- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
So if we only have a yes/no response available for the question “do women lie about domestic violence?” the answer is… yes.
We haven’t seen what the study actually asked or the options they allowed for in the response.
The article is worthless without being able to review the actual study.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
Yes, this is a stupid post
I gotta respect the self report
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
I guarantee you this study gets absolutely shredded in review.
If anyone can link it to me when it’s public I will post my own review of it. Wouldn’t be the first time I get garbage retracted.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
The number of people jumping in to call adolescent boys morons for having a slightly higher response rate to a very poorly framed question is ridiculous.
The idiots here are the people who wrote the survey.
Of course women lie about domestic violence.
They lie to protect themselves. They lie out of fear.
Some women, though a vanishingly small minority, lie to weaponise the legal system against their partner.
Labelling this acknowledgment of reality, which has nuance to it, as extremist is just going to make more young men hostile to feminism.
- Comment on Are you on track to retire comfortably? Australia's new super benchmark released 2 weeks ago:
I’m ahead of the curve right now but there’s a lot that could go wrong between now and retirement.
My wife on the other hand has almost nothing in super which will be on me to fix. I will actually get a slight tax break for investing into her super which helps us long term.
- Comment on Cape York man’s conviction overturned after court finds magistrate made ‘inappropriate’ remarks 2 weeks ago:
This whole case is weird.
The appeals court also found the magistrate made an error of law by finding the offence occurred “at night”, which is considered an aggravating factor in the offence. The offence occurred at 8.35pm. Under the statutory definition used in such cases, “night” begins at 9pm.
So an aggravated… non-offence? As the police weren’t exercising an actual power or acting on a reasonable suspicion when they decided to stop the vehicle.
These clowns should be sacked, especially the Magistrate.
- Comment on NSW To Impose Minimum Age For E-Bikes Following Review 3 weeks ago:
They’ve been increasing enforcement recently and there was some outcry over police tactics that resulted in a death during a pursuit.
- Comment on Parents are paying $2500 to falsify vaccine records. It’s endangering babies like Riley 5 weeks ago:
Despite popular opinion being a doctor doesn’t mean you’re intelligent, it means you passed.
- Comment on My petty gripe: Australians just don’t know how to act right on public transport 9 months ago:
While no city has solved the problem of manspreading
There it is. Another woman who doesn’t understand there are physiological reasons men sit the way they do, yes for comfort.
Being uncomfortable is not a requirement for using public transport.
- Comment on Australian pharmacy 60-day prescription scenario brings positive result 1 year ago:
I made note of the pharmacies that ran that propaganda with signs with scare tactics on them and refuse to use any of them.
- Comment on Private health insurance is a dud. That’s why a majority of Australians don’t have it | Grogonomics 1 year ago:
You can basically get the cheapest plan around and try to use whatever benefits it does provide.
If you’re not going to be over the income threshold for the levy then I don’t think it ever really matters for you but I would need to check that.
- Comment on Calling Indigenous lore science marks Ed Husic’s ignorance 1 year ago:
The article, while not great, is clearly the refutation of claims made by Ed Husic. The onus of proof would then be on Ed.
From your first link
One only has to look at the origins of the word ‘Science’. It comes from the Latin word ‘Scientia’, which simply means ‘to know’.
To suggest that there are any groups of human beings who didn’t have science is, ironically, quite unscientific.
This completely dismisses that science is a formalised practice of the scientific method and is akin to claiming that any knowledge is science which I reject.
I have yet to read the other sources provided, which I will get to when I have the time.
- Comment on Calling Indigenous lore science marks Ed Husic’s ignorance 1 year ago:
Then show us a single hypothesis formed by Indigenous peoples pre-colonisation.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
Seems federated comments are several days behind.
Anyway that’s a swing and a miss, that stupid bitch died alone and taking social security payments.
I support Unions and workers.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
The Albanese government has delivered a tax cut to all Australians, and stopped spending money on sex workers through the NDIS.
You seem very uninformed.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
Aged care has economic benefits as fewer working age people are not required to care for the elderly.
This is very basic stuff.
Blowjobs don’t contribute anything to the economy.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
No the point was less fucking. Though I have got mine.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
You’re amusing enough but I wouldn’t call you a clown.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
Aged care, military and school funding al benefit society as a whole.
Paying for hookers does not benefit society as a whole and therefore it is not comparable, meaning you have made an argument of false equivalence.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
Taxes can be lowered if the government isn’t wasting money.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
You haven’t refuted my argument in the slightest.
Every cent I pay in taxes that are spent on something I don’t benefit from is literally money I no longer have to improve my own quality of life.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
I’m sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income
Hmmm looks like that’s an argument I never made, let’s check the definition of a straw man argument.
A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent’s argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent
Nothing about the straw man fallacy excludes hyperbole.
Under examples we can see
Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent’s argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.
Oh you thought I was talking about the very real possibility of someone wanting to commit suicide due to disability…. Tsk tsk.
As I said right from the outset, if there is no science to say that paying for hookers is a more effective use of money than other support methods then it shouldn’t be paid for by public funds.
No evidence, no funds, Im a happy man.
Do try to keep up.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
It’s alright, the government agrees with me.
No more blowjobs on NDIS dollars.
Guess your strawman will be offing itself soon.
- Comment on Lone Soldiers. New Australian IDF recruits due to arrive in Israel in January 1 year ago:
They should be refused re-entry to Australia.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
More of my tax is going to the NDIS than to Medicare.
I would rather funds be spent on Medicare than hookers but you do you.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
Well that’s a lot of false equivalence going on, good luck with that.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
And I have a need for some rest and relaxation from the daily grind. I would rather spend my money on myself than on hookers for someone else.
Weird I know.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
No I’m against it because I don’t believe in paying for sex, that sex workers are predatory and undeserving of public funds.
I was pointing out the political reality of the situation because regardless of my personal opinion the outcome will be decided by the electorate.
Again, welcome to reality, sometimes life sucks and then you die.
- Comment on NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal' 1 year ago:
Every government that has tried to tax billionaires more has been voted out.
No government is going to win an election when smear campaigns can truthfully say the government is paying for hookers.
Welcome to reality.
- Comment on One in five Australian renters are living without essential items and in poverty, peak body study finds 1 year ago:
When you break it down by region it makes a bit more sense but plenty of people are still doing it tough.
