TinTower posted:Well, yeah. Tangerine was superior in every way and got totally snubbed. Tangerine was good but it wasn't that good, it was better than The Danish Girl but that was a massive piece of poo poo. The best film of last year was either The Look of Silence or Inside Out, the former didn't even win documentary which is absurd.

Barry Foster posted:Those are weird ways of spelling Mad Max Fury Road. I really enjoyed Mad Max, I really did but not ad much as everyone else for some reason, I mean its been pushed as like the greatest action movie of recent years but for my money its nowhere near as good as Dredd was. On the subject of Dredd looks like the Snooper's charter is going to allow the police to hack phones!!! This government will implement the Judge system wont they.

Coohoolin posted:Dredd didn't manage to piss off MRAs as much as Mad Max did and is therefore the inferior film. Wasn't that largely because the MRAs weren't as vocally active then, they've always been about but the noise they generate has shot up over the last year. I do remember there some MRAs getting pissed off about Dredd.

Rugby was mandatory in my school until like year 10 for winter games, we were a rugby school, I never played football but their was rugby in winter and cricket in summer. I wasn't interested in sport then and thus just stood on the sides in the bottom team, now I wish I would have cared then and played them more because I love rugby and cricket and would love to be able to play competently in a little Sunday side.

Rakosi posted:It's where you loving insisted I was responsible for the deaths of children, and you loving did, don't even try convolute some "collective responsibility" bullshit. You said that I am responsible for the deaths of children in mines, and I called you on it, and you still kept on defending your point, and the whole argument has spun on that axis. You tried to introduce "collective, not individual, responsibility" at a later time in a hosed up effort to backtrack, but then still later came out to defend the original point.. It wasn't an effort to backtrack it was pretty obvious collective responsibility was meant from the start, I have basic critical faculties and was thus aware of this.

So are there many issues with the current legal status of prostitution in Britain is the problem with solicitation being illegal as it gives the police a good excuse to harass prostitutes? Also if brothels are illegal how the gently caress are there 3 that immediately spring to mind that are pretty blatant about advertising themselves as such in the parts of Birmingham I tend to travel through?

Guavanaut posted:Same reason that there's whole streets that smell of weed when I travel through West Leicester. It's one of the things that the police don't really care about except when they can do a big raid to shame some hos/druggies in the local paper, so all the poorly enforced laws achieve is making life more dangerous for the workers because they can't go to the police if they get beaten and raped or robbed. But if prostitution is currently legal then prostitutes in theory could go to the police regarding things like that but for whatever reason they dont (perhaps because the police would actually try and do them for solicitation). I would assume with situations where women are being controlled by a pimp they aren't not going to the police because they are worried about being prosecuted, I assume it would be more fear of being killed. I think we sometimes need to remember that there are effectively two classes of prostitute the ones who are doing it by choice and earning good money and massively exploited women who probably never see a penny they earn. What the latter need in terms of help is not so much changes in law but effective policing that deals with the people exploiting them (then obviously not sending them straight back to Romania).

Jedit posted:A human being posted this I first encountered this managing a small shop in Belfast and it completely threw what I thought about the world off. There are some people who are so ill educated and to be brutally honest thick that they will believe the most absurd things. We hired this girl from a proper rough protestant estate who actually believed that the Irish potato famine happened because the Irish were far too picky eaters to eat anything but potatoes and starved to death ignore other foods. I relayed this to my not thick mate who was from a rough Catholic estate in Omagh and he, completely unsurprised said that at school it had been taught to him that the famine because English lords had run around taking all the alternative foods off the Irish personally, as in the lord had been taking the food in front of the starving Irish whilst laughing malevolently. He was luckily smart enough to dismiss that as nonsense. In short there's a lot of dumb people and realising what they actually believe is massively depressing.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:What are Jess Phillips' idiotic views, other than her view on sex workers and wanting to stab Corbyn? She rubs me up the wrong way and I'd like a riposte to her supporters beyond her endless complaining about people being mean on Twitter. To be fair those are the main ones and she's not even really that bad on the stabbing Corbyn front she's not one actively plotting against him she just doesn't seem to feel the need to keep criticisms to herself because she is well pretty outspoken, I guess that's why she rubs people up the wrong way, when she compared the Cologne sex attacks to Broad Street in Birmingham she was in a way correct but not putting it in a way that went across well. Her complaints aren't as much people being on twitter as they are rape threats too. Thinking about it I was being slightly unfair not pointing that she is one of the better ones amongst Labour but not near the best. There was a great story about her Dianne Abbott arguing over whether Corbyn's cabinet has enough women and Jess Phillips told her to gently caress off, when asked how Abbott responded Phillips said 'well she hosed off'.

Rowing is cool and good all sports are not posh by definition even if some posh people do them. Except of course hunting, jousting and the Eton wall game.Phoon posted:I've been keeping an eye on her since tbe election but I have no idea what her policy positions are, she seems to mainly react to things - often in unhelpfully aggressive or patronising ways which the media then present as her being tough She's big on domestic abuse, women's rights etc as she used to work at a few women's charities, she does often come across as very aggressive and for want of a better word mouthy, these aren't necessarily bad qualities if used properly I mean Tom Watson has been aggressive and mouthy to great effect but its about knowing when not to run around shouting at people. How long until she says something really aggressive at someone and the Guardian does a piece about how all her critics are just intimidated by strong women? Edit: She is a million times better than her predecessor Hemming who is a massive oval office.

Extreme0 posted:She may be presented as tough but is there anything about her that has shown her to not being so tough when under pressure or when someone touched a nerve of hers. She came across as pretty tough with the whole rape threats thing. Her views on sex work are surprising as well considering how much work she has done with sex workers, she set up Birmingham's first centre for trafficked women as far as I know. It may be the case that because she's seen the worst case treatment of sex workers she wants to just try and get rid of it and is being very misguided about how to go about it.

Cheers for that so she's not really one of the good ones then I was only trying to discern what I could from interviews, I've never met her as I moved out of Yardley when Hemming was still in. Birmingham Labour is pretty poo poo and corrupt. So how many actually good Labour MPs are there is it just Skinner, Corbyn, McDonnell and Watson.

Guavanaut posted:Hitler was an important postcard painter in some niche areas too. His people and vegetation were nothing to write home about, but his buildings were excellent, and provide a record of some important historical buildings of Bavaria. Its more about dismissing the argument for ad hominem reasons rather that not calling him a nazi also. You cant really compare Hitler's contribution to paintings to Heidegger's to philosophy either can you? I honestly dont know I've always assumed his painting was of little value even as a historical record and I cant tell if you're being sarcastic.

It's more useful having a costive that's milder than Imodium (or a decongestant that actually works) than the harms of someone obtaining a relatively trivial amount of a controlled drug. Making meth is in principle a piece of piss but its also really easy to blow yourself up if you dont know exactly what you're doing. I know a guy who did I never got any so dont know if it was decent, he was a moron so i suspect not.
