And these people can club together and find each other and get egged on.
-
Yep agree with that. Very little that can be done if its not picked up by the people around them and these people offered support before it's too late. As you say at least we aren't in America.
-
There was clearly an opportunity to do things better than this. Processing quite a few people and a small amount getting left behind isn't exactly the same as the current situation is it.
-
Exactly. I don't see how anyone could look at this situation and not think it's absolutely horrendous.
-
Leaving thousands of people who would otherwise have left safely at the mercy of the Taliban is the issue. A scramble to remove American and British nationals is a shameful embarrassment not to mention Afghani allies.
-
I didn't mention anything about why they were left, I was simply saying how awful it looks. Pictures beamed around the world of the Taliban in position of all this US military hardware looks terrible no matter what the reason for it being left. To leave in the manner that they did is an awful strategic error that was a huge mistake.
-
Indeed. The problem isn't that they left its that they did it and then had no idea that everything would fall apart so quickly. It's a giant intelligence failure and it will cost many many lives. The sight of planes and weapons marked with US on them being stolen and used by the Taliban is nauseating. The people responsible should be ashamed.

Don't be silly. The difference is obvious I don't have to spell it out. As you have said yourself, we currently have no evidence to establish if this was done in service of a political or religious ideology or if he simply got pissed off at his mum. The fact it may have been being an Incel that made him angry in the first case doesn't make it terrorism. It's tragic and horrible whatever it turns out to be anyway.

I've just seen a press conference of Biden from a month ago. Bloody hell the sheer incompetence is breathtaking.
-
I don't want soggy banned. On the contrary I think his posts should be highlighted and he should be free to post his bigoted and horrid views. The more people who see them, the more people understand who he is and they lose any sympathy they may have had for him like the poster above.
-
He's repeated the claims numerous times. They are disgusting slurs that no one has ever levelled at him yet he considers it acceptable to throw these sort of accusations about which says a lot about the type of person he is.
-
I don't think anyone needs a lecture about trolling from the likes of you. You'd think someone who has embarrassed themselves to such an extent on this thread would do the dignified thing and maintain a silence but I didn't imagine you would do.
-
Not sure how you can call something terrorism if we don't know if the act itself was to further a political ideology. As someone else said, it sounds like he had a barney with his mum. You've said yourself you don't know if the act itself was political. It's rather like if a committed islamist got angry and killed someone it wouldn't necessarily be an act of terrorism.
-
I haven't seen evidence that this violence was in pursuit of political aims which is the definition of a terrorist. It seems on the face of it that it was just lashingnoutnwoth general anger at the world and those close to him.
-
TBF though I don't think it's helpful to expand the definition of terrorist either. Its debatable in this case I reckon.
-
I think I could handle things better if we were just shite. What's so infuriating is that we obviously have a bit about us when we play a bit of football and look dangerous. It makes it so much more disappointing when we inevitably toss it away by refusing to adapt during a game and allowing another team to get on top and see things out. Without ings to grab a game by the scruff of the neck I fear for us. Experience at the back or the middle of the park badly needed to avoid relegation imo.
-
I'm so sick and tired of throwing away leads. It's tiresome.
-
What a shocking second half. CB and goalkeeper need replacing.
-
I thought it was mad not to pick kwp but fair play I was wrong! I'd maybe play livramento on the wing he looks incredible.
-
Walker Peters on the bench makes zero sense. Also no Stuart Armstrong? Bizarre.
-
Again, the point being made was not about whether rainbow shirts annoy people, it was talking about the motivations behind some of the people who support it. I assume you're being wilfully ignorant. Oh an ostracising people who don't like rainbow shirts is absurd. Someone on this very thread is gay and thought they were complete cringe and presumably doesn't support them. Should he be ostracised?
-
Well he's got what he wanted hasn't he. No doubt he will be back on saying it was all a big joke but as someone with a young child myself I don't find making light of this situation particularly big or clever. He's a sad and pathetic old man living in his 99% white leafy neighbourhood, getting his hair cut by Muhammed, his shoes shined by Raheem and thinking he can lecture everyone else about the correct way to live and what is morally acceptable. Like I said earlier he deserves all the mockery he gets because he brings it on himself.
-
When people say soggy gets a hard time on here, this post will be exhibit A for the rebuttal. He puts a winky smiley like its all a joke but the sad thing Is you know he believes what he writes. Just pathetic and he deserves all the derision he gets on here.

My boyfriend would disagree.
