Officer involved in Henry Nowak case resignshttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/henry-nowak-police-bodycam-starmer-farage-live-updates-b2987714.htmlTue, 02 Jun 2026 20:36:29 +0000EjaculationTue, 02 Jun 2026 20:29:49 +0000A couple of things. First, Billie Eilish isn't a billionaire. She's a multimillionaire worth tens of millions of dollars. If having more wealth than you need creates a moral obligation to give it away, at what point does that obligation begin? Does it only apply to people who are richer than her? Second, if we're going to judge people by how much they give back, shouldn't we apply the same standard consistently? Billie lives in Los Angeles on land that was historically inhabited by Native American tribes. Has she donated a significant portion of her own wealth to those communities? If not, why not? If wealthy people have a moral obligation to redistribute their wealth, shouldn't that standard apply to multimillionaires as well as billionaires? And I'm not sure where the idea that billionaires are all "cheapskates" comes from. Many billionaires have donated more money to charity than most people will earn in several lifetimes. You can certainly argue that they should donate more, but it's difficult to call someone a cheapskate after they've given away hundreds of millions—or even billions—of dollars. Finally, what does Trump have to do with the original point? We were discussing whether wealth itself is immoral or whether people should be allowed to keep money they've legally earned. Bringing your dislike of Trump into almost every conversation doesn't address arguments, it just changes the subject!!Tue, 02 Jun 2026 20:22:58 +0000SpermTue, 02 Jun 2026 20:05:23 +0000He is right. But, so is Don, to go along with this unnecessary sham war of choice, at the dictates of Israel. So much damage has been done to the world economy, and for what? What have they accomplished? Zero. In the annals of American wars, this one will be remembered as one of the dumbest, conducted by a very incompetent president, with the worst SEC DEF in history, by an enormous margin.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:58:53 +0000WhaleTue, 02 Jun 2026 19:58:04 +0000Well, I think $100 USD per day is more than enough to live comfortably in Thailand. So by that logic, anything you earn above an average of $100 per day should be taken by the Thai government and redistributed to people who have less. After all why should anyone be allowed to keep more than what someone else considers "enough"....right? The problem with wealth caps is that "too much" is completely subjective. To someone struggling to get by a millionaire has too much. To someone in a poorer country the average American has too much. Once you accept the principle that the government can take what you've legally earned simply because someone else thinks you have enough there's no clear place to stop. I don't care how much money someone else has. If they earned it legally and voluntarily through providing value, it's theirs. The focus should be on creating opportunities for people to succeed and not punishing success because it exceeds an arbitrary limit. We're already hearing politicians float ideas like wealth taxes, equity mandates and other forms of redistribution. History shows that when governments gain the power to decide who has "too much," that threshold tends to move lower and lower over time.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:56:04 +0000I wonder what the penalties are for this violation, and if they will be allowed to continue to operate? Lively depends on the RTP franchisees?Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:54:14 +0000How do you explain this? Dont they realize that wihout customers they dont eat? Why this entitlement here? Are they in abundance?Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:46:10 +0000You got your finger on the pulse of the matter. .. “He’s got one big, glaring soft spot … which is his relationship with the Black community,” one veteran Democratic strategist said. “He didn’t have a lot of African American fans from his time as mayor, he didn’t have a lot of Black support when he ran for president, and I haven’t seen evidence that he’s done much to fix that over the last few years. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5430756-buttigieg-black-voter-challenge/ As a added feature he turned a blind eye to federal transportation laws when he headed up that agency turning a blind eye to CDL training schools shoddy training requirements/lack of them. Pete has a lot of mud slinging/political fallout coming his way if he decides.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:44:15 +0000https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-said-to-yell-at-netanyahu-youre-fking-crazy-youd-be-in-prison-if-not-for-me/ The reference to prison is in relation to the corruption charges the Israeli Prime Minister has faced.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:34:21 +0000I am quite surprised at this.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:29:40 +0000I had a similar experience earlier this year when I needed to chase up the processing of my renewal (because my payment had not been taken in a reasonable timescale). They claimed non-receipt from VfS and suggested that it was due to ME using a third party agency! I pointed out that I was using THEIR appointed agents because the b4stards at the top would not allow us to submit direct online, like normal human beings. My payment went through the next day.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:28:43 +0000KillerTue, 02 Jun 2026 19:23:12 +0000That include declaring war of scythe wielding druids? The law doesn't exempt certain bladed weapons. But religious, cultural, or ceremonial dress, or for historical displays and parade are allowable defences. Reenactors are allowed to carry swords. So, druids can carry scythes and swords if they can demonstrate a religious purpose. Scottish Sgian Dubhs (sock knives) can also be carried for a religious purpose. Retired Gurkha soldiers can carry their Kukris at ceremonies such as Remembrance Day parades. But maybe bread and veg knives ought to be banned?Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:11:12 +0000The judge has already come out saying the police were in a difficult situation and they did there best in the circumstances.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:10:40 +0000Financials aren't a problem but I think we've started considering using an agent after reading about others having problems opening bank accounts and long waits/issues with immigration. If the agent provided funding as well it would limit our need to draw down from our pension investments which would be a bonus. We're really just looking to get our visas sorted as painlessly as possible.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:06:14 +0000know how your feeling Jenson im a cat lover but 7 years ago i lost my best mate his name was Larry. I got him from a farm. He was a little black fur ball. after 4 years he read me like a book when he wanted out he would jump out of the window to do his buisness he wouldnt use the cat litter then he would jump back in. When friends visited he wouldnt move He knew it was his home. Then 1 day i noticed pools of pee and he was off his food after a few days i took him to the vet where they found crystals in his bladder and in his kidneys and sadly there was to much damage to his bladder and like you jensen i had the decistion to watch him suffer or put him to sleep i asked the vet if i could hold him when they injected him and seconds later he was gone, one of the worst things ive had to go through. I put some pictures of him in a frame with a little note and hung it on my wall that was 7 years ago and i have never had a cat again no other Cat can replace larry.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:01:03 +0000One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the very bad seedy reputation that Thailand has. It’s really over the top now . I don’t know another country that has so much in your face prostitution, sex shows and even the beaches are over run by the lower class girl. It doesn’t bother me to the extent of never putting a foot in again, but it does a lot of tourists. After 40 years I’m vaccinated . The well off quality tourists with or without kids just don’t like what they see. So they go elsewhere. Otherwise it’s lack of good education, impossible pavements and possibly the worlds most dangerous roads that annoy me the most.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:57:50 +0000One has resigned already.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:51:10 +0000Michal Hutchie from INXS passed in a similarly tragic but mysterious way. Auto erotic asphyxiation? Whatever the case, RIP brother.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:50:51 +0000Hey leave him alone, stop picking on him! He needs some time to ask AI how to answer so he can copy and paste it.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:50:22 +0000Yes, whatever I say. I don't really care whether you care anymore or have ever cared. And I'm a Doctor, not a Mister.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:45:31 +0000No ocean going vessel can transect the canal. Your sources have told you that already, but you omitted mention when cutting and pasting. Russia tried sending some of their canal tankers out into the Black Sea. They sank. The US might be operating a naval blockade of some sort in the Gulf. but I am not aware of them interdicting truck traffic either side of Iran's land crossings. Are you suggesting they should engage in air strikes against road traffic in Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, a significant widening of a conflict.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:43:57 +0000PainTue, 02 Jun 2026 18:31:05 +0000
