E.g. the repeal Obamacare insane idea seems to have permanently damaged a decent core of support. Seems like a man who is best left with enough rope to do damage."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Podger had a good opening round in Houston.
Rooting for him!This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

The version of events given by the 3 lads in the room all differed wildly too.

Did she at any point say STOP, NO, YOU GUYS ARE RAPING ME, YOU GUYS ARE ASSAULTING ME? I've only read the text messages. If she didn't say STOP. How the feck are those drunken dopes to know that a groupie (that's the cap she wears in my book)
was not consenting. I think its right this hangs over them though as it's stinks and displays at best a total lack of respect to the dignity a young girl barely out of school

Its quite clear the fault lies in the justice system from a guilty/ not guilty verdict.
Im sure the judge if allowed would have put a proportion blame on each person and sentence accordingly. I dont think a jury is required in these circumstances. Yes/No media aware
could never get a unamious verdict? why are people surpised.
i reckon doesnt havent to be unamious if a jury involved. so you just got get 1 ? ridiculous

I remember not so long ago, a year or so ago, being highly offended by the idea of consent classes, aimed at young men.
I remember thinking, 'nobody needs to teach people that you don't rape'.
I've gradually come to realise that it is needed, and that it's not about teaching young men not to rape, it's about teaching young men to respect women.
Emmet is totally right, what was said in the safe space of that whatssapp group is the norm. I've witnessed similar mysoginy countless times. From friends, normal people. My friends.
Where I feel Emmet is wrong is in feeling because it's the norm it's acceptable. The culture behind it is what's rotten.
It's the reason the KPMG girl is the only one of that threesome to be ruined. It's the reason people you respect think the Belfast girl is lying because she said 'lol' in a morning after text, or didn't scream DON'T RAPE ME in capital letters.
We need to fucking change lads.

It's interesting though, I've had a fair bit of negativity in here of late when expressing opinions around this. It's not comfortable, not something I like. It's why it's difficult for men to speak up around their friends, when that meme is shared, or that joke. Who wants to be the outlier ?I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

They walked as innocent men to the court and they walked out as innocent men from the court. This idea of saying they aren't innocent is rubbish, unless someone is convicted of a crime laid down by the laws of the land they are innocent people. This is a fundamental right/understanding of everyone living in a country.
For example, cheating on your partner may be morally wrong in some peoples eyes but you are still innocent of any crime. People are confusing their own strict moral compasses with the actual law.

Anyone remember John Wayne’s cameo as a Roman guard in Kings of Kings (some Jesus flick). Saying ‘This man is truly the son of god’ in the same tone as he’d say ‘ Get off your pony and drink you’re milk’. I always found it hysterical. Someone told me recently that it was a John Wayne impersonator. (could be an urban myth like Bob Holiness playing Sax on Baker Street –untrue) I dunno. It’s still hilarious. To give more credence and gravity to the moment Jesus dies on the cross, up pops the Duke with the line and delivered with authority - I said he’s the son of gawd so he’s the son of gawd. Anyway, was always me fav Good Friday movie moment.

It is 2 quid a head to enter, not sure of the prizes,we left before they were handed out and the microphone/speakers weren't great so missed it at the start. The questions are all on the tellies though so no need to hear them properly.
