  1. Back to the topic in hand now the media is harassing the poor blokes family. Taking random quotes and making headlines out of them. The P & J were a bunch of cunts with friends of mine when there members of the same family were killed in separate accidents on the A9 in the space of 2 weeks. Most evil part was they sent a journalist to the daughters funeral taking a space of a genuine mourner I really hate to think how bad the national media are treating his wife and parents now.
  2. I was merely pointing out the 2 extremes that can be brought from religion. There is no right or wrong answer with it. You cant prove it but at the same time you cant disprove it. Some Scientists can be so arrogant to claim they can but science only follows facts and the wonderful thing about facts is as time goes buy more information is discovered which then disproves the old and reveals the new. Atom was once believed to the the smallest thing. Used to think the world was flat. Religion as i see it is completely down to you having faith that someone or something is looking after you and everyone else The more I hear about Dawkins the more I'm distancing myself from him but I cant believe he would be the sort of cunt who would questions someone who did perhaps say 'my faith got me through the pain of losing my wife/becoming paralysed/going bankrupt etc."' If someone can find peace and happiness in believing there is some giant bloke, alien, elephant high above them and gets on with things then why should we question it? On the flip side if someone gets through these things without finding a faith then why should we question that? What is worse? A militant religious person or a militant Athiest? Both want you to think their way and get angry when you don't I liked Jim Jeffries' idea- Wake up in the morning. Read the sign that says 'try not to be a cunt' and then go about your day
  3. As I see it religion's big failing is it is all about how you interpret whatever holy book it is meant to be based on. And once you have a 'belief' you tend to get very Arsey if someone dares suggest that you have based your life on nonsense. All too often it is used as an excuse for you just not liking something. Go back a few hundred years and Christianity was the scourge in the world with 'the crusades'. Armies descending on far off lands to convert the savages to the one true god (and also nick whatever they could for their leaders). There are far right christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindi, muslims who will all carry out terrorist attacks given half the chance but because of 911 the Muslim faith is the demon of the moment and with the current media facilities it is very easy to make you think anyone who so much as looks at the Koran is going to blow themselves up. The worlds media is controlled by the west and the west is predominantly Christian, Jewish or non believers and you cant demonise your own kind as that isnt profitable (Shutting their eyes and ignoring Israel's antics for the best part of 70 years). At its best religion can be a wonderful thing that can bring happiness, hope, inspiration and comfort to people At its worse it is the destroyer of worlds
  4. Another country for Scotland to trip up against http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22657481 Seemingly Jersey are also looking to apply
  5. Get the impression my point has been missed here An attack in which a man is decapitated and his alleged attacker stands on the street and preaches his philisophy gets instant media attention A similar of not more horrific attack for people to witness happens 400miles up the road and gets no coverage whatsoever Differences between the 2 - Victims in both were very different people. One a known criminal and the other an innocent bystander - One was targeted and the other in the wrong place at the wrong time - Attackers in one legged it before the cops arrived. Attackers in the other hung back and even spoke to the public while holding their weapons before being shot by the armed cops. - Police arrested people fairly quickly in one. Cops could almost be accused of ignoring the other - One is to supposedly send a message to the government, the other was to send a message to a rival gang - One carried out in one of the worst areas of a city, the other in a fairly affluent part of another - One was filmed by people, the other if it was those people certainly weren't going to give it to the police or media Similarities between the 2 -Broad daylight attacks in public areas -Same weapons used -witnessed by innocent bystanders If you want to take the debate to 'is one life more valuable than another' then by all means try. It is a very dangerous topic What i am pointing out is crimes like this are happening in the UK on a more regular basis than the media would have you believe. However only certain ones are picked up by the national media A total nutter can go on a killing spree with a gun or knife etc at any point. Usually there is no way of predicting such an event. The media will have people terrified to go to woolwich for months now because 'thats where the nutters and terrorists' are. Young men and women carrying around machetes and killing each other for the purposes of making statements against another gang and with seemingly little or no response from the authorities? That is more scary to me
  6. A similar incident happened in the east end of Glasgow about 6 years ago. Guy was hacked to pieces in broad daylight in the middle of the street. Guy was a well known gangster and had decided to slash one of his rivals faces the night before then made the mistake of going for a walk alone when a car pulled up and within a few minutes he was gone. Local press barely touched it. National press ignored it. Not sure if the police ever got the guys who did it and it was essentially put down as 'just another gang related incident' Fairly ok area of London, victim allegedly a soldier, killers meant to be spouting some sort of religious spiel so straight away labelled a terrorist attack. Media jump all over it. Perhaps im too cynical or have a sick mind but I cant believe that there haven't been similar incidents with the London Gangs in the past. Of course the inevitable death penalty debate will no doubt kick off again
  7. News reporting that there is not enough evidence to make a judgement. Doesnt sound like they are 'satisfied' to me
  8. And Dunfermline look to be going down with a whimper
  9. Caley doing their best to throw away their European spot
  10. Farage didn't really do himself any favours on Radio Scotland this morning. His equivalent of Malcolm Tucker must be raging soundbite can be found here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-22566183 I really cant believe how pathetic David Cameron is that he is seemingly running scared of this guys party. My main issue with UKIP is they remind me so much of the what the Nazi party was in the 1920s way before they got so far as mass murder. Mixture of smaller groups combine to one party in a country in financial turmoil, putting the blame on the rest of Europe and immigrants. Disgruntled and desperate population votes for them on promises of wealth and prosperity eventually leading to an almost religious belief that they are something special whilst all the while their politicians and military are concealing the fact they are committing genocide.
  11. Contract extension to technically he has signed on 3 years Let the debate begin
  12. The phrase 'cock tease' springs to mind
  13. Wigan equalise on stroke of halftime its win or bust and if they do win aston villa fans will be shitting it. Their saving grace will be sunderland having to go to Spurs on the last day
  14. Fuck sake Brighton
  15. 25 goals in 111 appearances for a centre forward?
  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs5yxozm_84&feature=share]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs5yxozm_84&feature=share]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs5yxozm_84&feature=share Hard to top that for an example of euphoria and despair
  17. Dundee players spent the entire bonetti tenure that Cannigias debut springs to mind as possibly the most angry ive ever been at a football match Also did brown not claim he would sub the player immedietly? Will he also pull said player off and reduce his team down to 10 if hes already made 3 subs?
  18. Think that is actually an improvement Seem to recall hearing Man U and Barcelona fans were only allocated 12000 each for the last wembley final
  19. whyte and green took on the likes of hughes, mcclair, keane and cantona

    Films

    Oblivion was ok but having seen a certain low budget independant by David Bowie's son a few years back I was better placed to explain it to my 2 mates at the end
  21. Parading the trophy at Ibrox I presume. Certainly had the warning signs up at partick station saying ''football at ibrox today. Subway will be busy between these times'
  22. only bit I saw was their goalkeeper falling down liek a truck had hit him when kuyt dared to jump for a high ball infront of him. My dislike of Portuguese teams and my enjoyment when they fail steadily increases
  23. exactly how many points are they likely to lose should they go into administration? Dunfermline got 10 but im sure I read somewhere in the spl its a % of your total points from the previous season?
  24. I trust Partick are sending them both a bill http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-22351486
