This has brought a warm smile to my face. With so much evil in the world, and we read about the terrible things some people are capable of on forums such as this, it is so great to see that there are good people out there doing the right thing. The 40 year old mother of four children died...

I do think that 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 depicting extreme violent, non-consenting sexual activity - rapes, snuff videos, necrophile fantasies, and stuff like that are a massive problem in pushing those with such warped proclivities towards committing terrible sex crimes. Non-consenting 🤬🤬🤬🤬 of this type...

I live only about a mile and a half away from there! But down here in southwest England we hear tales of big cats roaming quite often, usually associated with the nearby Dartmoor National Park. Tales and sightings like this have been cropping up regularly for literally decades. This one is the...

Today in the UK at noon the UK held a one minute's silence for the victims in Tunisia as the planes carrying the bodies were arriving home. In the supermarket in which I work, we stopped what we were doing at noon, as did all the customers. Apart from a couple of crying babies too young to...

Perhaps. But I am not convinced. The kind of scum who see no problem with gunning down innocent tourists are not usually best known for their humanity where children are concerned. But many local people behaved with the utmost bravery and honour. Stories have been emerging of how some of the...

It is now believed that at least 30 of the 38 dead are British, which seems very much to indicate that Britons were the main target. The gunman's father appears to have disowned the gunman and his actions. But there are reports that perhaps three gunmen were involved, more than originally...

Actually, that's a very good point. Feel a bit dumb now for not checking that out myself. I just assumed it was a new thread without checking. Thanks for putting things straight, though. And I was one of those non-American posters who contributed a post in the gay marriage thread recently, so I...

For sure. Which is a very timely reminder for us all to bear in mind that not all muslims in muslim countries are evil. In most such countries - including in Tunisia - the real nutters are only a minority. This man deserves recognition for his actions.

Thing is, these nutjobs can travel around. They don't need to restrict themselves to muslim countries. I fear that at some point, a couple of these nutters are going to show up outside the USA but somewhere where lots of Americans take vacations - eg some beach in Mexico or something like that...

I may be a Brit, but I have a gay female American friend, who is overjoyed with this decision. And I am pleased for her. After all, if two adults want to get married, why the hell should it matter whether they are man and woman, man and man, or woman and woman? If they are happy together and...

I know. And I've just checked out the legalisation of gay marriage thread - 671 responses and well over 40,000 views. Compared to this terrorist atrocity with nearly 40 dead - 21 responses and a little under 450 views. I can only conclude that either the American media is letting their public...

The majority of this forum's membership are Americans, and these terrorist attacks appear to have been under-reported in the US media. Right now the aftermath of the Charleston massacre and the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage - understandably big news in America - appear to have crowded out...

The answer to that basically boils down to economic self-interest. Saudi Arabia sits on such vast oil resourses, that even making these temporarily unavailable through conflict - with the risk of Saudi extremists blowing the oil wells up and putting them out of action for months - would have an...

Saddam Hussein was an evil man, but we in the west choose other evil men as allies, eg that dude in Uzbekistan whose regime is prone to boiling it's own political dissidents alive. Saddam Hussein - although capable of local land grabs if he thought he could get away with it - was not our enemy...

Apologies. Have heard from my work colleague, and it is with some relief that I realise I got it wrong. He is actually in Egypt and not Tunisia. The death toll is now up to 37, with Brits, Irish, Germans, and Belgians known to be among the dead
