    Brexit would be bad for Britain and Europe, Trump is a liar, Daesh can be beaten.

    It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

    I'm taking bets on the relative contemporary states of intellectual liberty between Walney and the Northern California Mountains. . .

    or, what is the likelihood that Nick censors this thread???
    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

          I know that you can do better than that.

            You know, it is funny. Stalkers and haters can't really do the discussion here for having blown their wad elsewhere, and what's worse (for them), they had no idea of the content of the video, which Nick has helpfully suggested with his thread title here.

            Why would Nick censor the thread? The OP reasonably comports with his world view.

            Blokes have been caught out, badly.

              The Op, the discussion he puts out is so overboard, reasonable discussion is unnecessary! It's about as biased as it could get. You soak it up if you want, I won't lower myself to listen to it for too much time. He isn't worth it. But, as I said, put it next to your bible or whatever and believe!

                I'm a bit confused Nick. Do you agree with him, disagree with him, maybe only agree on a few points?

                  Generally I do agree, but find him a tad pessimistic. History shows that terrorism runs out of steam in about a generation (30 years) where there is a will to bring it to an end. So it may be a long haul, but Syria and daesh will eventually be sorted. Similarly the refugees problem requires time and money to build the infrastructure and create jobs, but with a will and some brains can be done in a few years.

                    The French generate philosophers like we generate car mechanics.

                    That said, I think he is fairly naïve when he says that Daesh can be killed by going to the head. Daesh is merely manifestation of an idea, and an expression of victimhood run amok. I think the 'defeat' of Daesh as an organization cannot happen purely militarily ( although clearly that is a fundamental component ), it will also be economic and most important, cultural... and THAT is a long confrontation. Like in decades, not just years.

                    As for Brexit, I would subscribe to the idea that it is not a good idea for all concerned.

                      Thank you.

                      I read a couple articles about him after Sky Blue started his thread, and he's been busy. On the good side of many issues, with a couple controversial ones to keep it interesting.

                      Is Europe dying? Nope, but that sells papers, so a bit of hyperbole in an otherwise interesting interview.

                        Pretty much Gerard, it's an idea. Hard to snuff an idea!
