I assume nobody actually believes this nonsense, but that someone in authority has said this in a public forum is beyond credible.
We have an offence in UK law of βconspiracy to pervert the course of justiceβ.
Just wondering if there is something similar in the US?
Surely they defend the territory by being part of NATO, or did I miss something?
A type of practice that I find interesting historically is the rigorously untrue. Astrology, for instance, was often a very tightly defined practice with a seriously requirement of learning: it just wasnβt actually real.

I think youβll find that private education is bought qualification, which is not the same thing. At least in this context.
Please tell me this is fake.
Women's Institute. An organisation for women in the UK. It's always been very conservative, but I had thought they were starting to enter the 21st century.
Seems like I was mistaken.
Never voted Labour in my life. BUT, I will if that helps to keep Reform out.
And yes I know how bad Labour seem at the moment.
But have to go for the lesser of two evils.
This is America today. It doesnβt have to be this way.

Has anyone been more thirsty for an endorsement for Governor?
His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

That's pretty much the exact ratio I'd have expected..
Man the state of American Christianity breaks my heart. It's never been great, but this seems a particularly dire era.
Every job should pay a decent wage and offer the sort of βbenefitsβ that the civilised world calls RIGHTS.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving.
Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.
Social media post: Joshua Reed Eakle @JoshEakle Healthy societies don't lionize vigilante killers. Ali A Olomi @aaolomi a healthy society doesn't let people die because they can't afford their insulin
What we're fighting for could not be more obvious.
What's at stake are our lives or those of our loved ones.
It doesn't end until we win.
And the whole world heaves a sigh if relief.

You are right, I didnβt consider N Ireland. But even so I still donβt remember that many βmass shootingsβ. Memory suggests bombings but either way any number is far too many.
Thatβs what science does.
Just saying.
Not wanting t get in an argument, but the figures for the UK seem unbelievable, speaking as a retired UK cop
I can remember two or maybe three in the last fifty years. I accept that I might have missed some, but so many?
Iβd really like to see some detail, like what makes a mass shooting?
if it is going to take decades, then surely the time to start doing it is now.
