I was wondering the same thing. And particularly, why did they choose "feels religious" for their headline stat?

by llimos 5y ago
They have Israel at 30% "feel religious" but also 51% "religion is important in daily life". I imagine "belief in God" would be higher still. It all depends on which question you ask. Perhaps a lot of Israelis

The downside is that the whole point of having women's sports was to give women a chance to win, which they would usually be unable to. What you are suggesting will again put biological women in the position where they cannot win. So y

Sport is about the body more than the brain. Particularly weightlifting.

The big difference is that these are genetic differences that already have a separate category, to compete against others with those same genetic differences.

House prices house prices house prices house prices house prices. When will the people who write these articles understand this? I am convinced that today's house prices are tearing apart the fabric of society, without exaggeration.

Is there anything anyone can do about all this? Or is this how Western civilization finally ends?

Ok, but why can't I use the same system for my income, and deduct my essentials like rent and power and water before I pay tax on the rest?

I'm Jewish too. I tend to think the last few thousand years have given us well-honed antisemitism detectors. I definitely see this as antisemitic. Would anyone dare to say about literally any other group "If I were x I wouldn&

That's the 'B' in the UBI. If people want more than the basic, they'll work. Just like today, most people don't stop building a career once they have a basic salary.
