  1. The Muslims "came to help" in Iberia, and only left when they were expelled by force. And that has been typical through history.

  2.  @hopliteluke1452  And the people who acted under its unlawful actions should still be held accountable. The cases still need to go to court so as to set the precedent that until the act is ratified, such actions are not lawful. Otherwise, this will happen all over again. And he will retract the act after 5 days, only to reissue it again after 2-3 thereby doing an end-around.

  3. Which is why the defendants need to demand to see their cases goes to court so as to set a precedent that until the act is ratified, it has no legal power and that those who take action under that act before it is ratified WILL be held to account for unlawful actions.

  5.  @pjm6939  I like the nickname a police officer in Windsor called him: Trudick.

  6. And they need to. THe defendants should demand that the courts hear their case so that the Supreme Court is forced to rule on the legality of what just happened.

  7.  @knowname7289  Not really. The UN 1948 partition was just and legal. It is the Arab refusal to accept Israel's right to exist that has caused this conflict to continue.

  8. The thing is, they do have something to lose, they just don't realize it. And that realization will come too late.

  9.  @shakeelali9418  May you experience first-hand the "justice" you find acceptable. The God of Israel has a funny way of making those who curse his people fall by their own hands.

  12.  @aiaesthetics1124  Except, this isn't free-market, it is corporate oligarchism, the anthesis of free-markets.

  13. Don't conflate corporate oligarchism with free-market capitalism. The two are NOT the same. This is oligarchism plain and simple.

  14. Except, the Anglo-world has turned its back on English Common Law holding it in contempt. From Australia during the lockdowns, to New Zealand's hate speech laws targeted at critics of Islam to the US government engaging in lawfare to stifle political opposition, we are FAR from the standards which made English Culture the preeminent culture and justice system in the world. And the world is worse off for it.

  15. Corporate oligarchism, which in practice is no different than a monopoly.

  16.  @TheWaynos73  Same problem here in the US with education. Nobody disciplines in school anymore and the results speak for themselves.

  17.  @stevenwex6797  The WHO under Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus covered up not one, but TWO cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia. And that is not the only epidemic where they were grossly negligent.

  18.  @paulfaigl8329  "Organic farming" is what precepted the revolt in Sri Lanka against their government. Very same policies as the Netherlands is trying to do now.

  19.  @genkiferal7178  Not ethical huh? ALL life save for plants and archaea engages in predation on other life. This may surprise you, but farm raising a species for consumption actually helps to preserve that species. Despite the claim, there are some certain nutrients and proteins the human body needs that can ONLY come from meat. Plant based substitutes for it is similar to rabbit starvation, Kwashiorkor, Beriberi, or Pellagra. But I agree with you about the power mongers in Davos trying to make one world currency they can control. This is Orwell-Huxley levels of dystopian nightmare.

  20.  @GeoffMiell  How long does it take to build a nuclear reactor for an American Super carrier? How about the nuclear Submarines that Australia is looking to acquire? You are hyperventilating over a topic on which you have zero understanding.

  21. If you live in a desultional fantasy. They have been whining about climate change since the 1910s. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now. All they care about is power. And you give them that power over you.

  22.  @Kyle-gj6oc  Yes and no. Taken to the extreme, you are correct. But if you tit for tat and only go a measured degree proportional to the other side, you do NOT get to the other extreme but instead balance out somewhere in the middle. Reciprocity is how you bring things back to sanity.

  23. There is no such thing as "peaceful divorce". As Lincoln said "it will be all of one or all of the other" in his house divided speech.

  24.  @kets4443  How much of that is his critics making him out to be worse than he actually was? It was something of a Roman tradition to embellish the evils of predecessors whom you disagreed with. Incidentally, harsh punishment is about the only way to keep corrupt people in line. As Thomas Sowell pointed out, you have to create the conditions where evil men choose to do good rather than rely on the supposed goodness of human nature.

  26. Considering the DoJ declined to go forward with any charges tells you all you need to know.

  27. Indeed. That his critics are parroting the propaganda leaflets of the DPRK, it makes you ask what is REALLY going on?

  28.  @paulcastle1718  The problem was that he was way too trusting. His first blunder was taking Mike Pence, the establishment golden child as his VP. Pence is who recommended Priebus as Chief of Staff(primary WH leaker), Dan Coats (DNI who ran cover for and protected Comey, Brenan, Mueller, and the rest), Elaine Chao as SecTrans, and many more. Pence was to Trump what Grima Wormtougne was to King Théoden of Rohan.

  29. I'm sure he also enjoys "skeet" on his blackface too. And I am NOT talking about hunting "skeet".

  30.  @hopliteluke1452  No, you are conflating your opinion with verifiable fact and objective truth. But then moral relativist who only believe in power and not principle would do that because to you then ends justify the means.

  31. Which is why the cases need to go to court. The defendants should force the issue and get a precedent set that any actions taken before ratification are unlawful and those who do will be held to account.
    2
  32. Indeed. The defendants need to demand that the courts hear their cases. Don't let the government walk away by dropping the charges. Force a precedent to be set making such actions taken without final ratification unlawful.

  33. Indeed. They will do this again right before the elections so as to make them a sham.

  34.  @AWARHERO  Easier than the 235 in the US house and 100 in the US senate. Compared to the uphill battle in the US, 185 seems a lot easier to achieve.

  35. Grossly exaggerated. The amount of waste (including contaminated suits and other non-reactor materials) created in the last 70 years barely covers one Rugby or Cricket Pitch by half a meter.

  36. How are tarriffs usually applied? You don't have free trade when only one side drops tarriffs and the other sides don't. That is Trump's point: to use the threat to enforce reciprocity.
    2
  37. The big point is reciprocity. If Australia isn't putting tarriffs on products imported from the US, Trump won't place tarriffs on Australian goods coming to the US.

  38.  @Goyimsagainstzionazis  Who put those children in danger? Who REGULARLY uses children as human shields? Stop making excuses.

  39.  @Goyimsagainstzionazis  They had many different options. Fatah, Arafat's old party now run by Abu Mazen is less radical. Your problem is that you lack perspective. And you apologize for Salafi extremism.

  40.  @juvezhang1715  That agreement isn't worth the paper it is written on. The Saudis are done with the Palestinians as are the other signatories to the Abraham Accords.

  41. Longer than that. Haj Amin Al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, commander of the Bosnian SS, and chairman of the PLO called for "driving Israel into the Sea". They never renounced that demand.

  42.  @Colin_Izer1111  Your petty need to make such statements reveals your existential nihilism. I pity you because men smarter and wiser than you have gone mad walking the path you insist of traveling. Interestingly, that spiritual emptiness is exactly WHY you seem so hell bend on destroying faith others hold. You are so miserable that you seek to make others just as spiritually miserable as you are.

  43. The Palestinians have never renounced their demand that Israel be driven into the sea. They refuse Israel's right to exist.

  44. Apples to oranges false analogy. Gaza has been an independent nation since the IDF pulled out in 2005. Hamas has ZERO justification for this. Also, do your Indian independence movement indiscriminately kill women and children? You insult Ghamdi which such comparisons.

  45.  @rawdog314  How? Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005. There was ZERO justification for what Hamas did.

  46.  @pwillis1589  You are trolling.

  48. Left wing and right wing are part of the same bird. To quote Mercutio, "PLAGUE ON BOHT YOUR HOUSES!". The third party just adds Escalus to the Montagues and Capulets.

  49.  @ZELJKO472  Most Olympic games put the cities that host them into a financial hole that lasts for decades. The governments that host them often follow those municipalities into financial insolvency.

  50.  @genkiferal7178  Yeah, and tell me they are not using some kind of supplement derived from animal products to compensate for the nutrient deficiency, specifically B12. Look, I am not saying you can't have a pure vegan diet, but there are nutritional reasons why it is not perfect. And to call the consumption of animal products unethical is based not on science but a theological argument. You are allowed to have such views, but use them only to guide your actions, not judge the rest of us.
