  • Again: where is the forcing?

    They are ASKING people to donate their pets corpses. That is so far removed from forcing, I don’t know how to explain it, if you think that is forcing people to do something.

    If somebody asks for something, you are free to NOT do that thing. But those who want to not just put their pets in the ground, can use the offer.

    And regarding “not part of our culture”: you know that the act of putting cat babies in a sack and drowning them, because you couldn’t care for all of them, isn’t out of style that long, right? So that shows you 3 things: caring for pets means different things for different people, not everybody is opposed to killing pets and lastly: cultures change.








  • To explain in a nicer way where your error in thinking is:

    You don’t pay the taxes specified in the article on the whole amount of money you get for selling your house, only on the increased value compared to when you bought it.

    So as example: you buy the house for 1 million and sell it later for 2 million. Then the tax in the article is only applied to the 1 million difference, so you only give away part of the money that you got in addition to the value you bought the house for. So you always end up with more money than you paid for the house, just not the full value.
