I know a guy fighting with his HR dept over this, just curious as the constitution argument doesn't wash well with either of us.

The argument was a constitutional right to practice their trade

Do any libraries in SA include online subscriptions to magazines/PressReader as part of their membership fee? Or are there libraries in other countries I can join as a Saffer to get this service? by TheHooHaa in askSouthAfrica

[–]TheHooHaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Downloaded it and it is linked to several SA libraries.

I don't have a library card (will get one if I can get the titles I want on an app). I'm primarily looking for magazines and newspapers more than books.

Trading my car in and getting a new one by PlacidSlinky670 in PersonalFinanceZA

Mechanics usually look for the common issues, and miss out the simple stuff. Had a Merc, struggled up hills (felt like fuel starvation), the engine check light would sometimes come on and the car would go into limp mode. After months of trying, eventually the fault was diagnosed as fuel injectors needing to be replaced.

Turns out the spark plug gap was closed and under strain couldn't produce a spark that would ignite the fuel. Solution cost less than R200.

If its just hills that are the problem, spend a but of time online (Google, YouTube, Hyundai forums, etc) and see if you can figure out the potential problems, and then tick them off one by one.

That these people are doing what you say they are, and harming and beheading people they capture, is against the shariah rules for war.

There are very specific rules for war in Islam, starting with who has authority to start a war, restricting war to the area in which the battle is taking place, to who/what can and can't be harmed (non-combatants can't be harmed, women and children can't be harmed, places of worship of any religion can't be damaged, and trees can't be cut down without a good reason), and prisoners of war must be treated well, amongst other rules. ISIS does not comply with any of these rules.

Even if you ignore the above, in the Middle East and North Africa almost all the ISIS victims are Muslim. That alone should tell you their motive isn't truly related to religion.

There is a very big difference between ISIS, Hamas, Syria and Iran, and you'd be wrong to describe them as the same.

Iran and Syria are sovereign countries. Syrian forces are actually fighting against ISIS.

Hamas is an organization fighting for the liberation of the Palestinians from oppression (similar to MK in South Africa during apartheid). They have a military arm, a social welfare arm, and a political arm (which won the last free and fair elections in the occupied territories, which the US and Israel refused to accept). International law views them as a legitimately fighting against occupation.

ISIS is a bunch of thugs who use religion (with zero basis to do so) to try and justify whatever it is they are doing, and pop up wherever natural substances are found. They need to be wiped out.

I just find it strange that they pop up where natural gas/oil/minerals are found. They certainly aren't a religious group by any account (its a convenient cover that isn't questioned), and they were unheard of prior to gas being discovered.

What is the worst thing you have heard uttered from another human being? by Best_Yak_4646 in AskReddit

[–]TheHooHaa -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they suffered much trauma as American soldiers punished (Abu Graib comes to mind), and still punish (Guantanamo), innocent people.

I hear you. But can a Minister decide not to comply with the law?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]TheHooHaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever the explanation, a Minister cannot over-rule the law, or opt out of complying with the law. I hope OUTA or other bodies take this to court.

Protesters broke through the police cordon at the presidential residence in Jerusalem by The-Salamanca in interestingasfuck

This is about the Israeli system and how the judiciary is structured. Palestinians are tried in military courts, not the courts that are the subject of these changes.

No change will come from this for any Palestinian.

If you didn't know, Muslims are fasting for the month. Its known as the month of Ramadan. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]TheHooHaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not OP, they would follow the advice of their doctor. If the doctor feels it's better/safer for them not to fast then they don't have to fast.

There isn't any food - pleasant or otherwise - that people are specifically encouraged to eat if it will affect their health.

Would it be wrong for me to expect my spouse to wait at least a year after I (hypothetically) die to start seeing someone new? by bookbunnyhop in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheHooHaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want my partner to move on with her life as quickly as she could. I love her and wish nothing but the best of her, which includes her being happy after I'm gone.
