Nah, it's owned by the government. It's the government that decides whether they want to sell the land and it's the government that gets the money if they do so. Don't know how that could be defined as "owned by the King".

I guess people like to write articles that get shared on Facebook about the King owning 6 billion acres of land around the world or whatever, but the King doesn't actually own the land in any reasonable understanding of the concept of ownership.

You have no real answer so you hit up a thesaurus to try to come up with an insult that would make you sound clever.

“We take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be” is a totally empty slogan. Who do you think isn’t dealing with the world as they think it is? You think people who disagree are all just going around in willful fantasy?

People that choose to believe that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program just because they hate Israel and will believe anything that anyone that opposes Israel says. It's insane really... if they had no nuclear weapons program, why would they be opposed to the IAEA doing inspections?

Hard not to be condescending when talking to people that hang on to willful ignorance in the face of science and basic logic. I've had a lot of discussions with various groups, this is the same as the "plandemic" crowd. What do you say to people that refuse to learn science, have huge gaps in their logic, and default to "alternative facts" from dodgy websites whenever discussing anything?

They have made it clear they do not want weapons.

Yes they've SAID that, but do you make it a habit to believe what authoritarians say?

You NEED purified and enriched uranium (to a point) for fuel grade stuff,

No civilian reactor needs uranium purified to more than 5%. They've purified uranium to 60%. Also the uranium they import from Russia is already purified to the level needed by their one civilian nuclear reactor. Any uranium purification happening in Iran is for a nuclear weapons program.

I hate Trump and Netanyahu too, but if they say the sky is blue, do you automatically have to agree with someone that says the sky is green?

The states purpose of this is that after 1979 Israel wanted Iran to be a failed stated like they did to Iraq and Syria.

Yeah no shit. Just as Iran wants Israel to be a failed state. That's how shit works with adversaries.

Isn't it a fake leftist strategy is to argue against voting for anyone that wants to tax billionaires.

Blame it on the rain...

If you want to get technical, how would they even be able to breathe? Wouldn't the air near them not move anywhere and they'd suffocate? How are they moving through air that's in a different state of time?

Eh... whatever, a Q did it.

Seems more judgemental than angry to me.

Having separate interfaces for user settings and system settings makes sense for companies that prevent users from changing system settings.

The Start Menu shit... probably just a strategy to get people to use bing.

Or more likely just continue to use Windows 10 when it's no longer supported.

Microsoft is squeezing everyone with EOL shenanigans. If it becomes commonplace to continue using software when it's no longer supported, this strategy no longer works.

The truth isn't something you get from "evaluating" a bunch of "alt-media" websites. That's just doing the "I did my own research on the internet".

Nuclear physics is science. Iran's uranium purification project is not for civilian use, it's a nuclear weapons program. Denying this is like denying the world is flat because you choose to ignore science because you want to go along with your political allies.

The truth isn't convenient, it's not always going to conform to what your politcal group says.

This is Trumpian logic. We don't do X, but if we do X it's because of our enemies.

Stated intentions are meaningless, because everyone is lying. The fact that they are purifying uranium is what matters, not what they say.

 

Of course it's just a cartoon. In reality, Sideshow Bob wouldn't be arrested at the end.

 

Protest swiftly condemned by all levels of government; organizing group denies hospital targeted

Toronto police say they are increasing their presence along hospital row after a pro-Palestinian protest downtown on Monday night, including outside Mount Sinai Hospital.

Toronto Police Service spokesperson Stephanie Sayer told CBC News the increased police presence is to ensure that essential hospital services and emergency routes remain accessible.

"Interfering with the operations of a hospital is not acceptable," Sayer wrote in an email.

Police have not said if the hospital's operations were impacted by the protest. The hospital has not responded to CBC News's request for comment.

"The Toronto Police Service is investigating several incidents that occurred in front of Mount Sinai Hospital and along the demonstration route. As we have said before, officers use their discretion during large crowd demonstrations and even if arrests are not deemed safe to make at the time, investigations will continue and charges can be laid at a later date," Sayer said.

 

GENEVA, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday it had opened an investigation into several employees suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel by Hamas and that it had severed ties with those staff members. "The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7," said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General.

"To protect the agency's ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay."

Lazzarini did not disclose the number of employees allegedly involved in the attacks, nor the nature of their alleged involvement. He said, however, that "any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror" would be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.

 

I'm going to the game tomorrow and I want my Jose Bautista bobblehead!

Does anyone know how long before the game you have to be at the Skydome before they run out of bobble heads?
