Is this something we should worry our pretty little heads?

tainted water....how quaint.

Yes. But on a grander scale of things......why aren't we doing better than 30 years ago? Why are we consuming more power than ever before?
My heart goes out to Masao Yoshida and the Fukushima 50........I hope their efforts weren't in vain. But suspect they only stopped the tip of an iceberg.

My grandchildren will still be paying for Fukushima. I know it, and it saddens me that their grandchildren will be paying for whatever fuckup they produce.

All for the sake of excessive consumption.

Lament my ass - when did a MA in Sociology ever get you a job?

You clearly do not know about Project Camelot. The intelligence community uses such resources as social scienists of various types.

You seem to be unaware that we employ quite a few Sociologists here. Sociologists are excellent at helping us interpret and understand data we gather.

Don't worry about it... in 2 or three yeas you'll be able to plug your socket into a kid to listen to the wireless.

I know, i do pity the young.

Stanley Milgram proved otherwise. His experiment shows that all you require is a lab coat to tell people everything is ok and to keep torturing. What people got paid became irrelevant.
Bit of an eye opener. As raises the question - what if you were paid nothing, and got told to break the law because it was the "right thing to do" would you do it?

According to his studies the answer is yes. If someone (who appeared) more knowledgeable on the matter said it was ok. Even if it went against your own conscience.

Which raises the questions - in a protest. Who is a free thinker? Who's idea is it to break into a business? Who's idea was it to flip and burn cars?
I don't have the answers.

The wiki on his experiment is here - there is a video somewhere about it also. Well worth the watch.

No doubt... people vote don't they

Will have a wee read later.

I haz white jellybeans.

The gnomes saves them for us filthy capitalists.

Would you like one?

Nope... I like mine black, like my men.

Should the highlighted be scientists, or as I would have thought more likely, zionists?

Fracking settlement puts permanent gag order on 7-year-old and 10-year-old... what a world.

Stay-at-home mums are making a lifestyle choice and can expect no help with childcare costs, says Osborne... the nanny state kickin into action.

You're going to have to explain why a non-working parent would need commercial childcare.

And why taxpayers would fund it.

You're going to have to explain why a non-working parent would need commercial childcare.

And why taxpayers would fund it.

For those who have more than 1 kid. For the kid to "learn" how to socialise with other kids. To leave the little they have to pay for decent food, clothes etc... for them little growing bodies. Coz shit is fuckin expensive.

Coz it ain't all about the adults.

Why would he?

Why don't you explain us, what your reasons are for not having a communal interest in the general welfare and education of the next generation.



non working parent = usually the Mother of the future generation, and hopefully more and more the Fathers of the future generation.

And no there is no other reason to have paid parental leave for at least 3 month, paid for and or subsidised kindergartens, free education including higher education other than to offer the best upbringing to all of the future generation. It takes a village blah blah blah

However, I really would like to see your reasoning to the opposite. I know paying taxes for services that one does not use is painful, but as a "Nation" should we not have an interest to invest in the "next" generations of adults that will run this country?

So no real reason, then.

Wasn't that long ago "childcare" didn't exist. Children grew up none the worse for it, they learned to socialise just fine without professional oversight.

So again, in proper adult language, why would someone available 24/7 to care for their own kids need a taxpayer paid subcontractor to do it for them?

Fracking settlement puts permanent gag order on 7-year-old and 10-year-old... what a world.

They accepted a lot of money and that was (allegedly) part of the settlement. They could give the money back and sing like birds.
Speaking of money, aren't you outraged they gave up their principals for 750k?

But mainly, you are giving half the story:

The company, he said, has never issued gag orders on children and “we don’t believe the [Hallowich] settlement applies to children.”

Money for principals and more half-arsed propaganda from you, what a world indeed.
