I mean... with Hamas you haven't even said they're bad. You said what they did was akin to a slave revolt (even though... they're meant to be the fuckin' government of Gaza). You think the Houthis shooting missiles that... aren't doing anything other than interfering with shipping lanes and are going to cause the US Navy to strike (which means more death for Yemenis) is a good thing. To your credit, you did come close to saying the Houthis are bad (but at this point, I'm going to have to assume that's because they're Shia) - but you still think they're doing a good thing. So you're taking bad actions that haven't resulted in anything other than death of innocents - and you're attributing good qualities to them because you've taken a side. You taking a side and seeing these things as "bad" or "good" is very much seeing the world in black and white.

So what the fuck do you think Hamas were thinking on October 7? How was it meaningful resistance? They knew it would lead to Israel obliterating Gaza. They were counting on it. I’m not playing the card of anyone being responsible. I’m not doing mental gymnastics to justify the unjustifiable. I’m not going to do that. If you can rationalise the indiscriminate bombing of a densely populated area with tons of children for a sustained period of months - you’re a monster. By the same token, if you can rationalise a savage terror attack like Hamas’s… you’re also a monster. It’s easy (and safe) to cheer on a terror attack sitting behind a computer screen in the west. But make no mistake, Hamas knew what their attack meant for the people of Gaza - they were counting on it. So by cheering Hamas on, don’t think you’re not one of the many westerners who don’t value middle eastern lives. The kids of Gaza deserve better than having their government use them as sacrificial lamb pawns in geopolitics. I don’t know what it is about this conflict that causes so many to lose the ability to have objective rational thought & why some are so quick to leave humanity behind. The propaganda of this is so wild, I hope it’s well studied. The inception of Israel was poorly thought out and western countries are to blame. But genocide is wrong, full stop. Terrorism is wrong, full stop. The governments and leadership of both Israelis and Palestinians have failed their citizens, their neighbors, and the world - for decades. Justification of any of their recent crimes is impossible.

That’s what you do.

Is this Joey Barton the same guy that struggled big time in Scottish football and then called it poor quality when he left? That essentially renders his opinion invalid on all matters.

You’re the one looking at it in black and white, genius. So yes, that is emphatically “gonna be you” I’m not sitting around praising Hamas, the IDF, the Houthis, etc. You’re the one who’s now praised Hamas and the Houthis. You’ve obviously taken a side. And you think it’s just to back one of two genocidal sides. I laughed at the media trusting bit though

I bought games from Steam. I've not touched them. That's my Steam Year review.

Females in any walk of life shouldn't need to justify their existence. Anyone that is wanting women out of sport/a sector is everything that is wrong with the world and needs to take a hard look at themselves - that goes for other groups too, such as those put to the side for their ethnicity, religious/sexual beliefs. My only two pence, is that there's a lot of false reporting (not sure the best phrase to use) in order to bump up the womens game. For example you'll hear "what a screamer from her!" when it actual fact it was with as much venom as a paper bag floating in the wind, or shouts that "X female" is just as good as Mbappe! I think it actually harms the game. If it was just genuinely accepted that right now, the women's sport is of a poor standard (with fucking bags of potential) it might not be such a controversial talking point. As someone with a daughter myself, giving females the platform to achieve anything they want in life is something I, and any other respectable person would want. TL;DR - Yes, in.

Well this year has been quite something. My wife and I recently lost our 3rd baby during pregnancy, and had to give birth to our child at 22 weeks. Funeral is next week. I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for Mafia Wars this year sadly.
