  • They don’t even have a basic understanding of anything nor the curiosity to pursue something.

    I’ve spoken to far too many people buying the anti immigration rhetoric, particularly asylum, and I’ll just simply ask them how do you apply for asylum here and not a fucking one can tell me basic information from our own government website.

    When I say well you have to be in the country to make an application so we have created this so called boats crisis.

    Then you can ask what would a solution to this be and it’s just vacant stares. Rather than hey we could let people apply from Europe and then the boats stop.

    This is the same for the correlation between Brexit and us being unable to send back as may people and all other topics.

    For the first time in my life I feel a glimmer of hope with The Green Party as they’re literally giving all the same talking points that this dumb ass pot head has been forcing down my mates throats for decades.

    The other thing is it works with close friends if you push back or ask simple questions enough they actually begin to notice and then you can really feel some pride when your best mates will argue your talking points against others and you just sit and marvel at your creation and think I did that, whether I am right or wrong in my beliefs someone respected me enough to listen and think for themselves for once.











  • Depends. This is a leveraged buyout and there are countless examples of other companies bought like this and they don’t last long.

    They take on massive debt to buy it. Then they shift that debt to the company they bought and away from the individuals. Then that company is crippled paying down interest so they can’t innovate (not that EA did), then they’ll have to cut costs and the product will diminish. Likely pay out billions in dividends to the buyers can make profit and in 5-10 years EA will go bust or get sold again.

    The banks will be left holding the bag, but probably covered their loses by that time so can write off the rest of the debt.










  • Perhaps I should have highlighted that it’s not a viable option for everybody.

    I would say that your solution is also pretty shitty. As bad as bullies are many of them are doing because either they’re getting bullied / hit at home and so they act out in this way or have other issues.

    I don’t think sticking them all together is the solution, we should be trying to understand why someone is doing that and see if we can make positive changes. When I say we I mean the education system.
