    We need more of these Muslims migrating over to protect us from all the wokeness.

    They will probably ban gays also.

    If it is run by the mosque for the mosque, then it is their choice of who participates.

     

    If it is run locally and not by the mosque then the organisers can chose who they allow to participate, and the mosque is allowed no say in who runs or not.

     

    I should have read the OP more carefully.

     

    The whine comes from the Daily Wail.

    Where am I victim blaming.

    Where did I say that it was the child's fault.

    I merely responded another poster who thinks that it is acceptable for a child to ride a motorcycle on public roads at 1am. Furthermore, I suggested that a child should not be allowed out on his own at such times.

    How is that victim blaming.

     

    Do you think that it is ok for a child who is barely a teen to be doing this.

    Would you allow your underage children out on a motorcycle after midnight.

     

     

    More whataboutery.

     

    Do you think that drinking and driving is OK?

     

    Stop blaming the victim and blame the person that killed him.

    How can you be sure it wasn't the bike that was traveling above the speed limit. It's more likely. I've seen enough young kids riding their bikes like a bat out of hell. Often on the wrong side of the road. Have some on my car-cam.

    Mind you, it's very seldom that you'll find me on the road after 1am.

    Both of you are missing the point/ The 13 year old boy was KILLED by  a man who admitted drinking high content alcohol and driving on the WRONG side of the road.

     

    It doesn't matter if the boy was going faster, slower, stopped or should never gave been there at that time or not. The FACT is that he was KILLED by  a man who admitted drinking high content and driving on the WRONG side of the road.

     

    Stop making excuses and blaming the boy. BLAME the "man" that killed him.

    Presumably the camera recording a woman leaving would have also captured someone carrying a baby into the dormitory.

    Unless, of course the woman was still pregnant and was still carrying the baby and the baby was actually born in the dormitory, and then the woman walked out leaving the baby behind.

     

    What ever way you look at it, the woman NEEDS care and attention. preferably at a hospital. What she does NOT need is to be arrested and locked up.

  5. What a p*&& poor bunch of whiners there are today

     

    ALL blaming the 13 year old when he was killed by a drunk driver who admitted to drinking

     

    snip from the OP

     

     high-proof liquor after work before driving the wrong way at 1 AM.

     

    NOBODY seems to care about the Thai boy or his family except to mention (in passing) that they were guilty of "poor parenting".

     

    I know nothing about the boy or his family, not do I believe anybody poster here does, but so many posters jump to a conclusion long before any facts are known.

     

    The fact that the drunk who killed the boy had been drinking  high-proof liquor after work before driving the wrong way. His words and not mine.

     

    Is anyone blaming him?

     

    No, they blame a 13 year old boy and his parents.

    I believe Norway is now in grave danger of huge tariffs.

    So is the USA.

     

    What Trump does not seem to understand is that tariffs are a 2 way thing. If you slap a 50% tax on a country and they slap on your country, who wins?

     

    Nobody.

     

    Who loses?

     

    The consumers in both countries, plus the importers and exporters of both countries.

     

    Free trade and NO tariffs make goods cheaper and if country A imports more from country B, then should look at why they import those goods and then make those goods themselves and cheaper.

    here’s a new chance for peace. The world woke up on Thursday to the news that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a new cease-fire plan — the first step of a peace agreement negotiated by President Donald Trump and mediated by Qatar and Egypt. The deal — which includes the return of Hamas’s roughly 20 remaining hostages as well as Israel’s release of 2,000 Palestinian prisoners —

    What has that got to do with Thailand and Cambodia and Cambodia.

     

    It may be some sort of answer but not in this thread or topic.

  8. The UN should simply ignore waiting for permission and deliver the aid themselves.

     

    The problem with that is that the UN will need a bigger army and Air force than the Israeli's have, simply to fight off the Israeli's.

     

    OYOH if the IDF fights the UN troops the Israel and ANY country backing them can be expelled from the UN.

     

    If it means moving the UN HQ to say for example, The Hague, then do it as no war4 criminals will ever visit there.

     

    It it means kicking Israel and its supporters out of the UN until they can be have like civilised countries, then so be it.

    You are assuming it was a lawn mower that you push from behind.  I suspect he was using a strimmer that you swing side to side.

     

    I also think that he was using a long shaft petrol strimmer judging by the length of long grass.

     

    I suggest that it was a petrol strimmer rather than an electric one, as there is no sign of it, and if it sank in the well, he may well have been electrocuted.

     

    There is about a metre distance between the cutting head and the user.
