  • That chart shows a TREND of a delta, not an actual approval rating. But the actual numbers say otherwise:

    Results:
    Overall voters: 38 percent approve, 61 percent disapprove (net minus 23) High school or less education: 41 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove (net minus 16)

    Margin of error: plus or minus 3.6 percentage points

    So overall approval rate is 38% for the less educated it’s 41%, that’s the same as we’ve seen every fucking single time there’s an approval poll. He has actually been way lower before, but it’s within the margin of error.
    So same same. How they get those delta values, I have no idea???

    The reason I don’t care to read those kinds of articles anymore, is that they are ALWAYS lying. It is NEVER an all time low. Ir’s just more of the same. AFAIK Trump was down to 32% approval at some point, this is 6% HIGHER!!!


  • No? I’m comparing it to something like hugs, which are acceptable cross-gender greetings in some places

    No it’s not, not among strangers in a random situation like sitting besides each other in a plane.
    But sure if both parties are OK with it, why should society be involved with a voluntary legal interaction between 2 people that consent?

    Not consenting to sit beside a woman however is CLEARLY discriminatory. As is attacking the flight attendant for doing her job! It is not normal or polite behavior. It is prejudiced religious bigotry.
    And anyone behaving like that can fuck right off, and live in a paradise of religious bigotry in some religiously fanatic country.
    You are trying to compare crazy with normal. Religious law is based on superstition and delusions. Democracy is based on the pursuit of building a better and fairer society for all.
    Democracy is the opposite of being based on religion. If you want to live under laws based on religion, you do not belong or deserve to live in a democracy.







  • This is so far out I’m simply at a loss for words on how to respond!? But I will make an effort to try anyway.
    The norm in a modern democracy is to treat each other as equals, and respect the personal sphere of individuals.
    Of course there are limits on what people can do towards each other, like assault is not allowed, but that rule is equal for all, and is not a “sexist” rule. It does protect women against sexist assault, but it does the same for men, although the problem for women are several magnitudes bigger.
    Are you really comparing sitting next to a woman would be akin to sexual assault, in a society where men and women are treated as equals?

    I have to downvote you, because I don’t see a way you could have made the above comment in good faith. I reeks of apologism towards religious extremism and sexual discrimination.



  • he refused to sit next to a woman, citing Sharia law, and later assaulted a female flight attendant who intervened.
    .
    Authorities identified the suspect only as a Turkish national living in Germany.

    That level of disrespect for the values of a democracy should get you expelled IMO.
    This is an extreme level of sexist discrimination, that goes against fundamental values of a modern democracy.
    This kind of people is not fit to live in a democracy.
    Fining him and maybe even sending him to jail for a few months will not teach such a person anything, but will only radicalize him further against the values of democracy.




  • but you don’t have to go to a specific menu for it. Just press and walk away.

    IDK why you need to do that, I use a hotkey on my keyboard.
    So regarding speaking for yourself, how about you respect that not everyone do like you do, but your way is the only kind of hardware that exist.
    I am not the arrogant one here, you are.

    A physical power key on a desktop computer should physically shut off power IMO, but that option doesn’t exist anymore. And from an energy preserving perspective that is bad.
