#31 Re: The Garden » Michael Jackson's home contained child pornography, animal torture » 469 weeks ago
Yeah I used to defend him.
I figured he was damaged in some way - like actually a bit mentally slow maybe and still considered himself a kid so didn't follow why as an adult you can't have sleepovers in the same bed and that of craziness that was nuts but maybe different from actually wanting to have sex with kids.
Wasn't too far fetched to me considering there's other evidence of mental problems - like his plastic surgery and so on.
But this takes the cake - can't see any reason he'd have this stuff other than full on being a pedophile and using it for grooming and all that.
The animal torture stuff is pretty disturbing too - that seems his problems are even worse just being a pedophile alone.
Goes to show the complexity of life I guess, that someone can be so talented artistically, yet also have such horrible issues.
You can be all those things and still be a menace to society.

I'm going to vote tomorrow
. Still looks like a lost cause, despite the polls putting it 50/50.
Never bet against the money. The money is strong.
The money is on Remain for the major bookies.

This was from a while back.

It's worth pointing out that it seems in recent polls, remain has started picking support again and the polls are a bit closer again.
I've been looking at Bloombergs Brexit tracker over the past few weeks.
It's here: http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2016-brexit-watch/
Leave really picked up steam jumping from 24% a few weeks ago to 44% this week.
They dropped 2% today though.

Yes.
Websites are filled with comments about how it's a conspiracy by people who are pro EU.
Paranoia.

For those of us that live in different countries, what's your nations GPI rating for 2016?
Iceland's number 1 because it's an island in a frozen sea.

This got started a short while ago, seems like alot of people are signing it.
Nice move. Wont' work.
More worrying is the fact that this vote has consolidated the hard-right in Britain.
Stay or go there are going to be some serious problems with the Neo-Nazis over the next 5 years.

But I've yet to find anyone who can tell me what gender means objectively, and when we use common sense to explain it, the progressives flip out. Tell me something that is unique to one gender? Something that only a "man" has or can do. If you said functioning testes, you just removed all your transgender friends and anyone who suffered an accident or was born sterile/deformed. So because no one can define what gender means, how can a "man" feel like a "woman"? Seems like gender is just another bullshit word crafted by sociologist to pretend they're just aren't a lot of really weird and fucked up people out there.
Great point. By the same measure we cannot say objectively say what a mental illness is, unless there is a biological difference.
Would you support a law that says Ebola patients who don't identify as having Ebola should be treated as free from Ebola and require everyone else to play along?
No I wouldn't support a law like that because it would lead to a lot of people dying or getting hurt.
I don't see how transgender people could hurt or kill me though so I'm okay with them being integrated into society.

I was playing around on google trends a site that shows you how popular google search terms were over the past 10 years.
I put in all the original guns n roses members.
I know this is all fairy open to interpretation, but I thought the graphs were pretty informative.
We hardcores think of Duff as being as important as Slash and Axl but the average fan isn't searching for info about Duff nearly half as much as they are searching for Axl and Slash. No one really searches for info on Steve Adler, Izzy or Duff.
Slash's popularity has plummeted since returning to GNR while Axl's has gone through the roof.

Again I know it's all meaningless and out of context but still looks kinda cool and says something about how the public views GNR and DufF Izzy and Steve's roles.

It's for the entire UK voting to stay or leave.
In theory it means Northern Ireland needs to put up borders with the Republic. Very few people are actually discussing it at the minute though and Northern Ireland is the smallest part of the UK.Northern Ireland isn't going to be voting to leave the UK anytime soon. There's no desire for independence here and doesn't seem like it would be sustainable. Northern Ireland voting to join the Republic either for a united Ireland is unlikely to happen anytime soon either. Though that's a seperate argument and one best avoided
.
That would be .... unfortunate. The Republican VS Unionist problem would kick into overdrive.
I live in the South. This isn't being discussed here either for a few reasons. One is that my generation, 28 yr olds, don't care. The Ireland/Britain and Northern Ireland troubles stuff never touched our lives or effected us in any way.
The other reason is that no one really thinks Brexit is going to happen.
After the major vote a while back where Scotland voted to stay with the UK, Cameron the prime minster immediately made a speech about ENGLISH votes for ENGLISH laws. That might seem reasonable, but basically it was just a "fuck you" we're running the show now and your going to less of a say.
HA HA!! Good jesus... did not know he did that...
That's hilarious for all the wrong reasons.
Here's a question will Cameron's back benchers push him out if Brexit fails?
