According to what _Bentley_ posted it sounds as though there is a moral signal: some states that object to Israel consider it to be beneath their standards to participate in the Eurovision. This implies that those that do participate have

In a comment by _alphanerd_ in this subthread he points out that problematic states such as Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Australia are in the Eurovision. Maybe Israel's neighbors object to that? Or maybe they can't find bad enou

Exactly. You don't see them blowing up ten year old girls. It's the power of love.

Again you are responding to an argument which was explicitly and clearly not made. The comment you are replying to asserts that this is an illegal act of war. Everything only works by agreement and adherence to rules: some explicit, some c

I cannot see any comment in the immediate sub-thread making a distinction between explosives per se? Certainly to me I don't see the difference between explosives supplied in a missile produced with US tax-subsidies to arms profiteers

That's a good summary of the dangers of normalizing the actions that previously were the domain of only terrorists. The world works because most countries and people rejected amoral results-based reasoning and considered such actions i

I'd go further than that: the truth may be completely outside of the poles established by the stories concocted by involved parties.

That's right. Any evaluation or discussion of this needs to take account of the fact that it makes the perpetrator culpable of an illegal act of war in which the lives of innocent children are disregarded. There are all sorts of &quot

For context: In addition to supporting the idea of contact between America and Easter Island this is being presented as a rebuttal of the idea advanced in Jared Diamond's "Collapse" that there was a population crash.

Yes, you are articulating perfectly why the pampered, irrational and entitled Western middle-class are and will fail to meet any of the real world challenges we now face. Nothing will change except the climate and then the "husband and

We also raised a child without a car -- in North America. It is much more possible than most people claim. I have some sympathy towards people that are arguing about different cost/benefit calculations applying to poorer people in the

To be more precise: this simplified history suggests a shared "lineage" back to the original UNIXes of all of BSDs (and hence Darwin and OSX) and of the GNU/Linux and other OSes https://unix.stackexchange.com&#x2

Your statement seems very strong. Is Mac OS X not based on Darwin? Are you defining "lineage" in some way to only mean licensing and exclude the shared ideas (a kernel manipulating files)? Thanks for the "carcinisation&quo

Again, I'm not going to go searching the internet. Yet you imply that others should do exactly that in order to take seriously your insinuation that actual bodily harm was incurred. If you have proof that someone was physically damag

That's not what I asked. I am asking whether there is even any serious claim (as opposed to your simple assertion) that someone's hearing was damaged.

It was not tricky at all. CSIS (Canadian FBI equivalent) made it clear to concerned parties in government that there was no armed\violent threat[1], despite the official\reputable news media[2] claiming this repeatedly. As regards your wor
