Now is the time it's taking to recover from the long term damage that Neoliberalism (Blair) has done. I know we try not to reply to pissflaps, but hakimashou posted:Maybe the lack of any far left wing governments in our lifetimes in Britain and the abysmal performance in polls of Corbynismo just go to prove it's unpopular and not what British people want. You're still a genocide apologist and a massive rear end in a top hat, go gently caress yourself.

If it makes any of you feel any better my ability to stay here is determined by how much money my partner makes. UK immigration is a loving mess.

Everyone has an opinion. Your science background doesn't make any difference to your political opinion and so Hawking's opinion is no better than your racist next door neighbour. It's not news. For the record I agree with him. 31: In Turkish, it's slang for male masturbation for some reason.

spectralent posted:Yeah, but nobody goes "I'm good where I am, and my kids have a good shot of being better, so let's burn the entire system down". People who think they've got nothing to lose because everything's poo poo vote for burning the whole system down. Go back a couple of pages; that brexit guy was literally saying that it'd only be bad for London because the North was already too poo poo to notice. Oh yeah, but they'd still be up for burning down a different system! That's basically modern capitalism in a nutshell w/r/t the developing world.

Bobstar posted:UK bans laptops and tablets on flights from six Middle East countries I'm frankly surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Bombs are incredibly hard to locate in those types of devices even if you're looking for them, and the resources the airports put into that stuff isn't nearly enough.

Don't need to hijack it, just blow a hole in the side over a major city. It's also extremely easy to fit bombs into newer laptops and tablets if you know what you're doing. Hi GCHQ, I work in security and am not a terrorist.

Bobstar posted:Yes. And I feel like they just removed the at-gate security at Istanbul Ataturk, certainly between the last two times I was there. So that'll be nice for them. Nobody ever wants to be the guy who okay'd the unbanning of something because if it's used for something bad within 50 years they'll blame him. The only way we're getting this stuff back is if security technology outpaces the bomb makers (lol) or those countries are deemed safe again (lol). I wonder if worldwide socialism might help with one of these!

jabby posted:Wouldn't it have to be a pretty major hole? As I recall the last laptop bomber just killed himself and the hole posed no issues with landing the plane. Depends on altitude, speed and location. It varies, which is why it's not that big a risk if it's not in the cabin, it'll be surrounded by bags that will absorb the blast.

namesake posted:Yeah that's always been the utterly obvious flaw in these checkpoints; they just move the people queuing further out of the protective layers of security and make them easier to attack. This hits the nail on the head. They don't give a poo poo about passengers, they just don't want another plane trying to ram the commons or the pentagon.

feedmegin posted:Also, with a laptop bomb you needn't go on the plane yourself, I guess. You could conceive of making something that looks like a removable battery, with a timer inside of it, and replacing the laptop's actual battery with it. Timers are old school, there might be a barometer or something in there. If it's just a battery it's much easier to catch than a full on laptop though.

hakimashou posted:Yup. The notion that any party could attemp both to be unpatriotic and also to govern the country is absurd. It's not just wrong, it's absurd, it's facrcical. You think that genocide is fine if it works, so I'm happy to disagree with you on this. Nationalism is a disease and the sooner we're rid of it, the better. Also, go gently caress yourself.

jBrereton posted:I'm not trying to ~mental health shame~ the guy but the defence was basically "battle stress, a definite medical condition that doesn't exist largely to let soldiers off when they commit war crimes, made him do this". Mental issues in soldiers is a very real and very serious issue. I'm not saying this guy has it, and I'm not sure if he saw professional if he was using that defence in court, but suggesting that mental issues, including battle stress, are made up to help soldiers get away with war crimes is a very slimy thing to do.

Breath Ray posted:Yeah. Basically all the excuses offered by his soldiers on panorama (too far to take the wounded man back, he had grenades, we were egging Al on, you should be able to kill the enemy as and when) can be safely dismissed. As his superior Tom (?) said it's a sad situation but Al broke the law. I'd say manslaughter is probably a fair outcome and who knows? Maybe this high profile case will lead to greater understanding of poor mental health in men. Unless they can prove some sort of mental issues it's still murder, I'm just saying that sweeping statements like jBreton made are unhelpful at best, and really scummy at worst.

floofyscorp posted:The problem with sex-selective abortion isn't the abortions, it's the reasons people feel that having a boy/girl would be absolutely awful for whatever reason. This is a correct opinion. Much like with many social issues, it's the circumstances that lead to the action that are the main problem, rather than the action itself.
