Ah, yes. the famous Swiss dictatorship.

You wish. Your fireplace can barely tell your uncut wood is in there.

Of all the takes, this is the most technocit one.

Yeah. I realize that landmines have terrible consequences in times of peace. I also realize the Finns don’t want to lose territory to Russia (again). It just seems hypocritical to me to be against something when you have no use for it and then do an about face.

Thanks?

So, when we don’t need anti-personnel landmines, then they are bad, and other nations should not use them. When we do need them, their use becomes acceptable.

Is that about right?

Do any of them add rivets?

The UK voted to leave the EU because a slim majority wanted to kick out all the immigrants.

Writing that the royals paid someone to crash into this woman’s car with almost no details about the crash is misinformation. It easily spreads. We need to make social media more fact-based wherever it’s in our control.

If I were the bus driver and this were an accident, I’d be worried about what conspiracy wackaloons might do to get revenge. Andrew is a lot harder to touch than some middle class Australian bus driver.

If you didn’t like someone threatening a pizza restaurant, then you should be a bit more restrained about a story like this.

Already people are taking the lack of reporting of the crash even happening as evidence of a cover up.

It’s in poor taste to speculate about blame with very little information.

Not sure about the pic being questionable. Hard to look up local news about the incident without knowing the city where it happened. Searches with her name only call up versions of this story. If there were no school children on board it probably wouldn’t make the news otherwise.

There are crashes from 2024 and 2022 which involved children.

Looks like we just have to wait to see the story get fleshed out.

Edit: She lives in north Perth. There was a school bus crash reported on March 28 with no injuries. Other recent crashes seem to be other types of buses.

Second Edit: The BBC has also been looking into it and found no matching incidents (so far). Starting to seem like some info is twisted. Her spokesperson did not confirm the terminal diagnosis.

All this pedantism about century start dates, and everyone missed they could have called her a millennium baby but went for century instead.

That’s how they do it in civilized countries.

Not the case. I understand that the vast majority of Muslims have no desire to murder infidels or apostates. However, it would be ignorant to deny that there are extremist groups who use the religion to justify violence against Christians, Jews, Druze, Hindus, and other Muslim sect. Maybe their leaders are just using religion as a tool for their political aims, but probably some of them are ardent believers too.

What’s your personal stance on that?

Edit: Argh. I now know what it would feel like to be retweeted by Steve Bannon.

I was going to make a poor taste joke that obviously this is a lie by the IDF, since there seems to be a cadre of posters here who can’t accept that any bad behavior by a person in the name of Islam is [anything other than] just Western or Zionist propaganda.

I see others have beat me to the idea.

Edited after technocrit’s response because a re-read showed my meaning was reversed.
