If your family was druggy criminal with a dodgy ticker, you might feel different. I'd certainly take the cash if he was my kin.

Only in American could OJ be innocent and Chauvin guilty.

The degree to which he might have contributed to his death matters though. I've not been following the trial closely, but I assume the defence hasn't begun yet. I suspect they'll claim he ingested a fatal quantity of narcotics. As for not saving his life, people fake breathing issues all the...

Black people commit a disproportionately large amount of violent crime, hence they are have a high rate of death by cop. That said, you're still more likely to be killed as a white person, especially when armed. Personally, I expect Chauvin will got off at trial. The move he used was part of...

You don't need doomsday for prepping to be worthwhile, the fuel strikes nearly caused the sorts of logistical issues that can lead to food shortages.

Why blame the media when their actions are driven by audience demand? I don't buy garbage tabloid newspapers or visit their websites. Do you?

The actresses comments aside, I wouldn't have said it was overly woke. I mean the film portrayed pretty much what the source material supported and the rest of the cast and crew didn't make much woke noise. Compare that to many other examples of woke films where they have been commercial flops...

"So brave, so courageous... " He "bravely" lied to his wife for 27 years. He bravely continued the lie long after other homosexual men and women with high profile jobs came out of the closet, risking their careers. Now in 2020 when homosexuality is - in most aspects of life - a total non-issue...

That would have been my clue. Really messed up situation, no idea how one processes that. Best of luck to you.

Hollywood is absolutely debauched. If half of the insider gossip and rumours are to believed, it's a nest of the most awful people ever. Anyone you ever liked or respected is basically an utter deviant. Rock bands, actors, tv stars etc - they're all utterly a-moral. Obviously the majority of...

Robert Downie Junior had an interesting take on him.

If the government wants to give private briefings, that's fine with me. The press does not have a right to absolute access to government, if the Guardian wants to interview someone, it doesn't mean every other media outlet should be in the room. They idea this compromises democracy is utter...

It's only really a double standard if the people involved behave exactly the same. Kate and Meghan have - rightly or wrongly - behaved differently so the medias reaction to them is obviously going to be different.

Comments like these are so tedious. The monarchy is a net contributor to the state.

I doubt they deliberately missed, because although they might be able to present this domestically as a victory, they will surely realise that such an ineffective strike will make them look incompetent to everyone else. And although Iran has faced some internal pressures of lately, those...

It's the Us vs Them mentality, it doesn't matter who the victim is if they have the "wrong politics". The US and West in general is extremely polarised currently and objectivity and impartiality is not part of media discourse.

Gas isn't banned in new builds currently, oil is. Ground source pumps are slightly cheaper than natural gas and if battery storage improves significantly in the next 5-10 years will be a great alternative. Imagine having your own solar array generating power through the day to warm your house...

A far more interesting thread would surely be: Were the world trade centre bombings justified, was the UNABOMBER onto something, did Al Qaeda have the moral right to smash planes into WTC?

Even if he'd walked up to the player, looked him in the eye and said "You are a chimp" it wouldn't be proof they are racist. If there were a series of such incidents from them, then it could perhaps be indicative of the person being racist.

Justified? Yes. Necessary? Less clear. There were alternatives such as encircling the Japanese and starving them into submission, but it's impossible to say whether they would have done so quick enough to save any lives. And if they had surrendered without the shock of the Hiroshima, would...
