Just aswell you are retired Grant, Hugo must be taking up a fair bit of your time here šŸ˜‚

    RichM itā€™s best to bail here or itā€™ll descend into me calling him a boring fucking cunt - something not even he could disagree with

      <Jesus fucking wept, just ignore the boring fucking cunt like you said you would>

      Groomers to the left of you, weeds to the right, stuck in retirement with Grant.

      I feel a visit to the Cotswolds is needed, stat.

        hugopal Itā€™s debatable if any invasion of the Falklands even took place by the UK

            zackster if you actually own the place already youā€™re not invading it. At that point in time it was the UK who owned it and Argentina who had invaded.

                hugopal lol of course! The exact same logic you used for Israel and the settlements!

                    Well yeah I mean - as Iā€™ve pointed out before the region was owned by the Ottoman Empire before the British won it off them when they already were at war.
                    Thereā€™s also a difference between invading a country before they have done anything to you (Germany on Poland, Arab League on Israel, Russia on Ukraine), and invading another country as a response to them having invaded you first.

                      Along_the_Wire is it fair too simply assume that I donā€™t agree with murder, torture and kidnapping of innocent civilians

                      Itā€™s amazing that anyone will argue against this position.

                      All of you taking a firm side are either emotionally and irrationally tied to that position or ignorant to the history of this conflict. Regardless of who is ā€œwrongā€ on whatever timescale youā€™ve cherry-picked, killing civilians and propagating conflict isnā€™t a solution. Indiscriminate killing on both sides only ensures that future generations are still entrenched in an endless war. Itā€™s a carbon copy of 20th century American foreign policy and weā€™ve seen what that does to extremism and terroism.

                      Maybe itā€™s time for a different strategy, but then weā€™d have to have the discussion about the influence of magical thinking on society and we all know thatā€™s not happening anytime soon.

                      This shit makes me want to cheer for climate change.
