    Paranormal? What do you believe?

    Fifi, I've seen some horror films where they get locked in a castle during the night. Can't remember the name of it... For Life and Death, you might be interested in this thread: https://themindtavern.com/community/threads/what-happens-when-you-die.98/#post-639

    We are all here to help if anyone needs it. That is the reason I changed the name of this forum section from Mental Health to Mental Health & Support.

    Is the death penalty immoral?

    So we have Prison < Death penalty. But "Death penalty < Torture followed by death penalty". Why not the latter, if there is a continuum of punishment, and we should match the level of punishment with the level of the crime?

    Brett Kavanaugh - this can't be right

    Ok, so a form of appeasement according to Wikipedia. I am looking forward to either a) the testimony of the first accuser, or b) perpetual delay in testimony.

    Brett Kavanaugh - this can't be right

    I haven't heard the expression "bread and circuses" before. Reading between the lines, I presume this means money and controversy? My knowledge of US politics is only since the presidential race, so I have no idea what the Republicans did or didn't do.

    Brett Kavanaugh - this can't be right

    Having watched the recent attempted nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, I am appalled at the tactics used by the Democrats. To me, the smearing of a good man's name to further their own ends is disgusting. The "victims" appear to be unreliable and politically motivated. Take the...

    Right to live/Right to life

    I wondered where the Doc comes from, and yes, it does provide gravitas. It is a symbol of attainment and in particular has more association with medical doctor, a high status profession. A long time ago, letters after your name actually meant something too, but nowadays nearly everybody has a...

    What is your favourite charity?

    I find it interesting what a charity you support reveals about the donor. Gives an insight into what is important to that person.

    Is Political Correctness toxic?

    Essentially Bee we are saying the same thing. It wasn't about that originally, but it has become that and the demonisation of men.

    Is Political Correctness toxic?

    The problem is, once something becomes weaponised, it is no longer used for its original purpose. There is a coup of sorts.

    Is Political Correctness toxic?

    It is predominantly saying that women should be believed and men shouldn't. That is not due process. There is no default position in law where you say you believe the accuser based just on accusation.

    Ambulance wait times

    It was. Most the times I have called the ambulance recently seem to be from 10pm to midnight. I think they probably get busy then with people coming out of the pubs etc. Friday and Saturday night are obviously very busy times but every time seems to be busy now! They most certainly won't get...

    Is Political Correctness toxic?

    Bee, you know my thoughts about anonymity for all. We are perfectly aligned on this. Considering that only about 1/3rd of serious sexual assault cases in the UK result in conviction, that could mean that up to 2/3rds of mens cases are innocent. However, they will have already been condemned in...
