    There is a difference though, and that is that while babies tend to be in the vicinity of adults, that could potentially be terrorists, you cannot make the same assumption (if you were to actually be make it in the former case) about uniformed and distinctly marked UN-peacekeepers that have their own bases. Attacking that letter can not be collateral damage or be an attack on potential terrorists, while the former could with a lot of mental gymnastics be legitimised (though not morally justified).

    And let’s be real, international diplomacy is the art of mental gymnastics at olympic level.


  • I did watch it, although I had been warned. I figured the calls of it being a musical had to be inflated - they weren’t. If you cut the singing, you’ll have about half the runtime.

    That in and of itself isn’t even bad, albeit not my cup of tea. However what really annoyed me, was that NOTHING happened. It was basically a slice of psychic ward life story. One with an explosive but blue-balled ending. It was basically just the script writers trying to make Lady Gaga sing a lot - well a job well done I suppose.

    It actually annoys me a lot, because the cast was great and delivered exceptionally well in their acting. The premise and setting also had a lot of potential, but what we got was more of an art-house low-budget movie with great actors but terrible script


  • It can already not be stealing since that requires the stolen object to be in fact a physical (and a moveable one at that) object. Stealing non-physical property does constitute a crime, but it’s not stealing.

    Note: this is very specific to your country of origin and may not be true for your country or the applicable law in the case of international crime






  • I do not know what you’re reading or watching but the SZ for one has been reporting both sides quite frequently. I’ve just yesterday read an interview with a Palestinian-Israelian and a Jewish-Isrealian on the topic of how the West is still too hooked on the premise of two seperate states and that in their vision for peace a federal union with an unbiased and lawful constitution would be best.

    I do not know if I am too unconcerned of that particular conflict right now, but it does bug me that it seems that there is barely any voices in between on the internet and most public voices. You either have unconditional support for Israel or you have people calling Isreal genocidal and comparing the state to Nazi-Germany.

    How either of those sides wants to solve the issue is beyond me, if both sites keep their stance without even trying to debate on the problems (granted you have people in power on both sides of the conflict, willing to change, which I frankly don’t see at all) there will not be any solution for this. Because right now Israel will bomb its neighbours into oblivion while they are being played as puppets by Iran and other invested countries or you will have to dissolute Israel which the USA and Germany will not (and in the latter case cannot) allow. So much for advocating for peace on both sides.






  • Sadly it’s not US-only. Weather.com sued the German Federal weather service for having their app free of charge available on both app stores. The federal constitutional court ruled in weather.coms favour as the federal service infringes upon the constitutional right of property and business. It is now (rather the time I payed) 3,49€ one-time payment for having something as an app that is already being payed for my taxes. Meanwhile the danish weather service, whose I app I frequently use even though it is in Danish, is free due to their constitution being more lenient towards state services (or more socialist should I say to rile some people up)
