  1. I reckon different folk will have different reasons, or have 4 reasons of differing magnitude or 3 or 2. What we can say for certain though is it isn't one reason for one entity. All the reasons above will appear at some point. Viewing multitudes as a single indistinguishable entity is probably one of the main reasons for the bother over there, so let's not get cognitively lazy.,
  2. politics are everywhere, why do you think Israel are in the Uefa competition in the first place.
  3. No idea about them specifically, a cross section of society is bothered about this political/humanitarian issue.
  4. Yeah of course more than other Christian sect's. Some Christian sect's are less than a couple of hundred years old, Catholicism is 1400 years older than the next most adhered to sect. Before means of transportation most sects had no direct contact either. I have no idea what card he is talking to, i thought (mistakenly) we were just discussing the known problems between the proponents of two creation myths. He could just quote the things that make him think that.
  5. Israel formed Hamas as a religious counter to the secular groups formed around the PLO. The purpose of this was to weaken the PLO and end the first intifada. Allowed Hamas to form is perhaps a better way to put it.
  6. Catholics and Jews have been at odds for literally over a millennia. What specifically would you like to know?
  7. To be fair that gotten harder each year since the 60's.
  8. Also isn't Phelps actually slower than a lot of other swimmers, for example 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m swim them as fast as you can no stroke restriction who'd win? looking at the records his butterfly record(200M) is nearly 10 seconds slower than freestyle.
  9. One eyewitnesses testimony is pretty heavy “He was staggering, and as he staggered towards them they opened fire with the taser and he fell to the ground like a lead balloon,” Paula Quinn, who lives opposite, told BuzzFeed News. “I could actually hear him hit the ground, and as he hit the ground the two officers just piled in on him and started kicking 10 bells out of him. “That probably went on for a minute or two – it seemed quite long at the time, everything appeared to be happening in slow motion.” “They reactivated the Taser about four or five times on him while he was on the ground,” she said. “I could see it very clearly – there was absolutely no threat to him whatsoever and I am absolutely shocked.” http://www.independent.ie/videos/world-news/dalian-atkinson-eyewitness-claims-when-he-was-down-police-kept-on-tasering-him-34966816.html
  10. Hospitals getting bombed now. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/16/world/middleeast/yemen-doctors-without-borders-hospital-bombing.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0 Must be really grim now, not really a peep about it.
  11. Police ran the operation, who actually did the shooting is a mystery.
  12. No one shouted stop. That was established at the tribunal.
  13. "West Mercia Police can confirm that officers responded to a report for the concern for the safety of an individual at approximately 1.30 am on Monday 15 August at an address in Telford. “Upon arrival Taser was deployed and a 48-year-old man, who subsequently received medical attention, was pronounced dead at approximately 3am." Yeah if you have safety in mind don't deploy tasers. they're unsafe.
  14. Most folk seem to not have grasped Ally's post, just his hashtag.
  15. Loads of folk will. Whoever took 14 seconds off the woman's 10000M though is the most special athlete on the track though not Bolt. I thought that record was here to stay like the female track times from the 80's eastern bloc era.
  16. It's amazing how he has consistently managed to beat a doped field, he;s like a third of a second faster than the next cleanest man.
  17. Lance Armstrong tweeting out "luigi" was funny though.
  18. It's no problem, i knew that cause i looked him up to put on my list
  19. To be fair i laughed out loud at the post, you've spent too long in Glasgow.
