Spain denies stopover of ship reportedly carrying arms to Israel
  • First of all, it's not a good look ending an anecdote about a terrorist attack with hahahaha's.

    Second, Spain ain't funding Hamas or Isis (which you for some reason bring up.)

    Third, we're not rooting for one side or the other to conquer the other. Most people believe arming people who murder civilians is a bad idea.

    Fourth, Israel is clearly murdering civilians and engaging in a plethora of war crimes. It's not odd that Spain doesn't want to be complicit. That shouldn't be difficult to grasp no matter if you root for one side, the other or just hoping for a peaceful end to this conflict

  • That one band...
  • After the pathetic loser killed 97 people in Norway, the vast majority were children, he had this to say.

    We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried shit every day.” So not only is he a racist cunt, he's a despicable piece of shit in other ways as well.

    Fuck Morrissey. Hope he gets remembered for the person he is, not the music he made

  • West Bank: Israel Defense Forces accused of possible war crime
  • Not to take away from a lot of the other despicable shit done by Israel's defence forces, but you have to be a special kind of awful to murder a child. Doesn't matter if you believe you're entitled to the land or whatnot. There's really no way to justify killing children. Only hope the people who are responsible for actions like these gain some sort of awareness and have to live the rest of their lives with what they've done.

  • Vatican calls gender fluidity and surrogacy threats to human dignity
  • And I think an organisation covering for pedophiles and murdering kids in their schools have no moral high ground and it is definitely unfit to lecture anyone on human dignity.

  • 'Oppenheimer' finally premieres in Japan to mixed reactions and high emotions
  • For Truman, news of the successful Trinity test set up a momentous choice: whether or not to deploy the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. But it also came as a relief, as it meant the United States wouldn’t have to rely on the increasingly adversarial Soviet Union to enter World War II against Japan.

    From https://www.history.com/news/hiroshima-nagasaki-bombing-wwii-cold-war

    By the morning of August 9, 1945, Soviet troops had invaded Manchuria and Sakhalin Island, but there was still no word from the Japanese government regarding surrender.

    From https://www.britannica.com/event/atomic-bombings-of-Hiroshima-and-Nagasaki/The-bombing-of-Nagasaki

    Moreover, regular incendiary bombing raids were destroying huge portions of one city after another, food and fuel were in short supply, and millions of civilians were homeless. General Curtis LeMay, the commander of American air forces in the Pacific, estimated that by the end of September he would have destroyed every target in Japan worth hitting. The argument that Japan would have collapsed by early fall is speculative but powerful.

    From https://www.britannica.com/topic/Trumans-decision-to-use-the-bomb-712569

    I don't know what Truman thought, but I do think saving US soldiers and avoiding The Soviet Union must have weighed in on the decision to nuke cities.

    I know history.com isn't that great of a source, but I have to go back to work.

  • 'Oppenheimer' finally premieres in Japan to mixed reactions and high emotions
  • Not trying to downplay what Japan did, but I don't think that's why they dropped the bombs. Russia was closing in and the US didn't seem keen on having to divide up Japan like they did in Europe. I'd say it's more likely civilian targets were bombed to put social pressure on the emperor and government to accept defeat.

    These bombs don't discriminate, so even put into context like you say, it's still not a good argument

  • Gym headphones

    Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don't do it for me.

    I keep getting this image when trying to open a link from dubz.co through football. Anyone got any tips on how to force it to open through Firefox instead?
