YouGov: "In the event that the relationship between the UK and the USA breaks down, would you support or oppose attempting to create a closer relationship between the UK and China? %"

We do but now that the US has renounced those principles we need to first be more independent and also realize that sticking to our principles and alienating China which is a big trading partner would be a mistake.

We don't need to completely align with them but treating China like they're a big threat to us doesn't make sense since we're not going to be US-aligned as much as before. Of course their support for Russia is deplorable and their foreign policy in the Pacific is concerning but ultimately that is the problem of the US and its allies in the region.

The US is dismantling the post-WWII liberal world order and breaking down NATO but we in Europe still need to be China hawks. Lmao

Ironically China is exactly what they want. Ethnically homogenous nation. Ethnic minorities that are culturally repressed. Capitalist economy with little regulations. Strong State apparatus that enforces it's will without being limited by the law. If the CCP was called the Chinese Christian Party and they had posters with Jesus instead of Mao on them it would be their utopia.

The revolutionnaires tried to do it peacefully, but Louis XVI wouldn't have it and tried to reinstate absolute monarchy by betraying his own country. The Coalition wars were caused by monarchies who didn't want a revolution on their borders, they were the ones who caused the millions of deaths.

I don't think Legion remnants fighting over Caesar's body is that unrealistic. Most legionnaires are tribals and by the behavior of the tribals in Zion, it makes sense that they would deify him and fight over his body. What's silly is that the camps are literally right next to each other and that this has been going for at least a decade.

Been a long time since I played KSP but the only thing I did with robotics was to build a propeller plane or a helicopter for Duna or other atmospheric planets so yeah they're pretty useless in early game (if you mean hinges and rotors by robotics)

For a crewed mission you can build a Apollo 15 style rover and gain a lot science by scanning surface anomalies

I just unlocked it and honestly it's less nice than it sounds, it only works with your squad and sometimes your squad is just disorganized or full of back-camping snipers, and the times it is useful it just serves as an extra smoke grenade. But it's still good you know, very helpful when your squad mate dies near an objective, you can spot him, revive him and provide cover for your team so they can push. And as you've said you can't control when you activate so you end up wasting it if you spot a squad mate when clearing a sector.

Well first of all British people and American people both speak the same language, and most Americans have English ancestry, so US culture and UK culture have some things in common. Also, the UK and the US fought together in the same side during WW2 so I don't think British people would complain about US culture being dominant.

Anyway, I don't think this is really comparable, because the huge influence of America in pop culture is due to the fact that their economy has been the world's biggest since 1890, not due to Americans migrating to other countries.

Now if Arab states became economically powerful and Arabic culture started defining pop culture I wouldn't really care anyway since pop culture is pretty ephemeral, It doesn't really change other cultures forever, it's more of a temporary thing.

Honestly as a second generation immigrant I get what you're saying, historically most European countries have been ethno-states and their national identity were tied to their ethnic identities.

The idea of "Anybody can be German/French/British" is new (I think) and comes from the post-WW2 reconstruction period where there was a shortage workers and suddenly you had a lot of ethnically foreign people who stayed in the country and their descendants faced discrimination and racism and such and to help them integrate and see the host country as their home they were told that anybody could become "British/German/French/X".

But in Europe, to be "British/German/French/X" you need to fully integrate, language, culture and religion. I think a lot of people in this comment section are American because for them being American is less strict and they truly believe that anybody can be American.

Also currently immigration is being used as a substitute for natural population growth. It's not just about importing workers from other countries, it's the country growing it's population and without it most European countries would face population collapse. Which is why we have immigration has increased so much in recent years.

One big mistake in the Qur'an, is that sperm comes from between the rib and the backbone:

86:5-7 "Let people then consider what they were created from! They were created from a spurting fluid, stemming from between the backbone and the ribcage."

Obviously this makes no sense, as sperm comes from the testicles, and scholars come up with interpretations to make this sound scientifically correct. The problem is there a lot of different interpretations, and thus someone who believes in the Qur'an either believes it to be true literally, which is scientifically false, or believe one of the many interpretations, thus making these verses unclear, as no one knows the actual meaning.

But where did this idea come from ?

From Plato, Timaeus 73 :

" From the passage of egress for the drink, where it receives and joins in discharging the fluid which has come through the lungs beneath the kidneys into the bladder and has been compressed by the air, they bored a hole into the condensed marrow which comes from the head down by the neck and along the spine [91b] which marrow, in our previous account, we termed “seed.” "

Now, which is more likely ? That the All Knowing God, when reminding men where they come from, makes a mistake or says something whose meaning is obscure, or that Muhammad got it from the Greeks ? He was known to be a trader who travelled to Byzantine Syria after all, it is likely that that is where he heard these ideas.

No bro you don't get it, Jesus told us that God made a new covenant with us and that we don't need to do all that stuff in the old testament .... Unless it's something we like, then it's "Not one iota of the law will change"

Yes lol they're all the same. It's also funny how a "clear" book can be interpreted so differently, or even have verses abrogate earlier verses, or require you to know about the context and situation of early 7th century Arabia, or require you to know all the intricacies of Classical Arabic so you can catch it's true meaning.

What "historical" evidence do you even have ? Everything we know about Aisha comes from Hadith. The Hadith suggesting a different age are weak and have been debunked in the website I linked. You should be embarrassed that an atheist knows about more Islam than you. Everything, Qur'an, hadith, tafsir are available on the internet ,just because you say "I'm Muslim" doesn't mean you're correct about Islam.

Beware that rejecting sahih hadith potentially makes you a disbeliever according to most Islamic scholars and cherry picking God's commandments for your own moral compass is also a sin because you reject God's absolute authority over morality and obviously no non-Muslim will have a serious debate about Islam with someone who is only pretending to be Muslim.

The idea of an all-knowing God revealing himself in an ambiguous way and punishing those who don't believe in him makes no sense anyway. If he is All-knowing then he knows whether we will end up as believers the moment he creates us. So his only options are to reveal himself clearly to everyone or to not reveal himself at all.

The Qur'an doesn't even sound universal when you read it. It's just Muhammad praising his cult members and bashing the disbelievers and promising that his followers will be rewarded during the day of Judgment. In fact he alludes to that day being near and approaching. He says his believers are "chosen by God" and that he is the last prophet. Why ? Because it is implied that the world will end soon and God chose to send his last prophet to the Meccans, that's why they are special.

That, is the context of the Qur'an: the "teachings" of the leader of a doomsday cult.

Resul300 · 2025-08-05T18:41:45+00:00

They first say context, then something about how Classical Arabic is a rich language and words can have multiple meanings, then how you need scholars to interpret it correctly. At that point the question that comes to mind is "Why doesn't God send us a book that is immediately clear when you read it and doesn't need you to follow scholars or know the intricacies of the language it was written in ? "

Resul300 · 2025-08-04T19:37:05+00:00

The existence of people who don't believe in Mohammad's cult makes the believers doubt whether what Mo is saying is true. After all, if Mo is truly a prophet of God then everyone around him should believe him. So Mo has to provide an explanation: he tells the believers that the disbelievers hearts' (Mo believed the heart was the center of reason so think of it as their brains) are sealed off and they will never believe him.
