    Would you really? Stop making such outlandish statements like this and others.

    If you've ever watched a video of a beheading, I can guarantee that laughter would not be your response.

    You're posts are all over the place. As others have advised, you should take a break from the internet for a while and try and work on some of your issues.

    You seem like a bloody simpleton to me.

    I watch them for entertainment value

    I am going to dismiss that claim unless you actually provide evidence. Couldn't find anything on Google.

    I suspect wouldn't as opposed to couldn't. For someone who claims to have more empathy with animals than humans you seem to be very ignorant of their behaviour.

    You claimed earlier all a human needs for full sustainability is 10 sqms. Absolute rubbish, the figure is circa 5 acres.

    I'm done responding to your nonsense. As already suggested to you on this and other threads you should take a break and get your head straight.

    And whinging like a little bitch about how unhappy you are and how much you hate your job.

    What? I claimed the opposite. The person was saying you could fit the worlds population in Texas with 10sqms of space. I said that doesn't make sense. What about resources, the food and material requirements?

    You're saying like it's something I didn't know. Yeah no ****ing **** Sherlock. Whinging gives me sexual pleasure. You seem to have nothing better to do than follow all my posts. If you want a 1 on 1 conversation we can easily arrange that.

    People on the far-right can't comprehend the idea that someone might do something decent for no personal gain.

    That's why these social justice "activists" do these things. I guarantee she couldn't care less about the deportee. It's all vapid attention seeking. Why else is she recording herself?

    Jesus change the record. Everyone who disagrees with you is far right. Maybe people just see this see this idiot for the person she really is.

    I admire her bravery to stand up like that and halt the deportation however misguided it may have been. It's easy to become emotionally involved and to empathise when you meet asylum seekers and hear of the life they left behind, even if they are not entitled to asylum.

    You are a do gooder then! If you get involved in this ****e

    Fair enough, I just wouldn't necessarily call it "do gooding" considering that it's often confrontational and destructive as well as the times it's collaborative and constructive. For example, obstructing Irish Water installing meters wouldn't be considered "do-gooding". Not all acts of civil disobedience in furtherance of a political agenda involve doing a good deed which is designed to directly help another individual, which would have thought is the classic definition of being a "do-gooder".

    In general, the term refers to busybodies who butt in to "help" others without asking, and inadvertently make the situation worse in doing so. An example would be someone who calls the cops to report a car burglary next door, when in fact it's the car's owner breaking in because they locked their keys inside. Or someone who intervenes in a couple's feud to try and get them back together, and instead causes them to break up by babbling. It has to involve the irony of the supposed good deed backfiring and having the opposite effect. This doesn't count for political activism, since it's rarely intended as a selfless good deed but as an advancement of one's own preferred political agenda.

    But she knows absolutely nothing about the person. A court in Sweden - a country that has been more than generous to immigrants - has decided he's not entitled to asylum. Who is she to tell them they're wrong? Besides what has she achieved except delaying the flight and delaying his deportation?

    Preventing the deportation of someone who you genuinely believe will be killed if they get deported is a fundamentally decent thing to do.

    The fact she recorded her protest and posted it contradicts your suggestion she sought no personal gain.

    I will give you a perfect example of a do gooder.

    A guy I used to know went to Greece a couple of years ago to help the Syrian "refugees" in the camps there. He made a post on Facebook all of a sudden saying he was going... garnered a couple of hundred likes.

    I seen his post too late to challenge him. He obviously wasn't aware that the vast majority in those camps aren't Syrian. He is still there as far as I know assisting illegal economic migrants into Europe.

    He would consider himself a political activist.

    Political activism my ****ing hole

    If he believes that economic migrants should be allowed in regardless, then that is indeed political activism. Just because you don't agree with a political cause, doesn't mean it isn't activism.

    What has she prevented, the deportation order was not revoked. All she has achieved is 'likes'. Now if she were to go to Syria and join the 'White Helmets'.... respect.

    How does she know he will be killed? Do you know her? Has she told you all this? Plus, he's going to be deported anyway
