Making the news today....

[Mick Dempsey]

The ‘what’s in the news today?’ Thread exists on most forums.

I sort of copied it from an American forum, it just gave us all a place to argue/discuss all things topical.

A bit like a ‘Todays Job’ or ‘Show us you Dogs’ it will always run and run.

We need an anchorman to get it back on track.

White men! White women! The swastika is calling you. The sacred and ancient symbol of your race, since the beginning of time. The Jew is using The Black as muscle against you. And you are left there helpless. Well, what are you going to do about it, Whitey? Just sit there? Of course not! You are going to join with us. The members of the Scottish Socialist White Peoples' Party. An organization of decent, law abiding white folk. Just like you!
 

Not so much of the Scottish Socialist stuff 😡

Well, I can't speak for the others of course,but I think it's a good idea to provide a little pushback against some of the misguided, offensive, hateful, or racist things you sometimes come out with. Otherwise we run the risk of you taking over the conversation and turning the place into an echo chamber, and anyone reading this site might think that it's okay to hold some of the ridiculous views that you do.

 

Not everything, mind. Occasionally you manage to post something fairly useful, even insightful.

Don't ask me to find an example though.

Don’t worry I won’t ask for an example, that’s a proper exhausting process with you guys.

Anyway on the lighter note that Mick has injected.
Peds you could take the new role of Guardian of Arbtalk, mind you you will have to be impartial going forward.

If you don’t like or agree with what Johnsond posts don’t keep “poking the snake with a stick”? I actually agree with a lot he says and some I don’t. Not everything requires a response. I sure there’s a few on here that aren’t on this forum to read threads that develop into bickering and chest puffing?

Joking, joking….

Joking aside throwing the racist/nazi one into the mix is easiest  of cards to play.

Can Hezbollah overwhelm the Iron Dome?

The Israelis seem like bullies to me out there - stealing land from Palestinians in the West Bank etc

I know the rapist murdering Hamas aren't exactly angels either, but it just seems unfair the US has pumped up Israel with so much firepower they can ride roughshod over their Arab neighbours.

I can see the other side that the Jews have been targeted for centuries culminating in the holocaust, and this has caused them to want to be stronger than any possible adversary, hence the nukes and all manner of high tech ordnance.

Apparently they've done 35000 odd in Gaza, flick a few switches and much of Lebanon would be gone

 

UNITED NATIONS, June 21 (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday he is profoundly concerned by escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah and that U.N. peacekeepers are working to calm the situation and prevent miscalculation.

"One rash move - one miscalculation - could trigger a catastrophe that goes far beyond the border, and frankly, beyond imagination," he told reporters. "Let's be clear: The people of the region and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza."

Look at the mess you've made, Mick. Twenty five thousand posts. 

 

Like so many other posts in this thread that (the quoted figure) is utter bollox.

Is this a five minute argument or the full half-hour?
