I never said it was, I said they are radicalizing more people, so to wipe out hamas like this, they would need to wipe out everyone, which someone said wouldn't be a bad thing.

yea that is a somewhat unpopular one. Some things are unpopular for a reason.

Try change the roles a bit.

Maybe make it a 15 year old girl instead of boy.

Maybe make it a policeman rather than a teacher.

is she a legend still?

Why stop there?

Maybe make it a 1 year old girl instead of a boy.

Maybe make it the president of the USA instead of a teacher.

Hey, you're right! I'm outraged i think. Now what about Rita Sue and Bob Too? Bob was a legend cos he drove an SD1 and was banging a couple of schoolies? Or were they victims? Not the Rover.

not convinced your amendments had the same level of equivalency but ok you keep defending statutory rape if you like

I don't think it's unpopular to say that commonly held beliefs that people held decades ago are now thought to be totally wrong. For example, when I was at school, women in short skirts and low cut tops who got raped weren't victims either, they were asking for it.

Fortunately, we've moved on from this nonsense.

You might not have considered those women victims, but I bet they did.
Totally different situation.

In my opinion, Amy Winehouse was never any good.

In a similar vein, I think Adele is massively overrated and 'Skyfall' is probably the worst JB theme ever.

The Beatles were just an average band.

Indeed. Never thought I’d hear Skyfall pronounced to rhyme with trifle.

The late Sean Lock reckoned she pronounced it Scaffold.

I wouldn’t go that far, but she didnt do much original; her music and style(s) were highly derivative of earlier genres.

As for the comment on the Beatles, their commercial success suggests better than average, albeit catering largely to people who don’t really listen seriously to music. But stand by for the fanbois to start howling that they were musical geniuses who could show J S Bach a clean pair of heels rather than being the effective purveyors of reasonably decent elevator music…

Still better than the Stones, an average pub band on a good night.

Just the continue the heresy and sacrilege I'll throw Elvis in with The Beatles too. I am quite aware that they are all regarded as world changers but I just don't get them. They do nothing for me. Never have.

I'm with you. I wouldn't say they are terrible, but they are both not what I would choose to listen to.

I reckon a lot of the great acts of the past would be getting a pretty rapid XXXX from the likes of Simon Cowell and the rest of the panel on modern talent shows.

Go further back to Gracie Fields, Flanagan & Allen, Arthur Askey, George Formby, Will Hay etc, just utter garbage.

People who use food banks should attend compulsory cookery classes to learn how to cook from fresh and not be given tinned veg, coffee, treats etc in the package.

And Micheal Jackson. He was neither a good singer, or dancer. Popular doesn't mean talented.

Wasn't it "crumble"? I can't remember all the lyrics, maybe it was both forms of pudding.

I'm hungry now.
