And it's because we obsessively never talk about things like that as a society, probably for reasons relating to 'only current outgroup ever does terror', so that the only people going on around "did u know that the militant right-wing Zionists Jews did a terrorism too?" are exactly who you'd expect.

My grandfather was staying at the King David Hotel - he'd just gone out for a walk when it went up. We didn't really talk about it either.

sure, nothing lasts forever, but the shark eating fish paradigm has existed for half a billion years and is still going strong. conflict is sustainable on a long enough timeline that saying that perpetual conflict is not a sustainable state of affairs for humanity is just optimistic nonsense.

So long as you don’t mind the conflicting parties being different populations and indeed different species over time, sure.

The continued existence of carnivorous cartilaginous fish doesn’t tell us much about the sustainability of a specific conflict between two specific groups of homo sapiens.

This one concept turns up so invariably in the history of human conflict it's remarkable. There's something about that claim which just makes humans suspend all rationality and compassion. It has "taking back" resonance like the brexit slogan.
That's why solutions like a UN mandate or relocating Israel to less contended territory wouldn't work. It's not about land. It's about our land.

BTW some oval office was just on HIGNFY (well, 5 of them, really) and said something along the lines of "we should bomb and kill 200,000 Corbyn supporters at Glastonbury". Don't know exactly what the line was...

Anyway, he was clearly doing it to get in on a right-wing grift like The Wanktastic Mr. Fox, so, don't retweet this or comment on it...

Gonna point out that there is no way he came up with that gag on his own, the gaggle of writers who are never credited on these shows did. Source: my ex was a gag writer on these panel shows, and there were dozens of them. Very few comedians ever got leeway to veer off-script, especially an up-and-comer with no profile

I never heard of him until this thread this evening!

Just read some of the tweets about the name. To me, "Fin" is the sort of name the men in Mills & Boon novels would have had - arrogant, single, company executives who wear expensive suits and cufflinks.

In my world, Bill Bailey is the most talked about comedian.

Cool, fits my view that the North begins at a line from the mouth of the Severn to the mouth of the Nene (the latter of which those South of are pronouncing wrong) from the basis of a Westminster Parliament.

And that the True North begins similar between the mouths of the Mersey and Humber, but nobody even gives a poo poo to look up there from Westminster.

Finn's Pregnant Bride:

quote:

Furious is the only way to describe tycoon Finn Delaney when he discovers his onetime lover sold her story to the press. He’s determined to have his revenge, but before he does, he wants one last taste of Catherine Walkers’ deceptively sweet passion…and then he’ll never see her again.

Honestly, I was just guessing when I said Fin was a Mills & Boon name.... I read a handful of M&B about 20 years ago when I thought I might make a few bob on the side writing romantic drivel. Was so bored I gave up that idea.

Up until at least very recently Facebook considered Fénian to be a slur worthy of being kicked off for, which created an awkward situation for an Irish friend who was named that by incredibly Republican parents, who otherwise went by Fin and ended up having to fax them ID and resented it massively for the obvious 'we need to see your ID' reasons that would apply there.
