So long as a stop and search is based on reasonable grounds, like crimes having been previously committed in the area, then that's fair enough in my opinion.

People complain about all kinds of untrue things. Just read these threads for evidence of that.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Russian involvement in Trump's election is hardly a conspiracy theory. All the US intelligence agencies have confirmed it and many Russians indicted. The Mueller report investigated and found several worrying aspects, prosecuted a number of individuals and got convictions. What has been released has been heavily redacted.

It was chucked into the cupboard until Trump leaves office by Barr. Whether or not Trump can be tied in directly remains unclear. Believable deniability is a well worn tactic of the very rich with unlimited access to lawyers. It stinks though, and that is only a conspiracy theory to those who have lost the power to smell their own arses.

Remember that Al Capone was only jailed on tax evasion whilst everyone knew he was a gangster. Trump needs to remember that and that the arm of the law is both long and patient.

No human being is genetically identical to another. However, every human being shares 99.9% of their DNA with EVERY other human being. We are all brothers and sisters. Our differences are primarily cultural and religious. It's these which produce the stresses and which need to be addressed with wisdom, compassion and understanding.

Humans share 50% of our DNA with a banana.....I think we see an example of that on these boards.

We share 60% with fruitflys and 96% with Chimps for god's sake.

So the ignorant push dim commentary when the reality is that with DNA it is in the interplay and interaction of the genes.

People who push lies about all humans being the same and that the only differences are cultural and religious are factually incorrect and dangerous. That belief has caused much harm in the world.....sounds like someone needs to read the 'blank slate' by Pinker.

IQ data shows this down to the winners in sprint finals down to who suffers from Sickle cell to who burns in the sun.

We are all the product of the evolution from our lines and that is entirely geographically related down from thousands of years.

This evolution affects all physical matters equally from our brains to our arm length.

What kind of banana thinks that I haven't come across this argument before. Egalitarian warm worded BS.

The piece repeats the same dim line about DNA being the same when I've just shown this up as disinformation and nice sounding propaganda for the ignorant.....Again, It's not the genes insomuch as how they interact with each other. We share genes with plants and many divergent species......This piece also goes on about 'white supremacy' more than once....which tells you all you want to know about the kind of people writing it.

It's the argument of the socially liberal egalitarian who's both in denial of the physical and wants to believe that the Chinese are no different to the Zulus because....let's play with categories and deconstruct.

Here's a clue, both the Chinese and the Zulus disagree with you.

Completely ridiculous and nothing but word salad.

It has zero currency outside of modern western leftist thought and no where else in the world buys it...No one in the west brought it either up until a couple of decades ago when this poison infected the universities...It's mainly in that particular 'white left' bubble. 'Baizuo' as the Chinese call them.

There is only the physical, there is no evidence of a soul and discussions on character are subjective and I won't abide them from an individual who's taken the positions this guy has.

Sounds like a good move to me.

I am a little surprised that more than two (and the unfortunate moderator who is obliged to) is bothering to read the recent exchanges, so I am grateful for your forbearance.

Nevertheless, it has run it's course. My opinions have been made clear and I can add no more. As they obviously are never going to produce anything other than denial mixed with personal abuse in response, there is little point in repeating them.

During them I have always tried to concentrate on the argument and not the person expressing them. The responses though have often played the man and not the ball so I have begun to feel a little like Wilf must every game. At least in this thread there hasn't been too much rotational fouling!

Indeed if this was football the opposition would surely have been red carded several times by now, but without VAR here to advise the referee the old rules still seem to apply.

If Trump starts a Starship Troopers regiment I think I'm in.
