His argument was that we shouldn't have a lockdown because people who don't have long to live anyway have lives that are less valuable (ignoring that many of those who die / have died have a good 20-30+ years still in them). I wonder what he'd say if someone advocated scrapping pensions because the lives iof the elderly are less valuable? If they advocated expropriating his wealth because his life is less valuable? Cutting the money that elderly peers in the House of Lords get? codey posted... Yeah but what's a peerage It's basically a member of the House of Lords (our second chamber that can amend or veto legislation).

Grogu 01/17/21 9:05:31 AM #16:	Because you present it like if they dont like it they reject it, when in reality their function is to look at bills and laws and see if anything in them is fundamentally illegal or contradictory. If it is they have the power to send it back, but ultimately the government can force it through regardless. Its not perfect but theres no way if what you said was accurate the UK would have the NHS, as high minimum wage or the comprehensive workers rights they enjoy. <cite>Grogu posted [p:949597959] in British Lo...

And from the latter 20-30 year olds are probably more valuable to a society then 70-80 year olds. And in regards to your analogy a more proper one would be the life of say, Elon Musk, vs a hundred homeless drug addicts.

Pretty much As we speak the UK spent millions on "30 food packages for kids" to stop starvation during covid except the packages actually contained 5 worth of food and the wealthy government contracts just pocketed 25 per package and literally no one cares Geez, the UK is going to be a very ugly place in the next decades or so now that Brexit is in full swing and they're starting to realize being on their just means even less for them and more for the rich, doesn't it?

So, then in a triage situation, you think doctors should judge ones personal character, and use it as a criterion for determining whether they receive care? 1. Triage is not measuring the value of life. 2. Triage prioritization only matters for emergency care. Someone who has cancer but has been shot 8 times but is still alive takes priority over someone with first degree burns but is otherwise healthy. Typical cancer patients and patients with normal non life threatening illnesses both fall into the lowest category of triage because there's no immediate loss of life risk. If one of their conditions worsens, they get more priority. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:949599134] in British Lo...

Your police force is 95% white Black people are 5 times as likely to be killed or beaten by cops than white people. Thousands of black people have died while in police custody. Police are 14 times more likely to use firearms on black people than white (For American users, most UK police dont carry guns) And 8 times more likely to be stopped and searched. 43 times more likely to be searched under section 60 (Means cop doesnt have to provide a reason to justify the search) Every other week theres new information about cops bragging about killing black people/immigrants and cops on film admitting they profile and pull over black drivers The racism problem with the UK police force is gigantic, way way worse than the US and constantly in the civil rights news cycle You seem to be assuming the huge REACTION of outrage from the US for Floyd or Rice means the problem is bigger No it just means the population actually cares.
