Nobody knows. We don't really even know how many victims there are as so few come forward (for valid reasons, btw) - unsurprisingly even fewer rapists come forward to be counted. I do think a lot of people equate 1 in 3 women being attacked with 1 in 3 men being attackers but it is quite likely that it is a few men attacking a lot of women, rather than a lot of men each attacking one woman. But we will probably never know for sure, as we can't trust the word of anyone.

Sorry, psychically?

This is why cows are one of the most lethal animals in Western nations. They're all cute until they decide you have food and a dozen of them try to outrun you. I've seen some wild horses go straight through a man in the UK, I don't want to see it again.

I grew up reading the KJV as I am English, reading the American 'translations' of the same text is shocking, and coincidentally most of the huge changes are to the advantage of the people doing the translation. I can only imagine how different it is from the actual original, or the intended message (if real).

Give me the names of those British people and I'll politely explain to them the error of their ways. Britain is where it is today because it allows people to move there, not because it is an insular island surrounded by a moat.

I am confused by your separation of Europe and Mediterranean

You've never heard a bee before?! It took me twenty minutes to see the caption but that surprises me.

Sooooo...paying reparations to people who have been treated badly in the past is no longer woke?

Is there a legal basis for this blockade and if not why is he still standing there?

When I was a teacher some of my students kept a book of the unhinged things other students said, my personal highlight (ha) being "why don't they make highlighters in black?"

My band of 15 year old once got hired to be the band at a Catholic Primary (junior?) School summer fete and we spent the whole day playing System of a Down covers. Great day, they paid us in beer.

Thank you for posting the proper source, not sure why people are replying to you thinking it is fake still

Ah but what they're forgetting is how good a deal the massive corporations will get when they buy all the dead farms and run them as a huge business with migrant workers (unpaid)

Both parties seem to want broadly the same thing - the rich to get richer and for them to be part of the rich. They just go about it in different ways.

Starting to think trans youth have a legitimate case to seek asylum in friendlier nations.

You're right, but weirdly they consider Caitlin to BE a rich white guy, so you'd think they'd care a little.

That truck could not have telegra0hed their turn more clearly, that cyclist needs to learn to read the road before he becomes part of it.

The Russian Navy has essentially always been a joke, no matter how big and scary it appears to be.

#28 we got that show and they cancelled it because people decided it wasn't perfect and therefore shouldn't exist at all. I'm not bitter.

Lombard Street seems like a terrible place to attempt a driveby

So let me get this straight - you don't like Pope Leo because the priests during covid - working for the previous Pope - were arrested for breaking the laws put in place by the President at the time: yourself. Are you criticising the great ministers? Your own laws? The previous Pope? What?

That's a good question, but considering the sitting President has consistently endorsed Nigel Farage, albeit from his own palace and not travelling to the UK, it doesn't seem that out of place.

This is the example I keep using when people try to support one side or the other in Israel/Palestine. They're both monstrous to innocent civilians, it's possible to support neither side and simply wish for peace to save innocent victims.
It's also only relatively recently that this behaviour was considered inappropriate, Wellington famously prevented his soldiers from doing this but he was an outlier until the 20th century.

Jeez are you new to the whole right-wing attempts to control the entire world thing?

Exactly. They were the leading power in the sense that they were in the lead of the race to be powerful, but they didn't lead in the sense of commanding other nations. Persuading, probably. Commanding, not unless it was one of the stints with an American in command of the shared forces.

Thr US was and is a hugely important part of NATO. That's not quite the same as leading it. Yes they could set the agenda, but only because the other nations agreed with it, if that makes sense. It's also by far the most powerful single member and probably has been since the beginning, so a lot of decisions regarding weapons acquisition tend to go their way due to numerical and manufacturing superiority. Which is fair enough. But they take it in turns to actually lead.

Probably not no, but the moulds they come out of may be, and the equipment used to make or print on them may be.

Absoslute legend keeping it in a straight line. I'm amazed there aren't ways to keep a truck from hitting 90mph that don't involve the brakes, like engine braking etc... but then I suppose when there's 40 tonnes pushing you along there's only so much physics can do.
