    Obviously we'll disagree on the semantics, mate, but should consenting adults be allowed to make their own choices? Or should the government continue to do what they they think is right for them? It's something that most wouldn't want to touch, on the current playing field. Those that agree wouldn't want to risk their political careers by sticking their heads up, above the trench. Like with a lot of things in the last half a century. Time will dictate how this one plays out.

    I couldn't agree more, TC, but have we found a thread that a majority of THL members actually agree on? I think that, in itself, is a huge achievement!

    Is there anyone here opposed to assisted suicide?
  4. ChrisJones
    That should be applicable to all of them.

    The christian god is the original deadbeat dad. He knocked up a young girl and left another man to raise his kid.

    A growing number cyclists, over here, are starting to install Go Pros on either their helmets or handlebars (motorcyclists too) A story that made the local news was a woman, commuting to work on her bike, was knocked off by a car driving too close. She has no recollection of the incident but when they took the footage from her Go Pro it was so clear they were able to get the number plate, of the car, and get them for a number of charges. In an era where everyone is filming everyone else it could be the difference. I'd certainly consider them for insurance purposes alone.

    Awful story. What the f*ck causes someone to behave like that?

    Every time I get homesick I read shit like this... and it completely pulls me out of whatever slump I thought I was in. I guess shoulders are shrugged, words are said, business as usual?

    I'm sure no will argue that I'm a moron, but did it require it's own thread?
  10. ChrisJones
    I can't argue with that, mate. I completely accept that there are cultural differences. My issue is with equality, and by equality I mean that all people being treated the same in the eyes of the law. It's crime and shouldn't be treated any differently based on the perpetrators skin colour.

    But they are stealing your money, and your history, and your way of life.
  12. ChrisJones
    Okay... So what's your point?
  13. ChrisJones
    I know what you're saying with street level crime. You know it, I know it, the police know it, you're absolutely correct but it's a multi facetted problem through all levels of society. The problem is the criminal is being pointed at as the sole reason for societies ills. We're right to point, but surely you must be open to the idea that there is also a cause, and that we're not looking at the whole problem for an adequate solution. Some people are narrowing it even further, and further, looking for a simple, quick fix. You know, I know, and the police know that it's not that simple. One m

    MIK that's a good one!

    Neems, WILF. I'm taking the piss. Of course we need to access cities. Live and work in them. I'm trying to highlight the futility of saying that crime is as simple as skin colour. There is a plethora of social issues that cause crime. One of them is massive populations of human beings. To say that removing one, based on a very deeply flawed eugenics argument, will solve it is as sensible as saying that we should simply avoid all cities and large concentrations of people.

    The fall of the KKK as shown on Drunk History...
  17. ChrisJones
    Same argument, using the same statistics. Avoid London, Manchester and the West Midlands. All three have a knife and gun culture, and they're all cities. No. Avoid cities and/or large concentrations of people. Same way if you want to avoid sex crimes. Avoid 70's DJ's and pop stars.

    Not on the basis of that one video, alone. At this point it's entertainment. Really? "Clearly" and "what appears to be" in the same line is contradictory in itself. I can clearly see a moving image. It appears to be a woman in period clothing. Does that clarify it enough?
  19. ChrisJones
    Hope you're well, mate! Seeing at the conversation it generates I couldn't resist posting it. It's very entertaining regardless of it's source. Very good either way.
  20. ChrisJones
    It does, and I agree with you. Certainly entertaining footage though.

    Just been reading the Manchester Evening News and they've posted this... Footage of a 'ghostly' figure walking down a corridor. Footage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjtqtPQZjl0 What do you reckon? I can clearly see what appears to be a woman, in what appear to be period clothing, walking away from the camera. Fact or faked?
  22. ChrisJones
    That's the beauty of statistics. The common denominator is London. In your previous post you said that other cities don't have the problem. Nor do they have the population. Don't want to get stabbed don't go to London.

    I liked Chrome but I went back to Firefox for the same reasons you're experiencing, Kay.
  24. ChrisJones
    Nothing that can't be solved with a constitution and sensible policing.

    +1 on Firefox's Ad Block Look at Ghostery too!
