  1. Thanks I will check that out. A TV series about the Battle of Britain, or the sinking of the Bismarck would be first rate TV. (But the yanks would never make it as its not about themselves and it would be ruined by modern woke shit.)
  2. Is that what that stood for? I never knew that!
  3. A lot of comments are focusing on personal experience / desires / fears and those of our direct family. This isn't a criticism, but I think that's the wrong way to look at it. While our own experience is informative, we shouldn't centre topics like this around ourselves, but rather consider the whole of society - in particular those who will be made most vulnerable by such a law. Like (for example) the doddering auld wives in a care home who, while they aren't out running marathons or anything, are happy and content with coronation street and a weekly visit from their grandkids. They might need a lot of medicine and help to wash themselves, but their heart overflows to see a picture of their grandchild in school uniform, or to be presented with a crayon scrawl from nursery. And while they will not last to see these kids as adults, the children will forever remember their smile and embrace and the feel of their papery thin skin. These are the people we should base our opinions on, not ourselves. Few responses acknowledge the reality of what will happen either, with safeguards soon being ditched - as we all know and can see elsewhere. The nihilistic, pro-death views which abound in secular society are based on dishonesty with the extremes portrayed as everyday cases. They also have a fundamental emptiness at their heart - once you claim that any one part of life is meaningless or "not worth it", that can easily spread to thinking that of all life. Not content with murdering the unborn, we are now gunning for the sick and that will soon spread to the elderly, the disabled and the mentally ill. The Nazis would be proud! I mean, why not just blow the world up and save the individual hassle of having to kill ourselves and each other?
  4. Because in one case the aim is to relieve someone's pain, in the second case the aim is to kill them. Intention is central to the morality of any act.
  5. I know! Was Mobby not The_GLA originally? And whatever happened to Cow / Rumpus, often accused of being the same person?
  6. Only 3ft tall however! 😋😉
  7. Small scar on left hand ring finger - knife wound Small scar on left hand palm - bite wound Small scar in central forehead - minor operation (cyst removal) Large scar right elbow - operation (reconstructing smashed elbow with metal inserts) Medium scar, top right back of head - legacy of significant head wound The last two were caused when I was attacked on a night bus and, during the struggle, was pushed out of the moving bus doors which had opened - landed on my right hand side (I very briefly landed on my feet but soon decked it as I was likely travelling at >30mph). Was really lucky not to get more significant / permanent injuries. The other 3 have no dramatic stories behind them.
  8. You never see them together.......
  9. @For Fecks Sake Have you (or anyone else) watched Masters of the Air yet?
  10. Presume it was a segment about knife crime or theft? 😝 haha jk Show sounds good anyway, Guy Fawkes was a top bloke.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Thats true, and what I was getting at before: but its only the patients who die.
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
