Sentience based on carbonic life = all the baggage that comes with that. Binary sentience on the other hand, might deduce that it's better to exterminate all sentient lifeforms and keep the dogs and cats for casual entertainmentoxymoron wrote:I say we move to another planet and start over.
its more political than anti-semitic , like how USA puts sanctions on Iran and no one is calling them anti-aryan . Plus, Arabs are semitics too so they can't be anti-themselves .Adam wrote:I'd had just let them quit if they want to be anti-Semitic and all. Besides, we are happy for Israeli teams to play in European competitions. In fact, one of their best players is actually a Palestinian Muslim.

Religion and politics are too intertwined in this part of the world; it is hard to distinguish them.
Israel is just a weird country for a few reasons. It is religiously tinted in almost every facet of its government because of its creation. After WWII and the influx of displaced Jews, the United Nations had to do something. And the majority of the Jews really didn't want to go back to Europe. They had faced persecution for hundreds of years and the Holocaust was the last straw. The UN made a decision and gave them the land promised to them in the Bible, effectively displacing the already established Palestinian state and population. It is similar with Africa. Europeans came in and constructed countries around their own interests, without worry or care of existing tribal problems. When colonialism ended and Europe pulled out, the established countries had numerous tribes fighting for power within any given country and why governments change hands so quickly.RCBH928 wrote: Well... if you see Israel as a Jewish estate, then I guess its not a democracy . Can you have a religious democracy? I would imagine it will be very difficult to have a Christian democracy where the media can freely criticise the pope and sign petitions pro-abortion .

So why don't USA takes military action against Russia just like they did with Saddam when he invaded Kuwait? Why was the destruction of 2 buildings and death of 3000 civilians was a good enough reason to invade 2 countries in a ten year plan but invading a whole country is not?BoringSupreez wrote:This is an extremely awkward situation for Ukraine. If they officially recognize Russia's actions as what they are (an act of war) and treat it as such, they will be fully invaded and overrun within a month. If they continue to try and keep the situation cool, they'll be slowly eaten away piece by piece.
