    *Raises hand, quietly looking around.*

    You guys don't have that?
    I don't often see potholes, but when I do, they're usually fixed in 24 hours.

    Must be the Swedish system of mixed ideas working... Somewhat... They can fix potholes in the hood, but not gang crime.

    Regarding the topic, protecting kids is important, but I hope this isn't just the starting shots for more censorship. Which it doesn't seem to be.

    Just right of center.
    I guess I didn't think there was any debate (among decent people, anyway) about whether or not Jews should be allowed to live.

    Speaking as a long-time and active member here, I'd prefer you delete my posts you find objectionable, rather than editing them to say what you want them to say.
     
  5. Hey, my council just fixed a road full of potholes recently. Only took them 3 years, as well!

    I don’t think anyone here is saying there is, but the Palestinian question isn’t as black and white as that… and in general the issues attaching to Palestine should be discussed in the debate room

    on your second point I’ve now deleted the post and posts responding in its entirety, it would be good if we could keep this thread on topic

    Haha. Yeah, I've heard that about Sweden and its environs.

    I am getting a strong sense that AI will be put to more use and will have control over what is available to online access, as it might be with algorithms.

    Like the age restriction on Facebook and other sites, where it is a prompt that asks in you are over X years old. To be valid there needs to be something more than that. What kid is going to say no to that type of prompt if they want to see what is inside the site?
