Yeah but for example a little crash that wouldn't hurt you at all in a car can cause serious damage if you're on a motorcycle
Which is why you should wear what is, quite literally, body armour as you ride, as opposed to just a leather jacket or some shit. The reduced risk of injury or hospitalisation is actually quite significant.

A motorcycle is a billion times more dangerous though
I don't think it's as dangerous as a lot of people think; a lot of fatal accidents occur because the rider isn't wearing the right gear, is drunk or is otherwise driving stupidly as opposed to a car driver just not seeing them or something. It is more dangerous on average, but part of it comes down to how well you can control each vehicle. Driving a car puts me on edge, riding a motorcycle less so.

I fucking hate driving cars. Riding around in a two-tonne bullet, surrounded by other two-tonne bullets, is not exactly a relaxing experience.
But my parents won't let me get a motorcycle.

It might not have been a last resort, but it was a perfectly legal one.
In terms of international law and the UN charter the war was an illegal one. The Secretary General Annan at the time said so himself.
Kofi Anan can suck my polished dick. The SG doesn't have the authority to declare the legality of a war; only the Security Council can do that.

You're not worried she's not going to lead the UK out of the EU?
No. She stayed quiet during the debate, no doubt to give her the edge in positioning herself as a neutral candidate who could lead the country regardless of the referendum result. May's position is unique in that she can, I think, be trusted to carry out Brexit while commanding support from Remainers.

Don't bank on May getting it, though. Very few times over past leadership election cycles for the Tories has the first-round frontrunner actually won. May might take it, simply due to the political climate right now, but I wouldn't put money on it.

Crabb is out.
Fox too. Looks like May will take it. Not sure how I feel about that.
Who do you support now?
I'm supporting May now. She was a 'quiet' Remainer, and I think she has what it takes to negotiate with a degree of strength. I'm not entirely convinced with her record, but anybody who can survive being in the Home Office that long isn't stupid, and I'd much rather have May sitting in Whitehall that either Leadsom or Gove.

Young Stephen on the march.Stephen Crabb, a candidate in the Conservative leadership race, has pledged to create a £100 billion Growing Britain Fund for infrastructure projects including social housing and school buildings if he becomes the next Prime Minister.
Crabb, the current secretary for work and pensions, said that funding would come from issuing new government bonds after bond yields fell to a record low and brought down borrowing costs following Britain’s vote to leave the EU.
“The cost of borrowing is incredibly low. Spending government money on infrastructure has therefore never been more affordable,” Crabb said.

Can Flee read German fluently? Apparently Schauble only said we'd be excluded from the Single Market because Osborne asked him to.

I could see May still stopping the Brexit.
No way, man. She was almost completely absent from the debate, and has said repeatedly that the government must carry out triggering Article 50. Most of her argument for becoming leader is that she has the capacity to negotiate strongly with the EU.

probably because the vast majority of muslims are peaceful and moderate
Peaceful? Sure. Moderate? Fuck no.

He would've been feeding into the capitalist machine no matter where he ate, so what difference does it make?
There's a massive difference between purchasing a meal from one of the biggest corporate chains on the planet, and buying it from a local market. Or even a small store.

Hey Verb, remember when Meta and I were talking about how stupid (and dangerous) it is to apply logic to ethics?
I don't.

Cameron Watt (libertarian socialist/anarchist and remain voter; generally makes good videos) finally makes a post-Brexit video:
This special snowflake lives near me and I've seen him in person a couple times. He's an even bigger gimp than he is on camera.
Didn't you see him with a Marx hoodie the one time?

http://heatst.com/uk/us-uk-trade-bill-in-congress-just-one-week-after-brexit-vote/Despite claims that the US would banish Britain to the “back of the queue” if it dared to leave the European Union, Congress is already considering measures to boost trade with the UK.
A bill to lock down current trading arrangements, and fire the starting gun on a bilateral deal, was introduced to the US Senate yesterday.
The United Kingdom Trade Continuity Act mandates the US to keep trading on exactly the same terms after Britain leaves the EU.

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
