No. I said it was "another of those weird American words that make little sense". To break that down for you: It is American in origin. It doesn't make much sense. The reason it doesn't make sense is that when someone is offended, insulted or whatever, it is not their arse that hurts. The arse is not the seat of emotions and feelings. I hope that's cleared it up. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and do some grown-up things. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miracle Aligner 249 Posted June 26, 2020 Barely any terror attacks for months and now two in a week? This is seriously out there but doesn't anyone reckon these are gov orchestrated responses to people breaching the lockdown rules to scare people back into their houses?

Nope. if the govt wanted to get us all back indoors that badly they would have shot several people on Bournemouth/Brighton beach the other day, not unleashed an idiot to stab two people in a hotel in Glasgow.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted June 26, 2020 It was not a terror attack, according to the Scottish Government. It was a hotel used to house asylum seekers and, I would guess, one of them ran amok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The government have realised fear is what keeps people inside long ago but the concern is people are no longer scared. Give them something else to be spared (an usually high rate of terror attacks) at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The government doesn't give a shit about people breaching lockdown (or in general tbqhwy), so to think they'd orchestrate attacks to scare people into staying at home stretches the bounds of incredulity to breaking point. (Besides which why would 'terror attacks' scare people more than 'attacks' unless its demonstrably part of a mass event, which we clearly do not have here?)
