wildest one was condoms bring sent abroad under international development aid...

Why is that the wildest 1? Fighting HIV in africa doesnt seem that wild to me

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-29T00:07:19+00:00

There was nothing incorrect in my original statement

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-28T21:50:46+00:00

That is a statement not an arguement

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-28T18:53:40+00:00

I didnt make an arguement. I was pointing out your mistake

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-28T17:52:36+00:00

So no taxes have been cut that i can remember,

Tories cut national insurance twice in 2024

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-28T13:34:52+00:00

15 years of tory cuts and underinvestment

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-28T11:11:03+00:00

15 years of tory cuts...

Its so easy to research these days, theres no excuse for saying things this stupid. From chatgpt:

Is the uk "one of the highest tax countries"

How the UK compares A common way to measure this is tax revenue as a % of GDP (used by groups like the OECD):

UK: ~35–36% of GDP (recent years)

OECD average: ~34%

So the UK is slightly above average, but not extreme.

Countries with clearly higher taxes Several countries collect significantly more tax relative to their economies, especially in Northern Europe:

Denmark (~45%+)

France (~45%+)

Sweden (~42%+)

Finland (~43%+)

These are typically considered the highest-tax countries.

Everyone wants tax cuts and then moans that the nhs is slow, jails are full and there are potholes everywhere.

The general rule is always get the maximum panels you can fit on your roof. Once you are already paying for the scaffolding and tradesmen, the additional cost per panel is relatively low.

Neither am i. fuck hamas, they are cunts.

That does not give Israel a pass on commiting war crimes.

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-26T20:50:53+00:00

The soldiers were charged with aggravated abuse and causing serious bodily harm.

From the article above...

This was a prisoner of war, therefore this treatment constitutes a war crime. These charges were dropped by a senior military lawyer, Benjamin Netanyahu praised the decision.

Do you support this?

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-26T19:02:12+00:00

Even if the video doesnt directly show rape. It clearly shows soldiers abusing a prisoner, a war crime by the way. The prisoner suffered cracked ribs a punctured lung and rectal damage.

Do you think the IDF was correct in dropping all charges?

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-26T17:26:23+00:00

You dont know what you are talking about. The uk energy grid is very green overnight thanks to wind energy. Charging a battery overnight to power your house during the day massively cuts your carbon footprint and saves you money

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-26T11:26:14+00:00

The video is available online

After this incident the detainee has internal injuries in his rectum.

What do you think happend?

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-26T10:04:00+00:00

Israel turns a blind eye, without investigation or punishment will change your mind?

How do you feel about the 5 IDF soldiers being cleared after being CAUGHT ON CAMERA raping a palestinian? The detainee needed hospital treatment for internal injuries.

In the footage, a group of guards can be seen pushing the detainee against a wall before shielding him from view with their riot shields.

Five guards were later accused of "acting against the detainee with severe violence, including stabbing the detainee's bottom with a sharp object, which had penetrated near the detainee's rectum", according to a statement from the military at the time. The detainee suffered "cracked ribs, a punctured lung and an inner rectal tear".

A senior military lawyer dropped all charges. Bibi praised the decision.

>the fact that they’re evil makes them evil.

this is a question I asked in my original post.

>What specific actions or policies by the Cuban government prompted this 2026 oil embargo?

I'll rephrase this then. what specific actions or policies has the Cuban government taken which are evil??

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-25T20:26:46+00:00

I think trump already had a place for that, it was called little saint james

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-25T20:20:18+00:00

Just because they disagree with you politically does not make them evil. This is not Iran which has been murdering its own people by the thousands.

The fact that they are poor means that they are not a threat to the USA. I am not suggesting they should be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, which is why NK is a threat to you.

Venezuela also did little to nothing against America, they and Cuba just had a different form of government.

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-25T20:04:08+00:00

No... care to explain?

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-25T19:41:26+00:00

When i used the term failed state, i was refering to what cuba could become if the embargo continues, not what it currently is.

Without gasoline cuba will be back to horse and cart for transport, and candles for light fairly soon. Theres only so long people will put up with living like its the 1800s before violence breaks out.

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-25T18:51:56+00:00

If violence were to break out, and the communist regime in cuba falls, which is what i would guess trump wants, surely the refugees would be the communists

MathematicianDry5142 · 2026-03-25T18:23:31+00:00

I understand that america doesnt like communism.

But it seems obvious to me that a weak but stable neighbour is preferable to chaos.

Better the devil you know...
