Tried watching it once stopped 10minutes into forst episode. But then I think Ricky Gervais is not funny or a good actor.Afterlife is crap.
I enjoyed the first season & I like Ricky Gervais - but the last 2 seasons are rubbish!Tried watching it once stopped 10minutes into forst episode. But then I think Ricky Gervais is not funny or a good actor.
The best thing he ever did was roast Hollywood at the Golden Globes
Same. It’s like anything that raised a laugh in the first one he lazily rolled out again and again in the second so it became really unfunny. The second one seemed like a halfhearted cash grab to meI enjoyed the first season & I like Ricky Gervais - but the last 2 seasons are rubbish!
Maybe counselling to talk to someone? But I can't see how if you have a life changing event and do become depressed, (which sounds like a totally normal reaction) you can just snap out of it.On the topic of depression, what happens if you do have something to be depressed about, eg incurable illness, going blind etc. Any suggestions to snap out of it.
I am not depressed, I have accepted my situation, but it is not that easy for everyone.Maybe counselling to talk to someone? But I can't see how if you have a life changing event and do become depressed, (which sounds like a totally normal reaction) you can just snap out of it.
Just white people use that excuse?Ahh but don’t you know terrorists are only those with darker skin. Anyone White who does those atrocious things always has ‘mental health issues’
Generally yes, not to say its the case EVERY single time, but its quite common for mental health to be questioned first when something is done by a white person. With other ethnicities its always usually straight to being called a terrorist and then mental health comes into question afterwardsJust white people use that excuse?

“Always a mental issue”. That’s quite a claim.Generally yes, not to say its the case EVERY single time, but its quite common for mental health to be questioned first when something is done by a white person.

Not sure why though as anyone who does anything like this is not mentally well, its always a mental issue
“Always a mental issue”. That’s quite a claim.
Which particular white terrorist has been claimed to be mentally ill and by whom. Certainly not Andres Brevik. Not Samantha Lewthwaite, Sally Jones or Jack Letts. I don’t recall this defence being used by any of the IRA bombers over the years. Or Timothy McVeigh. If it’s quite common you should be able to give specific examples?
Come to think of it isn’t this defence being trotted out not only for the incident in Texas but also the asylum liar who tried to blow up the maternity hospital in Liverpool? As well as the guy who killed David Amess? Wasn’t Poor Lickle Shamima Begum the victim of grooming?
Agreed.My thoughts exactly.

Wasn’t there plenty of speculation in the press about this man being mentally ill too?
Gokmem Tanis, who shot 4 people on a Netherlands tram is reported to be suffering from an unknown psychiatric disorder which made him “vulnerable to extremist ideology” too. People just need to call it for what it is, just as they do with white supremacist terrorist attacks and the IRA.Agreed.
It seems to me that Mental Health is a convenient excuse to deny any agency at all for your own actions.
If you have been formally diagnosed and have undergone treatment it can be mitigation. If it is self diagnosed then.
Khan pre-planned his attack and even designed a fake suicide belt. Quite an achievement for a demotivated depressive.
A cynic might suggest that the ."psychiatric disorder which made him vulnerable to extremist ideology" is religious belief.Gokmem Tanis, who shot 4 people on a Netherlands tram is reported to be suffering from an unknown psychiatric disorder which made him “vulnerable to extremist ideology” too.

Without wishing to offend anybody. This has pretty much always been my take on any religious beliefs also.A cynic might suggest that the ."psychiatric disorder which made him vulnerable to extremist ideology" is religious belief.
It's the only explanation I can ever understand for a person who believes that his actions are preordained by an invisible friend in the sky.
Every person has a bias which is usually based around their political opinion. And it's certainly my experience that the Woke Left are just as desperate to mitigate non white perpetrators as White Supremacists are to mitigate white ones.I didn’t say there aren’t terrorists and i’m not saying its the case with every single attack but to deny there is not bias when such incidents happens is naive, i’m saying when it comes to the media reporting this incidents the first articles are never stated as a terrorist attacks, they always discuss the persons mental state and then we get the facts.
This article explains the bias better than I can
How News Media Talk About Terrorism: What the Evidence Shows
After extremist attacks, public discourse often revolves around whether news coverage treats white and non-white attackers differently. Research could help.www.justsecurity.org
Guess that’s my UO, white vs ethnic minorty terrorist attacks
And yea i don’t think anyone who does these attacks is way sane, they have mental issues.
That article doesn’t hold much water when you think back to the 70/80”s and even beyond when anyone with an Irish accent in England would automatically have been under suspicion of being a terrorist, it’s just a sign of the times imo ,nothing to do with White Privilege .I didn’t say there aren’t terrorists and i’m not saying its the case with every single attack but to deny there is not bias when such incidents happens is naive, i’m saying when it comes to the media reporting this incidents the first articles are never stated as a terrorist attacks, they always discuss the persons mental state and then we get the facts.

The thing with the Abrahamic religions is this. They are supposed to be based on the teachings of a Holy Book, be it the Bible or the Qu'ran or whatever. Now these are supposed to be the blueprints for a moral and spiritual life. In fact the Qu'ran takes it further and is regarded as the irrefutable word of God. Taken word for word through his prophet. Yet to read any of these books cover to cover reveal 100s of direct contradictions and passages so obscure that they can be a interpreted literally any way you want to. It seems to me that God the perfect being didn't half hedge his bets.Without wishing to offend anybody. This has pretty much always been my take on any religious beliefs also.
