Can't wait for Sweden and Denmark to charge Russia tolls in Öresund. I assume we wouldn't charge EU members, which only leaves Russia.

Fireworks apparently cancelled at SeaTac?

Fireworks are generally not allowed near airports, so getting a room at an airport hotel might be a good way to g give you and your pup some peace and quiet. Just a tip.

I did. It's the tl;dw.

Want something doesn’t make it a reality, how you actually stop the genocide? By Two-state solution? Solidifying Hamas government? Expulsing Israel off the region? Do you condemn Hamas? You can only actually answer this with knowledge of history and culture which you think is secondary.

All of those things can be sorted out by experts once the killings stop. I'm not going to stop advocating for the end of the killings just because there isn't a document on how the long term solution should look, because that's not important right now.

You said “well documented” ongoing violations of human rights in China...

Yes. They're executing prisoners. That goes against Article 3. I don't need to know why they do it, how or when. I don't need to know Chinese. I don't need to know the history or the culture to criticize them for violating Article 3. Do you want to tell me that capital punishment isn't a thing in China?

You only know the present fact(debatable), think the past history is not necessary and know nothing of its essentials, so… shut the fuck up.

I don't need to know the history or culture of someone about to murder someone to want to stop them. This seems to be too hard for you to grasp, so I'm done with you and your insults now. Have a lovely day.

Because I was been nice, I genuinely didn’t think someone would try to talk about a subject without having any knowledge about the people involved.

Oh yeah, so nice you told me to shut up and then tried to gaslight me. Ok. Who said anything about "without having any knowledge"? You don't need to be an expert on a subject to have an opinion. I'm not an expert on China, but I can still have and opinion on their human rights violations. And I do.

If you don’t know about the history of Israel and Palestine, shut the fuck up...

Again with the politeness... I know enough to want the killings to stop in Palestine, and again, nobody said anything about "...know nothing about the subject". To me it's not complicated. If you're committing human rights violations, you're in the wrong and you need to stop, because the ends do not justify the means. Who made you the gatekeeper? You sure you have the full picture and isn't just manipulated and on the wrong side of history?

Again, very civil of you. Your mother must be very proud. I told you I knew very little about Chinese culture but still objected to their human rights violations, to which you responded "...shut the fuck up...", and now you want to pretend that it was a hypothetical. Ok then.

When did I criticize people trying to stop Israels genocide? I'm again, and always, on the side of human rights, and the Palestinian people have their rights violated on a daily basis. I'm saying I don't need to know exactly who did what to whom and when to want the killings to stop. I don't know why you object to that.

I have never, nor will I ever, excuse the genocide in Palestine/Gaza. Israel needs to stop killing Palestinians yesterday, no matter what.

I know that you responded to me with insults, which is not only rude but also in violation of one of the rules of the channel.

That said, I don't need to be an expert in any country's culture or history to criticize them when they violate basic human rights. I didn't think that was controversial, but aparently it is, at least to some.

I don't think there is such a thing as "Chinese human rights". There are only human rights, and China (Chinese government) is violating them. While I agree that parts of the west (US) has taken steps in the wrong direction, saying that China is doing "much better on human rights" is wild, or in other words, completely bonkers.

I will defend Muslims and their human rights every day of the week, even though I detest religion because I believe that human rights are just that, rights.

Thanks for the respectful response. Always nice to talk to someone who knows how to behave themselves and treat strangers well.

Sure, lying isn't adding to anyone's credibility, but let's say I claim to next to nothing about the previously mentioned Chinese culture or history, but know a lot about human rights? I don't have to be an expert on China to know that their actions on human rights are terrible.
