So a British university in China follows and respects Chinese traditions/ ceremonies /laws and they're called bad/evil.

I'm assuming the students aren't Chinese due to the wording of "having to follow the same rules as homegrown students", so yes forcing non Chinese people to pledge allegence to the political party and attend parades is bad, whether it's tradition or not. It's just weird.

It would be equally bad if we forced foreign students to participate in our traditions (whatever they are), especially making them pledge allegence to a political party.

But If there was a Chinese university over here and they refused to follow British traditions and ceremonies and laws they would be kicked out.

No they wouldn't, they'd turn a blind eye and keep accepting money.

Same! For our team we were pretty much dead in the water for a while, so was a rather calm start to the day.

Haven't had it since the 90's.

Never even heard of having it on fish finger butties! Surely that's tartar sauce territory?

I like the "maybemaybemaybe" sub and also just seeing more diverse takes on current topics. Plus the formula1 subreddit has way more discussion.

My new account has insufficient karma to post (another petty rule)

This drives me up the wall, especially when they don't even tell you how much you need. I get why they do it, but it just promotes shit-posting in other subreddits for the sole purpose of being able to post in another subreddit.

Do you think she's adding her own manure in that picture? Maybe that's the secret to huge pumpkins.

I disagreed with this comment but it shouldn't have been removed IMO

That doesn't mean people should be executed because they're suspected of something, their guilt needs to be proved first.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lol seriously. It's things like this that put me off this site. It's unhinged. If any other state executed people in the streets without due process these same people would be up in arms, calling them fascists. But Hamas do it and it's all good. I'm convinced some users here see any criticism of Hamas as meaning that it's a show of support for the IDF/Israel.

Do you approve of executing accused people without actually proving that they're guilty of being accused of first?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That is not the ideal that Your Party is set up on. Rules have not yet been agreed.

What's to stop the members from choosing policy that go against Corbyn's and Zarah's vision? That's what I find confusing. The members might make up a load of right wing policies, then what? Who's going to step in and go "actually, that's not what we envisioned, you can't do that."?
