Sorry. First time posting on this site for years. I guess I feel more like ranting and venting than putting forward an argument.:p

You talking about my family? I voted Remain, but I don't mind the idea of leaving, especially if the EU continues to slide right to stave off the right.(because that works so well...) I don't even think the media will grill the Tories much if things do go down the drain. As long as they look...

It's not a surprise, but the UK has a chronic problem with only seeing politics through £. The media and parties. Our government kills a lot of people because they(or their donors) save or make money doing(or often not doing) anything. The only reason the issue split the establishment so...

Oh yeah, I'm sure these are exactly the same kind of people wanting to be listened to after shootings. Gee, aren't we lucky a young person somewhere has done something stupid eh? Otherwise we might have to listen to them when they demand action so as not to be shot at and friends killed.

US culture is exported and, to varying degrees, assimilated into every predominately English speaking country on the planet(and arguably many non-anglosphere countries too). Heck, US rightwingers are the first to soapbox about how Europe's culture is even more un/anti-Christian, even more...

I doubt the swing voters who voted Trump care much about the wall, those that do want the wall will probably still vote Trump no matter what in opposition to the Dem candidate. It's a shame there's no way of triggering an early presidential election (to my knowledge at least). Republican's...

Actually, I think heard the other day that the rise in sales after shooting doesn't happen anymore, or at least, isn't as drastic. *Checks* Ah: Gun Sales in America Have Stopped Spiking After Mass Shootings Of course, this isn't exactly good news. A few possible factors: 1) Trump and...

I'm sure Ben was very Nice to Donald, and he and a lot of their voters want it; so what if upsets a few aggressive people. Not Trumps problem. Palestinians need to have a long hard think about why they have to live behind walls, don't deserve any land and have to be occupied by Israel.

Sadly only 8.2% of our energy is generated via renewables, and that was the 2015 figure. The Conservative government has since ended all support for green technologies and banned the construction of new onshore wind farms, while pushing for fracking , even overruling local council fracking bans...

I am humourless. Or at least, that's what 21st century doctors tell me.

*sgih* I'm kinda jealous. If I were to take up some creative outlet, it would have to be one where my shaky hands wouldn't get in the way... Maybe find my own art style...

The issue of trigger warnings has always seemed pretty pointless to me. Also, kind of irritating when people come forward, or instances are referenced where they were useful, or could have been, but are then told most people who want trigger warning don't need them, so opposing them is still...

It's really depressing same-sex couples getting married is such a problem for so many people. Call them unnatural and delusional if you(collective) must; but they're not the one with massive hang-ups on other people's love lives/relationships which should be none of your business. Religion or...

Huh. I guess it's possible if they get hot enough. But perhaps unlikely? Regardless, I wouldn't recommend sleeping under campaign slogans and signage long-term in general.

Nothing is going to happen because this was fake news promoted on the basis of a few fascists role playing as antifa on Twitter. Well, not unless some real antifa were dumb enough to buy into it; guess we will find out.

My take would be that he probably did it because he's been irritated by liberals who have been complaining that he hasn't done enough/acted fast enough to help Puerto Rican Americans, and he is a bitter and cruel man incapable of basic empathy.

I'll start by saying I don't think they should of gone up in the first place. But perhaps nothing could of been done to prevent such. As for now, yes, I think they should be taken down. We don't need monuments which celebrate people who essentially represent the wrong side of what are still...

There are no "races" for cats and dogs. Breeds are not analogous to races. Breeds are created through selective breeding, to promote certain physical features or behaviours. Though the distinction between different breeds is similarly as meaningless as the distinction between races. Largely...

It is considered as such by most international political bodies. We write our laws, it's up to us to decide what are and aren't fundamental rights. A right to healthcare improves quality of life and provides many other benefits with few negative side effects. It's also hard to argue against the...

May I enquire what lead you to believe such? I know it is a very popular belief among folk who aren't so keen on gay rights, but it's pretty baseless, as well as tasteless. Be it due to inadvertently accusing people's parents of molestation, or simply having a distant father; as if having a...
