I mean yeah I thought it was a bit over the top. So did all the pundits on the broadcast I was watching and the interviewer certainly didn't think that was what was coming.

Quote from: Tatler Jack on September 12, 2026, 07:39:38 PMRagged enough finish from Lowry - his chipping and especially his putting saved him over the closing holes - 9 single putts on back 9.

Few things to work out for him - he has had a lot of demons this year with closing out leads. Hopefully he gets it done tomorrow would be some roar.

McIlroy so far off the pace currently. Just seems completely disinterested.

Not quite what Arteta made of it! Wonder what mind games he's going for there with that interview.

Staggering the amount of "Do my own research" nuts around.

Do your own research. Draw your own conclusions. That's fine. Go ahead and wire your own hot tub while you're at it.

American Idiot is 22 years old. Imagine that album was written in anger at Bush. No one had awareness of how dumb things were going to get.

Quote from: Puckoon on September 11, 2026, 03:22:07 PMThe level of intended terror however that was unleashed on the western world in 9/11, the london attacks etc... was unparalleled. Terror, not just destruction. It was designed for maximum chaos, pain, confusion - sheer terror.

Unparalleled only in the West, or globally?

If the latter, I think that's incredibly naive.

I mean I did say the western world.

I'm not up here absolving western powers from atrocities. It is however 9/11 and no prior or post context changes the reality of that day.

Maybe I am exceptionally naive but we all remember where we were when it happened. Watching the second plane fly into the world trade center as I handed a now dead regular in the bar his lunch was an unparalleled experience that I still remember clearly. It wasn't just death and destruction, it was also designed to maximize the terror of the civilian population. That's my own personal experience and lasting feeling of the event.

You don't accept that since the advent of time - as a species, we have demonstrated obscene cruelty to one another?

I am not in anyway saying Austin Powers is the equivalent of Netanyahu. Things are certainly escalating at a rapid clip.

Merely quoting the words of the Paycock. A statement I find to the bedrock of conflict and cruelty since time began.

I get what you were probing at. You are much smarter than me, I couldn't deal in that absolute.

Israel aside, I do not think that was ever the MO of the US or UK in their responses and the execution of the "war on terror".

 

By whom?

I think some people feel that pain and suffering in some far away place in Africa is less to that when it was brought upon places like Madrid/Paris/London/New York and while that is a small small fraction of the carnage that goes on everywhere else, it was still horrific and terror

As said already and I've said it many times, there is zero hierarchy of victims and suffering, excusing/blaming is daft

Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands millions mourn.

Mad country. Lunatics really have taken over the asylum

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on September 10, 2026, 01:51:18 PMSo who will get the $5,000 from Trump? If he wins, will he pays out to all registered Republicans?

So Machiavellian it would be unbelievable if it was anyone else.

This nonsense would swing young voters, fence voters, previously uninterested voters. Grotesque in the extreme

Not looking great at the moment. Would be nice if a spark lit him up for a season or even a half, but doesn't look likely currently. Arsenal looked very solid yesterday, if a little open at times.

Ah come on now. You know a few wankers, what's the basis for that comment?
