> Trying to reduce the war down to any one side is, IMHO, wrong and suspect. Exactly. Just look at how many times Allied victory in WWII in Europe is reduced to D-Day. It's highly wrong and suspicious.

Stalingrad was the decisive turn of fate during WWII, if the allies had lost it, the Axis would probably take over the all of Europe. Sure, a lot of men were sacrificed, but this was total war, those sacrifices saved tens of millions. We li

I find it interesting that for some people, even when woman get favoured and men get the short end of the stick, they still find a way to paint the situation as sexism againt woman.

Democracy? I think you mean Capitalism. The two things, although usually existing together, are not the same thing.

Because you know that what you see in NYT and NN voices mainly the opinion of their editor/journalists, while Twitter can give you the illusion that the opinions you see reaching consensus there, come from your peers.

Sincerely, I got an admonition and flag from you for calling out 2 different recent accounts, created at the same time, with very similar names that all they did was to defend China's autocratic government. https://news.ycom

You are right, there are only an handful of dishes using old goat meat. I was under the impression (my personal take) that there are quite a few different ways to prepare them though, although the end result (the dish itself) is similar.

This is the comment made some days ago in the news about meat and CO2 emissions. This idea that animals just eat the produce of intensive farming (or that grazing pastures are planted by men specifically for that purpose) is wrong in many p

Does this mean we will finally be able to easily and quickly, hack that pesky people forcing us all to listen to their Bluetooth speakers (invariably with bad music) on public transports?

Do you apply the same logic to LGBT content that is complaining about getting demonetized?

by wtdata 7y ago
Oh, they normally are, it's just that it's suspicious, that so many of them are being created with the single purpose of participating in a thread, that talks no less than about China's disinformation machine.

Here we go again... Seriously, it's not difficult to understand that any majorly autocratic government, left or right, needs a centralized government by definition. That is got nothing to do with being left or right, but with being lib

That's a very biased take on what happened in France. The protesters were burning cars and destroying public and private property to vast extents, besides throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. The yellow vests went way, way beyond

You do realize that personal gun ownership was always banned in the UK, like, since ever, right? That "statistic" you just tried to pass about how knife attacks increased when the UK banned guns, was completely made up.
