Did I say let them off? Why does me pointing out things that challenge your point of view mean I condone letting off rapists?

Not make a huge show and dance about how big and scary migration is and how white people aren't safe because of them. Don't make the big issue of sexual violence in the UK about migration. Focus that attention and money on education for prevention, deterrence, and rehabilitation. Tackle the root issues of why young men do this, and find solutions to their unhealthy views on women and themselves.

Are you serious? No it's not. The population of Asians in the UK is 9% and the percentage of asian sexual offenders in the UK is 5-7%. It is lower.

I'm not against controlling immigration more strictly. And I know these statistics matter, but it's important to discuss these things with the nuance they have.

The issue isn't specific nationalities or ethnicities, the overwhelming majority of sex crimes are committed by young adult men—this is the most important statistic. The migrants from these particular countries skew more male than migrants from countries who are lower in that list, so it makes complete sense why their per capita rates would higher. And also even in these circumstances in the UK, 80% of total sexual offenses are STILL commited by white men. Sure the per capita rate might be higher in the foreign Afghanistani population in the UK, but the amount of crimes is still overwhelmingly British and white.

With the the data and the nuances in mind, making your fight against sexual violence about immigration is ridiculous. If anyone genuinely cares about stopping sexual crimes then their focus should be on the overwhelming majority first, which is British young adult males.

"However, he does suggest trans and gay people should not face persecution, and that Muslims should obey the laws of the country they live in rather than seeking to apply Shariah law themselves."

Did you actually read the article?

Many things can be true. Islam can have violent origins, and violent texts, and violent followers. It can also be a faith people see differently: a faith people choose to believe is about peace and that doesn't condone violent or immoral acts. Islamic texts can be wrong, the people who defend those texts can be wrong, and so can reform and support for Israel.

It's people like you—people who can't see any nuance in life, and have no real ability to see outside of themselves—that are the problem. On all sides.

Most of these guys are only flocking to calling themselves Christian because it's become a narrative that fits their beliefs. They didn't choose Christianity because they believe in Jesus and want to change their lives.

I don't think he's a great actor. I've never seen him do an effective emotional performance, and to me he's only slightly better than Gal Gadot. The only performance of his I've liked is Mission Impossible. He should play more villains like that. For me he's on the level of someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and hey, I like Arnold but only in a very specific type of role.

Hmm wasn't a lot of Destiny's Child and early Beyonce relatable relationship songs? Oh wait no... Diva is one of her first songs scratch that.

Light1209

Should add Tiktok to that list.

These schools should be private and not state funded. In the bible the Jewish people expected Jesus to be a political figure who'd overthrow the Roman government and forge a Jewish one. He didn't do any of that. A state funded Christian school shouldn't be a thing, and I say that as a Christian.

I can bet lots of the entertainment you like is very political in one way or the other.

Putting the other stuff aside, I don't agree with him about the trunks. Just because the reason for the trunks was prudish attitude before doesn't mean the trunks can't come to represent something else in today's world.

So from the article it seems the baby was found at her house and her family members were arrested??? With none admitting who did it? Maybe I'm wrong but it just sounds so strange... Disgusting.

Clearly he's a butthole shaped like a poop.

Yup it's a time issue.

I really don't think so. People keep saying this like they think they know football but it's a dumb take. In many of Argentina's games this world cup the entire team was the reason for the win. Even yesterday Argentina's defense was excellent. Their goalkeeper was maybe the best of the entire tournament. Their defense was much better than almost every other teams we've seen.

Light1209

This is true. Say what you will but Argentina's defense was excellent.

Light1209

Trust me the English will be worse than the Spanish.

Light1209

Yeah. At least we beat England.

Light1209

I don't think so. Losing enzo damaged us massively, and took away our attack. There could've been a little more attack with 11 and it could've changed things. Argentina almost always finds a way to get through a defense eventually.

Light1209

At least the ones saying it was rigged in Argentina's favour can shut up now.

Light1209

It's spain Midfield game... Argentina didn't know what to do against and was forced to play defensively.

Light1209

The team is strong. I can see them still being a threat.
