I predict the Russian economy will completely collapse and the Russian people will revolt in what will be called the purple revolution. Also, I predict the stress of this will be to much for Sig to endure and she will suffer further psychotic episodes.

Signy thinks that the UK Conservative party's 'Extremist Disruption Orders' will lead to people being arrested for 'thought crimes'.

It's not personal. It's just war.

Wow, have a fun time defining THAT one, KPO! But I have to say... even if this comes true ... no, especially if this comes true ... you wouldn't hear about it.

Well, you just can't make this shit up:

Nursery staff to be forced to report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists

Quote:
Nursery school employees will have a duty to report young children who are at-risk of becoming terrorists under proposed new legislation

Nursery staff will be forced to report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists under plans drawn up by the Home Office.

It is part of the department’s consultation over ways to enhance its anti-terrorism strategy, Prevent.

Critics have dismissed the proposals as being unnecessarily draconian and turning staff, who are meant to be caring for youngsters, into spies.

The consultation document on the Prevent Strategy states: “Senior management and governors are expected to assess the risk of pupils being drawn into terrorism, including support for the extremist ideas that are part of terrorist ideology.”

It continues, staff are expected to “identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism” and “challenge extremist ideas which can be used to legitimise terrorism”.

The Home Office said it would not expect the hypothetical situation of a young child being taught that non-Muslims are wicked to be ignored. Equally, anti-Semitic comments made in front of nursery workers should be reported, the department added.

Just proposed legislation, but should never have made it into writing.

Are you saying that just because I linked The Independent, that the story isn't true?

I gave you advice a few posts back, that maybe you should websearch your comments BEFORE you post them. It was exactly under the same circumstances ... you criticized my link because it was only one (and one that you didn't like, apparently). But it was far too easy to come up with multiple links from the across the world and the political spectrum.

Well, maybe you should do that here. There's enough specific information in the article for you to search the web for sources that you feel more sympatico with. Try it next time BEFORE you post.

I am saying they have an agenda. It is far left leaning and the only reason you quote them as a source is because it is taking a negative stance against someone other that Russia. You don't give two shits about what they are reporting, only that it is a negative story and not about Russia. RAT...I am sure you don't even read most of what you cut and paste and I know you don't research what the truth is; that's more than obvious.

I used to read the Independent when I lived in the UK. It was not as good as the Guardian, but a clear step above the Sun and the Daily Telegraph.

BTW "There's"

I stand corrected, although THERE'S a line crossed when a newspaper goes into the dating game don't you think?

Besides my point was that SIGNYM trolls the news to cherry pick stories that expose faults of the west only. Her sources submit facts taken out of context based on assumptions and criteria from persons and groups that judge based on their ideology. Therefore it severs little purpose and should be ignored.

Where you a school teacher or some thin?

Well we are all guilty of cherry picking, don't you think? I think it's reasonable to check out someone's sources when they post, but perhaps you shouldn't always assume that because you don't like what is being said, that the source is dodgy.

Lots of reputable newspapers run dating ads here, so perhaps it's a cultural thing that doens't happen in the US. The London Review of Books, which is a very prestigous literary mag also runs them. They are in fact the best part of the mag.

Not a teacher. Not even very good at spelling, but I get driven crazy by the misuse of 'their' and 'there' and 'your' and 'you're'. I get that we all make mistakes, but when someone can't tell the difference, it grates on me.
