Genocide is a wider term. It covers killing people based on religion, country of origin, color of skin, size of nose, etc etc.

Ethnic cleansing is genocide but specifically done towards people of a specific ethnicity.

Do peoplr realize that whenever a north Korean speaks, even though you can’t see it, they have a gun to their head and the heads of all their family members…?

I’d take everything he says with a big grain of salt.

Thank you. I read through the article and it does indeed say that scientist think we could experience 10m sea level rise over the coming centuries.

I read a lot about this issue around 10 years ago but I can see that the scientific consensus has changed since then.

I’d like to see those sources. Sea level rise is sloooow!

No I did not gloss over that. I’m not sure how you could miss my point that much.

I think my example is entirely relevant. The reason I sometimes condone murder is when I don’t find it morally wrong, so obviously that’s also what the discussion is about.

You’re whole argument about not being able to condone a criminal act without having to change the laws makes very little sense to me.

Back when slaves were legal it was illegal to kill a slave owner. I understand that and I think that’s how it needed to be. You can’t have laws that killing someone is legal.

On the other hand I don’t morally condemn the slaves that rose up and actually did kill their “owners”.

I absolutely can say something should be illegal but in certain cases I’m cool with it happening.

I challenge you to find a single person arguing in favor of making murder legal. I’ve never seen or heard anyone do that.

I think it can be needed sometimes throughout history when the inequality between rich and poor becomes too great, that doesn’t mean I think it should be legal…

I know those models and am all for them. I’m Scandinavian so I’m not at all for eye for an eye type of justice.

The original comment I was replying to said something along the lines of “these people don’t understand justice”.

I was just pointing out that justice is a feeling more than anything else. You can point out that restorative justice is a better way for society to go and it works better for most individuals too but if someone says that they don’t feel like justice has been served you can’t say they’re wrong.

They just have a different opinion on what justice is.

I agree 100%, but I was never discussing what should be legal or illegal… Obviously any murder should be illegal. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that.

That doesn’t change my opinion that sometimes murder is needed to affect change and sometimes it’s even the morally right thing to do…

You honestly thought I was advocating for making murder legal?

What does flat earth has to do with this? The shape of the earth is NOT an opinion. It’s a provable fact.

Justice is a feeling. It’s not a factual thing. You can’t scientifically deduce whether justice has been served or not in a specific case.

Some people think eye for an eye is justice, some have other ideas of what justice is.

How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?

Everyone above 14 knows how dangerous smoking is. Doesn’t make it less cool. Tbh it probably makes it more cool to most people.

This campaign is about as stupid as it gets.

It basically points out the only legit positive thing about smoking which is the fact that it looks cool.

Because smoking looks cool…

Very few people thinks smoking is uncool. It’s obviously a health risk but I think that’s part of the reason it’s seen as cool. It’s dangerous.

Just like riding a motorcycle, if there wasn’t any increased danger associated with it, it wouldn’t be cool.

Geopolitics is so nice and simple if you’re completely uninformed but just picks a tiny fraction of an issue and base your opinion around that…

You realize we’re helping Ukraine because it’s in our own best interest right?

People are acting like we do it out of our good hearted nature.

Also, we don’t get to speak for Ukraine just because we’re helping them. I’m tempted to say obviously but apparently it’s not that obvious.

What the US has a right to do is stop it’s support.
