The Jungle Book. The middle section with bare necessities and king of the swingers is as good a 15 minutes entertainment for all ages as you'll get. The ending with the tart leading Mowgli to humanity is perfect too. The elephants are canny but the vultures are shite. Supposed to be a Beatles vehicle apparently, but they pulled out. It drags the film out that bit. Could have been a perfect 60 minutes.

The thought of Thauvin playing in the derby just flashed through my mind.

I thought their implementation of the death penalty was the main topic. Beheadings is what the OP mentions to justify the thread sub-heading of "savages" and the nature of their punishments leads to a label like "medieval". Funny you mention evolution and then... I'm not excusing the death penalty in the middle east, I think it's abhorrent wherever it's used. I couldn't agree more with Toonotl on criticiziing bad ideas wherever they're implemented. While the Saudi's and US have ostensibly the same policy on killing criminals, It's implemented with greater frequency in Saudi Arabia at the moment, but in both cases the numbers put to death are relatively small (say compared to the number of innocent people we blow up with flying robots I mean). I'm delighted to live in the UK rather than a repressive regime like Saudi Arabia. We criminalise peaceful protest in certain areas and move people on, they criminalise it and hand down the death penalty. They give the lashes and jail time to victims of rape, we imprison the rapists. But then you say we're centuries more "evolved", for me there's a racist connotation, obviously anyone with an ounce of sense sees the term as a metaphor, but it's a statement that plays up to a BNP style view of biological superiority. There's no evolutionary difference, just policy. Most absolute monarchy's have to have somewhat harsher policies than democracies, what with the people rising up against you if they're not in constant fear. Were the British of the 1970s more evolved than the British of the 1960s having passed legislation to legalise homosexuality? Course not, just a bit more liberal. Being 40 years (and counting) ahead of a country on sexual equality then calling them backward, medieval savages hardly says that much for our own enlightenment. I'm rambling, point is, by any measure the Saudi leadership are horrific twats. Much worse than any democratically elected leaders. They deserve complete condemnation for the way they run things and the fact they're chairing the human rights commission is a joke up there with giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize and the fact that he sells them their cluster bombs. Saudi Arabians are not medieval savages centuries behind you and me though.

8 of our players had more touches than either of our central midfielders. As happy as we should be with the result, that's a worry.

I see you are still having no luck catching me. ftm.

Ligue 1 top scorer

Shit! The Ben Arfa argument's gonna start again.

Last season we drew 3-3 with Burnley at home despite taking the lead 3 times. The team had only 3 different outfield players... Janmaat S.Taylor Coloccini Dummett Colback Tiote Sissoko Gouffran Perez Riviere We looked like we were going to shit ourselves and throw it away in a similar fashion again today but Mbemba, Wijnaldum and Mitrovic are all a class apart from the players they've replaced. Let's hope we get no offers for them in January.

I find the policy repugnant no matter what method is used. In Britain, we were still doing it a few years before I was born though and our closest allies still do. A number on this forum would also have it brought back too. I just squirm when we talk about middle eastern countries in contumelious terms. Like someone who stopped smoking last week and still has a couple on a match day sanctimoniously berating someone still on 40 a day.

Nominations being announced on their Twitter now. Wolf Alice and aphex twin and roisin Murphy so far. I'm adding them to a spotify playlist as they're announced

If you're asking questions in a qt audience you have some interest in politics. Cameron said he didn't want to cut tax credits. Difference between not knowing policies and not seeing through lies.

Even brown British citizens. The comments at the end of the article are depressing. All about it being a job well done.

The story of the British lad under surveillance for 5 years, flying into and out of the UK repeatedly, detained a few times and let go so he could then be exploded extra judiciously is interesting. It's the best file study they have of a blatant wrong un. No "collateral damage" from the assassination either. But still a frigging disgrace they're not arresting and charging people they're able to, but letting them off the leash so they can set the dogs on them.

Exactly

Many talking this leak up as another Snowden. BBC don't seem to have even mentioned it. https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/ Major talking point so far seems to be that 90% of victims are not intended targets.

The much more humane way of killing teenage criminals is to electrocute them. Obviously. Or hang them from the neck, preferably snapping it, but if not, to strangulate them.

Boy? He's 20. America sentence mentally handicapped people younger than that to death

Aye. Our "media partner" is pushing SD tat to pay for their access to coloccini soundbites.
