  1. That's an odd thing to emphasize. What part of anything you might call cancel culture comes down to anything but people choosing to do something?
  2. Why have the rifles mounted in a frame and activated by machine? Someone still has to set it up and someone still has to press go on the machine. If you’re that concerned about protecting people from the experience of being an executioner you might simply have to consider that executing people is something you shouldn’t be doing at all. Otherwise, if I was on death row and had the option of lethal injection or being shot I’d go with the firing squad without a doubt. Lethal injection is fucking awful and it’s absolutely astounding that anyone thinks it’s a method that should be used.
  3. Criminals murdering other criminals isn’t justice. Not really sure why that needs to be pointed out.
  4. And you think that means your criticism can’t be questioned? How cute.
  5. Nothing serious enough was found to stop Joe Biden from becoming President either, so are you going to shut up about him or continue being a massive hypocrite?
  6. So how naive are you to say that the Republican and Democrat investigations of Trump found nothing?
  7. So why hasn’t he gone to prison?
  8. Because America doesn’t have Presidents anymore, they have temporary monarchs. Anyway, do you promise not to say anything more about Biden unless he goes to jail or will you continue to be a massive hypocrite?
  9. Are you actually insane? You’re losing your shit because you think Joe Biden might have once introduced Hunter to a foreign official. Trump gave his business to his children then invited his children into government. He invites them into international conferences in an official capacity. He gave his son in law (who is reliant on foreign investment) official responsibility for damn near every single facet of US foreign policy. None of this even needs to be investigated, it’s all out in the open. As far as investigations go, the Republican commissioned Mueller investigation ended up with Trump’s personal lawyer going to prison for doing Trump’s bidding. Democrat investigations led to Trump’s charity being shut down because of illegal behaviour that Trump and his family (again, the same ones he invited into the government) have admitted. Democrat investigations led to it being factually established that Trump and Giuliani tried to hold Ukrainian aid hostage for a personal political favour. Nothing? How naive are you?
  10. So are you going to shut the fuck up about Joe Biden until he gets convicted too? Thought not. I’m sure there’s a good reason why it’s different though.
  11. You misunderstand. Bill’s defence of Joe Biden is that you have no evidence of him being a criminal or influence peddler. Then he’s saying ‘but Trump is and you’ve never seemed to have a problem with that’.
  12. “The tech industry” is a massive, nebulous thing made up of huge numbers of completely unconnected people and companies. When you just say “the tech industry” it’s simply impossible to know who you’re actually talking about. So who is “the tech industry” in your post and when did they say it?
  13. Who’s going to be the next Republican candidate?
  14. Jesus I hope none of you ever complain about gas prices. I’ve got a petrol powered estate car big enough to camp in the back of and I get over 50
  15. Oh right, it’s a good thing that out in the real world you only ever get hit by the same size vehicle as you drive. Thanks for pointing out those very relevant parameters. Both the outrageous size and aesthetic design choices of modern pickup trucks make them far more dangerous than a car of any size. If very heavy luxury electric sedans become cool enough to take some sales away from the vast numbers of trendy trucks out there then the roads (and even driveways) will only become safer as a result. https://slate.com/business/2022/02/suvs-pickups-heavy-huge-deadly-dont-buy-em.html
  16. What evidence and what involvement? Who is the tech industry and when did they say that?
  17. But if a cleaner energy source / car / construction method / lifestyle isn’t absolutely perfect then it’s no better than the dirtiest. Surely this is obvious!
  18. What do you think it would be if we had a dislike button?
  19. Apart from the really tiny issue of being untrue, that's a great point.
  20. When was Pelosi the President?
  21. While that does represent a major climbdown from your earlier ridiculous comments, it's still ridiculous. You want Canada and the rest of Europe to start spending hundreds of billions more on defense purely to do a domestic political favour to Americans who want a lower defense budget? A ) Sounds like a great deal, I'm sure they'll get right on that. B ) Lol. The day that the US Congress passes a DOD budget cut because 'our allies have got us covered' is the day that Eisenhower rises from the grave.
  22. They didn't break the literal reading or the principle. And Joe is arguing about both the literal reading and principle of the Nato defense spending commitments, he's just doing it because he's mad about a different, completely unrelated thing. Which is strange.
  23. And (to be fair) they stuck to it.
  24. Not unbiased, but a lot closer to centre and real news rather than propaganda. So pretty good overall.
