Re: Republicans: continued

I wonder how much of this is due to the left-over hatred evinced by many on the right on the whole Covid/mask wearing thing, and how much is down to the publicly advanced position of stopping protestors from hiding their identities...

Re: What Are You Watching Now?

Yeah, it was a long one. It was one of the few movies I've watched in the past few years (not really a movie person) but I did enjoy it.

Re: The Thread of Democrats

The temptation to corrupt practices is ever present for politicians of all stripes. The very nature of their path to being elected, with its wheeling and dealing, means that they are often pre-adapted to the slippery slope of corruption...

Re: Palestine v Israel.

Saying that Israel should not exist is not criticising Israel. Most of the people (outside radical Muslims etc.) who are currently criticising the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza and the West Bank defend the right of Israel to exist as a state, but they want Palestinians to have the same ...
