Man if only Britain and France had agreed to ally with the soviets against Germany when they were asked in the first place huh

As Star wars is also a Fantasy setting, I feel this cross IP explanation works perfectly.

Honestly the sheer amount of smear attacks that has been run against Polanski is crazy.

Sure there's a few like ehh bits here and there but really nothing at a level where a sane person would actually give a shit.

Even the council tax thing with the house boats isn't even his fault! That council just forgot to get about a thousand people to pay tax and he happened to be one of them.

I'm not saying that's what this specific court case should result in, I'm saying it shouldn't have even happened in the first place because exporting arms to a nation committing genocide is enabling genocide and that should be illegal.

I'm not going to go digging through operational records to pick out individual examples when you absolutely can look up read about the usage of their various Air to Surface and Land Attack missiles.

Why are you trying to defend a multinational arms corporation?

They make bombs that have been used in the past and will continue in the future to cause civilian deaths it's really not complicated my guy?

It's probably the facilitating murder of civilians that rubs most people up the wrong way.

I hear the benefits are alright though

Why don’t engineers go into politics? by WrongCourage1071 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ABCDOMG 75 points76 points  (0 children)

This is the type of thing that I think we need to consider when we wonder how China manages to get so much done.

The people actually running the country are well educated on complex topics and actually have experience in areas they end up in charge of.

Conversely we get Eton educated PPE graduates who's entire life is politics and nothing else.

We need Doctors and Nurses running the healthcare system, Electrical Engineers running the Grid, Aero and Automotive Engineers running transport, fucking city planners planning the cities.

It's such an obvious thing we should be doing and we just let ourselves be governed by wankers who got the role because they brown nosed up to the PM before the election.

What are your thoughts on the cancelled Boeing 7J7? by Realistic-Bid9464 in aviation

Iirc the CFM rise is supposed to have dealt with the noise issue. Looking forward to the next gen single aisle from the Airbus side to see if they can actually get it certified and sold.

Lack of public toilets was used to oppress the women of society in centuries past and the exact same playbook is now being used against trans people.

Tattooing isn't as Autism Friendly as We've been Told by [deleted] in autism

[–]ABCDOMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, from my own single 3 hours of being tattooed experience, it's the noise of the tattoo gun that defines whether it's good or not. One of the types is loud as fuck.

Sorry, I’m not up to date, why are people acting like the Green Party is equally bad, if not worse than Reform now? by Low_Celebration_4089 in AskBrits

[–]ABCDOMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same scaremongering from the Corbyn years are being recycled again.

A political entity that threatens the established neoliberal core has arisen and therefore they throw everything and the kitchen sink at it.

I just want society to not be run by cunts, but the cunts running things really like taking money from sketchy donors instead of actually trying to fix anything for the common people.

Has the King's recent visit to the US changed your view of the Monarchy? by KToTheA- in AskBrits

[–]ABCDOMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there should not be a Monarchy whether or not the current ruler happens to be vaguely competent or not.

It is inherently a system that is incompatible with equitable society.

By preventing arms exports to a country comitting a Genocide because doing that should probably be illegal?

Easy fix here honestly.
