Obama spent his two terms promoting identity politics. In fact, his entire meteoric career was built on identity politics. A half Kenyan prep school boy leveraging the legacy of slavery for personal gain, and yet people want to see him as a modern saint :lol: If you want to point the finger at any ...

I think I'd trust Burgess's word over your opinion Sock! Just listened to all that world cup stuff now. He comes across as a good guy, and he did back then as well. I think People forget that SB had a pretty decent world cup. Say what you like, but I've heard members of that squad (might've been Ca...

But the process is slow, and people don't like slow. . Whole post is well expressed and makes solid points, but I want to highlight this as it's something that doesn't get spoken of too often. Change does take time, we can and should do what we can to hasten it along, but you'll never get it to a p...

What a crock of shite about G Ford. He should've been starting that game at 10 not relegated to the bench, so I can understand him being a bit pissed off, particularly when it was in favour of this johnny-come-lately shoe-horned into the squad because the management had convinced themselves he was c...

You're right in the sense that looting occurs because the police are stretched but I dont believe the response of the police to peaceful protests is a factor. They'd be out getting their Nike shoes regardless. I suspect the looters, while being very selfish, do have a general sense of grievance, ho...

A lot of the American police during these riots do seem to act like jumped up thugs. The outright thuggery is bad, really bad, but what really gets me are all the petty antagonisations like shooting bean bag rounds at the windows of people just looking down into the street and filming, ordering peo...

If nothing else he's being criminally tone deaf. Comments like that are only going to stoke things up and put frontline officers further at risk, which you'd assume he'd be against as a union leader.

Fair enough. TNG is on Amazon Prime at the moment so maybe I'll rewatch the two together at some point this week.

To say I enjoyed Martyrs would be a lie but I'm glad I endured it. I agree that it goes off the rails after the hour mark when you get into the secret society type stuff, but as an exercise in holding near unbearable tension I thought it worked, unlike Funny Games which I hated throughout.
