Classic BBC, they say ‘abuse’ in this headline but rape when reporting on October 7.

Well you’re wrong, alcohol is a diuretic and a typical wine contains enough alcohol that you will lose water by drinking it.

Wine will dehydrate you faster because alcohol is a diuretic.

Also not true, people are starving largely due to logistics.

Moving a lot of food costs a lot of money and when you’re already giving it away for free the cost of transportation is ruinous.

No farmer wants to let the food they produce rot but none of them can afford to send it where it’s needed most.

I’m desperately hoping my country will wake up and join the EU in this initiative, which would make my job immensely easier.

Sure thing bud

The lies start early and fast.

@2:35 Claims that ‘blue’ areas have high crime: false https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-donald-trump-claims-crime-us-cities-democrat-republican-mayors-debunked-v2/a-73855054

The data and long-term research do not support the claim that Democrat-led cities are inherently more dangerous. Crime rates are influenced by a complex mix of socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural factors — not by a mayor’s political affiliation.

Despite declining crime rates, public perception often suggests the opposite. The Pew Research Center found that many Americans believe crime is rising — even when data show otherwise.

Between 1993 and 2022, violent crime in the US fell by 49%, including: Robbery: -74%, Aggravated Assault: -39%, and Murder/Non-negligent Manslaughter: -34%

Some rambling about Caesar. Completely irrelevant, followed by saying that ‘some’ slavery abolishionists were extremists. Great look showing off some white supremacists.

Then Scott Atlas goes on to claim that the left are the ones pushing violent rhetoric in the media, I could point to any day on Fox news or hundreds of comments by Trump to refute this easily.

Oh look someone else has done it already: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-violent-rhetoric-timeline/680403/

That’s enough wasting my time, its just two liars setting up questions for a gish gallop that will be lapped up by people incapable of critical thought.

Oh and for the record, defending slavery is political violence, and should be met with force at every opportunity.

The overwhelming majority of domestic terrorists are right wing, have a nice day.

Mass executions were even broadcast live on the radio as early as 1941.

This is somewhat misleading and I assume you’re being informed by the wikipedia article?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_of_the_Holocaust_in_Nazi_Germany_and_German-occupied_Europe

Berlin Radio broadcast the mass-execution of Jews in Białystok and the burning of synagogues in July 1941.

The reference cited is a scan of the JTA daily news bulletin 1941-07-18 in which it is stated

In reporting on the execution of Jews in Bilaystock by German soldiers, the Berlin radio stated that a search for arms was conducted by the invading troops in the burning synagogues “where large armament stores were found”.

This isn’t a direct source for the radio broadcast but we can surmise that a person living in Germany at the time, who heard that a search for weapons was conducted and persons executed as a result during war time, may have been misled by the context into believeing that either these executions were not widespread or unlawful.

Not to mention that not everyone would have heard the broadcast to begin with. Media is much more accessible today than it was in 1941.

You need to consider how a reasonable person may interpret such news and the way the news was delivered, propaganda was not (and still isn’t) well understood by the public.

The deportations left paper trails perfectly accessible to any interested member of the public

While there were paper trails these weren’t exactly being handed out to the public, and anyone asking too many questions would have faced suspicion as a spy, traitor, communist or Jewish sympathiser.

and forced labour from the camps became a common sight in public, and with it came the public beatings and summary executions at the hands of their SS overseers.

Executions were typically done out of sight of the general populace, especially at the start.

By painting everyone in Germany as complicit you’re ignoring the reality, that information can be controlled by a Government, that it can skew public perception with propaganda, and that people were often living in fear of their lives by the time they did find out.

I have the perfect test site in mind, an already toxic cesspit in Florida

Gmail passwords are in there because of reuse, though I did see many journalists muddying the waters on this.

Seems there were issues replicating the study.

If you’ve been in a monogamous relationship and he doesn’t agree to you seeing others then what you’re talking about is cheating and is not ethical.

The US military uses a lot of foreign made parts especially in modern aircraft, they’re just made in allied countries.

For example Australia produces parts for the F35.

While the pillion should know better it’s the riders choice to have them on the bike. I would hand over my own gear before putting someone else at risk like that.

No people don’t tend to think purely in approval or disapproval. Most of the time it’s more nuanced emotion, you might consider frustration a disapproving response to a conversation topic but it’s not always that clear cut.

People rarely think of others in these terms.

The sheer disregard for the pillions safety speaks volumes about that motorcyclist.

I am a deeply sceptical person and find any content about spiritualism, when not written in purely academic and observational terms, to be extremely frustrating and insulting.

I fully agree that the oral ‘histories’ and traditions of people should be recorded to further understanding of cultural evolution.

Beyond that I see no value in them. We know these stories aren’t true, so they have no value. They aren’t revealing the secrets of the universe, furthering medicine or exploring new avenues of philosophical thought.

That the ABC continues to push this spiritual garbage as somehow being valuable continues to annoy me.

The more they do it the more I want them defunded.
