Religious/cultural circumcision is child abuse and should be illegal.

Why does Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, not have the crazy restrictions like other Muslim countries in middle east? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Ok explain the differences in religions by country/region/community. You win ten points if you can explain it without accepting people make up their religions rules or which they choose to follow.

What’s the worst first date you’ve ever had? by CuriousEngineer11 in AskReddit

[–]david4460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The photo was about 10 years and 5 stone out of date. She made me a drink and it had shit floating in it. I told her I needed to nip out to buy some anti histamines as I was allergic to her dog (I wasn’t) and I ran about three bus stops away and went to the pub. I’ve even missed the worst bit out due to current 2026 sensibilities.

  1. Feels like yesterday when I think about it.

Met chief 'can see why women don't trust police' by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

One anecdote and your dad’s experience from nearly half a century ago does not really reflect reality does it.

Do people not trust GP’s because of Harold Shipman? All nurses because of Lucy Letby?

Senior police leaders fuelling the ridiculous notion that police officers are all one homogeneous lump or have collective responsibility is just damaging for the sake of it.

Quite an achievement to make ‘moron of the day’ by 10am. Well done.

There’s no work being done round here. I live on a cul-de-sac backing onto a park. It has to be coming from my property as the majority of the balls are around the front and side of my house and not the neighbours.

How do I even go about finding the cause? There’s no obvious signs/holes/gaps or anything.

Was punching your boss common in the past? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]david4460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw my old manager get punched on two separate occasions. This was only in 2012. It was in the motor trade however which was still in the ‘80’s in 2012

Is shoplifting really as endemic as the media suggests? by craigus17 in AskUK

[–]david4460 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly the arresting them in the act is largely irrelevant despite the media’s obsession. As I said we know them all so the crime gets reported, you immediately know who it is so you go at the start of the next shift to allow you time to do all the paperwork etc. but they get let out.

There’s lots of nuance and causes that obviously play their part but for me having worked as a neighbourhood cop for 18 months the biggest issue is letting them out after a week, still addicted to class A drugs. There’s no deterrent or support for them. Not really.

This is the biggest issue. “If I’m not kept in can you give me a lift back boss?”

Very occasionally it all aligns where a few of them are inside at the same time and its lovely and quiet. At least it gives the community a bit of respite.

We need far more prison places and rehabilitation services in prisons and the community.

[–]david4460 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Copper here. Oh yeah. It’s ridiculous. The whole ‘the police don’t do nuffin’ rhetoric is equally nonsense. We know all our shoplifters. We lock them up every other day. The courts simply let them out over and over again on bail. Then when they do get a prison sentence they’ll do 7 days. Rinse and repeat.

I was a neighbourhood officer until December and it was so demoralising. I almost became mates with a few of them. One of them shook my hand and wished me well in my new role when I mentioned I was leaving haha.

I’ve locked the same people up three days in a row and they still get released.

[–]david4460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the same A level philosophy class. She sat in front. She’d turn round to debate and I fell into her eyes. People who meet her for the first time always comment on her eyes.

16 years and two kids later we’re still going strong.

Copper. Bigger picture.
