It's an expression fgs. I care not about the feelings of Nazis. I do, however, care a lot about how far we are willing to degrade ourselves in order to defeat them.

And aside from anything else, you are just helping the enemy with this kind of utterance. Look what's happened since, it's been turned into 1) a big stick to smash the bbc with 2) calls to legislate on artistic freedoms 3) antisemitism the topic of the day everywhere again. What about 4 and 5? 4) raise awareness of the genocide 5) actually help palestinians in a more tangiable way

How did we do on 4 and 5?

Well I tell you what's a more interesting question, because if they had just said 'Free Palestine' and 'send your aid money here' or even 'stop the genocide' or something similarly not technically illegal to broadcast, then how different would 4 and 5 be to what they are now? because they'd come without the expense of 2, maybe not 3 either, and as for 1, the BBC would actually have a leg to stand on defending themselves.

So why spoil it for everyone and take two big steps backwards? How about we use language that doesn't make us sound no better than they are?

Agree with such chants?

You start your chart with 'death to..' then you're playing the wrong game.

Whilst I'll never agree with such chants, see the thing is whilst this embassy official might not give two shits about the amount of wanton death being inflicted by the IDF, others do.

Boeing should start building their planes out of rubber and change their name to Boing.

actually, while it doesn't change the conclusion hardly, we have all forgotten that 395k wage is a combined income.

I mean these are still silly high wages.. Having said that though, both the combined income, and that it's very conceivable a good portion of that income is from capital gains, not work... they probably get more take home out of that 395k income than we'd expect too...

I'm not sure there is actually a proper definition of 'rich' that would allow you to accurately classify a group of incomes into rich and not rich.

But if you were to think of it in terms of the 'feeling' I'd say I'd feel rich if I never had to choose a cheaper option for anything at all, ever, could eat out and check into a hotel for the night any time I liked, all whilst currently putting away a handsome investment of some kind - but still have more disposable income than I could possible waste between income periods with nothing but my own debauchery (barring expensive drug habits).

That's what I call rich - basically never having to worry about your supply of money, thing is, some people can achieve this on much less than others due to their tastes and circumstances. I'd feel rich if I worked 9-5 and took home upwards of £300k for sure. Others might not though.

and some goddam alimony, not from the state either, from the cop.

 

I'm still amazed nobody made more noise about the fact she wasn't charged.

One can only possibly wonder why the usual suspects complaining about two tier policing and people getting away with crimes (even when convicted with lengthy sentences, yeah makes no sense) when they should be punished didn't seem too bothered about this.
