The Danish media reported that it has the explosive potential of a first generation nuke.

How is that?

What a horrifying disaster.

Not sure I understand, who is being called names?

And sure, laws like these are always a compromise, with no objectively true answer.

Corrected.

The point of having an age of consent (in this case 16 in the UK) is not popularity, and not just parental awareness or protection from people in positions of power.

It’s a decision by society that kids below this age are incapable of grasping the full consequences of their consent.

Of course the limit is going to be somewhat arbitrary, and you can definitely argue that age of consent laws are bad without being a creep, but you’d have to argue that a 15 year old understands the ramifications of consent.

The UN is more a place to talk with your enemies than with your friends, and getting the chance to sit at a table with people you disagree with rather than fighting each other is great.

If there are any Palestinians left to disagree with.

What is this black magic?? How are these symbols a valid domain name???

Military response and operations to save the hostages is naturally justified, but that can be done without actively

• cutting off water, food and power supply
• bombing hospitals and apartment buildings full of civilians
• executing civilian families in the streets
• allowing members of parliament to call for eradication of the Gazan people without criticism
• trying to shut down any criticism of their extreme and indiscriminate violence by calling their opponents part of Hamas (South Africa, UNRWA)

That other countries would do it too does in no way make it morally justified, it just makes those countries monstrous as well.

Hamas are horrible terrorists. There, your first liberal pointing a finger at Hamas. Now, consider what the point of critique is. Will Hamas ever care about western criticism? No. Will Israel ever care? Maybe. They depend on Western support in their political and economic stability. Therefore continued scrutiny and criticism of Israel has a chance of actually making a difference.

They’re only seeking to make it illegal in front of embassies, not in general. For now at least.
