Should publicly exposing illegal activity be a criminal offence?Without whistle-blowers (I refuse to use the term 'leaker') there would be a lot more corruption. Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning have paid a tremendous price for doing the right thing. What Michael Flynn did was illegal as well as being a major...See More »
Will Trump's businesses profit from his Presidency?He still won't even publish his tax returns and appointed a cabinet with cronies and family. There has always been some insider dealing in Washington but I predict the 'swamp-drainer' will take it to the next level.
There are a lot of trolls on here.On EP trolls were more abusive. On SW its more that you get men pretending to be women to see if they can get some gullible smuck to flirt with them. I have spotted a few I am sure of.
Anyone here like Science Fiction and Fantasy books?Iain M Banks is my favourite author. Details please people.
Is Islam really worse than other religions? I am utterly non-religious but I fully disagree with people who single out Islam as being worse. Action depends on how religious text is interpreted and that is based on culture and wider social/political factors. Quoting nasty verses written in the...See More »
Does immigration affect wages of indigenous people?And do you have evidence for that which is non-hypothetical?
Will the POTUS be impeached over the Russian links?And if the corruption is proven, will his supporters accept it as fair?
Have you ever typed your name in the search box?I found 'Is Burnley123 a paid troll?', 'Burnley123 sent me a d**k pic' and 'Question for Ladies. What do you think of Burnley123 and would you do him?' 😂. Welcome to SW
I actually think Donald Trump is going to prove a lot of people wrong......but sadly not George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, or whoever wrote the Book of Revelation. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/08/donald-trump-obnoxious-karma-reincarnated-as-himself-frankie-boyle
Should Milo be allowed to speak?I think he should. Criticise the troll and take it apart with your arguments. Getting angry or no platforming gives him exactly what he wants....See More »
Why are the Chicago Bears doing so badly?I used to follow US football a bit and I have noticed that they are not doing well. Why is this? Legacy of an entire defence retiring at the same time and paying too much to an over-rated quarterback, or is it something different?
Latest Tweet from President Bannon's media spokesman.(Quote) This is a deliberate strategy to bypass the courts and extend executive power.
Who will win the French Presidential Election?This has become a four horse race and sadly I think Le Pen is slight favourite. I think Fillon's problems are a good thing though because A He is awful and B the most likely to lose to Le Pen in the second round.
Does anyone on here believe that the 'Bowling Green Massacre' happened?And if not, does it not bother you that the POTUS is making things up?
Can you have alternative facts about alternative events?The Bowling Green Massacre did not happen and there is no evidence. That Kellyanne Conway can say this - and that some people believe her - really should worry a lot of people....See More »
Is Donald Trump a Fascist? (though he is not a NAZI)I posted everything below back in November and I think its certainly still relevant. Trump is not Hilter and the Holocaust is not about to take place in America. Nonetheless, this question does deserve some serious thought. I have read into this...See More »
Who wins when you opt out of politics?IMO its the powerful people who don't. Cynicism and disengagement are understandable human reactions but they are also dangerous. In this way, I think a decision not to engage also becomes a political choice.
A real tough guy loves to call people snowflakes...... then blocks people for making jokes about a political leader that he likes. Pffff :-)
Should America ban immigration from Saudi Arabia.Its a rhetorical question. Statistically Saudi is the hands-down the number one source nation for Islamic terrorism. So why are the right-wing people on here not angry that it has been left off the list, along with Egypt and the UAE?
Why is the US banning Muslims ONLY from countries that it has attacked or placed sanctions against?(Quote) - Chris Murphy.
When a move aimed at stopping terrorism succeeds...... in banning all the citizens from seven countries which have killed zero people in terror attacks on US soil since 1975.
