It’s quite a bit more probable in this situation considering the person responsible for the previous false flag is still in power. Still, it’s speculation which can probably be avoided for now.

Exactly. They’re the only unique thing about it, everything else is generic sci-fi. Much better places for that.

Not sure why I’m speaking for Amir but it reads as if the first paragraph was his immediate reaction to the event. Is he still saying he wants his security back no matter what? When was the last time he said that?

Really? In a moment of fear, anguish and anger it’s quite possible to have feelings and thoughts which you later come to reevaluate.

Well it would be worse if more Gazans died. Which is of course within Israel’s power. And there’s various ways Trump could encourage/assist Israel to kill more Gazans. But of course you’re right, this is hypothetical and we don’t know if it would be better, the same or worse under Trump.

They’re not refugees but they are the affluent. Russia is a poor and inequitable country and so are the large majority of its citizens, who are not able to leave the country or spend that kind of money. They are likely to be more educated and will have different views on politics.

Unless these children are identical twins then you really can’t exclude genetics having a large part to play in these different responses. Of course in reality there’s an extremely complex interplay between environment and genetics resulting in responses unique to that particular individual, but...

Yes and it is an extremely cruel and tragic twist of fate as the perpetrator is not responsible for the genes they inherited, nor the environment they grew up in.

Well what else could it be? If the environment is the same, but the response between two kids is so drastically different (murdering vs non murdering) it has to be heavily based on genetics.

Exactly. And they don’t due to differences in their genes and/or environment. If those non murdering kids had exactly the same genes and environment as the murdering kids well then they’d also probably be murderers.

It’s tricky with children as young as 16 with crimes such as this. They are a product of their nature and nurture, neither of which they have had much say in by that age.

So what like 0.5% of the UK’s GDP? I have to listen to so many people/politicians/media go on and on and on about something comparatively that small? Apparently wastage in the public sector is costing the UK £10 billlion per year. I wonder why that isn’t talked about in the media any where near...

His relatively low conversion rate doesn’t support that?

That’s all rubbish. I worked with someone who has been, alongside her family, ostracised from Iran because of her religion, and has had friends murdered by the state. In the recent protests people she knew (not participating) were sought out, kidnapped and tortured. The regime used the protest...

The Saudi league is of extremely poor quality and every goal he scores there is meaningless. Just like it’s always been for every other semi-retired footballer playing in these sort of leagues.
