I think anyone found with a knife on them should automatically get sent to the army. I can literally think of no other method of a) dealing with it and b) not ruining peoples lives forever in a prison system.

I like the 'put âem in the armyâ idea. How many times does this soft as shit justice system let these fuckers out with a court warning of various restrictions (which they have no intention of following), and a warning to joe public to be aware that the perp is âhighly likely to reoffendâ. Iâm talking Canada here. Familiar to Brits too, eh? Thought so.

And if theyâre a success in the army, with a little luck itâll be some foreigners life they ruin forever instead of a British person.

Fear is always a shit teacher
My best friend from primary school murdered a grown woman when he was 14, id stopped seeing him a couple of years before as I moved out of the area, I bumped into his group several times and some old friends were in there and they were just crackheads and horrible.
Anyway 2 of them joined the army and I saw both of them a year ago on site, they said it helped them as they both got a trade and skills and learnt to look after themselves and discipline, got emotional talking to me actually it was nice.
I think the army installs values that kids donât get from their crackhead parents sometimes.

Hardly say well done to the judge.
Whilst the outcome was one that the Assange team wanted, the way in which it was given does not set precedent for journalism/whistle-blowers to be able to expose heinous war crimes.
Been following Wikileaks and Assange since its inception, met him a number of times - and Iâm sure of it that this result will be more bitter than sweet for him.
I was âwatchingâ the trial via live-tweets, and I have to say it was the biggest fucking shock to see the words âDenied extraditionâ.
Interesting. What do you mean by this? Iâd like to learn more.
Well, I guess I addressed two points, both of which arenât unique thought.

Assange is an egomaniac perfectionist who cares for one thing, and thatâs his goal. Nothing gets in his way. I guess, in these circumstances, Iâm just glad that his vertical is exposing government secrets. Going the other way, an example could be, ironically, Trump.
-
The courtâs decision itself ruled that Assange would not be extradited to the USA; but not by the means of legality (or illegality) of his (or more specifically Wikileaksâ) actions against the US state. Instead, the outcome, or the WHAT, he wanted was achieved - Assange being released. But, the WHY was not achieved at all. The Judge ruled that the prosecutions case was sound, accurate and right, and that what Assange did was criminal. This case, despite the outcome, has not set a precedent (I.e a case a Judge/legal teams can refer to to help make a decision - or at least justify one). Justice hasnât really been made.
Chomsky summed it up well to Al Jazeera.
Chomsky told Al Jazeera: âWe can celebrate the fact that Assange wonât be sent to the barbaric US incarceration system, but the rest was a disaster.â
âThe verdict was a gift to the Biden administration. They will not have to bear the onus of a trial that would be an international scandal,â he said.
âAssange is dismissed as mentally ill. The verdict gives a judicial imprimatur to the US government charges, no matter how ludicrous they are and how thoroughly the were refuted by defence witnesses.
âThat grants license to use them next time the government wants to silence someone who is informing the public about state crimes that authorities would like to conceal.â

Marj is fairly common, I know a few people from school whoâd use that. Not that I disagree with it being quite horrible to look at in terms of spelling etc lol

Thought Iâd better consult urban dictionary, its what I often do before I comment on slang, just in case Iâve got myself confused haha. Itâs definitely a term that gets used. I noticed it get used more often when âmumzyâ started getting phased out haha
So pickaninny means âchildâ? Thats interesting, honestly the only time in my life Iâve heard the phrase is when people talk about Johnson referring to âpickaninnies with watermelon smilesâ (I believe that was the quote)
