Both left and right have phoney/propaganda pieces, the Huff Post is near the top of that list. This is so disrespectful to the hundreds of people killed by radical Islamic attacks over the last decade or so.

Sadiq Khan is as English as the old Honda in my driveway.

You are always arguing with him, perhaps your advice is relevant for yourself.

The royal family isn't English stock, by any stretch.

Scotland reduced knife crime amongst younger people by treating it as a public health issue.

I live in London, and voted for Sadiq Khan, but the Mayor of London is not really that important even here. I'm amazed how many threads there are about him on an American running message board.

I had never noticed the London Mayor threads before he was elected either. Cannot work it out.

Islam is a race?

It’s scary that there are this many stupid people.

I have a suggestion. Allow concealed carry of guns. Knife murders WILL go down.

Which is the cause: immigration, Islam, or lack of guns? Please just pick one and run with it.

Historically, from 1688-1936 you would be correct but as you might know, the Queen Mother is of English stock and so was Diana (a Spencer-Churchill). So actually Wills, Harry, George, Charlotte, and Kate are all pretty English/British. Fergie's got to be a Brit.

Some versions of the Honda Civic are built in England. So your Honda could be English.

Anyways, it's just a tired trope that DG comes on here, complains about some culture or group of people, and just looks to rile people up. It's sad, really, I wish he had better things to do. Maybe if it's such an issue to him, he could volunteer with troubled youth in the community to help turn their lives around. As another poster mentioned, Scotland addressed their knifing issue as a public health issue and drastically reduced the amount of knife attacks. Get after it¸DG! Be a part of the solution for the problems that you think about so much!

This is not a good piece to use as a point.

1) Muslims are 1% of the US population. Even if this article were true, they would be responsible for over 6x their expected "fraction" of terrorist acts.

2) The 94% however, is nonsensical. If you open up the FBI piece that is cited by the article, it is utterly filled with statement after statement condemning Islamic Terror groups and Muslims.

The very end of the article provides a list of terror acts, as well as their "perpetrator", but leaves out the actual demographics of the individuals who conducted the act.

Even if we assume that all groups excluding known Islamic Terror organizations contain no Muslim members, the outcome isn't exactly positive. The plurality of terror acts prior to 1990 were conducted by groups of Latin American origin (Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc.). Following that period, the overwhelming majority of terror acts are actually acts of vandalism, thievery, or arson conducted by Animal Rights and Environmental Activists. If anything, all this report confirms is that petty Terrorism acts are conducted by Animal Rights and Environmental Protection groups, while larger-scale terrorist acts are primarily committed by South and Central Americans.

I'm not sure what his position is on the explosion of acid attacks.

London does not have a knife problem.

London does not have an acid problem.

London would not have a gun problem if they allowed general ownership of guns.

London has a cultural problem in that there are a lot of people in their society who are uncivilized and willing to resort to violence. Until they fix their cultural problem, no amount of banning common household items will make things better. This is true in the US, the UK, or wherever there's a lot of violence among people.

After mixing in some speed workouts his races have really improved. I think his form is coming along nicely considering how early in the season it is.

DG, Do yourself and the world a favor by taking a break from this message board and seeking therapy. Thanks.

Guns are for men. You wouldn't understand. Hide under the covers with your wife.

I did that same course back in high school and didn't think much of it. There's a bunch of turns and a fast downhill towards the finish but I think his time is legit.

This board has an obsession with the Mayor of London problem.

The mayor of London needs to be deported. AFTER he serves 20 years of hard labor with the rest of his ilk along with his nation wrecking benefactors, and you know who they are.

The knife attacks aren't being perpetrated by British men. But one suspects you're just another disingenuous hasbarat. Go back to your prefect's sack.

Trusting people with Guns, is part of trusting them with Freedom.

I can see why UK (England) doesn't allow.

Heh, Media Claims Trump's "War Zone" Statement Outrageous... while corroborated by actual Hospital (NHS).

Then he blabbed on about recurrence rates, and gun wounds were more difficult, etc., political talk.

Here's the original article Trump (USA) read:

That's hilarious.

Tangentially related this made me think of a passage from a Dr. Viktor Frankl book where he (a concentration camp survivor) tries to explain why he doesn't believe in collective guilt:
