Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
hypochondriac replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Right but the definition of extreme is subjective so actually an incredibly large number of views could "give rise to hate" and "end up turning violent". Someone could call JK Rowling's views extreme for example and then someone could kill her because of them and blame the act of violence on her extreme views. -

100%. Even if they weren't though there's no place in civilised society for randoms acts of violence and murder. Problem is some people seem to think that violence is in some way excused because it is violence against someone who holds opposing political views. You can think that Ann Widdecombe was a cunt and simultaneously call out violence committed against her. -

What a sad post that reflects poorly on you. -

I'd say it's semantics really if some nutter has driven across half the country to kill someone because they dislike their political views. -
If that were true then Jander is definitely off.

I'll believe that we are signing a 9 million pound squad player in the championship when I see it.

Cool. May mean that Dobbin isn't the Stewart replacement.

I just think that's a load of shit. I think loads of politicians hold appaling views that makes people's lives much worse off. Zack Polanski holds some absoutely disgusting views that make people's lives worse. In no way does he deserve to be the subject of violence because of the views he holds. He would never be responsible if someone killed him in the manner that someone has done here. If the rest of the political establishment had any sense at all, they would utterly condemn all political violence from wherever it comes from. Instead there's a double standard at play where it's seen as less bad or even something be proud of if the violent aggressors are on the left against someone on the right. It's disgusting and should have no place in our society. If Nigel Farage gets killed at some point you know some people are going to be celebrating or making horrible remarks. The rise of social media has led to an acute loss of empathy in some people. -

How very sad. I think it's very much in the interest of other political figures that all this information comes to light as quickly as possible. Ridiculous that the police announced there was no evidence to suggest this wasn't politically motivated. The facts showed that to be nonsense almost straight away. -
I'm thinking 4 million at least.
-
We may do that but I would be deeply uneasy at the prospect of our last big hope for promotion next season being reliant on Downs or a youth team player for any significant period of time. I'd be far happier if Dobbins and Azaz shared attacking midfielder duties and he could possibly fill in for Scienza if he is still here. Oyekunle can then have the strikers role vacated by Archer Larin can play alongside Dobbin if necessary and we get a Stewart replacement to share the burden for Larin too. Downs can go out on loan again to hopefully restore some confidence.
-
Assuming that Archer and BBD leave, I'm not sure I'd want to go through an entire season with Larin, Dobben and then youth team players as our strikeforce. Dobben supposedly doesn't play up top on his own so what on earth would we do if Larin was injured for any length of time? We will need one more IMO.
-
He was 12 rising to 15 I believe. This transfer would maybe be in the top 20 of all time. I accept that transfers are only going up but I can't see us spending 9 million plus addons (maybe rising to 12?) for a backup.
-
Preston fans seem very complimentary though and describe him as a fantastic talent so that's promising.
-
we're not spending 9 million as a championship club on cover. He will be starting IMO. The only question is who he will start in place of.
-
And a downgrade on Scienza if we're being cynical. 9 million is a heck of a chunk of change to spend if he's an upgrade on Edozie or Robinson given that both were fringe players last season.
-
Slightly worried it means Scienza is off.
-
Not sure I ever suggested will salt should be facing any sort of ban. I'm sure there are shades of grey in all this though rather than black and white Tonda evil and will salt the Archangel Gabriel.
-
I'd rather the world cup stayed as it was prior to this tournament but I'd rather have 16 groups with the top two going through than whatever weird shit we had with the groups in this tournament.
-
Because it's bollocks clearly. He wasn't being bullied.
-
He's a grown adult. I still don't agree that he was some wide eyed innocent just following orders.
-
Would be quite odd if Tonda gets sacked and the one to keep his job after this is the bloke who actually did the filming.
-
If they do I think we would have a pretty good case. If you're going to ban him then it should have been done weeks ago in order to give us some certainty.
-
They're going to ban him the week before the season aren't they...
-
They have and it shouldn't happen to any politician, particularly those who at an increased risk of being assaulted.
