I have a very poor understanding of history and a very unsophisticated opinion on these issues. I don’t give a fuck about Jews but israelis are fucking assholes.
I find the “does Israel have a right to exist” question infuriating.
Through some complicated historic fuckery they do exist but if there’s anyone who really deserves to be wiped from existence its probably them.
Oh wow a right wing populist candidate who thinks the rules don’t apply to them.
Someone on our team for work lives in the Philippines and it’s no joke. Loads of storms and flooding. The data for rainfall / storm energy backs up the assessment that this year is gonna be wild.
It’s one of those things where some agencies count it as “average surface temp” over <several> weeks, while others count the average over <some bigger number of> weeks. So maybe Australia called it the biggest El Nino several weeks ago, but now some other country is able to agree because more weeks have elapsed.
I mean of course they would say that, but it’s pretty obvious the financial situation in the US is deteriorating.
Indeed. Americans have just been letting Trump fuck them
They don’t have to arrest people. Just being there will discourage loads of people from showing up.
There’s no “it”.
They’re working on a bunch of things. The swing against them needs to be too big to fake.
What does AOC and DSA have to do with Epstein ?
Ah yes, the hallmark of sophisticated management: everyone has to express an appropriate level of support for all decisions, especially bad ones.
Americans, now would be the time to spring into action.
On the contrary.
We are in agreement that what’s happening is not malice, but incompetence and greed.
Its nonsensical.
If the billionaire class wanted everyone dead they wouldn’t do it with measles
I have et said anything like that, and it’s painfully obvious that you’re deflecting.
Given your criticism of Wong, I had thought that surely you would have some preferred strategy.
Instead it seems like you don’t really have e any idea what you’re talking about, other than “labor bad”
That’s not what I suggested, nor what I asked.
How would you like our foreign affairs minister to address this with a global super power on whom we are heavily dependent as one of our closest allies ?
I thought so. No answers just criticism because she didn’t show up with a “Free Palestine” shirt.
I wonder how the foreign affairs minister from a liberal, national oor ON government would handle this?
LOL.
It’s the way I say it is because reasons and any contrary information is a fabrication.
Indeed.
I don’t get the hate for Wong?
I understand that labor is not left enough for fediverse users.
She’s a diplomat though, she represents Australia to the world. It’s not her job to say mean things to the people you don’t like.
That’s what diplomats do?
Yes, but what the law says and what is going on in practice are often (or usually) two different things.
In your own example, a forensic psychiatrist might have interrogated you when you were 17 and concluded that you were of sound mind and had the requisite emotional and logical faculty to “consent” in every reasonable definition of the term.
However, the law says that your consent in this case has no legal baring. This is not to undermine your own agency as a 17 year old, but to protect those 17 year olds who were not as well developed as you, or who might be manipulated some how, and so on.
The trade-off is that there usually has to be a complainant. In your own example you or your parents would (in most jurisdictions), need to ask the police to press charges.
Of course, the age of consent varies between jurisdictions. Here I think it’s 16. I went to school with someone who got married when she was 16 because she had become pregnant when she was 15. I didn’t realise at the time how messed up that was.
I’m reminded of the fascinating and macabre history of Pitcairn Island. The abridged version is that in the 1700’s (?) a sailing ship named the Bounty visited Tahiti for several months where many of the crew became involved with Tahitian ladies. Rather than return to their lives they mutinied, and absconded to an uninhabited island with their brides. Much violence and depravity, and later fanatical religious stuff ensued, but ultimately a tiny community of several dozen people survived to the 1990’s. At that time it emerged that underage sex / rape was a common and even celebrated practice. It’s a truly incredible story for a variety of reasons.
