Meanwhile, every single day, burglars, thieves, violent criminals and despicable conmen are being caught with the help of CCTV. Isn't this just the next logical step?

They just talked over him with a completely disrespectful tirade. I am utterly disgusted. What revolting people Trump and Vance are.

Sadly, it happens all the time. It's not just the body that gets worked over, it's the head too.

And yet...there is a selection process etc etc.

There is a selection process. Jury candidates can be rejected by the defence or the prosecution.

If you don't hate anyone why use hateful language against people in your replies to me? Why use hateful language against a compassionate person asking for tolerance? Your hate is what I see, and it makes me sad.

Well she was quite angry wasn't she?

They only divide us if you let them: if you let hate and division rule your heart instead of conpassion and kindness.

Sad though, isn't it? To be full of anger and hate for benign people and situations.

How are you drawing unfounded harsh and unkind conclusions from a speech about compassion, love and acceptance?

How is compassion hateful?

Thank you, that is really helpful. I think I need to take some time to have a play too!

See, I think that, then I think about all the neighbourhood & community groups who are held together via Facebook and I worry that all that togetherness & communication will be lost.

Still getting to grips with Bluesky: some advice please! I've followed some Feeds, which are listed, but my account page shows no Feeds. Is that coz it would be Feeds I set up? Also: What's the difference between Feeds & Lists? Also, can I set up something similar to a Page in Facebook? #Blueskyhelp
