Care to give an example? I've seen the same point brought up by several people (they don't usually seem as eloquent as you) but I've never seen a specific example of where a safe space was used to directly limit speech.

"Has anyone's life ever been made worse by "political correctness"?"
I guess in the most basic possible terms you could say, for someone who enjoys being racist/sexist and doesn't like being called out on it, their life is made worse when someone makes them feel bad.
But it certainly not hurting anyone.

Or just go with what people are going to call it anyway "The New Deadpool Film"

The Gay Division of The A.V. Club
"Fuck that charming asshole"

I guess but I don't think that's directly comparable.
A family is consistent, it's a specific group of people (you don't usually elect a new mother an father every 4 years).
I'd say it's more comparable to taking pride in having a "traditional" family (heterosexual, married parents), despite never having experienced…

I'm not so sure. Personally I'm not that excited for Strange (maybe because the last few MCU films left me cold and I'm bored of CabbagePatch) but I think they're promoting it less because it needs less promotion than Thor 3.
Like you said it has a huge star and I think the visually work really well for trailers so all…

No but I think he's loose more of his supports not standing for the national anthem than he has from most of his comments.
I think it's great to live in a country where a major political figure can refuse to stand for the national anathema and still remain electable, it's certainly a step in the right direction.

That's the best distinction I've heard.
I still find the whole concept a little weird. I guess the idea of loving a country (or any institutional system) is alien to me, especially when you haven't experienced the alternatives.
I've seen such a fine line between liking/loving 'your group' and disliking/hating 'the other…

The current leader of the opposition refused to stand for "God Save the Queen" and it was front page news but he's still the leader of the party (for now at least).
I don't think Trump or Hillary could survive doing something like that.

As all flags and national anthems basically celibate the something "look how resilient we are" couldn't we just simplify and have one universal flag and sing-song.
"Yay! Look at us we're all so resilient, unlike the other cultures will killed off or stepped on to get here".
Also resilience really is the bare-minimum of…

"too much of the country engages in nationalism rather than patriotism"
What's the difference again?
I've been trying to research specif differences but best I can tell is that they're two sides of the same coin.

"The TV license strictly speaking is just for the BBC"
It also goes to support ITV and Channel 4, although they have commercial revenue as well. They also fund the infrastructure and a bunch of other stuff.

That's according to their website, I didn't do much research beyond the first prices I saw on, there may be hidden costs I'm missing.
I guess we're lucky in the UK (or rather, you're really unlucky in the US). Although the actual selection we get on Netflix is crap and almost every other US services is geo-locked.

I wouldn't say people in poverty shouldn't get Netflix. What other options for entreatment do they have.
Ironically the people who could get the most use out of public libraries are unlikely to be able to access them because of the hours they work.
Personally I think piracy should be legal for anyone living below (or…

I don't pay £145 a year. My parents cut the cord yeas ago (even that price was too steep for them).
I'm not sure it's entirely comparable to what you would call "basic cable", you get all the BBC channels, ITV and Channel 4 and if you buy a set-top box you get all the free-to-watch digital channel which are mostly…

I do forget how much cable companies screw you over in the US.
In the UK, a TV licence is £145.50 a year (that covers the basic channels) and you can get high speed internet for about £25 a month.
So if Netflix hiked there prices by £2 that's almost a 5% increase in your total bill.

I think with more competition in the streaming market, with a lot of shows exclusive to one service it's not just the price of Netflix you have to consider any more.
More and more people are going to have Netflix and Hulu and Amazon, etc…
And if the price of one goes up too much they'll drop it from their roster, at…

I never understand the "It's just as much as an over-priced drink" comparison.
A lot of people I know don't spend $10 on a cocktail or $4 on a coffee (not on a regular basis).
If you have a strict budget, a few dollars a month is a big deal.

I would considering cancelling too, or convincing my housemates to pony up and split the bill.
I imagine they'll be a direct correlation between a price increase and people sharing accounts.
I know people cancelling now that they've cracked down on people in the UK accessing the US library.

It's a shame they only do steaming out the US. I'm tempted to get a disc service for a couple of months (my parents had it for years after we cut the cord before streaming was a thing).
I could probably catch-up on all the new releases I've missed, in 2 months and then cancel.
