Agreed - all Ghibli movies are beautiful in their own right, but taking that cinematic mastery and applying it in what is essentially a film about the tragedies of war?
Shivers.
I feel this so much in my 90s hatchback :'(
The SUV plague is a european phenomenon too.
...or you can be coding assembler - it's all just bits to me
At least in my country, this is already the norm. If it can't be used as food for humans in one way or another it can be used in countless otber contexts such as animal feed or fuel via biogas or biodiesel. Same applies to food waste from shops, restaurants and households.
Nothing goes to waste.
Yes, the current government in Sweden has actively been working on combating organized crime (which most of these murders are related to), but it takes time for new policies to come into effect.
Of course not, and even many objects should, at least in my opinion, be treated with some respect. I mostly agree with what you've written here.
To act as though we are above them
In my opinion, it is precisely because we are above them that we (or at least many of us) abhor unnecessary suffering and waste. The wolf however does not care when it slaughters a whole herd of sheep to eat just their livers and leave the rest to rot, neither does it hesitate to kill the zookeeper that has fed it for a decade when they slip up for just a moment.
Like deciding what animals live and die?
Yup, in most cases it is the owners of said animals that decide what happens to them, like with other property. The government trying to force (or prevent) putting an animal down would also be overreach.
The exceptions when it comes to property rights are generally when human beings are somehow endangered, which is where most rights and freedoms, sensibly, are limited.
I wouldn't be opposed to blanket bans on advertisingin certain contexts. This however is the state going nanny on the populace.
As a European atheist - it is of interest. The report might shed light on things I've seen happen in my own country. Progressive ideals being rolled back in the face of religious pressure. People being silenced when they criticize religion. Religious extrajudicial executions.
Christianity is wrong. Islam is wrong. Judaism is wrong. I know this.
I am not French, but I feel a huge gratitude that they are championing my rights to be free from religion. It is freedom from religion that allows me to post this comment without fear.
According to many religions, my very thoughts are blasphemous. Religious texts either outright state that I should be killed, or deem me subhuman.
Organized religions are designed to infiltrate, spread, control and finally dominate. They've been around much longer than modern secular democracies. They mustn't be underestimated.
