Thread: What's Bugging You Today? Volume 3, Part 1

  1. The citric acid cycle is, like, totally relative, man.

    I think each side tends wants to have the right conversation about abortion as dictated by them. In Canada the summer jobs program required all churches and other parties wanting to participate to swear on an inclusive and diversity statement against, among other things, abortion. Churches, by law, have the right to belief whatever religious ideas they want, hate speech notwithstanding. The job programs were not largely religious in nature, either—just community outreach to give teens some summer jobs. There was a vote recently, and an MP on the Liberal party decided to vote against that and was pretty severely punished by being stripped of his chair. This wasn't a party troublemaker, btw... 3 decades of mostly towing the party line. Also note this vote wasn't about a law or anything, just the right to theoretically oppose an idea the liberal caucus had decided wasn't going to be permitted. Pretty shitty.

    I realize the states isn't nearly as progressive as Canada so the conversation is much different (abortions for all, bitch)... but the Liberal party up here has been getting tighter and tighter in its authoritarian stance on these types of things since Trudeau took office. It's a step too far.

  3. Churches get enough handouts as it is. Fuck their government subsidized 'jobs'.

  4. It seems like a weird little program to me.

  5. I just tried to buy My Bloody Valentine tickets for Seattle in July. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS. That's not even general admission, that's for a seat in the back. I missed out on the Treepeople show last month and now I'm getting priced out of this show. Lame.

  6. Yeah, you should actually wait till actual onsale dates for those, that's scalpers selling a few early tickets, actual presale starts tomorrow with public onsale on Friday. Actual box office tickets are 40-55

    That said, they're going to sell out almost immediately.
    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

  7. That's much more reasonable. I'm going to try to get tickets on Friday, but I just noticed the show is at the Paramount on a flipping Tuesday, so I won't be too disappointed if I miss out.

  8. Yeah, I'm skipping it because I can't do Seattle on a Tuesday night, especially since I'm going on vacation the next week.

    So I'm going to grab Chvrches tickets for Portland tomorrow instead

    I can't speak for Canada, but I think for young liberals in the US, they are tired of what they see as humoring the right. They don't see it as a discussion or an argument. They see the liberal stance on things like abortion and gay marriage as the only right answer and they are tired of listening to the right and waiting for them to get on board.

    From their pov, they've been waiting 2000+ years for conservatives to get over women's rights and gays.

    It also doesn't help that the vocal minorities on the right tend to justify their stances with cloud emperor.
