Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.


Rules and Guidelines


  • Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.

  • Satire is tolerated.

  • If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.

  • Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.

  • Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.

  • If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.

  • Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.

  • This thread is NOT the Flame Core.

  • These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.

  • Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.



With that out of the way, let the debates begin!

I like this rule. I foresee a lot of abuse by this though.

How 'bout:
  • No massive shitposting or intential derailing allowed.

  • Keep butthurt to a minimum.



Then maybe this thread won't devolve into the steaming heap of used diapers most P&R threads become.

Edit: Oops, forgot one!

I wouldn't expect this to catch on real fast.

Most restaurants where I live don't even have online ordering for delivery, let alone apps for in-house orders.

I really don't even see it reducing your need for staff; it just adjusts their duties, therefore fulfilling its stated purpose, which would be a win.

I'll give this thread a try...

Here's one thing Russia can't brag about or be blamed for.

Quote:
Tuesday's deadly shooting at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Ore., was the 74th school shooting since the Dec. 14, 2012, massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., according to Everytown, the grassroots gun control group launched earlier this year by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. (Everytown defines school shootings as incidents in which "a firearm was discharged inside a school building or on school or campus grounds" and includes "assaults, homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings.")

Put another way, there has been, on average, a school shooting every 7.33 days since the tragedy in Newtown — a statistic not lost on President Barack Obama.

"We're the only developed country on Earth where this happens," Obama said Tuesday during a question-and-answer session on Tumblr. "And it happens now once a week. And it's a one-day story. There's no place else like this."

Well, I think it is a good idea and money saver/stress reducer for the waitstaff and owner(s).

This would need to have a large test market before it can take off though. I foresee this starting in either an out-of-the-way metropolis (Kansas City comes to mind) or an country that is not adverse to technology (Japan comes to mind).

Naw, move the Democrats and Liberals to France.

Everyone is nude, even the ugly people.
105+% tax on the rich.
No guns at all.
No jobs either, but who cares?
Everyone is stuck up there, so they would feel right at home.

Forced deportation of people based on a specific political affiliation?

It would be illegal, so it would require an executive order to do it. No Republican president would do it because of the illegality of it though.
