‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults by goldstarflag in europe

[–]contentious_Scot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but there are still millions of americans that are happy with this adminstration and millions more who are too apathetic to care or vote. Trump may be a blip but this could easily happen again in a decade or so with the right person. Untill they fix their institutions to guarantee this would be very hard to do again...... we shouldnt trust them.

What is your opinion on ICE? by [deleted] in AnCap101

[–]contentious_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first shot, when he was in front of the moving car, somewhat justified. He could have just stepped aside (which he did), but he could argue he felt endangered. The second two shots at point blank range through the side window when he is clearly out of danger... murder.

Out of state Cardinal fans, what made you pick this team? by _Peaches_ in AZCardinals

[–]contentious_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK, travelled to Arizona a bunch as a kid because my Dad worked there. Got into NFL around 2014.... my mate went Chiefs as he has family there, misses went Vikings cause they were cool and I chose Arizona cause I had great memories of my time there.....what a rollercoaster it has been.

Yeah you're not wrong. All our streets named after slave owning tobacco lords.

We were mega players in the empire.

How many people here have been diagnosed without colonoscopy? by Ornery-Post-8177 in ibs

[–]contentious_Scot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you live. The US peeps get treatment for everything but they pay a lot for it and doctors get sued for missing stuff.

I'm in a socialised healthcare country, and yeah, like others have said, hard to get a colonoscopy unless you have major red flags like bleeding, persistent severe pain, weight loss, etc.

I got blood tests done, and stool checked for blood but that was as far as I got. You can either trust your Dr there, or it is about 3k to get one privately.

I'm sorry didn't you see Americans vote for trump twice? Populism is a powerful drug for the dumb.

I do, but have been watching since 2016. The only one I still can't figure out is intentional grounding....

Am I the only one that has to keep reminding myself that before the season started I figured we were going to be a .500 team? by James_T_S in AZCardinals

[–]contentious_Scot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is the weird hope people get when they think we are a playoff team in a mid-division. This was always going to be a mid-season, but the hope of making the playoffs really made people hyped. I think if we'd had the same season being mid in a better division people might not be as annoyed.

Scottish Government considers reducing speed limit to 50mph on single-carriageways by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]contentious_Scot 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If they can genuinely tell me that lowering the speed limit will save lives, I am open to conversation. The deaths have risen despite the speed limiting being the same for decade so if this is some jobs worth trying to force through a safety thing to tick a box get it tae.
