http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/aug/21/michael-medved/talk-show-host-police-kill-more-whites-blacks/ Over the span of more than a decade, 2,151 whites died by being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks. "More whites are killed by the police than blacks primarily because whites outnumber blacks in the general population by more than five to one," Forst said. The country is about 63 percent white and 12 percent black. Half as many black people killed but are a less than a fifth of the population. Maybe you don't understand the significance of that or maybe your prejudices extend beyond misogyny.6 points

I'd imagine the cop is agitated cause he has just killed someone. f**k knows why the lassie isn't getting worked up. She seems more interested in becoming Facebook famous. I'd be full scale tears and snotters and wouldn't be thinking it's time for a selfie.2 points

In actual football related news, Hearts have signed Victor Noring a Swedish internationalist, to compete with Jack Hamilton for the No 1 jersey. Rumours that Robbie Neilson is trolling the haters by having Jack or Victor in goal are unfounded.2 points

Don't let them get to you, Doyle. I've got a tattoo along my arm commemorating Dumbarton's nil-nil draw with Alloa in 2010. It reads "18/09/10, Time For A Pie". Keep your chin up, hen.2 points

.."All proceeds from sales will be invested directly into the club." directly into the company, surely. Clubs have nothing to do with money according to nacho and forever_blue. Meaning they can't go into administration, fail to get a CVA, be liquidated and die. tricky keeping up at times......2 points

As of next week moving onto what they are calling 9/80 shift, a 9 day fortnight. Week one hours are 9, 9, 9, 9, 8 so work 44hours. Week two hours are 9, 9, 9, 9 so work 36hours and get the Friday off. Every 2nd Friday is now a holiday, so basically for doing an extra hour Monday to Thursday I have had 26 days holiday added to my leave entitlement. Add to that the fact that I get paid fortnightly, on the Friday I work as it has worked for me (US company paying the standard US way), Every Friday from now on is a Pay Day or a Holiday. Fucking loving Fridays from now on2 points

Well, I reckon that Doris would get 15+ goals if he was fit for the season as I said, so he would play 40 games. Works out at 0.375 goals a game. To take away the missed games etc. I'm happy to go with a simple bet that Doris will average over 0.375 goals a game over the course of the season if that suits? It's good to see someone put their money where their mouth is, pretty embarrassing stuff from yourself here. I'm sure 1320Lichtie would be happy to go with a simple bet that Doris will have a better goals to games average over the season than any Cowden striker. Any further excuses to not take that bet? Regarding Josh Thomson - I think everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves here.... He's looked good in three barely competitive friendly matches which were played mainly to get players fit/ match sharpness. Competitive football is an entirely different proposition.2 points

People with "Caution, Baby on Board" or "Little Princess on Board" stickers in their car windows. In a lot of cases these people usually drive like arseholes and are more of a danger to their little darlings than other drivers will ever be. Also certain drivers who insist on driving big cars and 4 x 4's but who obviously struggle to manoeuvre and park their vehicles.2 points

My favourite win last season was a 2 pound bet on win and btts for Aberdeen when they beat Celtic 2-1 at pittodrie and Everton when they beat Chelsea and Naismith scored a hat trick. I screen shat it at the time but must have the pic.1 point

Fose is under contract with Reading until 2017, a quick Google would show, so either the Courier is wrong on that or it'll be a loan deal. Regardless, after reading about him for a minute or two I'm pretty certain he'll win us the league.1 point

Yeah, that was my thought too. The worrying thing is where does it go from here? However much anyone may try to justify this action I can see it on exacerbating an already incendiary situation. Can we anticipate a small scale race war with other groups emulating the actions of these shooters? That's a hell of a scary prospect for the people of the U.S. - particularly black people who will no doubt get the worst of it. It's a sad and frightening thought that after almost two terms of the first black U.S. President that the incidence of police shooting of black men is as high as it is.1 point

Being offended is entirely subjective. You've come on here asking if it is offensive and had to google if it is a word you should be offended by. Pulling people up for using a word that you vaguely remember as being a word that might make you feel uncomfortable for some reason is tinky behaviour.1 point

But you're not even sure why you think it's a slur! If I was in a meeting and someone used a definitive racial or xenophobic term, then obviously, but tinker? Think you're being a bit hysterical here tbh.1 point

If you're cashing out a £5 bet to get £1.10 back when it could still very easily go your way, then I don't think gambling is for you.1 point

He's an absolute genius, and utterly unbelievable live, both musically and entertainment-wise. If Beethoven and Andrew Lloyd Webber were into metal and had a son, he'd be Devin Townsend. He's just a guy who absolutely loves what he does, and his live shows are just a massive party where everyone has an amazing time and his chat on the mic is hilarious. He's also one of the best shredders there is, but almost never does it because he thinks it's boring as f**k...which is a view I am completely on board with. Your life will be infinitely better with Hevy Devy in it1 point

I've had a 970 for about a year or so and it handles every single thing I throw at it without any hitches. Unless you are planning on getting a 4k monitor or buying a VR headset I'm sure it would be more than adequate.1 point

Eric Drysdlae eh? Or just 'Eric' as everyone on here and fantalk seems on first name terms. Yeah why not get him a place a place on the league board as well. Maybe then the league will be as successful as we have been since he became involved in 1998.1 point

You might want to look at the new RX 480 and the NVIDIA 1060 thats due out shortly. Both will be better buys than the R9 or 970 Personally, Im probably going to hold out for the 1060, partly because its supposedly faster than the RX and partly because I already have an NVIDIA card ETA - I've caved and bought a 480. At the beginning of the week everywhere had stock, now quite a few of the versions are going out of stock and not expected back in until the end of the month. Given the 1060 might not be readily available until August, if then, I couldnt wait1 point
