Joking aside, poor sod, was obviously mentally tormented, whatever set of beliefs led to this sad act.

That’s one less vote for the Donald. Unless votes by Ouija board are allowed in US?

You put "Parents have no rights, only responsibilities".

What was it actually supposed to mean? If it actually meant something like "some parents try to control their children too much, etc", ...

Completely misleading. We both know that, but I can see you're just not going to admit that.

I'm not trying to pick a fight.

I am trying to understand your true position. If your original statement was just worded in a very misleading way, it that difficult for you to admit?

No. When have I said anything that could be sensibly interpreted that way??

I believe parents have rights, clearly established by law, and there is no mainstream appetite in either the Democratic...

But your original statement was a simple “parents have no rights, only responsibilities”.

Are you sticking to that? Or was it just a misleading way of expressing your views.?

Pragmatically, I don’t think the parents can directly decide their children’s religion. I was baptised, for example, but decided long ago I’m not a Christian. The right the parents have is not that:...

Factually there’s a lot of established law in US that parents do have rights. If you doubt that, you can always check via Google.

I won’t define it in strict legal terms (I probably couldn’t even...

Wow. Do you really not realise how extremist that view is?

I wonder what other country than Israel could have a couple of thousand assorted high explosive projectiles aimed at them, and be expected to not regard it as an effective declaration of war.

Yes. That’s maybe the most amazing thing (with strong contenders): just how transparent the act is.

I think of him essentially as a con man, and have from time to time tried to compare him with...

I know all the reasons the Republicans ended up with Trump…”fanatical supporters”, “he gives licence to hate”, etc, etc.

I suspect we are probably in close agreement in reality then…because I agree it could be true. We’d only be debating the probabilities of whether it’s true or false.

Incidentally Iran’s assurance...

You really don’t accept that there’s a significant chance that the story is fake?

“An unattributed diplomatic source”, “under conditions of anonymity”.

I’d have thought there’s at least some chance that’s the story is fake. (I don’t think it’s that likely that US reaction would...

According to Israel both US and UK used jets to intercept and destroy drones, etc or the damage would have been far worse. So it looks probable both countries are already directly involved, though…of...

Forcing her out isn’t an option, given the rules of the game, even if Biden was daft enough to take that line (pretty sure he isn’t).

Probably the wisest thing said in the entire thread…although the thread as a whole is a really thoughtful discussion on a difficult issue.

Yes. (Think presently he's required to hold the stock for 6 months before he can sell?).
