Not sure how GameFAQs was any better before them. None of our corporate overlords have ever been the cool ones.

Yeah your friend sounds cool. I'm anti-gun because of the harm it's brought my nation and imo humanity as a whole, however their logic is sound.

Ah yes, SI. The guy who defended a kid for raping his kid sister and swore the sister wanted it.

Netanyahu's Likud party slams Schumer for not respecting the Israeli government

Media: "We can't really be sure what he means... so we have to report this like it's normal or they will call us the liberal media."

If they said they were closing specifically because a meeting for a black church was happening next door....

Well i suppose their closing affects everyone at that time, but it's still scummy imo

What you're looking at here is the limited Overton Window of mainstream US politics, and very silly, deliberately inculcated framing that actually benefits "conservatives." Left-wing and right-wing have very specific meanings that go back centuries. Right-wing referred to the half of the French parliament that wanted to conserve power in the hands of the social elite. Left-wing politics are about distributing power, flattening hierarchies, extending political franchise to more of the population. The definition of right/left the average person operates under is extremely limited and has been deliberately engineered to make people flip those ideas around in their head. It's not a surprise that there are pro-gun people on the left, because that's what we want: typically we want people to be able to do shit, unless we can make a strong argument against it which usually boils down to "because it infringes on someone else's rights or freedom." For example, "regulations" aren't "big gubbermint imposing on the little guy", they're in place to prevent corporate entities and employers from poisoning water supplies, discriminating in their hiring practices, or abusing their workforce. Firearms? Many of us are fine with them for a number of reasons, without even bringing up "revolutions" and crap, but it makes sense to put some restrictions in place, don't it? Otherwise one person can do a hell of a lot of infringing.

Dammit, they're right!

If only there was some method of comparison that didn't rely on memory.

One Nation supports responsible gun ownership and will preserve the current laws which allow law abiding citizens access to firearms, whether it be for work, farming or sports-related activities. We do not believe that further stringent measures or regulations are required regarding licensing. One Nation calls for stricter border security and tougher sentencing for gun crimes and traffickers.

One Nation opposes COVID-19 vaccine mandates on Australian citizens.
While we acknowledge that people have died from COVID, there is a noteworthy difference between 'died of, versus 'died with. It is critical that an honest and thorough examination of how Federal, State, and Territory governments managed the pandemic is implemented by the parliament.

Pauline Hansons One Nation acknowledges the scientific fact that a human beings life begins in the womb.
We were horrified when State Governments passed legislation which legalised abortion up until birth for any reason. This law is one of the most extreme in the western world.
One Nation will seek every opportunity to roll back brutal and extreme abortion law so that both unborn babies and pregnant women will have a level of legal and medical protection once again.

Reduce the gestational limit for abortions - Current legislation in some states allows the abortion of an unborn child up until the day of birth.
Ban sex-selective abortion - Sex-selective abortion is the practice of terminating a pregnancy based upon the predicted sex of a child. The selective abortion of female fetuses is most common where male children are valued over females.
Implement counselling and other safeguards - Women who may be considering an abortion must be provided counselling and compassionate assistance.
Medical care for babies born alive during an abortion - Neonatal care must be provided to babies born alive during an abortion, as would be given to any other child born at the same stage of pregnancy and in the same medical condition.
Anaesthetised abortion - Current procedures across Australia only offer the mother anaesthetic when performing a surgical abortion.
Restore Doctors Rights - Reinstitute a doctors full right to a full conscientious objection to abortion.
Ban organ harvesting - Prevent the use of aborted baby organs.
Mandate data reporting - Current legislation fails to report abortion rates in some states.

One Nation will advocate for a $100 a week rise under the Work Bonus scheme that would allow pensioners to earn up to $13,000 a year without reducing their pension (Work Bonus Scheme is currently $7,800 p.a.). We believe that you must have lived and worked in Australia for at least 15 years before accessing pension entitlements. One Nation opposes the increase to the age of entitlement to 70 years of age.

More than 53 million hectares of prime agricultural land is held by foreign interests. This equates to 14% of Australias total 372 million hectares of agricultural land. One Nation will ban any further sale of freehold farmland to foreign investors and limit the sale of leasehold farmland to a tenure of 25 years. One Nation will also reimplement Foreign Investment Review Board applications on all Agricultural Land from expiring Free Trade Agreements. We strongly support the re-establishment of a Federal Government backed rural lending fund to safeguard Australian farmers throughout drought and other natural weather events.

One Nation will pursue urgent reform to Australias foreign investment rules by legislating a clear definition of National Interest' based on national security, competition, tax, a character test, and any other impacts to Australia. Essential services including power, water, telecommunications, roadways, and ports would be off-limits to foreign investors. With a crucial shortage of housing stock in Australia, we must stop the sale of property to non-residents and non-citizens.

Despite a $24.8 billion budget for state education services, Australia continues to rank lower than comparable high- and middle-income countries in achieving quality education outcomes. One Nation will restore critical thinking in the classroom and reinstate the cornerstone of education with reading, writing, arithmetic, and discipline. There should be no room for Western, white, gender, guilt shaming in any classroom and instead children should be taught the benefits of a merit-based, free-thinking society.

Zero-net immigration throughout COVID illustrated how putting the brakes on migration reduced congestion on our roads and allowed Government services to focus on Australians. One Nation will extend its zero-net migration policy and focus on permitting only highly skilled migrants from culturally cohesive countries into Australia. Migrants must demonstrate a sound level of English for assimilation purposes. Education courses in Australian universities should not be used as a backdoor to immigrate to Australia.

Whole plant medicinal cannabis continues to act as a natural, proven alternative for chronic pain relief and other serious health symptoms experienced by Australians. One Nation remains at the forefront of advocacy within the federal parliament and will continue our push to bring the cost of access down.

Australia is by and large a very generous nation with government-paid safeguard services for the sick, unemployed, aged, and disabled. For services of this nature to continue, we must prevent them from being rorted.
One Nation will push for an identification photo to be displayed on Medicare cards to positively identify users and reduce the number of fraudulent claims made by non-Australian citizens.
We will stop the use of NDIS funding to pay for sex worker services. (A Federal Court ruling permits the use of taxpayers money for sex workers under the NDIS scheme.)
And One Nation will set the term of unemployment benefits to three years in any given five-year period to end long-term unemployment payments to those under the age of 50.

... they have privatised Australias water, with more than 20% sold to foreign investors, while withholding the records of those who trade in this precious commodity... ... ... We will also legislate the full disclosure of water ownership and ban the sale of water to foreign investors.

One Nation supports jobs for Australians first and foremost... ... ... One Nation will increase its national apprenticeship scheme whereby first-year apprentices receive a 75% wage subsidy, followed by 50% the second year, and finally 25% in their third year. The release of this program in 2019 was taken up within three weeks by regional businesses. The second rollout of the program was again swiftly welcomed.

One Nation favours Australians first and foremost. We believe in reducing the refugee intake for five years in an effort to redirect critical funding to Australian services. The cost to Australian taxpayers to hold each asylum seeker or refugee on Nauru has escalated to $358,646 per month or $4.3 million a year. One Nation supports the withdrawal of Australia from the outdated United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention.

One Nation will apply a national plan that guarantees low-cost, reliable, dispatchable power by building new low-emission coal-fired power stations. We will restore Australias essential 90-day fuel security policy with on-shore oil reserves and the capacity to refine fuels for domestic supply. Australias abundant natural resources should be for the prosperity of our own citizens instead of our global competitors. One Nation supports the investigation of nuclear power in Australia. We strongly oppose the waste of multi-billion dollar government subsidy schemes offered to foreign-owned solar and wind projects.

The Australian Constitution must be upheld at all times and not undermined by United Nations forums and its 193 member states. One Nation does not support the World Economic Forums 'Great Reset'.
Free Trade Agreements that function against the best interest of Australians must also be scrapped. Import tariffs should be reimplemented on select countries to protect Australia's remaining industry and manufacturing while safeguarding homegrown jobs and wage levels.

One Nation will push for the introduction of a Citizens Initiated Referenda, enabling Australian citizens to put forward legislation or a referendum question without waiting for politicians to listen and act.

One Nation believes Australia should withdraw from the United Nations Paris Agreement signed in 2016.
Australia has committed to the deepest and most savage carbon emission cuts in the world on a per person basis. This commitment is predicted to slow the Australian economy with enormous job losses. In our view, this economic suicide cannot be justified on the evidence put forward by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
It is just too easy to allow our memories, often unreliable, to accept the often repeated claims that it has never been hotter. Given the economic costs, we believe we need to listen to the evidence.
It is the evidence we should take regard of when making policy. The history of science is that its the evidence that counts.
We have confidence in evidence when the experiment can be repeated and the same results are achieved.
We have confidence in science when the evidence is consistent with the theory and that theory predicts events in the future.
Scientists predicted global warming would lead to extremes of weather, which would be more intense and more frequent, but despite media reports extreme weather events were more common prior to 1960 than at any time since.

Jack Black as Frieza

And sell it to a bunch of right wingers.

And then Trump wins this year.

But at least....

Take that CHYNA!!!11

I could care less about writing bad reviews. I would rather them do that than protest in the streets destroying everything

Shhhhhh talk like that gets you modded around here

Considering the jan 6 events, he shouldn't even be allowed to be nominated, in my opinion.

I think he might be unwell. Since he has this weird obsession with trying to bait people so he could shame them.

If Tiktok is sold. Will it be sold to right wingers who will amplify right wing accounts?

ITT CE going to bat for Trump.

Fuck tiktok, fuck rioters

Imagine blocking highways because of TikTok.

Not much to look forward to after boomers and gen x fucked them over.

Have you tried forgiving them?

Havent seen that message in months...

People get mad when we play world police and then get mad when we do nothing or not enough. No matter what thr US does someone somewhere is gonna be a hater.

We should remember that not every bullied person (or even their father) is capable of kicking the shit out of their bully (even assuming they want to). This isn't a movie where the good guy underdog triumphs just because. A lot of the time they are just going to get a worse beating. Bullies are often raised in violent households themselves, and have been used to fighting all their lives.

Which is one reason why better solutions than 'do more violence' are needed. Because not every victim wants that, nor has a father who is capable of doing it on their behalf.

I don't know CE well enough to gauge that, however I will say as a long-time politics board resident that presidential election years always bring right-wingers out of the woodworks who I had either never seen post before or seldom did so.

Sucks to suck. Maybe on whatever site he frequents now he's learned not to brag about being at January 6th and personally seeing BLM & AntiFa instigating the violence.

I kinda hope not, scrub that fucker off the Internet as far as I'm concerned.
