Well of course the IDF are consistently and indiscriminately killing civilians.

Is the Middle East a school playground?
What matters is, how does it end. If the terrorists on both sides have their way, it’ll end when everyone is dead.
For the record, I consider the IDF, directed by Netanyahu and his far right coalition, to be a terrorist organisation at this point, every...
Maybe as an American, you genuinely don’t realise the extent of human suffering in the Middle East, because your nation’s media isn’t reporting it to you. I’m going to give you and others the benefit of the doubt, and assume that’s why so many of you are able to try and justify the senseless...
It’s also a quote, from the first verse of John’s Gospel (itself a conscious echo of the opening verses of Genesis). But you don’t have to believe something in order to at least consider it.

Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolution, which he began to formulate whilst researching a course on Aristotle he was planning to teach at Harvard, does indeed challenge the received view that scientific progress is cumulative in a linear manner.

For the record, I am neither a monarchist, nor an apologist for imperialism. I am broadly sympathetic to the plight of indigenous peoples colonised by...
Perhaps you are right, but you have admitted on this thread that before today, this was a subject you knew nothing about. Given that you've already displayed your ignorance of the political relationship between the UK and Australia, and of the nature of constitutional monarchy in Europe, perhaps...
The 'London dude' didn't push anyone anywhere. She was removed from the Australian Parliament, by Australian officials, presumably for breach of protocol. Do you seriously believe, btw, that Australia is ruled from London, by the King?
Her use of political theatre got some publicity for her cause, which I imagine was the intent. Wether it was good publicity, and wether there is any other kind, I don’t know tbh.
Nothing about US politics makes sense to a European, so far as I can tell. I think it's part of their political culture that no one ever trusts the government. So it's not like Europe where we expect our governments to protect our interests, and turn against them if they don’t. Americans don't...
