hypochondriac

I don't think many people were equating directly between the two, but there is a tendency from some partisans on either "side" to try to play down actions that would be condemned were they being committed by their opponents. Thus you get the news reports about mostly peaceful fiery protests from cnn and the likes of fox news blaming the libs for the actions yesterday.

He was probably referring to black lives matter.

Thanks but I don't need some judgement of empathy from people on here whose level of empathy appears to fluctuate depending on the skin colour or political affiliation of the people involved. You have zero empathy for those you disagree with politically and then have the cheek to state that I lack empathy so your opinion can be safely disregarded.

The baddies? What are you talking about? Sounds like you need a lie down. The main difference between someone like myself and partisans like you is that I disavow and call out violence and lawlessness where I find it. That means calling it out regardless of which political affiliation happens to be tacitly or overtly endorsing it. I don't have to check if someone is on the left or the right before I condemn looting, rioting and violence. It appears that you have a somewhat different agenda.

Pointing out the laughable hypocrisy of cnn isn't solely a right wing trait. You can also do that and think that the scenes yesterday are a disgrace. Amazingly there is nuance in the world.

I think the fact this has taken place should turn an awful lot of people against him and you should hopefully see a rejection and acceptance of Biden. I could be wrong but that's my feeling.

Ah well in that case I agree with you and I apologise for the misunderstanding.

I missed out the word people. You and others like you keep bringing up other agitators as if I'm somehow an apologist for this sort of thing. I'm not and it's quite telling that you thought I'd be some sort of partisan for the right wing. I don't support violent protests and senseless destruction wherever it stems from and particularly when it comes from an inability to accept an election result and the refusal to enact the peaceful transfer of power. They are cretins and need locking up.

It's really weird that you keep bringing them up. The behaviour of these people is disgusting and they should be condemned unequivocally.

Also: what an absolute bunch of mindless pricks. The police should be steaming in full force on these twats.

At no point was I pointing to some hypothetical scenario where leftists would be involved in violent disorder and apologists would describe it as mostly peaceful.

Incorrect. I was not sarcastically trying to point out that if it were leftist protestors then people on that side would be trying to play it down.

Unending whoosh.

Double whoosh

Whoosh

I'm hearing reports that these protests in the Capital are mostly peaceful.

Jwp is absolutely insane. How he has managed to play so many consecutive minutes and continue to play so well I have no idea. Remarkable.

When I see something like that I think back to absolute pricks of managers past like Saggychops who didn't give a shiny shit about our club. Look at that genuine passion and emotion. We are so lucky to have him for and even if he leaves soon, he's been one hell of a manager for us.

It was WSS who mentioned the issue with hospitality not me.

Apologies if I wasn't clearer with my flippant comment on a messageboard. I'd be very surprised if the vast majority were not closed tomorrow. I know about 17 that have closed already.

Of course that's obvious. So if it were an option, moving classes to the summer for the children would take precedence over hospitality losing revenue.

I mean the connection between what I said and then that letter seems obvious.

I didn't say it said that did I.

I thought children were the priority?
