  • Instead of an ad hominem attack you could try and explain it better.

  • Not really, I'm just trying to understand their position. It's not combative to ask pertinent questions.

  • So do you think it's fair for a group of people to raid a farm and pick what they haven't contributed to growing as long as they take just enough to feed themselves, piggybacking off the work of the farmer? Why should the farmer agree to this?

    Edit: rewrote the question to satisfy people who think asking questions about is somehow combative.

  • Wrong.

    Beans are the seeds of a legume. They contain starch but aren't "a starch".

    If you're going to be pedantic be correct.

  • There would also be no incentive for anyone to produce anything beyond what they personally need, which would definitely lead to widespread food shortages. The more food that is produced at once the more efficient the labour is per crop, which is exactly why farms boomed in size after the industrial revolution and advent of farming machinery.

  • Yes too young to remember. Interesting.

    Still though, the difference was stark. It does seem like less people slip through the net in the UK from my admittedly limited experience.

  • Look up Tibetan sky burials. They just stick your corpse on a mountain and the vultures feast away.

  • I'm British and we have our fair share of crazy homeless people. However, I was absolutely shocked when I visited San Francisco at the levels of crazy I saw wandering the streets. It was unbelievable and would just straight up not happen in the UK, these people would be in a hospital or care home.

    • Anything else?

  • Yes generally, but adopted animals can absolutely have challenging behavoural issues that not everyone is suited to deal with. It depends on your situation I think but absolutely more people should adopt.

  • Small scale farming would not be able to sustain the human population as it stands.

  • What should happen is that the people who haven't sowed the crops could do some work in order to earn access to the crops. Then we could create some kind of system whereby people get rewarded for the work they provide with an abstract token. We could call this money and people could exchange it for goods and services.

  • So if you spend months preparing a harvest, you'd be cool with someone turning up in the night and taking the crops after you've done all the hard work? After all the land wouldn't being to you.
