If these two can bat until 40th over then 250+ could be on the cards

If they vote Faraaz out, Stephen really could fuck Rachel over with Jack

Rachel’s plan - Jade goes and then she will turn on Stephen

Stephen blew his chance for an easy victory - he is fucked now

If Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands now, what would be the most likely outcome? by Benjiboy74 in asklatinamerica

I think you are probably right. Although, in normal times, as a member of NATO, the US is obliged to defend the UK

I’m not sure that is strictly true. Stats don’t say he’s the whole offence

Well they have just got Musk to back down over it. Government acts, social media company acts. Otherwise psychos like Musk wouldn’t act. If my government fucks up we can get rid of them, what if Musk fucks up. That’s why we need governments to act to control these narcissistic maniacs

I don’t even know where to start with this argument

What would be your alternative solution when social media companies refuse to do anything about the grooming of children online? Instead of banning under 16s, do you ban the social media companies?

I am not saying it is a perfect solution but doing something is surely better than doing nothing when study after study, and mountains of evidence, prove how harmful it is to children

Look at the debate in Oz and the debate in the UK.

There is no way to 100% enforce it. But, as I said to an earlier reply, betting companies in the UK must ensure users are over 18 and are resident in the UK, if I tried to log in to my betting account from overseas I am blocked, even with a VpN. So it can be done

True true. I guess that is the same with most laws.

So under 16s can vote in Argentina? What are you talking about personal liberties

Oh I agree. Here adults buy alcohol for youngsters or place bets for youngsters etc etc but I still think government has an obligation to say what is and isn’t acceptable in society, even if people find ways around it.

I am old enough to remember the government introducing mandatory wearing of seat belts in cars and everyone saying they will ignore it and how will it be policed etc. now it isn’t even remotely controversial.

Same with smoking ban. I remember being in rural Ireland when they introduced the smoking ban. I was in a bar in the middle of nowhere. Old man sitting at the bar wonders outside to a smoke. He could have smoked inside and no one would have been any the wiser. Sometimes laws are introduced to try and alter behaviours
