The automation thing generally isn’t covered well in the media, there will always be some jobs that require humans. Which would be the jobs of designing and repairing the robots when they are broken. It is possible to automate these things too, but it quite far outside of our current technology. And it would be very dangerous to completely rely on machines for everything.
In the U.S., we have kiosks that ring up our groceries without a person – one staffmember to fix problems for 6-8 lanes.
Those are very common in the UK, every supermarket has had them for few years now.
vehicles driving themselves
I’m not sure that self driving cars will ever actually happen. The technology for them has existed for awhile, and it is a massive improvment over human drivers. The problem is that for them to work properly would require a complete ban on human drivers, who can’t communicate with the other automated cars. This would meet a lot of resistance from groups such as taxi drivers, lorry drives and people who own classic cars. It would also require a lot of infrastructure work in the UK to replace roundabouts with itersections, which are much more efficent for robots as they don’t need traffic lights.
But, how will people afford to live without jobs? People that are not inherently wealthy, or do not possess land?
As for the ecconomic aspect, I don’t know what the solution is. Left leaning people would propose that a universal income would solve everything. But history has shown that doesn’t work, as there is no incentive for people to contribute anything, or to a good job if their income is guarenteed anyway.

I am curious Draculina, why do you object to the quote and not the actual racist abuse which was aimed at Sophia personally.
I object to the abuse, but I don’t see what talking about it adds to this discussion. That, and it’s what the person who sent the abuse probably wanted to happen.
Unless something has totally bypassed me here, Sophia quoted the hate speech someone directed at her, on this site. Abuse based on race and skin colour. An arrestable offense under current UK legislation, if it happened in the “real” world. From what I have read on this thread, objecting to the word “golliwog” in todays multicultural Britain, appears perfectly reasonable and perfectly logical based on readily available evidence.
That was my point, it wasn’t the words that she said that were offensive because her intent was to quote someone else rather than to cause offense.
Tell you who IS racist…against white people….
Yeah, I don’t like her either. But that’s the Labour party for you.

I should have been aware as there are many different kinds of Indians….I have never even heard of the two singled out by Drac….I can also see her itching to say muslims are a faith and Indians are a nation
maybe she will change it now because I pointed it out I’m aware that there are many religions (including Islam) in India, and variants of those religions. But I don’t see how it changes what I said. India is a country, and not all Hindus / Sikhs / ect are Indian.
I shall admit my ignorance and state I honestly had no idea there are different kinds of Muslims. i just thought Muslims were Muslims. I just tried google and it makes no sense….so….can you explain in English, the difference between the Muslims you mention? You say they are the ones that cause the problems. You mean the extremists and The ones in Germany and Sweden, Italy and Greece causing chaos?
There are two main divisions in Islam, Sunni and Shia. This split happened very early in Islam after Muhammad died, over who should be his successor. There are some other branches, but I am not very familiar with them. Most Islamic countries are Sunni, with the exceptions of Iran and Iraq from memory, who are Shia.
The sects that I mentioned, Salafi and Wahhabi are conservative movements of the Sunni branch, and are very much similar to each other. The main problem with these are their militant interpretation of what jihad is, and so are very hostile to non muslims, and in a lot of cases muslims who do not follow their teachings. This is the main form of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia (Salafi) and ISIS (Wahhabi), which is why you will usually find Saudi investments behind mosques that teach extremist views.

Saw a program yesterday called Muslims like Us….very interesting viewing Was an experiment putting 10 muslims from different walks of life together in a house for a week or maybe 2 then halfway through they had 4 visitors…non muslim to add their take on British life and to learn more about Islam.
I just googled it, it’s made by the BBC so it can’t be trusted at all. But I might watch it later.
I’m going to guess they didn’t choose any Salafi or Wahabi muslims (The ones that are the problem) as part of ‘different walks of life’.
I absolutely agree that what Sophia quoted is racist and I don’t agree it was ‘merely’ for effect or ‘parody’, or trolling, or banter to get a reaction. Or all the other vague excuses people trot out in an attempt to justify bigoted language or behaviour.
Motivation is an important part of the legal system, its very strange to me that you would just discard it for no real reason.
If motivation isn’t important, and only ‘using bigoted language’ then Sophia is guilty of racism by saying :
Bounty Hunter: ur the whore who shags ni ggers then moans on the boards someone calls them golliwogs u dirty kunt
As she used the offending language in a post. Do you not see what the problem with the logic you are using is?
I just can’t take the predominantly white liberal class nor the liberal MSM seriously though, when they play the race card so glibly as and when it suits them.
I would not describe these people as liberals, they are progressives. What they promote is the opposite of liberalism. They don’t actually care about racism though, consider the conditions attached to most of the BBC’s job adverts:
This is very clearly a ‘no white people allowed’ clause, but nobody makes an issue about it. If they said ‘no black people allowed’ instead there would be riots on the streets outside of BBC HQ.
I am not surprised you pretend not to know the point I’m making….
Then please explain it.
Killing someone by accident isn’t murder, legally.
