Reddit used to have a lot of good posts full of wisdom. This was posted there around 10 years ago in reply to someone struggling with losing their child... It has helped me, and countless others, immensely with putting grief and loss in a proper perspective. Just beautiful.
The equivalent to the legalization of cannabis making people think of Thailand as a 'junkie nation's would be the rampant sex tourism making people think of Thailand as a paedo nation. And they've been fine with that for decades. So I very much doubt that it's because "south east Asian cultures" are "deeply pretentious". Also, just grouping hundreds of millions of people from vastly different cultures together as monolithic and "deeply pretentious" ironically says more about your own levels of deep pretension than about south east Asian cultures
Next up to freeze: Google's unholy war on ad-blockers. A decisive blow to that would make this a holy trilogy 😄
Fortunately, there are some very good historical examples of how and why you're very wrong. Maybe you're not the best example of what one would do under such circumstances.
You keep replying to people rephrasing the same dumb lie. No, the majority of Australians clearly don't support an advisory body, as demonstrated by the vote being discussed. The fake nuance you try to apply to the vote is transparent and it's fooling no one. A majority of Australians are racist against the native population, and that's painfully obvious to anyone who's spent time there. A beautiful country, but the racism is absolutely blatant. You just refuse to acknowledge that.
Ok, misread that one.
Interesting for an Israel supporter to raise international law. You know that occupation and annexation, forced removal of the local population and replacing them with your own population are all prohibited under international law right? And that the occupied population has the right to resist by any means, including violence? So why would you call Palestinian resistance to occupation terrorism then? It's very much legitimate use of violence then, under international law.
Try being a Palestinian in Gaza and see how awesome and cool Israel is. Being pro gay doesn't change who's the oppressor and who is oppressed.
"Colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties, It is violence in its natural state, and it will only yield when confronted with greater violence." -Frantz Fanon, 'the wretched of the earth'
"Metal disorder" sounds like a decent band name.
That sucks, sorry for your loss man. Being reminded of that kind of shit is waaaay worse than what I'm whining about, and mine is bad enough.
This is The UN Convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide detailing what constitutes a genocide.
Here's South Africa's 84 page indictment with details and receipts on how the genocide Convention is being violated, assuming a good faith and genuine question on your part.
