That’s actuslly an interesting point, and I do appreciate you bringing it up.

My take is that they, the Palestinians in Gaza, should do whatever in their power to break down Hamas from inside, and show that they are strongly against these terrorists.

They should not revolt against Hamas as their leaders, since you showed they are not (even though I’m under the belief that they are, de facto), but they should revolt against Hamas residing inside of Gaza, and using the territory as a base for their terrorist operations.

There’s an action, and a reaction.

By not revolting against Hamas, they are actively supporting them.

You’re either with our against the terrorists. There’s no in-between.

People in gaza elected Hamas themselves. You are either with or against terrorism. There’s no in between.

They shot down innocent festival goers. Young people. Killed and raped, and driven around in the back of a truck for display. They even took elderly women hostages.

This is not acceptable, in any sort of way. Never.

I understand you. Also, I left you no downvotes in our entire discussion. Thanks for doing the same to me.

People are very trigger-happy when it comes to comments on here. You basically lose the second you post something controversial.

I think you need to look at the russian army as a unit in this, instead of the individuals like the general.

The leaders, commanders, and soldiers would be the “guy strapped on rails” in my example.

Again, I do not condone killing of anyone either. Could this be solved diplomatically it would obviously be best. But at the same time, history has shown what happens if we do not take a stance, and end the problem at the root. Last time it was just a crazy guy from the other side of the fence.

Also;

• Killing is bad
• Some people still kill despite of this

What would be your solution to stopping these people?

Remember that we’re not just talking some schizophrenic with a kitchen knife, but rather a select few with the combined powers of peak human accomplishments.

I guess it’s sorta like the drawing of a train, full of passengers, driving towards a pit. You can change the track, but on the other one lies a man strapped down.

Do you kill 1 person, to help save 10 others?

It’s a barbaric thought experiment, sure. I’m a pacifist as well, but I can see how a murder would be for the greater good.

This is the kind of shit I read when I’m sat here, at the loo, only to forget completely until a reference comes up 3 years later in a social gathering…

This is useless knowledge. But its quite interesting.

Thanks for posting.

No, you have misunderstood what the rule is about.

You’re not allowed to link to pirated content, such as a download link to the Barbie movie.

But you’re free to link to places that discuss the Barbie movie, places that discuss where to watch the Barbie movie, and places that teaches you how you can rip the Barbie movie yourself.

The only things you cannot link to, are direct links to pirated content

I think you misunderstood the rule about not linking to pirated content.

I know it’s been a while, and you probably forgot about this message even, but what you just wrote is the exact reason why I’m here. I couldn’t have said it any better myself - bravo!

It’s been a while coming, but I’m finally moving all of my activity over to your instance. You seem to have a very good take on the entire federation process, and I’m really happy to read stuff like “I will personally block it but not on an instance level.”

There are shitty people everywhere. Fortunately it’s quite easy just to not engage with them.

Thank you once again for setting up unilem. I hope it will survive for many years to come.
