Well your same line of logic could apply to a situation where a child is being overfed to the point they are morbidly obese. In both cases parents are doing somethibg that is damaging their children's health. Should it be live and let live in that circumstance?

Sorry no idea who my man is. It appears that with regards to David Duke there is this one single issue where it appears that he and I are in agreement, otherwise I wholeheartedly disagree with everything he stands for. I haven't read his exact quotes though so I could be wrong.

And potentially permanently blinding someone with pepper spray, smashing people over the head with bike locks which put them in hospital, beating people to the ground and kicking them in the face and head till they are concussed and that's before you mention things like getting people fired from their jobs or publicly destroying careers or accusing men of rape based on non existent evidence and before a trial has even occurred. The hard left are guilty of much but it's consistently downplayed by the mainstream media.

Exactly. Why do people have to jump through hoops. The media have made their money over the last few years largely ignoring militant organisations on the left and demonising every organisation left of centre as racist and hateful. A man of real integrity - Dr Jordan Peterson- has been the latest victim of this mischaracterisation when he was referred to in various outlets as a far right figure when he is nothing of the kind. Proper hate groups that cause violence and death should be called out for what they are and so too should those who abuse initiatives such as title 9 in the US which ruins the lives of young men without trial. Referring to all Conservative groups as racist bigots and all left leaning groups as regressive left snowflakes helps no one - that's not to say that these two groups do not exist though obviously.

How do you define attacks then? Because antifa attacks have consistently underreported such as when they smashed the place up i'm response to a speech from Milo yiannopoulos. And who said I was just referring to attacks specifically in America?

When has it ever been about "legends" on the banner? As far as I was aware, it's about people who represent different eras at the club. Lambert does that just as much as Markus imo.

As usual you are not clear in any way. When radical Islamists cause terrorist attacks I condemn radical Islam and those who commit terrorist attacks in the name of it. When racists run over and kill people and terrorist organisations on the left commit other acts of violence and smash up cities, pepper spray people so that they may be blinded etc I condemn the racists on the right AND the authoritarian left. I certainly don't try to justify violent acts from either side, violent acts of terror are never the answer. It's not hard to understand but I knew you would have trouble.

Potentially yes assuming we are talking about people with gender dysphoria- a psychological condition that deserves sympathy and treatment rather than brutal surgery or denying biological reality- and not those who call themselves trans because it's a fashionable thing they've heard about on tv. The whole thing about multiple genders is entirely absurd and real trans people will identify as either male or female because they are transitioning from one sex to the other one.

Couldn't disagree more. Whilst clearly sexual characteristics and body type account for a large portion of difference between males and females, numerous studies show that on average there are measurable differences between male and female brains too. Looking at differences in empathy, relationships, spacial awareness and a whole host of other factors shows that there are fundamental differences between men and women that are more than purely physical- again this is on average. It's what the Google memo controversy has been all about with people very quick to scream sexist without actually reading it and critiquing the very reasonable point Damore was making backed up by studies. As for this particular case, it's tantamount to child abuse and should be dealt with by the authorities accordingly.

Indeed. If anything they should be encouraging people to learn about him and the part he played in the slave trade rather than being airbrushed from history. Not that any of that excuses far right violence of course.

Legitimate protests I have no problem with but I'm sorry, antifa are a terrorist organisation who routinely use violence, intimidation and smash stuff up as a form of "protest". I don't care who the organisation are, these tactics should be reviled no matter who they come from.

Do These sound like the type of people you should be defending? https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/the-rise-of-the-violent-left/534192/

Hardly. I condemn both the hard right abd hard left here. antifa are scum in much the same way that the alt right are.

That would only make me an apologist if the vast majority of the attacks in recent memory were far right attacks and I were constantly repeating "what about far left attacks" to try and make some sort of false equivalency. Clearly that is not the case here since it is arguable that attacks from the likes of antifa have been at least as prevalent as attacks emanating from the far right. Both are abhorrent by the way and should be eradicated.

Speaking of charlottesville, I find it odd that the BBC is reporting that Trump is under fire for condemning the violence without specific reference to the far right. By all accounts, the alt left terrorist groups like antifa and black lives matter were just as culpable for causing violence and destruction. Both sides should be condemned.

Saints sure know how to dampen my enthusiasm.

Who said it did?

Can't stand posts like this just before the season starts. Watch us lose and draw the majority of these games now and be in the relegation zone...

I'll add that I have no idea if it worked in the UK today or not as it worked perfectly for me but I'm currently in a hotel room in Italy watching it on my phone.

I think they are working on a solution without a vpn but I think I'm just going to get one so it's future proofed.

North Korea has secret underground tunnels giving them access to the south for an invasion, the largest forced Labour camps in the world, literally thousands of missiles pointed at their nearest neighbours and routinely discuss firing nuclear warheads at other nations. Do plenty of other countries do that? That's before you look at their horrendous human rights abuses, how they allowed a huge percentage of their people to starve to death in the 90s when most of their money went on the military, how they are responsible for numerous cyber attacks and frauds around the world, how they brainwash their citizens and how they refuse to let their people leave the country. I'm sorry but there simply isn't a sensible comparison to make between hugely flawed democracies like America and the horror of north Korea.

No but having thousands of missiles pointed directly at your nearest neighbour whilst sporadically attacking and killing citizens of your nearest neighbour along with nuclear tests and threats to use them in unprovoked attacks does make a country a terrorist threat.

I'd rather have hazard than coutinho.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] what a comic! Pmsl SSA has produced a plethora of knee slappers here no doubt. Satire to rival or even surpass the likes of Mrs Brown's Boys and Miranda.

No because dins think they know something blindingly obvious that those who run the club in their mind do not know.
