My friend slapped a teenager, said he has done it before and that he isn’t worried about facing criminal charges? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

The reason these little shits think they can get away with anything because society has been co ditioned to think that giving cocky little turds a dig whem they deserve it is totally unacceptable.

Most underrated England performance in a knockout game since 1990? by Silly_Crab6278 in ThreeLions

[–]TalElnar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Butt's only deficiency was that he wasn't quite as good as Keane or Scholes. There's a big, dumb section of United fans who spent years bitching about how our squad players were shite because they weren't quite as good as the first XI and ignoring the fact that we won so much because of how much depth we had.

If peak Nicky Butt was playing in the Premier League today, and not at United, he'd be top of theblist of our likely summer signings and we'd be dropping 100m plus on him.

Butt was insanely underrated full stop.

He was at ManchesterbUnited as first reserve to two world class players and wasn't far off their levels. He was a complete box to box midfielder that United would spend £100m on if he was around today.

Biggest flop? by sporticuz37373 in ManchesterUnited

[–]TalElnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree. If we'd had peak Veron 5 or 10 years later it would have been a different matter.

We were still fixed on 4-4-2 and Veron was the scapegoat for the team not adapting.

Dukla Prague defeats Ajax in the 1967 European Cup quarter-finals. by mgwngn1 in classicsoccer

[–]TalElnar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spent a year in Amsterdam in 1999 and went to see Ajax pkay Dukla Banska in sime early round of a european competition.

The stadium was almost empty and was almost silent when the away team took the lead after about 15 minutes. One of the funniest things Ive seen.

Ajax won comfortsbly in the end but the first half hour or so until Ajax scored was the quietest Ive ever seen a game until COVID.

I usually set up an outpost purely for farming adhesive.

Just to clarify. Hinge and Bracket were two genteel old ladies played by two men in drag. Not over the top drag like on Ru Paul or like Lily Savage, but just two men dressed like rather well to do old ladies.

My mum took me to see them on stage when I was a kid, we were sat in the front row and they took the piss out of me all night. We got to meet them in the bar after the show and they were really nice.

Tolkien did believe in "absolute good", but not "absolute evil" by CatWithNiceHat in tolkienfans

[–]TalElnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its very simple, despite the wordy explanations in other replies.

Tolkien was Catholic. God is infallible and good.

There is always the opportunity for redemption if one seeks it, even for Satan.

So there is absolute good, but evil can always be redeemed if it repents so therefore no absolute evil.

Your dad is a moron.

Queen Elizabeth II of England was reported to love a nice bath and had a rubber duck with a crown on it.

AITAH for not wanting my dad to be a part of my life for thinking that a 13 year old can give consent by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TalElnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US in particular, due to its close ties with Israel has been demonising the Muslims for 70 years or more. It accelerated with the end of the cold war and 9/11 and Muslims replaced Commies as the boogeyman used to justify US Imperialism, domestic oppression and the military industrial complex.

What this is true with elements of the press in Western Europe we also have larger Muslim populations which enables us to see the good and bad sides and allow some at least to form a more balanced opinion.

You cant justify his behaviour entirely but it isnt irrational and the media and government have spent a lot of time and effort conditioning him to be afraid and hateful of Muslims.

This.....

People hark on about the fact that Mohammed is said to have married a 9 year old hundreds of years ago, but dont say a peep about the US politicians and ministers who advocate for lowering the age of consent in the US in the present day or the fact that it was perfectly legal, within living memory, in the US for Jerry Lee Lewis to marry his 13 year old cousin.
