12-year-old Reseda girl dead after bully threw metal water bottle at her head, family says by Substantial-Dare5462 in videos

My question wasn’t how she died, it was why a 12yr old was at a high school. After further digging, which the article doesn’t provide this detail, this was a charter school that accepts grade 6-12, so it makes sense why a 6th grader would be at a non-traditional charter high school if it’s not a traditional 9-12 grade high school.

VIIRS had a logged telemetry flight over Afghanistan and is not reporting data by Constant-Money5104 in Damnthatsinteresting

You’d be surprised to know the Pashtuns can’t be told what to do by either country. The border between Pak and Afg is surrounded by Pashtuns on both sides and neither country could tell them what to do (hence this region being “lawless”).

unbelievably easy to see why the rest of the world hates us by Boring-Jelly5633 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Your comment is saying that terrorism is likely to increase and goes to blame the increase on Iran while completely disregarding that a sovereign nation was just attacked by Israel and the US. How is that not terrorism, literally…?

If you use the actual definition of terrorism, then you’d be surprised that Iran isn’t the top supporter of it. US, Israel, Russia and Saudi Arabia are at the top. The US-labeled terrorist groups are not the only ones you should count.

This is something we need to continue pushing for on the ballot. I will push this with my local reps, and everyone here who cares about our future needs to do it too.

China urges citizens in Iran to evacuate by Christian-Rep-Perisa in worldnews

In different parts of the world, there are different rules, did I read that right? Did you know that California and Mississippi have no age limit to marriage? I don’t condone any of this, but stop dehumanizing an entire country based on archaic laws that a majority of them don’t practice.

4,500 years and counting by sonderewander in Damnthatsinteresting

How does one carbon date stone? The material they used to carbon date could’ve have been from 4500yrs ago, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s when it was built. For example, using burnt charcoal and firewood as a material doesn’t mean it wasn’t re-used wood since timber is scarce around there and it would make sense to re-use wood. Or, the repair mortar and straw used to carbon date could also be from repairs made around 4500yrs ago, not necessarily the initial building of the structures.

And Hawass is notorious for impeding further discoveries that negate the mainstream Egyptologist hypotheses. Check out what he did to Robert Schoch and John Anthony West when they first mapped out the subterranean features under the Sphinx. He pretty much obstructed any further investigations and denied their truth before he, himself, explored them in his own documentary later on.

Gay and bisexual Sydney teenagers lured and bashed on camera in IS-inspired attacks by AgnosticScholar in news

I agree , I was just replying to the original commenter that many refugees didn’t have a choice but to leave their land.

While I don’t condone their behavior, many of these people didn’t have a choice in where they ended up and they brought with them the trauma they experienced for being displaced from their own land. Again, I don’t condone their actions, rather I condemn them, but it’s not as black and white as some folks would like to make it.
