  • In my home town ALL roads are 30kph, and like 50% of the intersections are roundabouts. The result is traffic just continuously flowing and you arrive much faster than before with the roads at 50kph. Other side effects are less gasoline use, less pollution from gas and tires, less accidents, less noise, basically less bad and more good.

    Add to that the great cycle and walking infrastructure and yeah, of course I’m talking about the Netherlands

  • The two things that have sown division in this world since forever, rich and poor, and religions

    I’d get rid of all religions if I could, but if not that, this is a good step. Schools are not about indoctrinated ideas, it’s about learning science and facts. Sure, teach about religions (and don’t skip the parts where religion absolutely fucked this world over sideways) but sldont condone the practice of it on school grounds.

    If you want to live in the stone Age then go back to a country where that is allowed. If you want to live in a civilized country, then don’t expect your religion to be catered to at every corner.
