Israel has been striking Gaza, killing women and children on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. Not a peep from you lot.
Bullshit.
Only you and perhaps one other are suggesting their side is justified in killing innocents. The rest of us are condemning the atrocities on both sides.

If a few hundred Jews broke out of Auschwitz and went on the rampage, killing Nazis, they would get plenty of understanding now.
Sure they would. But not if they broke out of Auschwitz and went on the rampage, killing women and children.

No, your question includes inherent false assumptions, and your understanding of how the world operates appears to be badly lacking.
Maybe you've heard of WW2 ? Harry S Truman ordered that about 200,000 mostly civilians, women and children included, should be blasted or horribly burnt to death. With the consent of Winston Churchill. You can still find their statues all over the place. It doesn't say immoral on the plinth.
Quit trolling. It's unbecoming.

Do you have any idea of how politics works? Do you think it's all done by public pronouncements? You seem to have a very simplistic view of the world. Israel knows how far it can go. It's all done behind the scenes.
Can you answer my questions please? And if you can do so without belittling my knowledge I'd appreciate it.
33 minutes ago, mistermack said:Absolutely morally superior. They are fighting for the freedom of their people. They are freedom fighters. Israel is fighting to keep what's been stolen. If you suffer a house invasion, you have the right to fight. So do they.
So if one are fighting for the freedom of their people, then the targeted killing of women, children and civilians is not immoral? Or is it just a little bit immoral?

It's the US government that calls the real shots.
Are you saying they called for an invasion of Gaza? If not, what shots do you believe they have 'called' during this current situation?
8 minutes ago, mistermack said:Maybe not, but the moral depths are firmly occupied by the state of Israel and it's US backers.
But not Hamas? Do you feel Hamas is in some way superior morally to Israel in this exchange?

A fire would simply burn the hell out of it.

If that falsifies my hypothesis then doesn’t that also contradict the bbt as well?

Perhaps for the same reason that the dispersion of matter throughout the universe is not completely smooth and uniform either.
Why is the CMBR not completely smooth and uniform, in contrast to red-shifted light from distant galaxies, given that as you said "my hypothesis would have the same effect on all electromagnetic radiation including the CMBR."

My proposed hypothesis describes the effect on electromagnetic radiation, therefore, my hypothesis would have the same effect on all electromagnetic radiation including the CMBR.
Then why is the CMBR not completely smooth and uniform?

I don’t understand why my hypothesis must include an explanation for the CMBR, considering that it has already been established in this thread, that the cmbr may have alternative explanations, that do not rely on the bbt.
You are making a proposal to explain the observation of electromagnetic radiation. The CMBR is electromagnetic radiation.
I can propose a hypothesis that gravity does not exist by showing that leaves sometimes move away from the earth, but if I don't include an explanation in my hypothesis regarding the fact that leaves also land on the ground, then my hypothesis has no value. I must account for all observations, not just some of them. I can't say gravity doesn't exist if I limit my dataset to only the leaves that are moving up.

Okhams razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the best one, I’ve kept my hypothesis simple as per Okhams razor.
Your explanation must include the CMBR. Once you add a shoe-horned CMBR piece into your hypothesis it becomes much more complex than the BBT.

What "Gay" animals are you referring to?
Well, the female ducks in my yard regularly hump each other. Same for the male rabbits.

As we evolved we developed instincts to guide us and warn us against behaviour that is not conducive to the well being of humanity.
Then our instincts kind of suck given all the war, genocide, global warming, pollution, nuclear weapons, etc.

Then I will need to know what their positions are, and what they use to support those.
You should try asking them in a pleasant way. This is a discussion forum after all.

I see ...
The kid who went to a party during COVID, became infected, brought it home to his grandmother, who subsequently passed away, is morally equivalent to a person who rapes a mother and then cuts her throat.
My mistake. I forgot what it was like trying to engage with you.

Well then I would say it's a good thing we retired the shuttle.
The shuttle was not retired because it could not go to the moon. It was never intended to go to the moon. If it hadn't been retired no one would even have considered rehabbing it to go to the moon. I'm not sure why you are having such a difficult time with this.

Yet thousands of rockets still manage to get in ?
Yes, rockets still get in. Not sure what your point is though. Are you suggesting food, water and power have not been cut off?
5 minutes ago, MigL said:it takes a whole different level of nastiness to get up close and personal in order to butcher someone with a knife.
I don't think I could do it, and I presume you wouldn't be able to either.I'm not sure the dead person would feel better knowing that their killer was a relatively nice person.

Anyone who says the Oct 7 raid/massacre by Hamas militants was justified, or can cheer them on like many students and protesters have, has descended to the same sub-human level.
The same could be said of anyone who says cutting off food, water and power, then bombing places occupied by children and the elderly is justified. It surprises me how many people feel comfortable calling one side barbaric while claiming the actions of their preferred side is justified.

The Palestinians are ultimately innocent
I'm no fan of Israel in this conflict but given recent events I'm not sure "innocent" should be used when describing the militant wing of the Palestinians. Perhaps it might be more reasonable to say that the Palestinians didn't start this dumpster fire...

Every medical website I can find says that people can breathe through their mouth
It actually says that on every medical website? I'd kind of be surprised if they stated that on even one website. Maybe it is listed where they state that humans eventually die.

You can't seriously be unclear about whether humans breathe through their mouths, sleeping or not. Are you trolling us?
