161·2 months agoPlease understand you live in a different reality to the rest of us, one where “Emiratis” had spent 70 years have their land and lives stolen before being “denazified”, one where Saudi Arabia is a model to aspire to and definitely don’t use violence to pursue their aims, one where Palestinians were somehow radicalised by anything other than the actions of Israel and Zionism.
Yeah it’ll all blow over eventually once “Hamas” is gone.
If you’re from the UK I’m guessing you’re under 30 right?
Britain’s cycle of exterminating Irish nationalists every generation and being surprised when the next generation hates you too would be familiar otherwise.
I don’t know if you get this, but the Netherlands and
AustraliaBritain are different societies. Who do you think is lying?
Do you think all these people work for Mr Olympic or something? What don’t you get?
2·2 months agoUh, yeah. And there’s absolutely no soft g sound in what he says. The word clearly ends in a hard sound.
Unless you hear him pronouncing it with a hard G, I don’t know how you can hear college. It ends with a hard sound (voiced plosvie).
To me it actually sounds like co-ed because there’s definitely a c/k at the start and d at the end, and a blustering moron’s mouth noises in the middle, but I don’t see how they get from that to college and I do see how you get from that to coloured. Why he wouldn’t own “co-ed” I don’t know because sounding like a behind the times old white dude is very much their brand
You remember how that story ends right?
Israel makes no such distinction. It offers citizenship based purely on religious affiliation. Is Benjamin Mileikowsky counted as Middle-Eastern because daddy went to university in the Middle East?
> when you don’t read to the end of the bible so you don’t know why the US really wants Israel to exist
As a vegetarian, aquarist and climate doomer, I want to point out your joke was pretty funny.
…It was a joke, right?
Excellent commitment to the bit. Well done
The first movie in the Child’s Play movie franchise they saw was the third iteration, Child’s Play 3; they were motivated to see it because it was banned, an ironic backfire of the censorship decision.
It’s the same with the protests. “Why is this taking so long”, not “why are we wiping out Palestinians”.
Weird comment from a non-league country
Did you just not read anything in my post? A nuke you can’t use isn’t a deterrent. It’s a risk to yourself.
Ukraine neither had control of those nuclear weapons, nor the ability to maintain them. It is probably for the best for humanity that they were removed. This is acknowledged by ICANW.
Sinead O’Connor was excommunicated from the Catholic Church for trying to become a priest, so no, she wasn’t Catholic. She died a Muslim, and probably would have preferred we called her Shuhada.
In reality she stopped being Catholic long before she ripped up a picture of the Pope. For more than 25 years she was Catholic only in a definition that would also include me - having been baptised as one. You seem to think lay Catholics have influence on the Church. They do not. Only in the form of donations, which practicing Catholics have never withheld. So I’m perfectly fine with the Church using those donations. Where else is it going to get money? Selling priceless artifacts?
The Catholic Church is being punished for its covering up of the abuse and moving priests around to give then fresh new hunting grounds when allegations were made in their old parish. It’s a systemic issue being punished at a systemic level.
You don’t actually just get to pay a little fine if you fuck a child.
Oh and ‘Church asked to pay’ is only in the headline because a very similar case happened in Ireland and a rogue minister on his last day agreed to have the government pay the fine which is the alternative- everyone, Catholic or not, asked to pay the fine.
Why would you feel better about the USA when the USA are who have fostered, enabled and defended these attitudes for 70 years now?
