  • Stores have tried it. Customers hate it. Chiefly because many people simply don’t carry any coins on them. You can’t have all of your store’s registers set to card only mode (yes this is very common for some reason) and then expect people to have a coin on them at all times, so they don’t bother.

    It also seems trivially easy to circumvent. Easier than remembering to bring a quarter with you when you go to the store.










  • A law like that would be a violation of our rights

    We have a right to not clean up after ourselves? Tell me more

    The fact is you’re borrowing a cart from it’s owner, probably a store. If the store requires you to put it back and you don’t the they would be within their rights to sue you over it. The only reason they don’t is because their damages would be massively less valuable than their legal fees and the time it would take to present a lawsuit.


  • To be clear, nobody is saying that circumcision is always a human rights violation. Only when it is done to a child who cannot consent. If an adult were to choose to get circumcised then that would be his right.

    you cant take away peoples religious beliefs if they arent being enforced on people who arent in that belief.

    This is exactly the problem. Children are typically circumcised shortly after birth. They are not part of any belief and cannot even speak, let alone consent to something as serious and irreversible as a circumcision. It is being forced on them.

    People are allowed to have and practice their religion. They should not be allowed to force their beliefs on others, even their own kids.

    If course this all ignores the fact that many circumcisions (in the US at least) are not performed for explicitly religious reasons.


  • No, but thinking that most men look like ogres (including oneself) coupled with the apparent fixation on gender and it’s easy to see how people would come to that conclusion.

    gender dysphoria or whatever the kids call it nowadays

    You knew what ‘egg’ refers to in this context, but you’re unsure if ‘gender dysphoria’ is appropriate terminology? That’s simultaneously specifically knowledgeable and also totally clueless.
