    So, a year ago today the terrorist group Hamas started a quite unimaginable series of events. 

    Stepping up their activities by attacking, slaughtering and kidnapping mainly innocent Israeli civilians. 

    Aye, they kicked it all off but the Israelis have taken the opportunity to bomb anybody and everybody they see as a threat and, as usual, mostly innocent civilians are suffering. 

    Where will this all end? 

    All those nutty right wing American evangelicals will be thinking that this is the start of Armageddon and that's why they want to supply Israel with more and more weapons.

     

    Yes, I know that Armageddon was a place, not an event, but those nutters apparently don't.

    I rather think you are missing the point here, which is simply that under no circumstances is it acceptable for anyone ......least of all someone who is supposed to be upholding the law....... to kick another human being in the head, absolutely no excuse, no justification whatsoever.

    "under no circumstances ... no excuse, no justification" is obviously and demonstrably wrong and I'm sure if you think about it, you can come up with a few reasons yourself.  They're obviously not relevant in this case (and they might be extreme examples) but to say that there aren't ever any excuses or justifications is just plain wrong.

    They can't tax you for dying. 

    That's why I said "you're" dying and "they" get hit with inheritance tax.

     

    Besides that, I wouldn't put it past the government to try and tax you for dying - it's the one thing they can be sure of you doing so they could tax you early.  Mibbe I should stop giving them ideas.

    This sounds like you are comparing white rioters throwing bricks and setting police cars on fire (which has been happening since the Mods v Rockers ) with Islamic extremism which results in the Manchester arena bombing , Westminster bridge stabbings etc. Should all protesters be banned and locked up or only white ones? It’s just that there was a large riot in Leeds a couple of weeks ago and the police didn’t even bother attending which resulted in two police cars and a bus being destroyed. 

    Self driving police cars?  What's the point?

    You've missed the point.

    1No mention of the elderly? 

    Joe Public, after working/saving for years is FORCED to pay for care, having their savings taken before being FORCED to sell their property. 

    Oh, aye any fool knows prisons cost a fortune to run. Do prisoners deserve many of the luxurious, not IMO. 

    Why should prisoners not pay for their keep? 

    Solution:  When you get to that stage, murder someone.

    I've been asking that question for years.

    VAR is a shambles and should be got rid of, brings nothing to the game, instead of clearing up controversy it muddies the water even further . It breaks up the flow of the game and leaves fans and players alike confused and bewildered.

    Yes , I know it’s humans that make the ultimate decisions but for me I’d rather discuss the performance of a useless, incompetent or biased ref in the pub after the game rather than said ref, how many more arseholes in a wee office somewhere, multiple camera angles , stupid offside lines & replays and even more baffling decisions .

    Saturdays Motherwell game was a beauty ….. to disallow ‘Wells goal after the ball shaves off a jumping players arm which he Knew nothing about then refuse the same team a Penalty after Shinnie blatantly hits the ball with his elbow is beyond belief !  What f**king good did the cameras and slo-mos do there 

    keep yer pitchside monitor, yer  ref doing his ‘it’s a TV programme ‘Charades crap & a couple of guys hiding in a wee office . Costs money we don’t have & delays the game unnecessarily.

    VAR has ruined the game with the offside by a baw hair decisions at times your sitting wondering if it worth celebrating a goal incase you look like a bam when its disallowed ( especially when you know Collums involved in our games) .Between VAR and the handball laws it’s just feckin up the game , go back to refs and linesmen feckin it up without electronic help.

    This

    It might be sh!te decisions by the on-field @rseholes but at least it's cheaper sh!te without paying for the hidden sh!ts.

    So you're all still on the fence then?

    Where do Celtic play ? Peebles ?

    "A" pattern still continues, just not the same one.  You just drop the cup bit and now it's "Win and keep a clean sheet against teams not from Glasgow."  If we win against Livi but don't keep a clean sheet then the pattern becomes "Win against teams not from Glasgow.  If we draw it becomes "Only lose against teams from Glasgow."  Etc.

     

    The whole point was to show Elvis' pattern stuff up for the nonsense it is.  You can find "a pattern" in almost any set of results.
