I don't think anyone is hoping for punishment. It's worth it to remind people what we're fighting for.

Zapp was right on one thing: people who are "neutral" on this war disgust me.

Hate crime (not hate speech) is an aggravating circumstance to a given crime (in this case, murder) that in many places carries a harsher sentence.

That this is a murder is obvious. That this may be part of some "retaliation" against Muslims is what makes this world news (though not in the Reddit/Lemmy sense).

What would help is not speaking in analogies and fables. Unless your people understand your code, then by all means...

"Wars and rumors of wars" is like "a day that ends in Y." It has never not been applicable.

The debate is on intent. If the cause was incompetence and bad policy, then it's not genocide. It is, however, criminal incompetence.

Also, unrelated to the argument, modern figures have it as fewer than 5 million deaths.

Talk about a test of principles for those doctors.

I just took a gander at the list as a refresher, and it is not 100% a war crime. You can argue this is an unjustified or excessive attack on civilians, but a judge may rule that is is required to defend against the enemy (Hamas).

Sorry to break it to you, we stopped using CFCs because a cheaper alternative came along. That it happened to be less suicidal was a happy coincidence.

I can't downvote without downvoting chihuahuas. My hands are tied. But you're right I've devoted over twice the effort I should have with this comment.

They still have Iran and North Korea. If that doesn't trigger "are we the baddies?" I don't think anything will.

You know, I'm tired of this one. Every insult being an insult to blank is getting too predictable here.

"which include a ban on selling tobacco to anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 2009"

I swear I remember a better example that's a perfect mirror for OP, but this is te best I found in 30 seconds.

‘We know India, [and we are] not surprised by Canadian allegations', says Pakistan.

"Zevulon the Great. He's teriyaki-style."

References aside, this is far from the most elaborate hoax of this sort. I look forward to this "amazing discovery" to fade away with no further fanfare, as usual.

This is more the shitty gun they bought to scare their neighbor. Also, their kids are skipping another meal.

If Uttar Pradesh seceded today, it would be the 4th or 5th most populated country on Earth. Considering all the other circumstances that is a lot of potential NSFL news articles.

There's a French poem I'm desperate to find again about a scientist trying to make an atomic bomb in service of France, but he can't get a blast over more than 2 meters.

He eventually figures the issue wasn't the yield, but targeting, so it concludes with our scientist detonating it in a small room among the politicians and generals he worked for.

I never considered it may have been a genuine accident until this quote.
