In your fantasy scenario are Israel led by an elected terrorist organisation who killed and kidnapped hostages which they continue to hold without releasing them? Are you okay with the amount of civilians killed by the allies during World War 2?
-
I'm saying that very unfortunately virtually every war in history has collateral damage and that tragically innocents are killed. Is the ratio of innocent civilians to Hamas terrorists greatly higher than comparable urban wars on average? Or greatly lower?

Can second this. I went to a havant game last year and it was brilliant. Cheap to get in and get food and I had a chat with the subs bench on 70 minutes. Great value.

Hopefully a few more people will grasp the fact that there's a level of crossover here.

I saw that. Good to see that at least some of the Palestinians realise what the problem is here.

That's because for most people they are an afterthought.

Not sure you can blame the club for Wilcox leaving.

50 million would be excellent business given that it's pure profit in terms of FFP. That will go some way to compensate for the drop in revenue. If we did get 50 million would that be higher than the FFP profit we generated during the last relegation summer? I suppose we sold JWP which accounted for a chunk.

We need more of this.

Isn't one of the advantages of an electric car the fact that there are much less moving parts and thus need for spares?

Making reasonable and sensible steps over a good period of time in order to lessen our reliance on fossil fuels sounds like a good thing to do. That isn't what we are doing though is it and that's a strategic reason for doing it and has nothing to do with saving the planet or prevent extreme climate change which are the stated reasons given.

It's tantamount to fraud in my opinion but unfortunately there's political consensus from the major parties. Just making us poorer and our lives harder pointlessly

It would be silly to think of the past as perfect but there's been a growing problem over the last 15 years or so. I'd say the Internet is a huge part of it.

I've seen quite a few Democrat politicians calling for radical cuts in government spending and removing waste from a few years ago. I don't necessarily agree with DOGE but just interesting to note some of the loudest critics have video evidence of these people calling for that exact thing in the past. It's one reason to really dislike politics.

You haven't heard the discourse around toxic masculinity? What men need is purpose in their lives, a goal and empathy where people understand that men and women are fundamentally different on average and that solutions to their problems will normally differ significantly from their female counterparts. Crying and talking about feelings at every opportunity is not the sort of thing that is going to work for a lot of young boys and men and there isn't something wrong with a young adult male if that isn't something they want to engage with. Schools in particular are increasingly feminised spaces and agreeableness and so called 'kindness' (which is nothing of the sort) is what is prioritised. This starts at an early age where typical boyish behaviours such as rough and tumble play and healthy ways that young boys express themselves are often criticised by the predominantly female workforce. Go to the average nursery or early years classroom and see how many opportunities there are for role play with a home corner, arts and crafts, quiet activities that demand concentration etc. Of course there's nothing wrong with those and many boys like these too but look how many opportunities there are for other pursuits such as woodworking, highly active activities where boys can channel their energy and testosterone into positive directions. Look how many school trips are organised with the average boy in mind. Look how schools penalise boisterous behaviours with a lack of understanding that for many boys it is the frustration at having to sit still and quiet for hours at a time that causes this acting out in the first place. As they get older, children are terminally online and the discourse is terrible. Yes you have influences like the Tates but if you talk to young people you quickly realise that there is a loud online voice telling them they are oppressors for being who they are and that all masculinity is toxic. An increasing number have never been on a date in real life, many are opting out of relationships and worry about being accused of being inappropriate so opt out of interactions with the opposite sex entirely. The other side of it is all the porn that distorts expectations in relationships and that negatively impacts all young people. Boys need something to aspire to which is why Southgate is correct in that regard but they also need some surity about their place in the world now that the traditional order of things has changed. All this should start at home and parents should be giving their children a level of self confidence but also appropriate levels of discipline to treat others with respect. Boys in particular need to feel that they have self worth, that they have a clear purpose in life and that they are valued by the people around them and by society at large.

Yes but the point is they are liste ING to him because of how society has treated them. Give these boys better options and stop giving them a narrative that they are bad and that it's wrong to be who they are and he will lose his attraction for most.

I didn't even know him until a couple of years ago he was suddenly everywhere. Just ignore the bloke.

Wilfully misreading what I wrote. Well done.
-
He definitely only read the last post and none of the others. Egg all over his face as usual! It must be so hard for him when someone says something that doesn't align with the caricature he has of them in his head.

Soggy loves a troll.

I genuinely think that in his mind he thinks he has a noble cause and in fairness to him, from what I've seen he has a point about extremist islam and societal changes in the last few decades with some of what he says. The problem is that firstly he's a bit thick and many people who support him are openly racist and just want to attack Brown people and secondly he's in some weird partnership with the Blaze from Canada and Ezra lavant who is an extremely shady character along with proper grifters like Dan Wotton and that side of things is judt about pushing a false narrative and milking his supporters for donations. The authorities know that allowing him to get a kicking in prison could be one of the worst things to happen and those with a misplaced sense of grievance about him being unjustly persecuted will feel vindicated and likely want to take some actions themselves.

It will never not be funny how crap America is at real football.

He might be a lovely dad I've got no idea as I don't know him personally. What we can say for sure as that carrying on like this and getting jailed for something that was entirely avoidable is completely irresponsible parenting. If he loves his children then he had no need to do something so stupid. He hasn't achieved anything by continuing to show that film.
