Hair clipper. Paid for itself in two uses. It’s been years.

Esperanto. Logical. Clear. Easy.

I didn’t make a claim either way. I just said the OP’s claim was unfounded, and it is unless and until they provide a study that backs it up.

You literally wrote that directly above

And top notch denial of axes to grind, positioning yourself as neutral whilst criticizing others.

You’re fucking lying that you don’t have a viewpoint when you’re up and down this thread demanding scientific studies from people who are sharing the experiences of themselves and people they know, and all of your “innocently neutral requests for scientific studies” are on one side of the debate and not the other.

It’s hypocritical, disingenuous, dismissive, dehumanizing and a logical fallacy that anyone with a different viewpoint to you has to have scientific studies backing up every point they make. It’s a shitty and vacuous debating technique.

Maybe, just maybe, the people in this thread who remember having a foreskin and don’t now (or whose friends have talked to them about that) have the most insight into what difference it makes to have a foreskin, and you could try respecting their opinion rather than demanding scientific proof that their experience is universal.

Love my penis, love my foreskin. All good.

Catholics not as keen on Paul as protestants.

Horrifying.

I dislike people who throw shade at others for not providing scientific studies whilst not providing any scientific evidence whatsoever to back up their own contrary view.

Excellent use of “show me the study” to discredit someone without providing your own study to back up your contrary point of view.

And top notch denial of axes to grind, positioning yourself as neutral whilst criticizing others.

Might not work in a court of law, but it’s strong internet debate fallacy usage.

And yet homicide is so much higher in the USA than other wealthy countries.

It means “if Allah wills it”, so similar to “God willing”.

Thanks.

“Content not viewable in your region”

Weird rant.

I guess it’s the opposite of “I won’t be a minute”, which means I’ll be fast.

Great flag, by the way.

Once I removed all the TTRJ type non-word allcaps crap from the dictionary, it became much more usable for me.

That’s surely accumulated wealth rather than the grey hairs?

Lol, that’s for legal migrants

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-change-of-conditions-of-leave-to-allow-access-to-public-funds-if-your-circumstances-change

You can apply online for a change to your conditions if your financial circumstances change and you:

• have permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
• have applied for permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
• have permission to stay with a close relative with protection status as a child
• hold a British National (Overseas) visa
• have permission granted on any other immigration route and you want to apply on a discretionary basis because your circumstances are particularly compelling

Note the permission thing.

I have some fantastic news for you. For some time now, if you enter the UK via an illegal route you already have No Recourse To Public Funds. This means you can’t get council housing, you can’t get universal credit, you can’t get child credit and you’re not entitled to free treatment in the NHS. You have to pay for everything yourself.

Why would anyone do that? Ignorance maybe, but usually because it’s better than being killed and they already speak some English or have family here.

The last job you got-did you have to supply identity papers such as drivers licence, passport or similar? Employers legality have to establish your right to work in the UK.

So the his news for you is there’s already no legal way for illegal immigrants to be paid anything at all in the UK. Automatically destitute. Woohoo. You must be so proud.

It wasn’t me that changed the subject

It’s just a lot of clever words for hating foreigners. I’m not fooled by it. Apparently you are. The solution to the infrastructure problems is to build more infrastructure. Not elect a bunch of racists and let hate rule your country. Who gives a fuck where people are from? Racists. That’s who. People are people.

The solution to the housing crisis is to build a vast amount of council housing, just like we did post war. It makes jobs. It boosts the economy. It removes the upwards pressure on rent and introduces downwards pressure. Who would pay through the nose for a badly maintained private rental property when there’s a brand now council house at much lower rent? Landlords would have to fix the house and reduce the rent or sell - reducing upwards pressure on house prices.

So it’s the government selling off council houses instead of building more and money-grabbing rich venture capital landlords that cause the housing problem, not some immigrant.

How do you solve the problems of the NHS? Recruit more doctors and nurses. How? Increase the limit on numbers in medical school in the UK (controlled by the government) and for goodness’ sake, make sure all the foreign born NHS and healthcare workers feel happy, wanted and at home, because the one think the NHS can’t afford is to lose the immigrant workers! Next, bring health and social care and NHS under the same funding roof, either by putting NHS into local authorities or social care under the NHS. Social care is far cheaper than the NHS and a bunch of old people can’t get a place in social care because there’s not enough funding for it. If it was the same pot of money, it’d be simple - build a bunch of care homes and ease pressure on the NHS. But how would you staff them? I think you’re beginning to see where the answers are but you don’t want to admit it.

Who gave you money problems? Rich people running corporations to extract as much money as possible from you. Not some poor immigrant.

Immigrants make our country better. Without them it would be worse. Silly racists can sound plausible without using the word “race” or “skin” or “foreigners” as much as they like but their solutions are just about racism and not about making anything better.

Trump is living out the “deport them or lock them up” policy. If you think that’s all going well, move to America. Unless your skin isn’t pearly white, because they’ll lock you up before you can say “ironic” and certainly before you can say “habeas corpus”.
