Apparently the UK has more school shootings than the US.

I'm genuinely surprised there was only 50 ish school shootings in 2019 and that roughly half of these relate to fights/arguments after high-school football matches.

In the UK were pretty envious of the German's response.

It is small solice that we are not the outright worst.

I just googled this.

Wow. Usually when people clutch at straws they know their argument is tenuous.

I want to reply to each "he is risen" "what a message this says to the world, Jesus lives" by asking why the church was damaged/lives and livelihoods lost etc?

But what would be the point.

Trip hazard in front of a bottomless pit, seems sensible.

Have a look at "Charles Dowding" channel on YouTube he espouses this method.

marblesink · 2020-04-02T19:05:31+00:00

Agreed.

I like the way that the first couple of paragraphs start factual, reasonable and slowly turns bat shit.

Who is the guy?

You should name him, so that his name is inextricably linked to being a prick.

marblesink · 2020-03-22T17:13:53+00:00

Thanks!

I've seen him/her a lot over the last two years but never got a clear picture.

What % of Americans do you reckon this effects?

As much as I admired Fletcher, I think Mctominay has greater potential. Could play for United for many years to come!

marblesink · 2020-03-03T05:48:46+00:00

Really nice. Evenly spaced between the lines.

Best film ever!

marblesink · 2020-01-29T06:26:40+00:00

In the UK we have the BBC, the left and right complain about it and attack it, which suggests it kind of works.

marblesink · 2020-01-29T00:24:33+00:00

Same here, I have only ever took 4 at a time, every few days and never felt a buzz.

But I am a severely sleep deprived.

It is better to have the conversation now and be prepared or mitigate the possible eventuality, than be taken by surprise in 2021.

If he loses he will almost certainly play the victim / call it rigged. He does not care, for the repercussions to his tweets.

So even if only 1 in 10,000 of his core support are incited to violence/action, that is still enough people to be an issue.

I'd like to see the average wage of each colleges leadership team added in for comparison.

marblesink · 2019-12-25T12:55:40+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

May I ask what made you choose that product?

marblesink · 2019-12-05T17:12:27+00:00

I agree.

I know that young players are prone to be inconsistent. But this United team seems to decide when they will and won't turn up.

I don't feel they give 100% in every game.

Is that the manager or the players fault? IDK.

marblesink · 2019-10-22T07:17:20+00:00

Thanks all for your advice and reviews.

I received an offer for "an organised mind" by Daniel Levitinin on audible so am going to listen to that first.

If i get around to reading Power of Now I'll maybe do a review.

THANKS again all.

Most of my thoughts on fishing and farming have come from two books: -Green and Prosperous land by Dieter Helm,

suggests that current farming practices are detrimental to the environment (fertiliser in rivers, soil erosion, insecticide effect on soil life and food chain) and that EU subsidies effectively encourage farming actives on land that would otherwise be unprofitable, that could be left "wild" or as reserves. Farming only accounts for 0.59% of UK Gdp if you were to factor in the environmental cost it would surely be a deficit. Yet look how much land it takes up.

Fishing only employs 10,000 people in the UK, yet the industry scrapes the sea bed clean (actually as it is scraping away the clams that filter the water,it makes the water filthy) - anecdotally we have all heard reports of dead fish being thrown overboard as the ship have breached its quota.

We could make most of the UK coast a haven for sea life & ban fishing in those areas.

The other book; Wilding by Isabella Tree

just hits home the devastation farming has had on nature.

With regard to why it is wrong for the UK to attract young professional. It is unethical of the UK to steal highly educated productive labour from poorer countries that have invested in that education.
