Nah. I played it also. It was fun.

Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.

What?

Was that just an embarrassed verbal vomit?

You were wrong, and rather than admitting, or leaving it, you continue trying to spew words in the hope that you confuse and distract people from realising you were wrong. Are you that insecure?

What you are referring to is heuristics. It's simplistic. Effective for wild animals that require processing of complex information quickly to escape predators for example, but not so much for civilised humans that require a greater deal of accuracy.

You demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the approach by assuming I'm a Democrat or even American.

The skill is in understanding the process, the flaw and developing a capability for critical thought. You'll get there eventually, hopefully.

I'm on that instance and not a tankie. I'm politically left, but object completely to authoritarianism and justification of atrocities.

So yeah, I get annoyed when pricks generalise and wish my death upon me for thinking maybe we should help the poorest in society and don't think the super rich deserve every penny they get.

I find it ironic when people are hating on one political grouping and their conduct is no better than the ones they despise.

Wow, that's a pretty discussing comment. You do not agree with a few peoples views, do generalise and want them to die. You're worse than tankies.

Fair point, and no on the last point. Legalise weed, tackle gangs and help addicts get the help they need. Punishment doesn't always work on crime. Without some element of reform.

Of course knife crime is pretty high here and if anything, police are a little weak on it and it has got out of control because jails are too full.

In some parts of the UK, it is genuinely scary to walk around and even looking at some young folk wrong is the best way to end up in an ambulance.

Many studies have looked into this, culture etc. For example how people conducted themselves in say Nazi Germany or during the Rwandan genocide.

Simply trying to understand how so many folk can commit such atrocities.

Knife crime is viewed differently in areas with high amounts of it. It's more shocking in an area it doesn't exist. In an area where folk growing up knowing or seeing people being stabbed, it's seen very differently.

I don't think juries should necessarily take it into consideration, but understanding situations, it's quite relevant. If you've stepped into both poor and rich areas, you'll understand the differences.

No.

The context is useful to understand the area and what occurs there though.

A very small step.
