  1. Yeah, I was thinking something similar. Crime through the roof in Scotland and THIS is what the fucking police waste their time on. Then they wonder why they're not trusted..

  2. This is the mindset that leads to people getting arrested for using a dog to make a Jewish joke. And for the record, I don't know a single Indian person who doesn't work at a convenience store. Oh the humanity.

  3. Brilliant. Particularly like the way the closing music takes itself so seriously!

  4. You didn't play a single clip or read a single comment that was not accurate so far as I could see. His "policy" regarding Korea was insane and he's just fortunate that remarkably, Kim Jong Un managed to be the grown up in the room. He played nuclear brinkmanship and this time the world won. Crediting him with achieving peace is like attributing America with achieving Native American harmony by wiping them out.

  5. The generality tells you nothing of relevance. Sexual crimes in Scotland are are up 5% on the previous year, violent crimes are up 7%. Perhaps if the Scottish police were out on the streets instead of arresting innocent people for non-crimes, those statistics would be falling along with other categories.

  6. Speaking as someone who never had a best friend at school, I can also see the opposite side of things. For most kids, best friends come and go several times a year, and each time someone is excluded as a result. Personally, I wouldn't have banned kids from having best friends, but I would have encouraged them to be as inclusive to other people as possible, and I would invite them to consider how it would feel if you were close friends with someone and that person declares someone else their best friend. As someone this happened to, it was extremely hurtful, and since then, I simply have close friends.

  7. Yeah it is - a dumb indy game that could have been made 25 years ago (I mean, side scrolling shooters puhlease!) made with an off the shelf dev kit. It's amusement value was less than the duration of this video,

  8. They think it makes them more potent and edgy. It's utterly pathetic.

  9. The problem is, for all of your 30 million+ views, you're utterly utterly powerless, whilst these women, who are being reported by a decreasing size of traditional media, still have massive influence. So rather than being so smug about the way that you're all barking into the wind and having a collective circle jerk, what are you ACTUALLY going to do about the fact that your rights appear to be evaporating by the day. There's a misguided joke about modern feminism accomplishing nothing, but while all the channels like yours are huge on snark and self congratulation, what are YOU all actually accomplishing? What single government minister, court or policy maker has revised an opinion because of you?

  10. I can certainly see the appeal of thinking that it was Trump's tough talk that brought this about. Maybe it even did, but can you honestly say for one single second that Trump considered his actions strategically? Don't get me wrong, if his actions bring about peace, even accidentally, I'll take it, but as he's shown time and again, he doesn't act militarily for the greater good. His repeated questions about dropping nukes, targetting civilians with drones, and stealing oil from the people America supposedly helps has shown that. So if I very grudgingly acknowledge the fractional possibility that the only thing that brought one madman with a nuclear arsenal to the negotiating table, was a big madman with a nuclear arsenal, don't expect me to stand and cheer his inept global policy.

  11. So discriminating against 50% of your potential customer base, and assuming that the other 50% shares your silly political ideology ISN'T good for business? Quelle surprise!

  12. "there was a reason he picked me. He believed I'd give him room to express his views and say his full piece, and that I'd upload it in full without selective editing or spin." Then what did he need you for at all Karen? He could have simply uploaded a video on his own channel and scripted the entire thing. He gained legitimacy by talking to you, and the very fact that he believed that you would permit him to say whatever he wanted suggests to me that he saw you as not merely impartial - but as an ally. "It's more difficult to argue effectively against someone's genuine position when you don't fully understand it." Rrrrright Karen. So if someone mows you down on a cycle path in New York, I'm sure understanding their position is high on your list of priorities? Or is it just possible that some positions and some actions speak so loudly for themselves that you already know enough to form some powerful and likely pretty accurate opinions?

  13. Right, cause a punch is the solution to bullying. So you're an undersized 15 year old wimpy nerd, being bullied by the kind of hairy gorilla that the teachers are scared of, and a punch is the solution?

  15. I hate everything about these two people. Both earning 4 times the national average and the woman is STILL whining. Even when it's revealed that SHE is the one who is better off, she manages to play the victim. She reminds me of that black millionaire director's son who was campaigning, whining about HIS lack of privilege. Even though I believe that racial privilege exists, some people are just really shitty spokespeople for the movement. If you're wealthy, you exemplify the fact that some people can rise beyond their disadvantages and you should STFU.

  16. Well that's disturbing. I hope the British police are typing "Gypsy sends" I don't like the thought of that last guy walking around on the streets.

  17. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yes, this situation was grossly unfair but if you are really foolish enopugfh to believe that any man would go through all the stigma and trauma of transitioning just to win a medal in a division he formerly had no right to compete in, you're out of your mind.

  18. Buck, just FYI, men don't cry simply because an actor declines a movie role.

  19. VG doesn't deserve being taken that seriously. And Patrick apparently doesn';t care enough about the suffering of animals to offer anything more than "Because I can" as an argument. It would be a dreadful debate.

  24. Utterly, utterly weaksauce response that amounted basically to an appeal to consequence and an appeal to history. Humans have stereoscopic vision therefore we should continue to live carnivorously". Well humans have vestigial tails, does that mean we should swing through the trees? Humans have an appendix, so we should do whatever that necessitated? Africans have dark skin, so they should never live anywhere but Africa? And the whole "animals live better lives because we raise them to slaughter them argument", again, utterly vacuous. If I give you 50 years of bliss on the understanding that I get to slaughter and eat you afterwards, how many people consider that reasonable? This entire video is simply a weak ass attempt at post hoc justification. In my opinion, the only honest response to eating animals is "I like meat and the death of animals to satisfy that desire is less important than my desire for meat, or my willpower not to eat it." It's lame, but at least it's honest and it's my position.

  25. You make it sound as though there are only two choices: live in terror and hunger, or be farm food. That's not the only options. The third option is "Never have existed at all." I would argue that that is morally the far superior choice. And sincere vegans ARE morally superior. The fact that non vegans are desperate to justify their choices shows a lack of conviction. I'm weak and I know it. I own that weakness without trying to make half assed excuses. Nobody is forcing anyone to engage with vegans.
    1
  26. The fact that animals fight to REMAIN alive merely goes to show how strongly the instinct is genetically imprinted. It says nothing about the validity of that as a choice, when your sole purpose is to be someone else's food. Moreover, the fact that even children will beg for death if you subject them to suffering for long enough goes to show how easy it is to negate that desire, and why QUALITY of life is also a factor. Morals may be subjective, but they CAN be quantified. There are universal values that the majority of rational unindoctrinated humans adhere to. I absolutely agree with Sam Harris's take on this, that morality can be considered as the course of action that leads to the greatest flourishing. I do 100% agree with you that all morality is subjective, but within any society there is very broad agreement on the massive majority of things that are moral and immoral, with fuzziness in a lot of control freakish, religious control areas. Of course, even the morals that you claim are objective, are not. Go to an LA gang in the 80s or a Mexican gang, and murdering and torturing innocent people is PERFECTLY acceptable. The fact that you can train yourself to lack any empathy for other lives is kind of the point because we DO have a fundamental respect for life built in, which is why foremen and police and soldiers can be permanently mentally harmed simply by some of the things they see. " but god damn that was one of the most backward, upside down, idiotic arguments I have ever heard" ROFL. I can see how that sounds! I didn't articulate myself well. Let me try again. When you have a discussion with say a child sex predator, they will slip and slide every possible way, make every possible lame ass attempt to justify their actions. That's exactly how I see the arguments from meat eaters like this guy. I wouldn't respect a pedophile more who just said "Well I'm sexually attracted to kids - live with it" but it would be honest. Same here. "And the same could be said in reverse... nobody is forcing vegans to engage with non-vegans... it's called a dialog dude." I realise that but you said "vegans will not accept it." Well if I said to you that all people called Bob were 7 feet tall, you would never accept it either. Now there's no point me complaining that people won't concede my argument when my argument is nonsensical. You persuade people with better ideas not louder shouting. It seems to me that 99% of meat eaters arguments are mere post hoc justifications. We could at least have a reasonable back and forth on the quality of their life in the wild, or the ethics of killing animals, or whether we can simply consider them expendable because they are less intelligent, but none of those tracks leads anywhere good because you can easily turn them back on humans. Why don't we cannibalise stupid people, or old people or children or people with a poor quality of life? But when people start talking about incisors and stereo vision they immediately forfeit the argument. You seem like a reasonable guy, and I like to think that if I made some great point on this issue, you would go away and perhaps re-evaluate your position in light of that point, as I would if you do so. But if I felt that you were not discussing in good faith, I'd probably end the conversation quickly. That's the point I was making.

  27. It amazes me that people want to normalise the constant abuse of people; strangers on the internet. If people were speaking to your 16 year old daughters, grandmothers or little sisters like that regardless of who was saying it, I can't believe you'd all be making arguments about freedom of speech and the gender balance of who was doing the insulting. Why should any person merely by virtue of being visible have to face this?

  28. There's something obscene about throwing all that food away, and my local Tescos just discounts the fuck out of food when it gets near the end of the day. But dumpster diving if you're not poor is just so damned middle class.

  29. Surely paying bonuses simply by gender is illegal sexual discrimination? I'd like Vodaphone to demonstrate precisely WHY their female employee's superannuation is less than that of their men. Is it perhaps, because the women take more time off to deal with family? And of course, some women would then argue that that's not their fault. And they would also argue that people born with only one leg should be assisted to win the Olympics against people with two legs...

  30. Why did the boys at an all boys school have to use boys to create a video that juxtaposed your expectations of these boys being male but whining highlighting women's issues? Ummm, let me think... This is why you you never show kindness to a third wave feminist. Still, we should be grateful, that 's 30 more guys who have realise that modern feminists are ungrateful bitches for whom one can NEVER move far enough to accomodate them. Spotty faces, school prefects, criminally unfashionable shorts, and failed attempts at virtue signalling - I see the next generation of basement dwelling MRAs.

  34. Start by defining gender then ask again. Any reasonable way you define it, he's right. If you are talking about genitalia there are people with both or with ambiguous genitalia. If you are talking genetics, there are xt xx xxy and more. And if you are talking how people present, it's an infinite spectrum not two extremes.

  36. How is it her job to fight for the women she doesn't know? She's talking about abuse and the way it affects her. If I punch you in the face, should you rush out and hold a benefit for people who get murdered in Mexico rather than complaining about the assault you just received?

  39. Major societal attitudes are formed by age 6. We teach kids every other type of respectful behaviour from the youngest age without referring to such guidance as "ideological". The only issue here is the potental SJW narrative of this training, not that it is occuring at all. If violence in relationships could be minimised by teaching kids of both sexes from the youngest age to respect each other, I would have ZERO problem with that. My only concern is that this is going to be one-sided and will play to an "all men are pigs" narrative.

  40. Exactly what I'd be afraid of. I have no problem teaching mutual respect, but not perpetuating of debunked victim narratives.

  41. Oh the humanity. That poor woman. That poor poor delusional, dishonest, oppression Olympian medalist of a woman. When people dare to address her points in public and point out the errors and outright lies she tells, it's so traumatic for her.

  42. Hmmm, making laws for the majority is like 2 wolves a sheep sitting down and deciding what to eat for dinner. There are times when it's way off the mark. I get your point and I certainly agree with the general principle, especially in this case, but I don't think you can point to it as a truism. By that reasoning if the majority thinks slavery or child brides are okay, you're out of luck if you're a slave or a child.

  43. Ha ha - the man who trolled Steve Shives because the man has misguided compassion has now trolled himself. Sweet irony. Guess when you get have hot button issues they're easy to push huh Patrick? How embarrassing.

  44. Steve didn't say that assaulting people he hates is justified. He simply said he doesn't care when it happens. And if you are accusing HIM of virtue signalling he is the exact opposite side of the same coin where you attack people viciously then through your crocodile tears tack on "Don't go be mean to them" knowing with absolute certainty that you have indirectly sicced the hounds onto them. I realise that you seem to be making a genuine effort not to be a totally unreasonable douchebag, but you have to realise that from a neutral viewpoint, sometimes you're just as bad as those you attack.

  47. Unfortunately their deaths are byproduct of human existence. It's not possible for us to live in large numbers without killing something. I would rather they didn't die either, and I'm not sure that their lower intelligence makes it any better.

  48. In ancient Rome, many rich men castrated their slaves (eliminating their testosterone) because the slaves retained their muscle mass but supposedly lost their sex drives, making them safe around their female household members. Except it was nonsense. If castrated after puberty, the slaves retained the ability and desire to have sex with none of the incriminating evidence of pregnancy. And yes, they retained their muscle mass. Cases like this, of grown men competing as women is complete bollocks and is yet another sign of the ultra-lib world gone mad. Nothing against trans people, but it seems to me that sacrificing their ability to compete against women is the sacrifice that they must pay for their desire to be viewed as women in general. It's a matter of prioritiies.

  49. Yeah, I saw that case. It was disgraceful.
