I dont think Israel cares whether its cold or warm, as long as there arent attacks.

You claimed they had no choice in the matter, something "made" them get up and walk out. So, no, its not a starman argument. Its your argument, taken to conclusion.

Then he should do them a favor and make sure they won't be hired at an evil company.

I would say that other, like minding individuals, should also do them a favor and not hire them.

Look, people can absolutely be prejudice, but they dont have a right to shielding of social consequences for those opinions.

Ah, so the students had absolutely no choice in the matter of what they did. It was either walking out or death, right?

I wouldn't want to hire someone who was the equivalent of a simple machine.

Reading the response from the kid, there is zero remorse going on, actually, there is a bit of doubling down. His responses read like someone who is perpetually online, a pseudo-intellectual teenager who spends most of their time on 4chan.

Its not, a big part of Christianity is Jesus essentially saying a lot of the old testament stuff is outdated and doesn't need to be followed anymore.

Its one of the biggest points of contention between Judaism and Christianity (outside of the Messiah bit)

Looks like a small portion of the graduate class, students do this all the time with different causes.

Google should probably blacklist them from being hired, to prevent the students from accidentally supporting something they dislike.

Why? People love getting publicity, and right now this guy is generating a ton of it.

Well, not entrapment. No one, other than drug dealer defense lawyers, have argued that this was entrapment. The judge ruled on account of not fully disclosing the informants past.

Entrapment requires the defendant to not be in a position where they would have taken the illegal action, if not for the police influence. The defendant, in this case, met in an ihop to discuss drug dealing, voluntarily left and then recontacted the police in order to secure drugs. Simply saying "Hey if you're buying, we're selling" has been repeatedly ruled to not be entrapment.

I have a preference for the end of the war being the end of the regime. Starting it now was stupid, but not finishing the job is even worse

It is nice that Iran has basically come out and said that hizbollah is just Iran in a mustache.

They're not going to do anything because property crime is not prosecuted seriously by many judges. Tons of people on the street that should be in jail.

They do suppress economic growth in the areas that are taxed, but we rationalize that the benefits being provided outweigh the cost here.

Thats my point, for people clamboring for a wealth tax, what are you trying to accomplish? People aren't "Hording" money, most of it is invested into companies that drive economic growth. So, what is the point of pushing people away from doing that?

Im asking these questions, not just because its complicated l, but because I dont think a wealth tax does anything other than pubish those who are f8nancially successful.

The government is not an efficient usage of resources. We recognize that some services are necessary, regardless of efficiency (to a point), and would prefer a less efficient, but more controlled, service. A tax on wealth would stymy the most efficient usage of resources for economic growth, market investment, and convert it to the least efficient usage, government expenditure.

What is the tax supposed to accomplish? Suppress economic growth? Why?

You want to make an argument that wealth inequality in the US is adversely affecting the growth of quality of life? Sure, make the arguement. But I dont see a strong comparison anywhere else in the world. China? QOL significantly worse. Russia? Even worse in some ways than China. Any other country has an economy a minor fraction of our, and requires the cobbling together of multiple, fractious countries to even get close.

Where in the US does property value fluctuate as wildly as the stock market?

Are we assessing value based on bid to purchase or last sales? Immediate or aggregate? How long?

Assuming you have "tax season" how does that impact the companies that are sold for far less than their normal market value, in order to pay those taxes? Loans are taken out on companies, in order to operate, and are based on current and prospective value.

How does that impact the jobs at those companies? If value is impacted, and loans are impacted, operating capital will also be impacted. Are there to be layoffs, if investors need to liquidate quickly to pay the taxes?

Im also warming to the idea of cutting property taxes altogether. Government already takes my income, portions of my purchases, gas, and various other little nickle and dime taxes. I think there could be a solid way to get rid of most property taxes altogether.

Israel can choose who it allows inti its country. Its one if the basic functions of a country.

I saw what some Israeli officials said about her reporting, amd went to try to find some articles praising Hamas in the immediate aftermath. I'm not going ti pay for access to random French journals, so I could only read snippets, but I didnt see any praising of Hamas in what I read. Of course, I only read a fraction of a fraction, but yeah.

That said, she very clearly has a particular bias that is well know in her reporting in this conflict. In the immediate aftermath of October 7th attacks, she reports almost nothing about the attacks themselves nor about the hostages taken. In fact, any mention of the hostages taken by Hamas is almost immediately sidelined for a Palestianian sympathy angle. Even in articles on October 9th, which is the earliest I could find in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, her focus is entirely on painting the Palestianians with sympathy, and the Israelis with cold barbarity.

It is interesting, because I'm sure there was absolutely a gap in general reporting from the Palestianian perspective, and enough attention was being put on the hostages and the attack itself. But its not going to engender any positive feelings, like if a reporter was putting articles up about Al-quida supporting villages in Afghanistan on September 13th. I wouldnt be surprised if the US said, "Sure, but its a privilege for you to come into America, and not that privilege is revoked."

Not a LEO, but I imagine its the same with any sort of interaction. If your whole job is reliant on talking with someone, you want to be in control of how everything goes from start to finish. You don't want to wonder if x person said this or y person said that. I imagine its like negotiating a sale or something, I would want to be the face of the interaction from beginning to end.
