  1. Read this thread as that point has been covered a few times.
  2. What's a correct gun?
  3. Anyone else having a Saints detox? The minute the final whistle went, I turned off the telly and other than posting a couple of things on here I haven't seen or heard anything else. Probably for the best then I can pretend it didn't happen.
  4. It's also not an outlandish thing to suppose that some relatives will encourage either subtley or overtly someone to hurry up and die so that they can claim their inheritance. Lighthouse has laughed at this scenario as if it's something ridiculous. I accept it would be a minority of cases but it absolutely will happen and it's an entirely plausible and valid concern to have with human nature being what it is.
  5. I can only conclude that you simply didn't read at least half of the examples I gave if you're describing them as simply cases of unprofessional or rude staff. You're also failing to understand-again- that's it's not forcing people to die against their will, it's about the person themselves feeling coerced to do so or to consent so as not to be a burden of which there are many examples where similar laws have been introduced. Did you ever end up watching the documentary with some semblance of an open mind?
  6. Yes he does. It's a noted departure from his usual posting style and he can't seem to understand the implications from this sort of law and he keeps repeating the fallacy that this is simply allowing terminally ill people to end their lives a tiny bit earlier. It's surprised me to be honest.
  7. Good on Wes if he does vote against.

    Israel

    Show me where I said the war involved Isis. When you can't find it come back and apologise. Find where I said that Iran and Isis are identical and when you can't find me saying that come back and apologise. Show me anywhere where I suggested that I am not entirely aware of tensions between different middle Eastern States I bthe region. Like I said you're either doing it on purpose or you really are unaware of the point I was making. Go and read back my posts very slowly and it may become clearer to you. You're simply inventing something I didn't say.
  9. Lol. Can't even be bothered to talk about it.

    I think you're deliberately pretending to be dense at this point. No point in engaging further as you aren't willing to have a sensible conversation.

    Israel

    No I didn't say they were buddies you imbecile. They both share an extremist ideology of Islam and both despise Israel to the degree that they would continue to fight and murder them regardless of what Israel did. “The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam,” Is a quote that applies to Hamas as much as ISIS. How is that a difficult concept for you to grasp? As I said to you, you can't judge the war in Gaza without placing it in the context of other similar wars. Otherwise youre holding Israel to an entirely different standard that you wouldn't hold other nations to.

    Israel

    What you've said there makes no sense whatsoever. I would have thought that the link between ISIS and Hamas would be obvious, even for you. I wonder if you can think of something in common that they might share? Of course other conflicts are relevant to this one. Simply condemning Israel for civilian deaths without looking at similar wars for context just proves that you're hellbent on holding the Israelis to a different standard. There's a word for that.
  13. "My point anyway was that she is clearly not doing as well as she was previously so you would imagine she would take any opportunity to get herself out there in order to persuade voters to come out for her."
  14. Please win saints if only to give us something to play for this year. The rest of the season will be pretty depressing if we are essentially relegated by December.
  15. Russell Martin is a slightly above average championship manager. A manager at that level with the players we had last year will always have a reasonable chance of promotion. Conversely, that same manager will always have a good chance of relegation in the league above with a lower level of players for that league. Admittedly I didn't think we would be doing quite as badly as we are.
  16. Anyone else rather surprised that we've not seen a minute of Ronnie Edwards in the league this season? The way he was built up I before he signed I thought he'd be on the bench with a few minutes at the very least.
  17. Glad you are accepting it was actually someone from the magazine and that I wasn't duped. I'm not saying she was hiding, I said I my opinion it was a bad decision not to do the long form interview as Biden and Trump did and I also think it was a mistake to miss the dinner yesterday to become the first candidate to miss it in over 40 years. The impression that gives in my view is not a positive one. Your second paragraph I largely agree. A competent and semi-inspiring candidate should by rights be wiping the floor with Trump. Kamala's word vomit, lack of poise and identity politics spiel is putting her in danger of losing an election that she really should be winning handily.

    Name one other modern urban war that has had a lower ratio of women and children dead to enemy combatant.

    Israel

    What does one group who follows an extremist interpretation of Islam have to do with another group who follows an extremist interpretation of the same religion? Is there any sign that Hamas don't want to continually kill Jews in the same fashion? That they don't hate Israelis because of who they are and that the fact they are in Israel is of secondary importance? Like I said, civilians die in wars. The civilian to combatant death ratio in this urban modern war is vastly lower than other comparable wars in history. Presumably you hold every other country who has engaged in similar wars to the same standard and condemn them?

    An historically low number compared to combatants killed in urban modern warfare. Well done Israel. Obviously it won't be the end of it: In a piece entitled “Why We Hate You & Why We Fight You,” the group sets out six points explaining the justifications for their hatred of the West. It mentions, in order, the West’s disbelief in Islam, the prevalence of secularism, atheism, ‘transgressions’ against Islam, military operations, and territorial incursions. While this ordering alone spells out what ISIS considers the most significant reasons for its actions, the group insists it is “important to understand” that “foreign policies” occupy only a secondary position. “The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam,” the article says.
  21. Great post I quite agree.
  22. Nah I'm not convinced by that. People always blame the electorate. Biden was never that impressive and he managed to beat Trump rather handily so if that isn't the case this time then her and the wider Democrat party aren't going to escape blame by saying people voting for Trump are thick and racist. Democrats should be looking at how they could broaden their appeal and speak to some of those people in the flyover states who feel left behind or who need some hope. My suspicion is a lot of people will hold their nose and vote for Trump and like I said that's an indictment on the Democrats who have had years to get ready for this and have messed a lot up by failing to boot Biden out earlier and having a proper election process. There should also definitely be less of this garbage which is the sort of thing that would be laughed at in the UK.
  23. I think what she did was wrong but I still think a prison sentence of that length for very unpleasant words posted on the Internet is not something I can agree with even if you think it amounted to incitement which I'm not particularly convinced by. I'd genuinely say the same thing if it were just stop oil activists writing that about their ideological opponents.

    Israel

    Actually, given the incredibly low civilian to militant casualty rate compared to the average in urban warfare, Israel's success is unprecedented.
