    Theres a reason people carry knifes in the UK. Feel free to try and milkshake me and you'll be getting buried by your mum and dad not too soon after.

    People in the UK have never experience real violence, real fear and real stress of living somewhere where violence in common. The only people who throw milkshakes are upper class rich babies who are just rebeling against daddy and then expect him to bail them out after.
    I spent the first 24 years of my life in Zimbabwe where if you pissed of the wrong person you and your entire family would be burning in a tyre the next day.

    People of the UK: Stop pretending you like or can do violence, you are pathetic weak and without drones and missiles would of been conquered by an one angry dude with spoon by now.

    Do you really want to spend at least 25 years in jail because you got milkshaked?

    Debating with facts only works if both sides agree to enter into the debate honestly and fairly. If one side respects facts and the other side calls everything they don't like a lie, all the debate does is normalize that (wrong) way of looking at things.

    With the EU elections tomorrow, Nigel Farage was quite literally splashed all over the front pages taking everything else off as a headline. A lot of commentators thought it was a wonderful way to show Farage as the victim and gain loads of publicity just before the elections for the Brexit party.

    Of course, as the media here in the UK is pro-Europe, some were wondering if it was arranged by the man himself or his party, obviously there was no evidence to back that up, but we know how the media like to insinuate stuff like that or as some call it, fake news!!

    The worrying thing, because of the polarisation about Brexit, a lot of MPs are getting quite a lot of abuse online and on social media, and the media is not quite taking the incident that seriously and treating it like a joke, as it was only Farage. Even some commentators thought it was acceptable to throw stuff at people depending on the situation and in what context. Good job it wasn't their wife or their kids, or more seriously it wasn't something more sinister like acid, and hey, it's not like any of our politicians have been murdered here recently or anything. I sometimes wonder about this country and the people who live here and this aggression and self-entitlement that has crept into our psyche over the last 20 years.

    I'm all for protesting and direct action (non violent) in the right circumstances, and arguing opinions even if you don't like what others believe or say, but knowing how this country works, it will seen as the "norm" or "acceptable" if anything, I can see it getting worse if something isn't done quickly to stamp it out..

    So do I. I agree with your comment I replied to, just wanted to add more emphasis.

    For me at least the line is crossed when you break the law.

    It pretty shocking to me that a lot of otherwise intelligent people do not understand how the nazis assumed power to begin with and actually think humiliation is a good idea. I mean yikes read a book or something will ya?
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    Now, if fascists, communists, Islamists, or any other virulent ideology actually take over a state and commit acts of violence, then of course you take action.
    Is the murder of Jo Cox enough for people to say they don't want hateful divisive figures in their communities and take action?

    I wouldn't call laws against throwing food at people unjust, but I guess that wasn't what you were thinking about.

    Also fight them at the polls, not this petty shit.
    Not that I’m condoning the milkshaking of far right douchebags, but those two things aren’t mutually exclusive.
    Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
    You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.

    Except for the little fact that the Nazi's were socialists.
