RE: What about prince Harry’s children Archie and Lilibet

Defamation is the act of communicating to a third party false statements about a person, place, or thing that results in damage to its reputation. It can be spoken (slander) or written (libel). It constitutes a tort or a crime. The legal definition of defamation and related acts, as well as the ways they are dealt with, can vary greatly between countries and jurisdictions (what exactly they must consist of, whether they constitute crimes or not, and to what extent proving the alleged facts is a valid defence)

RE: Texas school shooting

Same in the UK, the main entrance is always locked and you need a valid reason to be allowed in, the UK doesn't have a history of shootings at any school, it just makes sense to protect the students from whatever harm may happen.

RE: Texas school shooting

It's far easier to blame a mental problem than face the truth that in the 21st century, no one, especially teenagers, needs access to semi-automatic guns.

RE: Texas school shooting

The US has both a gun problem and a mental health problem.

Guns are designed to kill, cars are not, sorry but that is not a valid excuse.

No one is trying to ban all guns, just have a minimum age limit and get rid of semi-automatic weapons.

RE: What makes humans unique compared to other species?

I doubt lions and antelopes would ever live peaceably together.

Nature makes survival the strongest instinct, and survival means getting food and raising young, humans have adapted and used whatever is available to ensure they survive.

RE: Texas school shooting

Sadly this type of crime will continue in the US until someone has the strength to face up to the gun lobby and have far more stringent rules regarding who can purchase a weapon, no one under the age of 25 needs a high powered multi-shot weapon, they need a girlfriend.

Australia get a new party and PM after 9 years of conservative rule

Australian media suggests or projects Labor to take 77 seats, one more than needed to form majority, as it becomes clear they will be able to govern in their own right.

So Anthony Albanese will be the new PM.

My question is, will this change be good or bad for Australia?

The outgoing PM having made many mistakes and thus lost the election.

RE: JOHNNY DEPP TRIAL

The whole reason for this court case is based on the fact Disney dropped him after Heard published unsubstantiated stories of Depp beating her up.

RE: Where has the master bloviator gone?

Thank you for clearing up the mistaken opinion that "usage" was incorrectly used, it is sad fact that often Asian English students have a better understanding of grammar than can be found with native English speakers here in CS-land.

RE: Let's learn my language( Swahili)

RE: Care worker sacked for refusing Covid vaccination

Tom, I think you will find there are a lot of "under the table" health workers in care homes or private homes in the UK as in most countries.

RE: Is the truth important to you?

True regarding truth, but a lie is pretending an untruth is in fact true.
Lying happens in life, we even have a way to describe a harmless lie, a white lie, but knowingly lying about a truthful fact is something I find abhorrent.

Twisting a truthful fact is also a lie, done usually to push an agenda.

Exaggerating is also a form of lying.

A truth can usually be proven, not so easy to prove a lie.

Censorship is not correlated to a lie, censorship is usually carried out to protect the weak.

RE: Vaccine injured lady speaks out.

Still waiting for the fictitious Spanish court case to come about, going to be a lot of red faces come the end of the 20 days and still nothing.

BS is still BS whatever the timeline.

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

Ah no, nothing negative in my post, of course, I cannot be held responsible if you struggle to understand clearly written English.

Next time I'll post as if to a 5 year old, maybe then you will understand.

Did "Buckeye" offend you Garlands?

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

Rather be an Islander than a Buckeye.

RE: Ubuntu

Have you looked at BSD OS? I've been using GhostBSD for a while now and find it excellent on an old computer, fast and reasonably intuitive.

There are several versions FreeBSD, OpenBSD etc




Being closer to Unix than Linux BSD doesn't need any anti-virus, worth a look if you want a decent OS without frills and BS that Microsoft add. Fast too.
But you need some experience in Linux to appreciate it fully.

RE: Are you getting a covid-19 shot ?

As a "Biologist" you should be aware that the covid vaccines have been around for years, they are NOT NEW, nearly modified vaccines that have been fully tested.
As for your comment regarding "'messes' with my Genes" just proves you are no biologist as the covid vaccine does not change or affect any genes.

DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING UTTER TRIPE!!!

RE: 8th March

My Birthday today also, the only useful thing coming from International women's day is that my friends always remember it's my birthday on the same day lol.

International Women's Day started in the USA in 1908, yet it is only in the last decade or so that any prominence has been given to this event, one has to wonder why?

RE: Covid vaccine: How many people in the UK have been vaccinated so far?

The UK is doing well with the vaccinations, the refusal rate is low due to most UK citizens having the intelligence to realise the importance of being inoculated against a virus. Shame other countries have more stupid than intelligent.

RE: Where can I buy really really really good chocolates?

Anywhere other than the US, American chocolate has the lowest cocoa content and has the same chemicals in its ingredients list as human vomit.
Europeans find American chocolate vomit-inducing, it really is disgusting stuff.
Belgium or French even English chocolate use real cocoa and in higher quantities.
Swiss used to be the best but no longer.

RE: Are you getting a covid-19 shot ?

Now idiots are trying to stop a "passport" from being issued after your second injection here in the UK.
These arseholes are so stupid they forget a "passport" was issued for polo, MMR and other vaccines they received when a child.

RE: Don’t treat us like Covididiots

I think all western countries have that belief, but there is also a responsibility to ensure the virus is contained and not spread by being inconsiderate.
I cannot see any connection between being considerate and living in a free nation.

RE: Don’t treat us like Covididiots

In many Asian countries, it has been the norm for plastic face shields for some years now, when serving food, in restaurants and some shops to ensure no spit etc could end up on a customers meal.
I don't remember hearing of any complaints or anyone coming down with an illness from wearing such a device.
It amazed me that Asia did this way before any western country.

RE: Don’t treat us like Covididiots

You have a sack of potatoes on your shoulder, you need to unburden them before posting, as you are now coming across as a whiny little kid whose ball was confiscated for breaking a window.
If the generation you despise so much had not followed rules, you most likely would now be sleeping on the street.

RE: Don’t treat us like Covididiots

During the war, it was against rules, guidelines to show a light after dark, as it could be seen by an enemy bomber. Had the war started in March 2020, most of the UK would have been destroyed by now, due to conspiracy theories and idiots who believe rules and laws are there just for a governments convenience.
I find it astounding how some adults can behave and act like spoilt children.

RE: Don’t treat us like Covididiots

Was Boris meeting someone? No
Was Boris cycling in a group? No
So he broke no rules or guidelines, so why the comment?

the rules are simple to follow, only some are trying to make them complicated, especially the police who should know better.

Stay away from other people
Wear a mask when near other people, especially when shopping
Wash hands frequently and use hand cleanser when washing is not available

How hard is that to follow?

If we ALL follow the above the virus infection rate will drop and so too will hospitalisation and deaths.

Another plane goes down in Asia

Sriwijaya Air flight SJ182 departed Jakarta for Pontianak on the island of Borneo at 2.36pm (7.36am GMT) but went missing over the Java Sea just minutes after take-off, dropping less than 10,000 feet in a minute, according to FlightRadar24.

Four warships were among a dozen vessels deployed on a search-and-rescue mission in the same area where debris was pulled from the water, Indonesian transport minister Budi Karya Sumadi said.

Nothing yet to confirm what happened o where the plane crashed.
All very sad.

Another plane goes down in Asia

A Boeing Co. jet with 62 people aboard is missing after losing contact with Indonesia’s aviation authorities shortly after takeoff from Jakarta.
Sriwijaya Air Flight SJ182 was scheduled to depart from the nation’s capital to Pontianak on the island of Borneo at 1:40 p.m. local time, according to FlightRadar24 data, which tracked the plane plunging from 10,900 feet in altitude to 250 feet before it dropped off of the radar. The 26-year-old 737-500 aircraft is a much older model than the 737 Max that was grounded for 20 months in 2019 after two fatal crashes, including a Lion Air disaster that killed 189 people in 2018.
Indonesian authorities said they have sent a search vessel from Jakarta to the plane’s last known location in the Java Sea. First responders were also deployed to the site to aid potential survivors, local TV reported. Flight SJ182 had 56 passengers on board, including seven children and three infants, along with two pilots and four cabin crew, local media reported.
“We are aware of media reports from Jakarta, and are closely monitoring the situation,” Boeing spokeswoman Zoe Leong said in a statement. “We are working to gather more information.” Sriwijaya Air said it’s working to obtain more detailed information about the flight, and will release an official statement later.



Some debris has been found and a possible crash site on the Island of Laki, which is uninhabited.

RE: USA

There will always be a few who voice opposition to vaccines, yet history has shown that vaccines work, and as medical science advances so too do vaccines, designed for specific viruses.
Polio, scarlet fever, smallpox etc have been virtually illuminated from the entire world, and would have been 100% successful had 100% of the population had the vaccines. But fearmongering caused the weak to refuse vaccination.

Why is there so much theorising and conspiracies regarding vaccines? Surely it is a good thing to eliminate harmful illnesses?

What information can a vaccine or even a virus test give that isn't already in the public domain?
