  in the women's euro tournament, england beat germany 2-1 at wembley!!!.

  i'll be honest - i've never really been that interested in women's football.

  no, it's not because i'm a sexist pig, it's just that i was brought up on men's football and haven't had a tv license for the past 10 years.. but this win could really put women's football on the map, at least in britain.. there has been a bit of hysteria about the nickname 'lionesses' but i think it's a great name.

  No. BBC has some great programming - I admitted as much on another thread.

  But, if I want to watch ITV or Channel Four or any other of the non-BBC channels, why should I pay a fee which benefits the BBC? How the f**k is that fair?

  Let's also consider the role the BBC plays in our nation's morality. One nickname for the BBC is 'Auntie', because it sets or suggests what is acceptable vs what is unacceptable for UK citizens, a bit like the way an auntie would set what is acceptable for younger ones in her family.

  Yes, the same BBC which turned a blind eye to Jimmy Savile's peccadilloes claims to know what's best for Britain. You couldn't make this bullshit up ...

  Was the team 'diverse(tm)' enough - there was a row about that, too, lol.

  For one game all eleven first team players picked for that game were white, and so were the substitutes. There obviously are black and ethnic minority players in the squad, but some activists said how 'racist' it was to field an all-white team

  (Would the same people slam Nigeria for fielding an all-black team? I think we know the answer, lol.)

  i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?

  i'm sure the uk's bbc does.

  it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

  Meanwhile we pay athletes and actors exorbitant amounts of money to entertain us.

  Just where are our priorities? - we pay pro athletes lots of money because they bring in hundreds of millions of dollar-pounds globally.

  We pay journalists a moderate amount because they typically bring in a moderate amount of money.

  ^^^ This is fair, surely?

  what is a TV License? - In the UK, all citizens must pay a yearly fee of £159 for a TV license if they want to watch live TV programs.

  That license fee sustains our state broadcaster, the BBC.

  So, even if I have a TV but don't watch any BBC channels, if I just want to watch ITV or Channel Four, I still would have to pay £159 every year for the privilege.

  Pretty shitty deal we got in Britain, eh?

  There has been a bit of hysteria about the nickname 'Lionesses' but I think it's a great name. Lionesses do most of the hard graft in lion prides - male lions are lazy bastards in comparison.

  And England's Lionesses hunted down the Germany side yesterday, no question.

  July 31 2022 - the day football came home (again).

  PS - you have a point about media bias, too.

  If a person didn't know anything about Britain and watched the BBC (our national broadcaster), that person might conclude that about a third of our population was black, with another 20% gay, and that there was a nice cosy consensus that trans women are women.

  None of this is true, of course - Britain is a white-majority country, approx. 3% of the population is gay, and there is currently no consensus that trans women are women.

  You're probably right, Punk.

  I stopped paying the TV license in Sept 2012, when I first went to uni. And I've never paid it since. I don't watch telly because a lot of it is shit - I don't even own a TV. Apart from nature programs and live sport, it's pretty much crap.

  I love film, so a few years ago I bought myself a DVD player for £79. I now own about 200 movies on DVD, plus stuff like Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers and Twin Peaks. I also own Walking With Dinosaurs, The Blue Planet and Planet Earth II ... all on DVD.

  I don't miss watching telly one bit.

  Hi Deeno, nice to hear from you.

  With regard to the WTS, take your time about your future, what you want to do with your life. I hope you make good decisions from here on in.

  PS - how can your pronouns be he and they? It's one or the other, surely...?

  It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

  Good comments, Thisismein1972, from the previous page.

  As I've previously stated, Lloyd isn't unintelligent.

  But he seems to think his intellectual ability/potential is worth 'protecting' whenever any kind of criticism is offered. He seems to think that he needs to post different kinds of comments just to 'win' the argument.

  And that's just not how discussions/arguments are supposed to work.

  It seems Lloyd just doesn't 'get it'.

  With proper, adult discussions, intelligent people can give different opinions, and even criticisms, so that different ideas can be batted around. It's how we, as a society, sort things out.

  And Lloyd is a complete non-starter in this regard ...

  There is no way of verifying the existence of God.

  There is no way of verifying the existence of an afterlife.

  I guess I'll find out about it on my deathbed.

  What I do know, is that this life right now is real, so I'll concentrate on this.
