  1. I've never even heard of Dailywire until today. As I explained earlier that was the first result I came across.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I understand the Hibs fans pitch invasion, but I don't understand why The Rangers fans were doing it as well.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. So why is there careers that have great imbalances between the men and women who are doing them?
  15. I have three little words for you "prove me wrong".
