    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    What I find most depressing is reading silly comments like this one. You must have a very pretty tenuous grip on reality if you can look upon this conflict as if it were some sort of game. Or maybe you're just a WUM on a fishing expedition? The sad truth, according to most impartial...

    In case anyone is interested in Rabin's assassination, and Nuthead-yahoo's role in it. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/31/assassination-yitzhak-rabin-never-knew-his-people-shot-him-in-back

    [News] Middle East conflict

    This is very obviously the main barrier to peace. Right-wing nutters, with no intention of ever letting the Palestinians achieve statehood, have been in charge in Israel ever since Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated (by a Netanyahu-supporting, right-wing Jewish nutter) in 1995. Leah Rabin...

    [Humour] Misinterpreted Text Messages

    My better half puts 3 or 4 kisses on the end of every text and sometimes a "c" creeps in by mistake. I've had variations on See you later cxxx a few times, which I've obviously tried not to take the wrong way.

    It's a bit like the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit 😁

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    Totally agree although unfortunately it appears to be the system, not the government, that needs to change radically and I think we all know how likely that is.

    [Food] Pistachio nuts

    I once opened a bag of pistachios and discovered, in the first shell, what I later found out to be a dead moth larva, or navel orangeworm. Upon inspection, several of the nuts contained these dead insect larva. A call to the supermarket helpline confirmed that dead bugs are very common and not...

    [News] Middle East conflict

    Thanks for your considered rebuttal. Have you ever wondered that the reason you have no meaningful responses to these posts may be that you have taken positions on Palestine and JC based upon your personal or religious biases, that don't stand up to any moral or intellectual scrutiny? Asking...

    [News] Middle East conflict

    You are so utterly wrong, you have to wonder if it isn't wilful. Think what you like of Corbyn, he isn't - nor has he ever been - "obsessed with Jews". His apparent 'mistake' was to criticise the Israeli government's behaviour, which, in turn, made him the target from right-wing Israelis...

    [News] Middle East conflict

    That doesn't really change the substance of my post, though. I'm not sure anyone knew exactly what the response was going to be, whether the Israeli govt is hardline right wing or otherwise. I, for one, didn't anticipate this level of retribution. Let's face it, none of us have any idea if...

    No, obviously we can all agree that an attack happened on the 7th of October. The points I would challenge are: Hamas got exactly the reaction they knew they would get The cowards then hide behind the skirts of women and the hospital beds of kids Utterly despicable cowards This is just...

    With respect, none of that is factual, though, is it? Can you provide sources and quotes to back up what you say? It's just your opinion, with some added invective. It's not a million miles from what you're accusing DDN of doing, in many respects.

    [News] Middle East conflict

    I honestly don't think anyone was trying to steer the thread in any direction, subtly or otherwise. If you don't like the direction you perceive the thread is going in then why not post something meaningful and persuasive to convince others of your viewpoint?

    Fair play, I can't really disagree with any of that.

    [News] Middle East conflict

    I completely agree with your first 3 statements. There are some things that some people are never going to agree on and, very obviously, this board can only influence the minds of the Brighton fans that frequent it. However, I do think it's a bit lazy to dismiss sources based solely on personal...
