  • There's actually very little original about Christianity. Almost all aspects of it had been around similar Middle Eastern religions.

    Council of Nicea just decided what the Bible is. Often based on nothing more than politics.

  • Yeah, look at the curves on that guy.

  • Nah, they still have a few tens of thousands of men in reserve. At this rate it'll be a few more years. They'll run out of modern tanks and air defence before they run out of men.

  • The hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die liberty will never perish.

  • Thank you for sharing this. I don't read much poetry, much less in German. But this kept me on the edge of my seat.

  • I'd say renovating properties rented by Charles for his private gain. I'd that is more than incidental. Also aren't those properties part of his private wealth and not the crown's?

  • The Finnish group that supports democracy in Russia is planning such a protest. Which is good. But too little too late.

    Although the fact that in this protest they used flags of the Russian president tells you who is actually behind it.

  • Some would say that the other party is not much better. Given their close ties to finance, industry and military. And the revolving doors associated with those.

  • If you are referring to Trump, it's far from a done deal.

    Though some would say that the US has been a fascist state for a while.

  • I beg to differ. Finland has conscription. And it is the backbone of Finnish defence. People here willingly perform their mandatory military service. You can get out of it if you want to*. But most don't. People trust that they won't end up in wars of conquest. It's in our constitution.

    Now with NATO there is an ongoing discussion about whether reservists can be sent out on NATO operations. It'll probably end up with calling for volunteers and then using reservists if there aren't enough volunteers.

    Conscription is a necessity for us. And we've done it "right" IMHO.

    *) You can perform "civil service" just by asking. But you can go to jail if you don't want to do even that. Or wear an ankle monitor for a while.

  • You get the right answer. But at the same time as everyone else.

  • Earth: I'll be cool if you stop putting so much CO2, methane and other pollutants in the atmosphere.

  • Bombing civilian targets, collective punishment, stealing land and earlier a slow moving genocide. Now if they block electricity, food and water from Gaza for an extended period it will a fast moving genocide. And I'm sure I've missed a few. There are no innocents in this conflict. Except for the dead civilians. On both sides.

  • Considering the war crimes done by both sides. Shouldn't they stop supporting either side?

  • In fact the modern post-WW2 era is about as good as it gets. And that is indeed not much.

  • Considering the weak and precarious position of Benjamin Netanyahu. And the genocidal extremists that he represents. And his despotic ambitions. I know which one I'm betting on.
