Ah so it’s switched to its Welsh name officially. I wholeheartedly back this decision, and it also means we don’t have to change any road signs.
It’s even possible to maintain crappy dad jokes, like “because it gets snowed-ON”.
How would you visually represent a valley using just a letter? Er, with V? (Yr wyddfi).
… Ok, it needs work.
That’s annoyingly slightly out of reach for such a cool place. Skins like it’s just far away enough to rule out for a relaxed day trip. These others all sound really nice actually, I’ve never heard of the Wychwood, I’m gonna research it.
Has Snowdonia changed its name? I went last year yet still missed that memo.
Yeah I remember thinking that living in the Cotswolds might be a bit stifling. Can you easily get to the forest of Dean from where you are? I’ve spent a few days exploring that and I’m sure I remember that some of that is primeval. I thought it was absolutely glorious anyway and I’m going again this year. I guess the nearest proper mountains to you are the Brecon beacons? Nothing you can just pop to though for sure. I’m in Liverpool, so it’s an hour or so for me to get to the Dee valley and Snowdonia, for which I am very lucky.
There are some lovely hills down south! The Chilterns and the Cotswolds are gorgeous. I used to live in Hertfordshire though, definitely a contender for the most uninspiring landscape in the country.
I guess the equivalent to Blackburn in the south would be somewhere like Stevenage, or Staines, maybe.
Liverpool town centre was a UNESCO heritage site. The Angel of the North, Durham cathedral, etc etc etc. Don’t pretend the south is prettier than the north. The weather’s mildly better and there’s more money to be made, I’ll give you that. But it costs hugely more, and people are a lot less friendly in my experience (and all the polling I’ve seen on the matter)
You are absolutely right
I’d just like to add an argument against the death penalty. The common argument is that we sometimes get it wrong so we can’t have it because you can’t reverse the sentence, and that is a strong enough argument. However, if one day we have a justice system that can be 100.000% certain of guilt (or society at large is persuaded of this, even if it isn’t true…) then I still don’t believe we should have the death penalty, because it’s not possible to be 100% certain that there is no chance of rehabilitation. I’m someone who has had a family member horrifically and senselessly murdered, and I still believe revenge achieves exactly nothing. It just adds bodies to the pile and increases suffering. It won’t bring back your loved ones, or, crucially, reduce your suffering one iota to see the guilty suffer or die.
The question really is: why the hell would any civilised society, whose citizens believe themselves to have mastered their animalistic nature, want the death penalty?
It’s a shame you can’t engage in good faith; you might have learned something
When you use the quote tool (>) you’re supposed to actually quote the person. What you have done here is called a “misquote”. Do you understand the concept? Because if you do you will know that it instantly discredits your argument. In this particular case it goes even further and makes your argument unintelligible. It’s impossible to respond meaningfully because it’s nonsense. Either it’s a strategy or an oversight. Either way, not a good look I’m afraid.
Anyway, your second paragraph. Are there no possible ways for a person to get arrested that you wouldn’t object to? Do you think laws are automatically ethically correct and perfectly applied in every case?
Ok so here are the problems with your argument:
Richard Medhurst loves those things
No, he doesn’t. Or at least I’ve seen no compelling evidence he does.
you defend him
you defended that too.
No, I didn’t.
every accusation is a confession
You’ve been running scared of your position this entire thread
Yes.
I’ll address your ridiculous claims though, since you asked. I don’t love terrorists. It’s a moronic proposition anyway based on the subjectivity of the word. I don’t hate Jews, and it’s very weird you brought that up since neither of us have mentioned Jews up until this point. Are you getting confused with another thread maybe? I don’t want to rape anyone, and again, this is the first mention of any type of sexual assault in our discussion so it’s very hard to be sure where you’re getting this from. I don’t want to murder anyone at all, whether they disagree with me or not. The only violent speech in this discussion has come from you.
So - it’s another bunch of accusations which have come completely unfounded and out of nowhere. My first guess would be that they are projection of your own mental state, but feel free to correct me if you like.
This is just too good to leave alone. You have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, obviously, but the really funny part is that you also have absolutely no idea what you yourself are taking about. You actually aren’t capable of writing down your point of view, which is fascinating because it could be for so many reasons.
Once again, then: state your argument so I can evaluate it. Otherwise it’s just the original “he needs to go to prison because I don’t like him” along with a big dash of, “you’re such a stupid poo face poo poo head”.
So your argument is just that this guy should go to jail because you dislike him, then.
Why is every accusation an admission with you people?
Awww, that’s sweet. You’re trying to humiliate me. It isn’t working.
Anyway, what is your argument? It very much seems like you’re saying this guy should be locked up because you find him disgusting. If there’s more to it than that, then maybe you should explain what you mean.
I don’t think you understand. If this guy gets locked up just because you think he’s a disgusting freak, then you can be locked up as soon as anyone thinks you’re a disgusting freak. Good luck with that.
No, for anything really.
Well then let’s just hope nobody ever decides you’re a disgusting freak and deserve to be locked up.
That was a really boring and poorly made video. Could you tell me what part of it makes you sure this man is a terrorist? I might have missed it.
“That Thou Art Mindful of Him” is the robot story of Asimov’s that scared me the most, because of this exact reasoning happening. I remember closing the book, staring into space and thinking ‘shit…we are all gonna die’
