Posted in: Energy crisis spurs nuclear comeback worldwide See in context

Nuclear Could even see the rise of external powered vehicles. Like electric trains, cars and trucks could have a pantograph joining up with a catenary wire above all the roads. Never need to worry about filling up the gas tank or charging the battery. The nuclear and other power plants would be powering them.

Amd labour won't nationalise either. If this current incarnation of the labour party existed back in the 40s and 50s, the NHS wouldn't exist either.

Why doesn't Britain just nationalise the domestic energy sector? They tried asking the energy companies to so the right thing. Now it's become a national security and safety issue. Kick their butts out and nationalise or regionalise with elected boards.

Why are those on welfare paying council tax and rent? Should just be 25% of their welfare stipend for rent, no council tax, and 2% of welfare stipend for utilities. Money should be for entertainment and luxuries, not basic needs.

Posted in: Japan to pledge around $30 billion in African aid at conference: report See in context

If countries just got out of Africa and stopped economic dumping, let them put tariffs and such to protect their domestic markets (like the UK, US, Japan, etc did when their countries were much weaker), then African countries could grow. I know the intentions are there, but it's not helping them grow. It's building dependency and corruption.

When did the american congress declare war on Syria? Why are troops there? Pretty sure Syria doesn't want them there. It would be like a Russians launching airstrikes on Americans in Canada. The Canadians and Americans don't want the Russians there; the Syrians and the Iranians don't want the Americans there.

Beautiful, but very expensive. If they give migrants free shelter, I might need to surrender my citizenship so I can apply to work in my home country. Too bleeping expensive

As a kiwi, I had to teach overseas (Texas)—the housing prices are too bleeping high. Where are they gonna house these migrants? If a middle class native is having trouble affording a shelter, how are poorer migrants going to?

Umm, anyone else see a problem here? That's 0.22% of the stock price. Dividend should be at least 10% of stock price ($3.90 per share).

As a non-American, the strange thing to me is that the employer gets to determine medical coverage for its employees

And the concept of a set number of sick days. If you're sick, don't come to work. Send a doctors note saying how long you'll be out and get better. Don't make everyone else sick. The flu, covid, etc doesn't stop just because you ran out of sick days. Are americans that silly?

An association with a religion could reshuffle an administration and start background checks on politicians.

Any belief system, religious or secular, could reshuffle and purge. Ask the Communist parties and the new american GQP party.

and when another country demands the same for let's say, the leader of the United States?' 

Well, last time I looked, I don't think President Biden has committed mass-murder or favours the use of torture, or rules the USA in a totally repressive manner, and nor did his predecessors Trump or Obama

Both Obama and trump have extra judicially executed foreign citizens on foreign soil, many times without that country's consent. Doesn't matter if they're considered terrorists by the Americans or not. Would America tolerate Chinese drones killing American citizens in the us that the Chinese govt has deemed terrorists? I think not.

Aren't Sports supposed to be non-political?  Why are govts funding Olympics with taxpayer money?  Why are teams, which shouldn't be aligned with national govts, getting sanctioned (removing the offending players is fine) in some cases, and celebrated in others, depending on popular opinion and reputation of the nations?

Posted in: Man arrested over abduction of teenager he met online See in context

13,14,15,16,17,18,19? The age matters in both context and legality. A 13 year old running away is a bit more of an issue than a 17 year old running away. The 13 year old can be more easily taken advantage of than a 17 year old, bith physically and mentally. A 19 year old, I believe, would not be an issue as they both agreed to meet and she's a legal adult. Just saying teenager was too vague, imho.

Sh1mon M4sada:

Funnily enough, a so-called labour govt is running the country. A real labour party, however, would have nationalised housing the same way they did healthcare back in the late 40s when issues presented. Housing is even more of a necessity than healthcare.

Religious beliefs should be a personal matter not dictated by the party or the govt. 

Sure. A poster asked an open question and I gave an answer based on my personal convictions and experiences.

All fun and games until your religious belief is the one that is banned.
