  1. But then how will people ever know how fucking amazingly smart we all are? 😭
  2. Inventor Josh Wardle(!) sold for low 7 figures apparently. Fair play I guess
  3. Wordle bought by New York Times… will remain free “for now” https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2022/1/31/22911274/wordle-new-york-times-free-word-game-acquisition
  4. I agree with pretty much all of this. Not sure how I feel about the National Service bit which isn’t to say I disagree, more that I haven’t really thought about it much. I’m not saying this is the reason but it seems a bit ironic that as the world becomes more digital we seem to become more binary. 0 or 1. Make your mind up which are you!!!? I take your point about the recent prevalence of the terms “left” and “right”. Possibly it’s because the terms Tory and Labour don’t mean much outside of the UK and so perhaps those terms got substituted so we could “translate” as we talked more online to people in America, Canada, Aus/NZ etc In defence of the modern “right”, they seem at least to me, more willing to allow people with different views to express them. In very simple terms I think the “leftist” philosophy comes from a good place and from the heart. I think the “right” just don’t think it works. The left’s answer to everything is more government but I personally want as little of it as possible.
  5. Disagreeing with people is part of life. How we go about it depends on what kind of people we are. I don’t mind a bit of a debate about controversial subjects, they used to have debating societies where you would have to argue a point you didn’t necessarily even believe in. it’s all a privilege of living in a free society as far as I’m concerned. some people seem to take it personally but we’re all adults and I’m sure we’ve all been through far worse
  6. I agree with your point about the bus slogan and always thought it was cheap. unfortunately cheap works and as can be seen from most of the responses to my posts (you and rayvin aside) people like quick cheap messages. Trump used this to great effect and I don’t think it helps any of us but.... the Mexican border is porous and drugs come through daily. Sexual assaults are rife and I don’t see any sense in trying to not deal with it. Trump just tried to do what so many other previous presidents promised they would do. Again I’m not endorsing what Trump said, I’m simply saying that he didn’t call all Mexicans rapists.
  7. Oh and here’s the first google hit I get when I type Trump Mexicans rapists https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/04/06/politics/trump-mexico-rapists/index.html
  8. Tbf I worry for them now “please come and talk to your kids” “I can’t there’s a man on the internet who’s making me sad”
  9. I fear for your poor wives if he gets re-elected...
  10. Lol, you really do take this personally don’t you. The world is literally full of people who don’t think the same way as you do and *DEEP BREATH* that’s ok..... :console:
  11. “the terrorists were Muslims” Becomes ”all Muslims are terrorists” 🤔
  12. I mean I can see how this works, I said I preferred to wait for a certain vaccine, that got turned (by a minority) into “you’re an anti vaxxer “ Leaving the EU became the more emotive (by some) “leaving Europe” it’s tempting to do but not very helpful
  13. I agree. And after that quote, you would be happy to report that as “Trump says all Mexicans are rapists” would you?
  14. So you’re trying to use the fact that he clearly never said what you claim he said to “prove me wrong”. Ok
  15. I know it’s force of habit but it’s just Ukraine not The Ukraine. I guess it’s cause it sounds so close the The UK... 😁
  16. Are we talking about Clinton or Trump here?
  17. Well for a start he’s only referring to the people crossing the border illegally, not all Mexicans, which is what the media tried to spin it as. He just didn’t say it. Now I’m not condoning the way he made his point at all, just highlighting that the media hyped up stories and people who already disliked Trump took it as gospel. The southern border is clearly a problem and as I said before Trump’s policy was no different to any other previous president’s. As soon as Trump was in office that policy somehow became racist.
  18. Still waiting on that “Mexicans are all rapists” evidence 🤔
  19. This just came to my attention 😍
  20. There are a lot of legal immigrants who feel really aggrieved by the idea of people “jumping the queue”. I get that plenty of people are decent and just desperate but equally there are lots of problems that come over that border, drugs, child trafficking etc. A wall probably is needed IMO and it doesn’t strike me as terribly responsible to take an extreme open border position just to counter Trump which Biden, Harris, AOC etc do I think there are more than a few people who would like to see Hillary in jail. I’m not exactly sure what for although there are some pretty unpleasant rumours about the Haiti money not to mention the supposed Clinton “body count” The storming of the Capitol is a really weird episode. I don’t really know what to make of it. Trump tweeted not to act irresponsibly having seemingly hinted that he wanted people to do exactly that. I can’t remember the exact sequence of events but he was then banned from social media. The security footage from inside shows some very mild behaviour from the invaders. It wasn’t good obviously but compared to the weeks of rioting and looting, this time seemingly encouraged by the democrats, it was pretty tame. A lot more people died during those riots too, including David Dorn who died trying to protect a business from being looted. The media barely mentioned him. I do think there was something suspicious about the way numbers came in on election night. Any investigations being carried out are rather like the ones into Boris Johnson’s lockdown transgressions, ie likely carried out by people with a certain outcome in mind. My overall position in all of this is that the corruption in US politics is immeasurable. The “stimulus” bills are vast and impossible to read, with such flagrant abuse. The media is polarised to a grotesque level. Big pharma has a dreadful track record and Trump came to power with his “own” money and appealed to people who thought he could do something about it. Having his own direct form of communication through Twitter completely bypassed all the filters which clearly are probably needed with someone like Trump. but overall I don’t think his aims were evil in any way i believe he loves America and there is probably not much wrong with that in the scheme of things. In other words he was probably the wrong answer to the right question
  21. It was a long time ago now but as I remember it was the seemingly sudden imposition of the new narrative (sorry for the wanky terms) on the community. Some of the people protesting were hell yeah I love the KKK and some were just normal people who felt that their culture was being violated. So to bring it back to a more relevant comparison, like Dad’s Army types defending a Churchill statue alongside National Front types.
  22. I’m not trolling at all. You are welcome to find the clip of him saying all Mexicans are rapists. Should be easy enough right? Lol fair
