You'd have thought it might have occurred to the Palestinian government to give up the hostages by now.

Re: The Politics of Protest
The traditional view of the right is that everyone should have the right to protest about any issue so long as it doesn't inconvenience anyone else. The ideal protester stands on his soapbox in Speaker's Corner where he either makes for an amusing tourist attraction or is ignored completely. This is...

Re: Eurovision One Week Countdown!
Ain't no way y'all are supporting Eurovision while it's distracting from an ongoing genocide I went to the pub last night which was a lovely distraction from genocide. Watched an episode of taskmaster, which again was a great distraction. I might even get around to putting on Swift's new album so I...

Re: Lord of the Rings vs Harry Potter
It would make for a far shorter story if the two worlds were combined
Gandalf "Keep it secret, keep it safe"
Meanwhile, in Mordor
Sauron "Accio ring"
Gandalf "Fuck"

Re: Brainbomb vs MajorMitchell
Hmmmm.... tricky... In a contest of combat, obviously it's the Major as he's hard as nails behind his well maintained soft and cuddly persona. However, if it was a game of wits... Well, the Major would clearly walk it for obvious reasons On the other hand, if it was a sporting contest... You'd have ...

Re: Death Star vs 4 Borg Cubes
A battle between them would resemble a fight between a Spanish Galleon and a a modern oil tanker whose only weapon is the ability to ram. After the first amusing hour the following weeks would get pretty damned tedious. Oil tankers can't take much punishment, so the galleon would likely win in spit...

Re: Death Star vs 4 Borg Cubes
The first death star had no ship targeting ability, and took an age to power up its planet killing weapon anyway. The Borg cube is significantly smaller and has weapons designed for fighting starships rather than a space station the size of a moon. A battle between them would resemble a fight betwee...

The Murdoch Myth
Left wing political activists and Rupert Murdoch don't have a great deal in common, but one thing that unites many of them is an unshakable belief in the power and influence of Rupert Murdoch. This is, of course, utter bollocks. The Sun, regardless of what it likes to say in its headlines, has never...

Re: Has former British PM Meg Thatcher been reincarnated in Brainbomb's offspring of feminine gender?
Piers Morgan isn't a Conservative. He's not a leftie either. I think he's best described as the lunatic wing of centrism. Well, not lunatic as such... more just deeply unpleasant. I don't know what political commentary you're listening to, but it sounds suspiciously like the brand of mindless optimi...

It would be sad if it was true, but it isn't. Most professional athletes get less than teachers, and have piss poor career progression to boot

Re: War, what is it good for?
Not the nuclear site itself, in fact. Israel, in a brilliant display of hotspur, targeted the missile defence system that protects the nuclear site. So, the dialogue of the last few weeks can be summised as follows Israel assassinate Zahedi while he thinks he's safe in the fake consulate: "We're pis...

I am firmly of the opinion that Iran should be negotiated with, that their internal protests should be given every opportunity to succeed - rather than attacks which will risk a generation who trusts that only the government can protect them from foreign threats (like North Korea's dictatorship rel...

Re: fans stunned to learn that sport they dont watch has pay inequality to sport they do watch
Why is that exactly? Is there just a very strong sense of affiliation between people and the colleges they attended as young adults? I think it's more of a regional thing than alumni. Two schools in an area develop a rivalry (or an interconference rivalry exists) and people jump on the bandwagon. I...
