  1. I'd imagine thst would depend upon where it was voiced.
  2. Thinking it is one thing, voicing it or doing it is a little bit different.
  3. No one threatened anyone. I do think that it's acceptable to hit people with opposing views. For example, If someone thought it was a good idea to shag my wife, I'd be pretty keen to violenty oppose that.
  4. No, It's not. I hadn't considered that people may be offended by swear words. To me, they seemed like the most appropriate words. That's a viable apology.
  5. I'd say it was a proportionate, reasonable and considered response, but I see where you're coming from.
  6. Apologies for any offence caused. I spoke my mind.
  7. I was canny sweary, I remembered the ethos that someon's gran should be able to read this forum, so curtailed my language. The sentiment remains however.
  8. Aye, I have edited it but I still believe it to be the case. Ban me if needs be. I find racists to be abhorrent. People talk of a forum as being like a bar, incendiary views like his would be challenged in real life too.
  9. Matelot's a vile wee nazi. We've discussed this before. @skyhuck I think it's important to give people enought rope to hang themselves. I think we all know that some people's view just aren't compapible with blah blah blah. He's a racist. May the universe smite him and those who promote his ideals.
  10. Mate, if you travel anywhere with your views, you will be rightly denounced as a knacker. A racist one at that. You're lucky we're so tolerant in the UK.
  11. Bring back duels: https://fee.org/articles/this-is-why-duels-existed/
  12. I like it. The navigation works. There's no constant duplications of massive photos in threads. The search function is spot on. I think the Like etc icons are a bit naff, I like the concept though. It took a while to gel with me at first, but that's because it had looked the same for ages. Good work.
  13. Nice one, cheers Sean.
  14. When they talk about 100Km from 'base'. Are they referring to where the vehicles are insured? My yard's miles away from my house, yet vehicles are registered from home, where my business is also registered.
  15. I think Stunt fell is described fine in the first post of this thread:
  16. What did the fire in Grenfell Tower have to do with immigration? I heard it was a fridge that started it (A white fridge).
  17. Get an accountant.
  18. Tories.
  19. I reckon it should be standard practice. I'm looking for things to write a dissertation on and planting may be it.
  20. He's clearly on the wind up.
  21. I would have taken the time to assess the condition of the roots, their orientation, and likelyhood of successful establishment. Root pruning if necessary, on a young tree that size shouldn't have too much of a detrimental effect. Even on new woodland planting, if you take the time to plant things properly, you end up with a failure rate of 5% as opposed to nearer 15% if you just stamp them into the ground.
  22. I think that failure to ensure the viability of the root system of a newly planted tree, is one of the most destructive practices in the world of arboriculture. It's good that nurseries have woken up to this, as spending just that little bit longer when planting a tree will cut down on preventable remedial work further down the line.
  23. Peter Sutcliffe's personal view was that God told him it was alright to kill prostitutes.
  24. Mate, I've been over there and ran a marathon through Bethlehem raising money for 'Medical Aid for Palestinians'. The sanctions put in place by the Israelies (In violation of UN Law) are nothing short of subhuman.
