And comparing making videos of decapitations of civilians to writing "from manchester with love" on a bomb destined to be dropped on ISIS (those same people who performed those decapitations)? hahahaha wtf the twisted moral relativism by some on here is sad... Then please elaborate what purpose it serves and exactly how morally different is it than videos of decapitations by ISIS? Let me reiterate my reasoning: - Both the publishing of this image and the decapitation videos are propaganda stunts. - Both are meant to 'show strength' through killing people. - Both the decapitations and that bomb kill innocent people with the full knowledge of the perpetrator. - Both revel in the violence and barbarism of killing those innocent people. - Both glorify terrorism. Sure, one is more graphic than the other but that is hardly the main moral issue anyone should have with either. Why do you see them so different other than "their terrorism is bad but ours is good"?

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 @Fulham Broadway I saw some clips of May being made into a joke on TV No wonder her advisers won't let her debate Corbyn. Can you imagine how much he'd destroy her. Would probably end her her political career on the spot. Reckon Labour's got a chance after last night?

Sure, one is more graphic than the other but that is hardly the main moral issue anyone should have with either. Why do you see them so different other than "their terrorism is bad but ours is good"? ISIS wants to keep expanding and make their Islamic caliphate global, subverting other cultures, peoples and have their twisted disgusting ideology be the ruling one everywhere. They use explicit, disgusting tactics such as decapitations, killing the babies of Christian mothers and then making the mother eat the brain of her own dead child by force, throwing gays of rooftops, hanging people over fires to roast them and other such tactics to instill fear and torture people because they're inbred barbarians... They also train and brainwash people to commit terror attacks on innocent people in other countries in the name of their ideology... Now as to the UK and other Western nations leading the fight against them, they wish to eradicate this horrible group by dropping bombs on them because of all the horrible things I mentioned that they do (previous paragraph). Now keeping in mind the context established above, some British soldiers decided to write a little message on bombs destined for these savages.... and now you are comparing the little message on the bomb (which again, is in response to the slew of horrible atrocities ISIS commits on the land they control and abroad, like in Manchester) to things like feeding mothers the brains of their dead children, roasting people over an open fire, decapitations etc.... I don't know how fucked up your moral compass must be or how much mental gymnastics you must do to see these things as comparable but to me this idea is laughable Viva La Hazard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway...My claim was not about the British army being the same as ISIS nor their goals. My claim was about those specific acts. You did NOT contrast between their moral implications nor address the points I raised about their similarities. Also, and this is pretty key, the bombs that the British army drop on the region, just like that particular one they decided to write on for propaganda, almost always kill innocent civilians. There were 100+ civilian causalities from bombings by the so called international coalition in two separate strikes in Syria and one in Iraq....and that's just this past week! So those bombs are dropped with the full knowledge that they, not only are ineffective and counter-productive in fighting terrorism as they mostly create more terrorism than they destroy, but that they inevitably cause high civilian deaths. So that makes those bombs mindless violence that knowingly kills innocents; and that image and message glorifies that violence just like ISIS videos shamelessly glorify their violence.

What does that say about May? I'm not particularly a fan of May, but if the alternative is Corbyn with his radical ties and radical past, it's a no brainer... I'm not from the UK but basing myself on the brexit vote outcome, I can see the people there are tired of politicians paying lip services to their needs all whilst ceding more and more power over to the EU. People want to have control of their borders, their economy and their laws... Corbyn is not the man for that at all, the fact that he is the face of the labour party along with his pal Abbott, best known for supplying an unending stream of car crash interviews (this is one of dozens) where it's hard to understand how she even got so far in life with an IQ of 68, should say all you need to know about that party... IMO, the person the UK voters want is someone who will follow though on all the promises of brexit (leave EU completely, border autonomy and revisited immigration figures, being free to have your own trade deals, etc) since there is no such person on the scene, unfortunately the next thing that is even vaguely in the same vein is May... lucio and Viva La Hazard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 A mate was telling me there was an article in The Times in which a Tory MP can't remember his name said the reason that Theresa May has this head down just get on with the job is that she's an empty vessel and has fuck all to say or any good ideas. No surprise from me she's just a female John Major grey, robotic and extremely dull. At least Major had the good grace to support Chelsea.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I don't think Corbyn will win the election but I think he'll do considerably better than expected, and by expected I mean what the media say he will do. I don't think the Tories will get the absolute majority they were looking for. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 DONALD Trump is to pull out of the Paris climate accords after visiting Paris and judging the weather to be perfectly lovely. The president visited the French capital on his European tour and has declared all reports of issues with its climate to be fake news. He continued: “The weather in Paris is just beautiful, believe me. They have the best weather. Fantastic weather. “You got people in Lesotho signing this thing, you got Micronesia, Albanisia, you got Guyana and trust me, they’ve never been there. They couldn’t afford to. “Right now great American cities – Houston, Omaha, really great cities – are being shipped thousands of tonnes of French rain a year, and that’s a bad deal. It’s a deal Obama made. “We’re out. Paris can handle its own weather. We have some phenomenal weathermen and women on TV in the US. Get some of them.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 @Fulham Broadway I love how all the media practically everywhere are now trying to downplay the UK elections now that the polls have become so close. It's really interesting to see how the media everywhere operates so similarly and in sync, Even the media here have suddenly almost completely stopped reporting on the election all together! Also, am I going crazy or is the Guardian basically coming out as pro May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the Daily Mail winding them up, right in the belly of the beast -I don't think they understand sarcasm - unbelievable shite on there.
