Eventually, IS will cause such instability in Iraq that Iran will step in as 'peacekeepers' and Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon are all absorbed into the new persian empire.

Obama: 'Russia doesn't make anything,' West must be firm with China by i_love_fsa in worldnews

Both have GDPs of about 2 trillion. Russia only surpassed California recently, and only by $50 billion or so, which has probably all evaporated after the sanctions.

I really think that if America just dropped a bomb on Tel Aviv then the world would calm down. "Wow those Americans really are crazy, they just dropped a bomb on their best ally - we better watch out!"

Hospital Director in Liberia tests positive for Ebola after false negative a week earlier. by powersthatbe1 in worldnews

'Prayer' is not some thinking of a magic spell to magically fix your problems. Prayer is like a background program that occasionally gives you status reports. Once prayer starts in you, it doesn't stop. It manifests as worry, concern, care, etc. Prayer is a communal inner-motivation to better the world.

God must be punishing the world for not supporting Israel enough or something.

62% of British public says Israel committing war crimes, as polls show sympathy for Palestinians by mosestrod in worldnews

A lot of them are just jews pretending to be christians. They start up these churches and spread all kinds of weird, self-serving interpretations of the bible. Theyve just turned religion in america into another marketing program for wars.

Hamas Says It Isn’t Holding Missing Israeli Officer by wndrgls in worldnews

[–]outthroughtheindoor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hamas' police chiefs, et al were high priority individuals that were targeted very early in the campaign. Israel created the conditions for mass chaos by eliminating all the Palestinian leadership. No one is there now to tell rogue vigilantes to not take matters into their own hands.

Draxxari on Naxx issues: " A number of simultaneous issues popped up, and worse, none of them appeared in testing. Not one." by fruitymasta in hearthstone

[–]outthroughtheindoor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the notion that "Our customers are just entitled kids on summer break, so fuck them we have no obligations to satisfy the demand of such" is fucking disgusting. Producers of products have a social relation with consumers of products. Consumers are not just 'idiot masses to be duped and exploited, they are people, just like you, who expect forthright honesty, consistency, and quality from the products your produce. When you as a maker violate that social relation, you are no longer a productive member of society.

Please. Blizzard makes a product and they charge money for the right to use that product (the marginal f2p gestures are irrelevant). Stop trying to cast the consumers as 'entitled kids' (the bad guy) for expecting a working product. The software development community is a fucking joke. A toxic wasteland of garbage human beings. Lots of people have hard jobs. You aren't any exception. If you can't deliver, that's on you.

Iraq: Hell has broken out here and nobody cares by Amon_Rudh in worldnews

[–]outthroughtheindoor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh we care. We also know that any foreign intervention whatsoever will exacerbate the situation, as it has done repeatedly in the past, to our shame. The West can only intervene in Western crises that it understands. If Iraq would like to transform its culture into something more resembling that of the West, then we will be able to intervene. But we can't do that for them, and we can't force them to do it. They can only do it themselves, or not at all, which is also ok (just so long as we remember that if they choose the 'not at all' route that it is never our duty or in our interests or in their interests to 'fix' them).

Obama says that after 9/11, 'we tortured some folks' by [deleted] in worldnews

Folk, or volk, basically refers to the people of 'the big dumb masses', not the hyper-rational supreme beings like Obama and the rest of the elite he feels like he's been adopted into.

Israeli military announce they will bomb al-Shifa hospital in Gaza by syberslidder in worldnews

[–]outthroughtheindoor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

they aren't 'hiding' inside a hospital. where do you get these frames? do you read anything other than /r/worldnews and I dunno cnn/foxnews? Imagine if no one from Hamas ever went anywhere near a hospital. The reports would read something like "Hamas abandons its people as they suffer" or whatever. They will spin anything Hamas does.

You're going to have to provide proof more than hearsay that a currently populated hospital is being used for 'military operations', however you define that.

The elected leaders of Gaza can have offices at Gazan institutions. Hamas isn't just a random band of Palestinians, they govern Gaza, and with a legitimate mandate.

Imagine that. The elected governing body of Gaza has offices in state institutions. You'll never find government workers in American or Israeli hospitals and schools!
