I've never even heard of Dailywire until today. As I explained earlier that was the first result I came across.

I would say it's more the policy makers who're the problem here, as what you see at the bottom is a reflection of what's going on at the top. A big part of the problem is having a system which protects bad cops and persecutes good cops. I'm just sick of people using incidents like this as an excuse to advance other motives.

Lol, saying I'm "trying desperately to be right"? That was the first result that came up in a search. Whether you don't believe it out of choice or are "desperately" trying to frame the debate in a way that suits your narrative is of little consequence to me. But the whole white racist KKKops narrative is both wrong, destructive and more importantly a massive distraction from much more important issues related to police brutality in America.

From speaking to dozens of black people online, a lot of them don't like BLM and don't view it as an organisation that speaks for them. In many ways I don't see it as a whole lot different from those feminist, LGBT and climate change movements. They're mostly used as a front to advance their hard left wing agenda. They only care when a white man/cop shoots a black person and ignore all the senseless killings that happen in their own communities. A little fact for those who like to race bait. A black cop is twice as likely to shoot a black person than a white cop is.

The highest suicide rates are generally found in South-East Asia, which have very strict gun laws. The only place in the world which tops that is Greenland.

Suicide is generally mulled over a long period of time. So I don't think a viable method would be that hard to come up with for most people.

If you're talking in terms of "gun deaths", then you're being intellectually dishonest. As the vast majority of them are the result of suicide. If someone wants to kill themselves, or someone else. They'll do it by whatever means.

TBF, it was knee jerk legislation that was rammed through parliament. After one particularly heated OF game in 2011. What pisses me off most about stuff like this. Is that it was done in the name of feel good politics. In an attempt to appeal to the lowest common denominator who don't follow or know much about football. The only reason it didn't face much resistance was because 99% of the population are unaffected by it. However, look on the bright side. Chances are it will get repealed in the not too distant future, and it's much easier to achieve. Given that it was passed at Holyrood; and not Westminster or the EU. Sorry, I don't take well to the "If you've done nothing wrong. You have nothing to fear" talk. As the chances are, it will effect you or someone you care about down the line. Anything that's vaguely written in a way that could make anyone a criminal is worrying. Especially if you happen to get people in power who become abusive with it. By using it to target their political enemies or people they don't like in general. I'm sure you've probably heard of that quote in relation to Nazi Germany when the everyday person wasn't bothered about government overreach. As long as it didn't effect them.

Lol at people trying to bring up sectarian singing in an attempt to point score over The Rangers fans. Yes, it has a place, but that's relegated to an almost irrelevant side issue. When you consider what took place after full time. You have alleged assaults; damage to pitch and goals; fighting on the pitch between fans as well as the massive hold up that caused to the cup ceremony.

I understand the Hibs fans pitch invasion, but I don't understand why The Rangers fans were doing it as well.

Not that I'm defending Ad Lib, but I take issue with your reasoning. Decriminalizing something does not mean you approve of something. It just means you don't believe people should be arrested, fined or imprisoned for it. We need to focus on pursuing the most serious crimes and avoid involving police or courts for what would be considered a non-violent offence.

The McManus, Ding match trumps the Hawkins O'Sullivan match in terms of overall standard IMO. I must admit this Worlds has got me questioning if there is really that much difference between the top players anymore.

So why is there careers that have great imbalances between the men and women who are doing them?

I have three little words for you "prove me wrong".

There's been countless studies been done on the differences between men and women and they're practically a different species once you get down to it. The most fundamental difference being the care based morality women have; and justice based morality men have.

This coming from the guy who says anyone who disagrees with him on the issues relating to homosexuality is a homophobe. Talk about intolerance there. I take it gender is a social construct too?

Xenophobic yes; sectarian no.

I don't think anyone could live with Ding the way he was playing in the opening frames of the match. However, credit to McManus for hanging in there. I do feel bad losing my coupon on Higgins in the previous round, but I'm definitely rooting for McManus now. There is no reason for him to be worried about Selby. Should he face him in the final.

Your "paraphrasing" doesn't even remotely match that statement. No attempt to ask for clarification or further explanations, and the one question that has come up is the least relevant. The lining of questioning would have been "What do you mean by civilization cycle?" (admittedly I should have used a different term, because trigger word culture is awash on this forum". Followed by "Can you provide a case study? and then "Can you provide further examples?" However, being faced with instant dismissals, strawmans and character assassination. I have no option, but to end the debate out of principal.

Whoa! talk about putting words in my mouth. Zionism is about being in favour of a Jewish state, with some people being supportive of it for their own hateful reasons. Take it you and just about everyone else on here has never heard of the Havara agreement?

Hitler was most definitely a Zionist. Some of the biggest Jew haters out there are Zionists.

Hawkins, O'Sullivan has definitely been the best match of the tournament. and it's unlikely we'll see a better match than that. If Hawkins is able to maintain that standard. He could go onto win the tournament.

There was a lot of complaints about bad cushion bounces over the last couple of days, but a more pressing issue is those middle pockets. Is it me or are they playing unusually tight during this Worlds? Even the best players seem to be missing cuts into them on a regular basis.

I just placed a bet on him and got 9/1. These are overpriced odds IMO. When you consider his form and how his side of the draw has opened up.
