  1. Maybe you're just not trying hard enough with the whuffo ladies? I'm not sure how old you are but I remember that when I was 18, I thought I was god's gift to the ladies. Thankfully, I got picked up in a bar by a woman 17 years older than me who tore my preconceptions to shreds and taught me how to do the job properly. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  2. I'm a flat earther denier. I can't believe any of them are for real. Flat Earthers are bad; Hollow Earthers are f*cking whackjobs! Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  3. Hear, hear! Millions of US and Allied troops, people's parents and grandparents died to prevent this shitstain of an ideology being propagated in Europe. By refusing to condemn these bastards in the harshest possible terms Trump just took a big steaming dump on the graves of all those buried in Arlington and other cemeteries worldwide.

    In the UK both employers and employees contribute towards the cost of healthcare by paying National Insurance Contributions (NICs). If you earn less than £ 155 pw neither the employee or the employer are required to pay. Between £ 155 pw and £ 827 pw the employee pays 12% and then pays 2% on any balance over the £ 827 pw. The employer pays 13.8% on all earnings over £ 156 pw. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  7. The other thing that Switzerland and others somehow failed to appreciate was that neutrality can only exist while two sides are fighting. Once one of them wins, you become reliant on the goodwill of the victor. If Germany had won WW2, how long do you think Switzerland's neutral status would have lasted before German tanks rolled across their border. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  8. Statement from the IRA the day after the Brighton Hotel Bombing which nearly killed Margaret Thatcher but did cause 5 fatalities including a sitting MP. "Mrs. Thatcher will now realise that Britain cannot occupy our country and torture our prisoners and shoot our people in their own streets and get away with it. Today we were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always. Give Ireland peace and there will be no more war."

  10. Absolutely, comparing the roundup and deportation of illegals is comparable to the roundup and interment of US Citizens. According to the 14th amendment, anyone within the borders of the US is entitled to the protection of due process whether their presence is "unlawful, involuntary or transitory." Zadvydas v. Davis (2001). EO9066 denied due process to US citizens of German, Italian and Japanese ancestry. Immigrants, illegal or not, are still entitled to due process under the law and constitution.

  11. Trump seems to be determined to re-enact one of America's more shameful historical acts - EO9066 http://www.sfgate.com/national/article/Executive-Order-9066-which-sent-my-family-to-a-10932741.php Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

  13. “The raid that was conducted in Yemen was an intelligence-gathering raid,” he said. “That’s what it was. It was highly successful. It achieved the purpose it was going to get, save the loss of life that we suffered and the injuries that occurred.” What makes him think that any of that information is going to be of any use now. With all the publicity surrounding this f-up, I'm sure Al Qaeda will have changed their plans and operating methods by now (I'm sure I'd have contingency plans in place in the event that data was compromised) Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  14. I agree, it was just an interesting outlook from a kid. Have you taught him how to think critically? Critical thinking isn't always intuitive or natural. It's a skill that has to be learned and refined and honed. Same thing with objectivity. Evaluating sources, comparing differing views, looking at situations without allowing your own prejudices too much influence (that's the hard one). There are sources out there that are reasonably objective and trustworthy. Many agree that NPR (US) BBC (Britain) and Al Jazeera (UAE) are at or near the top of that list. Yet when you read the same story on each of them, there's a slightly different spin. So they aren't perfect, and I don't know anyone who claims they are. Yet many of the detractors claim that their follower claim that. The problem is that there are people out there who don't want the truth to be told. So they spread plausible lies. Partly to get their version of the story out there, but largely to make it harder and harder to ascertain the actual truth. Sadly, the BBC appears to no longer be as trustworthy as it once was. What used to be the flagship of unbiased and fair reporting has become a propaganda mouthpiece for the right-wing conservative government, as evidenced by several recent incidents where the editorial team have been caught violating their own impartiality guidelines as laid down in the Royal Charter.

  15. My point isn't about the accuracy of the weapon. Skinnay seems to think we aren't already involved in an aggressive bombing campaign. I'll submit that we are. Aggressive is subjective. We were in a bombing campaign under Obama for sure, but it was specific. Trump has indicated he's going to be far less specific and more prolific as well. I don't think that's a step in the right direction. ^This^ Every time one of those bombs kills an innocent civilian, Trump is going to create a martyr for the radical islamist cause who wil become a rallying cry and recruiting poster for the terrorists. I'm not saying it didn't happen under Obama but indiscriminate bombing is only going to make it worse. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  16. The prevailing expert opinion is that people under torture will tell you exactly what you want to hear to make the torture stop. Even RTI training is not designed to make it impossible to break the subject using torture. Its aim is merely to allow the serviceman to hold out for 24-36 hours before giving information with the hope that it will give command time to realise that something has gone wrong and change plans, RV's and timings. This is also why information in the military is distributed on a need to know basis - you can't tell what you don't know and torture will only elicit fictitious information.

  18. Cue this moron who tried to burn the EU flag as a protest against the UK remaining in the EU only to fail because of EU flammable materials regulations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXKv07ghKIw Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  19. It should, especially when you couple the snooper's charter with this little piece of legislation that slipped through unnoticed. The BBFC (British Board of Film Censors) has been given powers to block websites that contravene its own taste and decency guidelines ie: If it wouldn't qualify for a R18 rating for DVD release it can be blocked. The problem is that it covers things that are legal for consenting people over the age of 16 to do to each - you just won't be able to watch it. Thin end of the wedge time IMO. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/23/censor-non-conventional-sex-acts-online-internet-pornography?CMP=twt_gu Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation
  20. An interesting turn of events - over 100,000 people have signed a petition on the UK Parliament petitions site meaning there's a very good chance that the Bill will have to be debated again so plenty of opportunities for people to contact their local MP and push for them to overturn it.

  21. That is exactly what Trump's tax plan is though. Lower taxes on the very rich and increase taxes on middle class and below. And his belligerent foreign policy is probably more likely to increase the risk of terrorism as more innocents will die, becoming a rallying cry for those recruiting for Daesh.
