  1. If he had ordered his people not to resist there would have been a bloodless takeover. We live in a world where people cannot agree, but 'might is right'. What is the point of being a dead fighter on the side that lost the war? He is telling other people to fight while he hides - next he will be in Poland or Berlin safe with an EU pension begging for WW3 so he can be president again.

  2. I think the reality is somewhere in-between. GWs are wild creatures with established instinctive feeding behaviour. There must be millions of instances when a hungry GW has been in close proximity to a human and has not attacked. If GWs were interested in eating humans it would be too easy and we wouldn't be going anywhere near them. That said, GWs (and other shark species) do very occasionally attack even consume humans. There will be reasons for this unusual behaviour, but we have very little information to lead us to solid answers. There is an instinct to scavenge that will be a factor and a predatory attack instinct that could have a faulty trigger. But really, it is a matter of 'the exception proving the rule'.

  3.  @allan2765  Here's the way I see it (and I admit It's all guess work). A GW is a big predatory fish (I do have a fair bit of experience getting smaller predatory fish to bite on things). I have observed that, a predatory fish has two methods of feeding: it scavenges around looking for dead/injured meat and it attacks certain moving prey. When a fish attacks, its brain is triggered and it uses all energy to injure/kill/eat the prey. This is an instinctive behaviour that the fish has little thinking control over. This is exampled by the many artificial lures made of metal that look nothing like fish. There is footage of GWs attacking a basic seal shape lure which doesn't much resemble any seal. I think it probably goes something like this: GWs have feeding areas where they head for when they are hungry: there's no humans in these areas - so no problems. When a GW is around where humans are swimming, GW is probably digesting a seal carcass and does not get triggered to attack. Occasionally, GW is ready to feed and encounters human in distance. The human gives off various stimuli which are sufficiently 'seal like' to trigger the GW's brain to go into 'attack mode'. Bang! in seconds the person is hit - the GW now either recognises human is not usual prey and backs off - or continues in instinctive feeding frenzy. The problem is having made the mistake the GW's orange sized brain is able to learn that, humans are a potential prey animal. I think the idea that GWs see humans as food, cannot be so. If this was the case humans would never be in the water where GWs are around - it would be the equivalent of hundreds of seals floating with blindfolds on. The GWs would soon be on them.

  4.  @Geebee67  All sharks do not attack humans - most shark species never attack humans - if each Great White attacked just one person a year - that would be around five attacks every day. As for the part about the bear - I can't understand what you're saying.

  6. If you watch the speeches the guy from the EU with a missing middle tooth was begging the UK rejoin.

  8.  @oreseur513  Different people have different ideas about what way of life they want. Many in Iraq wanted a way of life and got bombed into the ground instead. In the end, we all have to live how those more powerful want us to live.

  11.  Dr Rockso  So - it's all fun to you.

  12.  Dr Rockso  There is an argument of public interest, but this would have been well reported without video. The video is blurred by mainstream outlets which show they judge it not suitable for broadcast. Like I say, I know the man's father who because of his profession is well-known and respected in the town where I live. I also have a son and daughter living in Gold Coast Aus, and sharks are a 'topic' so, perhaps this is a bit 'close-to-home' for me. I just think the vulnerability of the victim's situation is too easy to watch with your mates from the safety of a pub.

  13.  @lyndoncmp5751  True, but it's not reasonable to say they see humans as prey - if that was the case there would be no swimming where sharks are about. We will probably never be sure why some sharks attack humans. The sensible answer is ban cage diving and attempt to shoot any shark that has attacked a person. Personally, I like swimming in the sea - but never where those things like to swim.

  14. I think Brexit was a global humiliation for the EU. This 'national' rejoin march of the old and odd demonstrates the UK people will never vote to rejoin. You sound like a bunny boiler.

  17. @Snook I'm sure many people are upset, but I think many are happy too. It's not something I know very much about.

  18.  @clincpb8903  Did you hear the speech - or just invent an opinion?

  19.  @danieleyre8913  Well, my free advice is don't go putting a bet on 'that' happening, (from someone who won a five figure sum on Brexit referendum).

  20.  @Geebee67  It does seem unfair on the shark that probably doesn't understand the difference between a person and a seal. But, It's just not realistic to ban people from the sea and people/politicians don't want this. Therefore, the shark loses on the grounds, a shark that attacks a human could be likely to do it again, and a shark is a fish with zero rights.

  21.  @oreseur513  I understand what they are doing, however there are people on both sides doing the same thing. There has been civil war in Ukraine for years. The West has been supporting one side against Russia with money and arms. Now Russia has stepped in and The West has retreated to the next border and started making threats from there. The reason NATO is not launching air strikes on Russian tanks is the reason civilians with bottles of petrol will not win in Ukraine. There were many in Iraq that did not want to be invaded - worldwide protest and all... In the end we all have to succumb to a super power.

  24.  Dr Rockso  OK! Not you or your family, but some people might not want it if it was their loved one.

  25.  Dr Rockso  Actually. I know the father, but I'm saying there are people who would not want it publicised. Are there any limits to what you want shown?

  26.  Dr Rockso  Yes that's it - I was expressing an opinion - I wasn't attempting to ban the internet...

  27.  @luciecameron2457  If you don't think the same as me - why are typing up comments and sending them to me?
