    I've read what wasn't behind a paywall. If there's something of value in the rest then feel free to explain how it meets the recognised definition of genocide.

    They're fighting a war. Things break when wars happen.

    I know the definition of genocide, please tell me how sheltering civilians from combat and feeding them at your own cost qualifies as genocide.

    American politics

    They're being moved away from the danger areas of fighting and being fed by Israel's generosity. Again, if the aim if genocide, moving civilians away from combat areas and then feeding them is a really brick way to do it. If there are no hospitals left in Gaza, then the blame lies solely with...

    American politics

    If the aim is genocide then they're doing a fudging shoddy job of it. Almost all of the population of Gaza from before Oct 7th is still living in Gaza. You'd think with all those resources and military personnel, they'd have taken out at least half of them by now, wouldn't you?

    Would you fly on a Boeing 737 Max?

    All fixed wing aircraft work the same way. All multi pilot aircraft follow the same rules and procedures. The 787 has more switches and more passengers, but the basis of it remains the same across the board.

    The "Why" thread

    I've seen how often people fail to make rational decisions due to wasting time on/over-weighting the value of the emotional side of things. Why wouldn't the ability to just switch emotion and feeling on or off as required be an advantage?

    Well they taxed us more than any govt in post-war history (except the current one) so I'd say they were way too far to the left in economic terms.

    The "Why" thread

    Many people imagine evolution to be linear, like the branches on a tree. In fact, it's far more like the messy tangles on a bush. Not all beneficial characteristics are selected and not all undesirable ones are filtered. The timespan that modern humans have been around for is incredibly...

    Would you fly on a Boeing 737 Max?

    It's not clear which pilot said what, but I'd assume the politeness of "Why did you do that?" means it's the First Officer asking the Captain, rather than the "WTF did you do that for" that would probably have been the other way around. It's also very likely that the FO would have been the one...

    Agree with all of that except your last sentence. I believe sociopathy is the next stage in human evolution.

    People have been saying that since forever. Don't ever forget that in 20 years, these will be the "good old days" you nostalgically look back upon.

    Is what Farage is doing any different to what Starmer did? Promised the world that everyone with half a brain knew we couldn't afford. Promised to be a different to the last lot.

    Oh yes I can. Panto aside, if someone has just punched one of my female colleagues in the nose, I'd consider that an admirable level of restraint.

    Evolution, it's not that complex. In fact one can observe in animals with large birth rates and relatively high genetic defect rates. None of this requires a designer. In fact, much of it makes the concept of a designer less likely.

    So the agency that denied it was in court and investigated for its (lack of) actions. Great, that's how it should be. We should be seeing similar for all those northern councils, police forces and any senior govt minister that dismissed it - including the PM.
