Will some reporter please just ask him what part of it is the hoax? Is he saying the whole thing was a hoax and that kids weren’t raped? That seems like such a basic question for a reporter to ask. He gets away with saying all this shit because reporters just let him.

Theses people think way too highly of themselves. All of them are easily replaceable.

I’d wait till he actually does something. His words are often nothing more than a distraction.

Who’s gonna take care of everyone when earth reaches it’s carrying capacity? Which is actually decreasing as we continue to ravage the planet.

Oh yeah who cares? It’ll just be all the poor who suffer and die.

Um I never said anything about giving control to anyone… in fact I specifically said “voluntarily”… you seem like an angry person who is looking for things to be mad about. I’m not sure how you jumped to calling me a nazi.

I have thought about what I’m saying, have you? Unwanted pregnancies are something that by definition nobody wants. All I said was that this could be a way to address that, and you took that simple idea and ran to crazy town with it.

I’ll never understand people who complain about population decline. It’s a good thing. There are too many people here already. My thought on reading the headline was that it could be used in a different way. Everyone could be voluntarily sterilized, and then when they are ready and willing to have a kid they could use this new method to produce sex cells. No more unwanted pregnancies.

Sure. Anyone with nukes could give them to anyone else, but what happens after? If someone gave Iran nukes, then what’s to stop the US or France or somebody giving nukes to Ukraine or Taiwan. Ultimately it’s too big a risk. Even if two countries are close allies now doesn’t mean they will always be, and the nukes can’t be taken back once given.

Passing an exam sounds good to me, but the paranoid part of me thinks that requirement could be manipulated and corrupted. Even so, that would only give you a pool to select from. It doesnt decide who gets which position. As far as having peer selection, that would be very vulnerable to turning into a good ole boy network.

What are the other options?

Edit: why would someone down vote a question? It’s not like it’s even a leading question.

I’ll try to answer myself. Options for how a judge is put in their position:

Elected or appointed. Are there any other options?

If they are appointed then you better really trust whoever does the appointing because you will have no recourse if they are a bad fit.

Feeding the ego of those on top by ANY means necessary.

Maybe don’t rely on rt for news… zelensky’s popularity shot up after Trump and Vance’s oval office disgrace. Trump then sent people to try to convince zelensky’s opposition to push for elections, and even the opposition told them to fuck off.
