east events (framing it purposefully neutral), because I remember I had some conflicting thoughts about their stance. I can't (honestly) remember if I voted for them then or not - but I strongly considered it, that much I know.
Edit: Writing this out I think, I'm probably part of the problem. Voters should remember who they voted for and benchmark the results against their campaign pledge. Keeping politicians responsible with the little power we individuals have.
Tangential: I'd love to vote for a political party whose only thing is to copy stuff that works in other neighbor countries. Everyone wants to reinvent the wheel or is too proud or something, idk.
I see that they come as a bundle. But I am not so sure about "educated". You yourself hinted that it's inherent to humankind. People have been "educated" in several different ways all across the globe and I wouldn't know where to look to see a difference.
haven't looked into the link, but the way you phrase it, I'd be worried you're creating a system that only gets gamified. Trust should not directly feel like a reward.
Same here: I agree. On the other hand, it's a pest upon humankind that we can't leave public spaces clean and respect public property. We need money to pay people to make nice things, because apparently there is no critical mass that cares about the community. It's always individuals that burden it on their shoulders. And that's obviously not sufficient. Solution: money. Yeah, I hate it too.
I agree. On the other hand, I don't want to give away all the responsibility. There is plenty of space for doing sports or going in nature. Art is pretty affordable in cities. Public transportation is pretty cheap (at least for the youth and in Europe). But still, I agree.
Sure, but kids don't drink as much these days anyways anymore. At least in Germany, and we have drinking at 16 year old. I'm not at the age, but I wouldn't know an alternative to hang out at weekends. I mean, I do, but I can't think of a popular alternative. In my teen years people already haven't had any hobbies. With social media this surely has gotten worse.
I seem to be misunderstood here. You could read OPs comment as if low income people should not get kids. I kinda doubt this is what he meant, but I wanted to reassure.
I completely resonate with what you said, but I don't see a connection to what I wrote/meant.
I know. But is the conclusion here, that low income people should not get kids? If that's the point OP made (which I doubt, but still asked to reassure), I disagree wholeheartedly.
Generally I agree with you. From the article it seems as if the chat bot has led them there. Maybe one of those "Are you further interested in A or B?" questions. If that's the case, there might be more nuance to it.
Is there ANY substance behind such a hypothetical question? If not, I don't want to hear about it. It's a sensitive topic and you're doing no one a favor.
