The difference between a kestrel egg being destroyed by a human, is of course, that this is harming something else. It would, of course, be immoral to forcibly terminate someone else’s pregnancy with no consent, which is analogous to your example.
The fact is that restricting abortion does control women’s bodies. The assertion that an embryo is sentient is a belief. Society shouldn’t base laws, and control over life on belief. You can dress it up all you want, but this is controlling women’s choices on their own body. And I will take no lessons on what’s helpful from those who call or make out pro-choice people are baby murderers. ;-)

No surprises that the Christians who usually moan about loss of freedom and control over others are celebrating the loss of freedoms and control over others when it suits them. :-)
This in turn with the talk of distaste at religion in another thread. Well, this is the face of religion I dislike, so there can be no wriggling here. And next it may be gay marriage, gay relationships and contraception. An authoritarian viewpoint put forward on others, who do not believe in their stance. Yet they howl with fury at anything which affects them, rightly or wrongly.
It’s all about controlling women. The unproven sentience of an embryo, which cannot survive without the womb is more important than the woman or what happens afterwards. Those who celebrate this usually don’t give a damn about helping children economically, they call it socialism out to destroy America. The Americans rail against means to prevent gun deaths. In short, their ‘pro-life’ statement doesn’t seem to bother them, except for when it means controlling the woman during pregnancy. They have all the excuses in the world for making life harder afterwards, :-)

I would be fine with religious debate. However, BPG isn’t interested in such. He just wants to preach and proselytise.
JustIron has provided good debate on the subject, which doesn’t bring the same fatigue at dealing with a BPG sermon. He gives the impression he cannot comprehend other viewpoints. :-)

Christianity is a religion. All Christians are religious. Some may not buy into the organised version, which is where the major problems lie, but they still have a religion.

When are those podcasts with former players coming? :-)

It might have meant February 7th 2023? X-)

A new ownership process was always going to be frustrating.
Alcazar may have been right in that Swann was a wrong ‘un, but he was sceptical that getting a new owner would be difficult. On that aspect, it looks like he was wrong. :-)

I can see some opposition warming to the idea of thrashing a side who was in the Championship not song long ago and whose supporters may think they’re too big for non league. Big scalp? Kind of.
Maybe – some of the clubs like Dorking which have come from way down the pyramid, for sure. But a lot of the clubs we’ll play will probably consider themselves to be “bigger” than us (whatever that means).
That will only apply to Chesterfield, Notts County, Oldham, Southend and Wrexham.
Torquay, Halifax, Aldershot and York are on a par. The rest are definitely smaller. Not like it means anything.
I spoke to a Morecambe fan a year ago and they said they couldn’t believe they were ahead of the likes of Scunthorpe, who they saw as a traditional league club.
We are where we deserve to be, but in terms of club size we are not akin to Maidenhead, Solihull or Eastleigh.

Any fan from any club would be cheesed off if they couldn’t get in with legitimate tickets. :-) I don’t think what happened would have been different with other clubs.

Leadership involves communication, motivation and honesty, UTI. Give the fans some honest answers as to what the vision for the future is. I travel a round trip of nearly 150 miles to watch the Iron. There’s a financial commitment before I even factor in my season ticket. If negotiations are too sensitive to be disclosed at this stage then somebody at the club needs to at least say so and ask for patience. If you think that evidence of commitment is needed UTI then supporters can point to the fact that we were not playing to an empty stadium for most of last season. Look at the stats on what we had to endure!! I demonstrate my commitment at this time …. by saying that I will cough up when I have a better idea of what I am buying into .. or that I am certain that my investment won’t be liquidated.
The problem is that no-one, apart from UTI99 and a few others, has any trust in what Swann says. So, even if Swann tells the truth and gives us an earnest vision for the future, there will be scepticism.

If fans turned up and chanted Swann out UTI99 would still attack them, as he has done before, still does now, and will do in the future. :-)

I hope to see experienced signings –
1 GK
2 CB
2 CM
2 CFThat would give a squad of 25 with 3 of those under contract to leave if possible.
I am sure Wonder Goals will be along with his annual scouting report for players to sign shortly. :-)

Some might say the circus would be a better training camp for some of them. :-)

Well, their club have denied it, saying they want a clarification and discussion of rules for going forward. :-)

Well, their chairman has denied they’re making a complaint and are wanting to clarify the rules. I think they threw a paddy, realised they have no leg to stand on and have tried to save face. Bunch of sore losers. :-)
