No, it's not. Civilians are civilians and militants are miltiants regardless of their fashion choices. You have to consider the logic of the alternati...
Here's where nuance comes in, for me at least. There's a difference, for example, between a targeted missile strike on an apartment that kills an enem...
It confuses me that it's so fucking stupid. Superior in every way possible would include e.g. intelligence, which would make you a racist. So you ough...
Your claim was not limited to morality. Your claim as it is written is that the West is superior to the non-West in every possible way. Are you saying...
This is the quote under scrutiny: The sweeping nature of which makes it obviously false. But I still want it admitted so and withdrawn without any BS ...
Lol. You know what you wrote is amazingly stupid at best and now you're just going to try to babble it away. Withdraw the comment and get it over with...
I'm just going to keep doing this until you both realize how amazing (ly stupid) you are being and withdraw the comment / endorsement thereof. And no ...
It's amazingly amazing for example how superior and more civilized American politics is to, say, Japanese politics. Trump is probably the best example...
It must feel amazing to feel superior in every way to every one who's not Western, morally and in every way possible all the time every day, like I gu...
Interesting. I could and have at times kept going for twenty pages of that trash and sometimes something good comes out. But yes, the only thing stopp...
Just take the UN off the table :lol: . The UN represents world opinion, you know, the whole world. But let's just take that off the table because the ...
What's insane is that you on the one hand claim to be against killing civilians but think my idea that Israel stop killing massive amounts of civilian...
To be clear, in case I'm misinterpreted again. I think certain cultures are better than others. I think Swedish culture is better than Saudi Arabian c...
The IRA blew up pubs full of off-duty soldiers and civilians, killed old folks at a remembrance parade and bombed the entire British cabinet in a Brig...
You've moved the goalposts here. The fear of Israel being destroyed by Hamas is invented. The fear that Hamas will unjustifiably attack and kill innoc...
Agree. What I'm primarily against is the escalation of violence by whatever side does it. Both sides seem too willing to go to the extremes and I see ...
It's an impossibility for Hamas to militarily defeat Israel, a nuclear state backed up by the U.S. Talk about an invented fear. Are you also worried a...
It's almost like making excuses for war crimes and then claiming our values are superior because we're Western would make us sound like some opium-add...
Have you considered the options for defending the value of civility that don't involve bombing schools and designated safe routes, shooting white flag...
Satire to be exact and much deserved. And Israel is doing a very comprehensive job at this. Who's more destabilized, ruined, and fearful? Over a milli...
More good stuff from Haaretz. Sorry, full articles behind pay wall but it's worth noting there are plenty of moderate and sensible voices within Israe...
Anyway, Hamas's unique combination of strategic idiocy and murderousness combined with Israel's opportunism and utter lack of restraint = the end of G...
This is the worst of the gaslighting. That these Hamas militants with their tiny rockets, rifles, and hang gliders are a real military threat (even an...
You can conceptualise a sculpture by the rock it's formed of or by the empty space chiselled out to make it. Either way you have a structure. So, ther...
The way I interpret the story is as a commentary on the dynamics of society in general, not as seriously presenting the ostensible ethical dilemma (th...
My writing right now is pruning the weeds that obscure my exotic plants and flowers. The weeds keep growing and so much so that that's all there seems...
I either a) come up with a "seed line" and just keep following it or, failing that, move my fingers across the keyboard until something good comes out...
My first intervention on this recent iteration of this thread was to call Hamas butchers and animals. But of course the strategy of you and other weak...
Au contraire, morality works like this: in the decades long conflict of Israel vs Palestine, when Israel attacks and kills Palestinian civilians, that...
Leaving the kindergarten level commentators behind, here are a couple of interesting headlines from Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which tends to try at l...
But that's what the police do. When the bad guys do something and go hide in a city, the police kill everyone in that city until they have killed all ...
It's not exactly hearing it because it doesn't sound like sound but like silent sound. But I identify with it so it sounds like me, Bugger. Am I abnor...
And why would there be stories like this if this person is in the majority? I don't buy it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/inner-monologue-experi...
America is one of the few places where you can get away with being simultaneously anti-semitic (damn liberal Jews and their evil Hollywood, media, ban...
This overlaps nicely with Un's post above. You see, populations of Hanovers overshoot unless culled regularly, so by doing for nature what she can't m...
I think you've got the cojones for it. And 'tis surely a life, roaming the gusty wilds from Connemara to the Burren, hunting Hanovers (a type of noctu...
