  1.  @matts5164  Google? You mean a dictionary right? What information exactly do you think needs to be looked up about being homosexual?

  2. ​ @0warfighter0  Schools do not teach anything whatsoever about how shoes are made. Unless you enrol in high school elective biology, schools likewise do not teach anything about people with blue eyes. Despite that, neither shoes nor people with blue eyes have any stigma attached.

  3.  @tomtucker9720  It isn't reality mate. The moment we start talking about "acceptance" and "inclusion" we've stopped talking about teaching and started talking about political ideology. Political ideology has no place in schools or on children's television. Children's television should not sexualise or label children. It should feature kids being kids, no sexuality required because they're kids.

  4. ​ @tomtucker9720  You tell me how it is harmful. Point to a single direct harm that comes from this. Not how fair you feel something is, a direct harm.

  5. ​ @matts5164  If Hungary wanted to remove sex education from schools altogether that seems reasonable too. It's their country, they get to make it however they want. The dictionary definition of homosexuality is the only thing taught in sex ed that is explicit to homosexuals. Everything else applies regardless of sexuality.

  6.  @matts5164  Please read what I actually wrote and do not put words in my mouth. Doing so just makes you seem disingenuous and lowers your credibility.

  7.  @matts5164  All you have done is avoid the question at hand. If you can't point to a direct harm, we're done. Helping you feel comfortable with who you are isn't the job of school teachers or TV. Period.

  8.  @matts5164  Mate, you're not pointing to direct harms and I'm not sure you grasp what that means. You're pointing to politically motivated ideology. This is a pragmatic questions, I'm not asking about opinions, your feelings or whether it's subjectively "fair". I'm asking for objective harms caused, none have been presented. Here are some examples of scenarios with obvious direct harms. If practicing medicine is outlawed and all hospitals are closed, critically sick & injured people will die. If drug rehabilitation clinics are banned, there will be an increase in crime, ODs, suicides, mental health admissions and family break ups. If seat belts stop being mandatory in vehicles, there will be an immediate increase in fatal vehicle accidents. You have not pointed to any direct harm caused by this law, it appears there are none. As a matter of curriculum children are not taught about people with red hair, downs syndrome, Indian ethnicity or low income. It is unhelpful to single individuals out as if a single characteristic defines them. Homosexual children, are just children the same as all others. Who they happen to be attracted to is largely irrelevant, there's so much more to someone than the gender of who they might get a crush on. Unless you're talking about genuine indoctrination, that is attempting to change how people think; then gay kids are going to have the same amount of friends and the same school experience regardless of this law. Similarly other than for side show freak style spectacle or advancing a wrong stigma we don't see TV with families or main characters who are/have, little people, schizophrenia, morbid obesity, paraplegia, ASPD, rickets or Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome (progeria) either. TV is not supposed to mirror or represent reality, it's not intended to normalise who you are. It's mass market entertainment as escapism. Your earlier rant about an anthropomorphic bee you parroted off twitter was poorly thought out. No one is actually going to have a romantic relationship with a bee. You understand that anthropomorphic animals are used in children's television to escape the confines of gender and sexuality, to make it relatable to everyone, so they can just tell a cute little children's story about believing in ones self and about finding a friend you can love. Because 6 year olds aren't sitting around thinking about sexuality or sex, and maybe you should think about those things less. If it helps you get through the day somehow though, in real life all bee drones are female so you can think about that movie as a lesbian Beastophile if you like, but you'd be missing the point of the movie. You're too busy flogging buzzwords, parroting nonsensical ideology and trying to "win" to stop and really think about what you've been saying. Too busy trying to contradict, in order to stop and think about how illogical your statements are. You have shown me you are willing to be intellectually dishonest, to make strawman arguments, to lose your integrity, to misuse language and to disregard reality. That has robbed you of credibility and revealed you as disingenuous. Therefore we are done.

  10. They've realistically only have a choice of those two parties. As the last 5 presidents have demonstrated, popular vote doesn't really matter, what matters is the electoral college. Yankville are a pseudo-democracy. Their system is rigged in the sense that the elites are embedded into power, there is no genuine way for them to be removed. If a poor, resource rich country had a political system the same as yankville they'd use it as an excuse to invade. "Rights" are only those things which the elite class choose to bestow upon you, nothing more. They are not objective, they are not inalienable and they never were. Yankvillains have very little power in their society. No country should aspire to be more like them.

  11. The entire Myanmar narrative we've been fed for months now is fake news. It's been twisted into this narrative that hits on western cultural trigger points. With that said, 6.3% of Myanmar is Christian, so they no doubt found the small group of Christian worshipers were they were and decided to spin it.

  12. This idea that a particular group of countries are responsible for steel overproduction is such a joke. On one hand the EU is saying they're going to make more steel now they don't have tariffs. On the other hand they're suggesting there's too much steel and trying to lay that in China's lap. The EU & US could just stop making steel if they feel there's a market excess. So called "green steel" is just hydrogen powered furnaces, it's not much better for the environment. Pit of a green wash.

  15. There's no such thing as an "unlawful arrival" when it comes to refugees seeking asylum. Everyone at the Polish border right now, be it coming through Belarus or Ukraine, has an absolute right to have their asylum claim processed.

  17.  @arthurmark2013  A refugee has absolutely zero to do with the amount of money in their bank account. Someone moving for economic reasons is an economic migrant. We aren't talking about economic migrants. A refugee is someone fleeing war, violence, persecution or conflict. The convention on refugees defines a refugee as “someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.” You can be a billionaire and still be a refugee. Edward Snowden, a man with significant financial resources is a great example of a refugee. He felt persecution for being a government whistle blower. Alexi Navalny also a refugee, one who fled directly to Germany. He's a millionaire and was granted asylum. Being a refugee has nothing to do with wealth. With that said, one would hope if you sold everything you own and withdrew every cent you have, that'd you'd be able to pull together €99 for a plan ticket from Turkey to Belarus. There's plenty who fly directly to Germany. Again, the majority are coming on foot through Ukraine and Belarus. There's a few who can afford a plane ticket from their life savings but most are walking. Those who have flown, walk from the airport to the border. You're the one who actually has no clue.

  18.  @monro2447  not quite. UN conventions and declarations require signatories to ratify the convention or declaration they've signed up to domestically within 24 months. That has occurred in the EU, which Poland as a member state is bound by. Signatories who fail to live up to their obligations under a convention or declaration can face sanctions and embargos, critically without the need for a vote either in the GA, UNHCR or the UNSC. The UNSC can further vote to use force to end the practice. But perhaps most importantly of it all, as the convention on refugees has it's foundations in the UNHCR, it absolutely has a central body administering it and there can be criminal prosecutions through the ICC for governments who step too far.

  19.  @monro2447  🤦🤦 Your idea of vast majority seems to differ from the definition. There are 215 countries in the world, the majority do not support Poland. A handful of countries in the EU support Poland, and yankville supports them so far as Belarus is concerned. Beyond that, the remaining 200 or so countries either explicitly do not support Poland, or have no opinion. China for example does not support Poland and is using this incident to destroy any EU credibility on human rights it ever had, whilst attempting to build credibility of their own. Chinese sanctions on the EU would seriously effect the economies of member states, particularly Germany and France. With Chinese sanctions would quickly change Germany from supporting Poland, to throwing Poland completely under the bus. Countries don't go to jail, individuals do. People responsible. Poland isn't "protecting it's borders".

  20.  @monro2447  ROFLMAO. That's some nice EU propaganda you've got there. I know you didn't make it up all on your own. Someone's been watching a bit too much DW. You want a dose of truth and reality, ok. You're right not all 215 countries are equal, I never said otherwise. I said the majority don't support Poland. Of the G20, just 4 support Poland. Of the G7 just 2 support Poland. No matter what way you slice it the majority do not support Poland. Period. Yes, a number of countries have come out and explicitly condemned Poland and the EU over the handling of this crisis. Human rights isn't a virtue signal, when used in the context of geopolitical negotiation or communication human rights is a weapon. When used in the context of economic deals, human rights is a means of coercion. If you think China has anything whatsoever to lose by destroying the EU on human rights you're out of your mind. If you think any trade deals with China are at risk without China's say so, then you are completely clueless. China own the global supply chain of essentially every industry. There's no industries, even domestic industries, that aren't touched in some way by China. The reason yankville wanted to make clear they didn't want a cold war with China is because they know they've already lost. China already owns us all. Destroying the EU on human rights helps China by forcing the EU to step back from sanctions and taking the human rights issues the EU has with China off the table. That's why China has already publicly started on at the EU about human rights. China can only win from it. You've also far overstated China's problems. Xi isn't going to let the Chinese economy crumble, that would end him. He's in it for life. Not to mention, the Chinese economy crumbling would make the 2008 GFC look like a walk in the park. Picture Lebanon, everywhere with runaway global hyperinflation. Religion has absolutely nothing to do with this, but it sure is helping to show your true colours. The Syrian war is a war started and perpetuated by yankville and the EU. Syrians are by definition all automatic refugees. It's Europe's and Yankvilles mess to clean up, you ruined their country you owe them. Moreover Merkel invited them to Germany. That invite can't be revoked very easily, you have to wait a few decades. No one is taking over your country. No one is introducing Sharia to Europe. Those are pathetic, empty nonsense arguments to make. Come back when you're able to form an actual rational argument that doesn't rest on your racism and xenophobia.

  21.  @arisplugis5197  You put them in Germany. Because Germany invited them Again the majority are from Syria. I hate to break this to you but 40,000 are going to come regardless of what you do or say to this 4000. The bad economy in Iraq is because of the two Iraq wars over the last 20 years, are you kidding? Their governance was installed by yankville and the EU, get real. Iraq is recognised internationally as a refugee departure country. Everyone currently at the Polish borders with Belarus and Ukraine is a genuine refugee under international law. If you don't want them to come, you shouldn't have destroyed their countries and Germany shouldn't have invited them to come over.

  23.  @monro2447  As if your previous comments weren't enough you had to go and demonstrate conclusively that you're an ideological extremist. I'm not a "lefty or, on "the left" and frankly the concept of me being a bleeding heart is laughable. I'm not an ideological extremist. I deal in facts, in reality and the merits of the specific situation, at a given time. I called you a racist and a xenophobic because those are objectively accurate descriptions of your displayed behaviour in this thread. And even then I only pointed to that behaviour in the context of your argument resting on those traits. What's most telling is after giving you endless substance and calling you out on having none through demonstration, you attempt to parrot it back to me while you take your ball and go home. What a sad, pathetic little person you have proven to be. No argument. Nothing intelligent or insightful to say. Not even a good or funny quip or ad hom. Just insecurity, tribalism and tired old parroting.

  29.  @Just_another_Euro_dude  Sputnik V appeared a week after a large organised Russian hack of vaccine research sites across western countries. It's well known as being the stolen pre-phase 3 Oxford vaccine.
    1
  30.  Белый Негр  I'm not sure you're following. Sputnik V was the first CoVID-19 vaccine approved for use in any country. It was approved by presidental decree without testing. At the same time the Oxford vaccine had been through phase 1 and 2 trials, and was about to move into phase 3 trials. It wasn't that AstraZeneca couldn't produce the vaccine, it was already doing so to stockpile in preparation. It was that it hadn't completed it's trials and approval process. There is literally wide media coverage of this hacking event and the stealing of the Oxford vaccine data by Russia.

  31.  Белый Негр  Sputnik V was not tested in any such way. Your question doesn't even make sense. Sputnik V suffers the identical side effects as AstraZeneca.

  38. I'm sorry Ludo Wic  but you are wrong. Sputnik V has identical side effects and risk as the Oxford vaccine does. The Oxford vaccine risk of clotting is so small as to be insignificant. The real difference is the EU politicised AstraZeneca. That's it.

  39.  Ludo Wic  You mean clinical trials of Sputnik V that aren't done to normal scientific standards? Again, read a newspaper sometime.

  40.  Ludo Wic  The number of people who have died from AstraZeneca is tiny. All vaccines have side effects. The Pfizer vaccine has twice as many deaths, it just isn't politicised. Same for the J&J vaccine. The MMR vaccine we give to all children has a blood clot factor of 3:100K. And yes, Sputnik V too has a blood clot factor, and at these volumes some cases of blood clotting and deaths. The difference is, the EU wanted AstraZeneca to fail and western media love a story where things are going wrong and they can hype up fear. It sells more. The same is not true of the east. Information is, shall we say...more controlled.

  42.  Ludo Wic  The only propaganda going on here is by a couple of slavs who are talking absolute nonsense about Sputnik V and refuse to take on board anything that contradicts their claims. You are straight up lying about Sputnik V. Although extremely rare, death is a potential side effect for 100% of prescription medications on the planet, including Sputnik V. Further, death is a rare potential side effect for 100% of non-prescription medicines that have active ingredients. Death is also a potential side effect of - Medical operations - Using power tools - Driving - Walking - Cooking - Using a ladder - Swimming - Eating - Existing The point of medicine isn't to be without risks, all medicines that do anything and I really mean ALL of them, have side effects and amongst other more common things include in rare instance death. The point of medicine is to balance the potential risk of a treatment with not having the treatment. The risk of blood clotting from CoVID-19 is 1:250, anything that gives you better odds than that but can prevent SARS-CoV-2 is safer than getting infected with it. It turns out that the risk of acquiring a blood clot from the Oxford vaccine is significantly lower than it is from SARS-CoV-2 infection. 4:1M That means you're twice as likely to get a blood clot from the MMR vaccine as you are the AstraZeneca vaccine. It also means you're 16x more likely to die in a car accident on your way to or from getting vaccinated than you are acquiring a blood clot from the AstraZeneca vaccine. That indeed makes it a safe vaccine. Which is good news for Sputnik V, because it means it's also safe. Despite that, to date 4 people have died as a result of Sputnik V and 6 have had life threatening medical complications after the vaccine regardless of what the Kremlin want to pretend. Being alive has an element of risk involved. You can't get the good without the bad.

  43.  Ludo Wic  No one cares about your stubbornness and personal beliefs. What matters are the facts and they're as I have told them to you. One can independently verify the facts as I have stated them. If one wishes to continue believing something contrary to fact beyond being informed of it, it is entirely on themselves. One should keep that to themselves however or they will indeed be spreading propaganda. P.S. The idiom to "burst ones bubble" relates exclusively to the act of introducing facts to someone's beliefs which did not previously align with them. That is to say, as you have admitted you have personal beliefs unaligned with the facts which I have presented to you. Therefore the bursting of a bubble is in fact the opposite way around than you have stated it.
