One thing that never seems to be mentioned is that there are simply too many people living in the UK, now! As the population continues to increase, so will the demand for electricity, gas and housing. There will be greater strain on the NHS and schools, and more congested roads and parks.

Monkeypox?!

Just a reminded that we CANNOT charge visiting supporters more than home supporters. However, the package option might be a way to circumvent those rules.

I think the Northbank are, generally, a credit to the club. There are a handful of idiots, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater...

From Aberdeen's League Cup games, I think they will be a tough team to beat. I will got 2-0 Aberdeen. 12,734.

Rangers fans have been given three stands and YET there are still some in the home end, and what's more they don't even hide it! 9:29 - 9:32, immediately after Livingston score there are groups of people who don't cheer. Also the singing afterwards, around 9:52, they appears evident. Then watch 12:10 onwards. Rangers score and people blatantly celebrate in the home end.

Lay off, Elvis, folks. He's a good guy, just a wee bit pessimistic...

Celtic champions, Dundee relegated and St. Johnstone in the relegation play off...

You think there's only one potty-mouthed, angry guy in our crowd? There are several like that in my section!

I think it's you who clearly doesn't understand. Jewish people can be identified by their DNA. There's no such thing as 'Christian DNA'. You cannot identify a coin collector, a train spotter or a car enthusiast by their DNA! If Jewishness wasn't at all linked to ethnicity, then similarly there would be no point in testing for Jewish DNA. They're a Semitic people who have for two thousand years mixed with Europeans and that has resulted in Jewish ethnic groups. The fact that you maintain there is no such thing as Jewish ethnicity, despite the law stating otherwise, as well as Wikipedia, illustrates you simply won't admit you're wrong. I have nothing more to add on this matter, as I don't see there's any point debating with you. Enjoy the game tomorrow, if you're there!

The verse states: Now whilst this is often derided, as in Gandhi's famously witty remark "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind", it also means that if I give you a black eye you don't kill me in retaliation, or even break my arm.

A pastor once explained to me this was to set limits on retribution, i.e. it should be proportionate. Mad. The condemned used to tip the executioner, who may have had a few drinks. Otherwise he might miss and get the axe stuck in your skull, and have to wiggle it out...before the second attempt.

I think Isaac Ehrlich concluded it does, but I haven't studied it for a long time.

I hope you have a rotten hangover tomorrow!

Indeed, people don't seem to appreciate the good that we did, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_Infanticide_Prevention_Act,_1870

That was brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

Well you not only believe in capital punishment, but endorse executing minors, so I had you down as a fanatical exponent. 😉

Have you not worked out how to vote in the poll, yet?

Fair enough. I believe it was a documentary I saw several years ago. I have just found an article where states she does not support the reintroduction of capital punishment, though. Maybe her feelings on the matter change, or have changed.

Interesting stuff! Of course that was more ideological than anything, and Communist, indeed all totalitarian regimes, usually control by fear and to do that they have to murder their political adversaries. I think the crucial difference is that the victims of the Khmer Rouge were not guilty of murder, but simply were seen as a threat to the government. If Myra Hindley was hanged many people would suggest she deserved it.

Aye, I'm sure many family members of the victim feel that way. However, you advocated executing the perpetrator of the Boston murderer, 'whatever the age...a swift injection please, no need to waste oxygen on these types.'

I'm very annoyed with you, @faraway saint! I just spat my drink all over my computer laughing at that. 🤣 I am not diminishing the crime, at all! It's all hypothetical in order to test your conviction that the perpetrator should be executed regardless of their age. I don't believe when confronted by a kid you'd be able to do it, and you're too proud to admit you've written some silly things tonight. I think you're going to have a sore heid in the morning, pal! Get a pint of water down you before you go to sleep tonight.

I did read them, and they demonstrate that one can have Jewish DNA. But here's the Wikipedia page on Jews: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews The UK Supreme Court recognises Jewish people as an ethnic group: https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2009-0105-judgment.pdf I thought everybody knew this, to be honest. Well, except for Whoopi Goldberg!
