I was speaking to a guy that looks after an ancient forest and he was explaining the fungi that allow the trees to communicate and it was fascinating but I thought he might be pulling my leg, so I came home and read everything, it's fascinating.

Being forced to risk your life for something you don't believe in won't create a feeling of unity.

You're comparing people who strip rights from women and minorities to people who believe in equality and trying to say they're both as bad as each other. This is only true if you believe that some members of society should be treated badly at least a bit.

It's a bizarre take.

Israeli civilians being killed is a war crime though? Double standards much?

The government of China are not good people... is that controversial?

I have a friend who used to volunteer in Palestine. One of his jobs dealt with evictions. Basically if you're a person anywhere in the world and you can go through historical documents and find a suggestion that your ancestors may have owned property in a certain place you can present that to Israel and they give the current residents, many who have owned their houses for multiple generations, some of whom have records of their relatives buying the land from the first family, 24 hours to leave.

There are troops of volunteers who will come down with a moving van and help you load your entire life in because there's nothing else you can do.

It's criminal.

Absolutely. Top sprinters have a whole different kind of muscle structure to the average person. I can train 24/7 for the rest of my life and I'm never going to develop a whole different muscle structure.

As a short person I could never be the best basketballer, and with shorter legs I'll never be a hurdler.

Sport is always a good percentage "what you're born with".

Nobody is saying you can't. Read the article.

It's somewhat misleading to call one side of a war a 'terrorist organisation' though. That's not really how war works.

Not being able to spend summer in the Algarve and being brutally murdered is totally the same thing.

And he's doing that by genociding the entire population... that's totally morally normal

The couple knew these women. They had these women to their houses. Danny wasn't raping strangers in dark alleyways, he was raping partners when they said no. Chrissie was with him for 6 years.

After hearing the evidence. After him being convicted. They both wrote statements saying he was a great guy.

It's clear that she did something awful, but she doesn't deserve a greater punishment than other people convicted of the same crime, I think that's the point being made here.
