  1. @For Fecks Sake Have you (or anyone else) watched Masters of the Air yet?
  2. Presume it was a segment about knife crime or theft? 😝 haha jk Show sounds good anyway, Guy Fawkes was a top bloke.
  3. Good on you 'boobs, you are a good man. And so right, with what you describe here. Nowt wrong with dying naturally (with pain relief if necessary) but - and I don't say this as a slight on anyone - some people are cowards and other people find it embarrassing or distasteful to have to deal with people who are ill or suffering.
  4. Yes. There is value and meaning in every aspect of life. What you describe sounds horrible, but of course such is extremely rare. Good laws and values are not based on extremes. Organ donation can be done in an ethical way, but you highlight another risk in that an elderly or ill person might become to be seen as a bundle of spare parts, instead of a person.
  5. Thats true, and what I was getting at before: but its only the patients who die.
  6. I do have a heart, which if why I value life. Its a basic value, not any kind of politics. There is little dignity in sloping off to some clinic to take an injection: much better to face whatever life throws at us, like men. As I said on here before: even if bed ridden and ill, life is still worth living: to enjoy a nice sunset, or a flash of thigh, or the smell of cooking bacon, or a win over the huns, or the smile of an old friend, or whatever it is. Just as how in life, its often a choice and a fight to be happy, so too it can be a choice and a fight to see the value in life, whatever our circumstances. If we lose that, its truly a defeat for humanity.
  7. What, are the people who were bumped off singing its praises? 😋 The australians are fucking crazy, soft in the head with all that sun. Their easy going, laid back imagine is a con, in truth they make the nazis seem chilled with all their rules and regulations. I have 3 kids and I had to change their shitty nappies and so, by fuck, they will change mine!
  8. 😆 Indeed, but it is wrong.
  9. With modern pain relief and medication no-one suffers the way its portrayed when justifying this. The reason I am pro-NHS was hearing a story (on some documentary) about the pre-NHS days: kids playing out in a back court could hear screaming from one of the flats - someone was dying of cancer and couldnt afford any pain relief. Thats what you call suffering. And you know, suffering (of any kind) is part of life and so to seek to avoid it is ultimately to be less human. There can be value and meaning in suffering, but of course the notion is meaningless and even bizarre to a society which views human life as being disposable. This kind of legislation is not motivated by mercy or love, but by callousness and cowardice. This isnt a dig at you, but I firmly believe many people support it because they dont want to have to care for / witness a loved one who might have a prolonged or difficult illness - they want to save themselves the hassle and the sadness, its fuck all to do with the ill person. We modern generations dont know what suffering is compared to our grandparents time, and yet are so warped that killing is portrayed as something to be proud of. As for me, whether I drop dead tomorrow, or live to 100, I will value and fight for every last second on this earth, come what may.
  10. Its a big mistake, as is clearly shown from places which have done it already, where supposed protections/guidance quickly evaporate (just as with abortion). This only the latest horror story from canada: https://gript.ie/canadian-court-rules-against-father-says-27-year-old-daughters-assisted-suicide-can-take-place/ The young woman in the case isn't terminally ill, or even ill at all, she is autistic. In another case in canada, a woman with mobility issues went to the doctor to ask about getting some mobility aids and instead it was suggested that she might like to kill herself. In parts of europe, children can be euthanised now. Ultimately, if someone wants to top themselves, there is nothing stopping them. We dont need legislation to undermine everyone's life. Undoubtedly what will happen, is that elderly people will be pressured into this, portrayed as selfish if they want to carry on. "Come on, you have had your life - a good innings - but you are using up too much resources now. What's the point in going on? Your on 30 tablets a day and cant walk to the end of the road" etc. or simply Doctors will start making the decision for them. And the last people you would ever want to touch something like this are the mediocrities in holyrood who continually fail to produce practical legislation (offensive behaviour at football, named person bill) and who often fail to understand the effects of their own legislation (the surprise VAT bill after creating Police Scotland, the GRR bill which had to be blocked because it affected rUK). A sign of how far our sick, valueless society has fallen that this is even considered. Hopefully the UK govt will block it, although if labour get in they might bring it in too.
  11. It seems clear to me that, given each of our last 3 full time managers got punted after only 30-odd games (less than a seasons worth), we are not a very attractive option for candidates of any calibre. Instant success is only likely if you can try to buy it - and we cant. Warnock walking early will also have likely sent bad vibes down the managers grapevine.
  12. Thanks, should have got that myself! Not my first choice, but he would be decent. Cannae see it though.
  13. Who is the NL mentioned, excuse my ignorance? (innocence?)
  14. A guy on twitter is saying Shamima Begum has been told she can come back to the UK if she takes the Aberdeen job. Better than nothing like.
