There is another forum on here? I am logged in and can't see it. I presume its behind a paywall or something? Ah, now I see it at the bottom. This thread suggests it isn't very interesting though.

Murdered in a church by a 25 year old Somali male apparently.

Didn't you know? Volunteering is systemic racism. I think someone wanted to reform the whole concept of docents, and have more control, more than I think this was about diversity. Employees can be controlled a lot easier than volunteers who don't need to earn that crust. Although given the...

It seems unlikely that descendants of Nazis will be prosecuted under current laws, unless they committed crimes within modern statutes. The existing situation relies on a precedent that extends a principle from "committed crimes directly" to " indirect responsibility". The people being...

You say on the other hand like its supposed to make a difference. None of the supernatural beings are involved. The Protoss are harvested by Amon to create a physical form, and psychically possessed or deceived in the form of the Taldarim to enslave them. There is a reasonable parallel with...

I'm not sure on your logic here, unless it's that your understanding was completely fictional, and the reality is still that a man decided to rape a child, and is by now probably walking free in Germany, instead of being, at worst, catapulted back to his own hellhole rather than enjoying the...

That is not at all what happened. The case has some questionable aspects, but what you're saying has very little relation to the reality of the case. Firstly, it was an Austrian case, so the comparison to the German case has little relevance with regards the relative state of jurisprudence...

I think you are getting too enthusiastic about extrapolating what a Dark Archon can do based on the highly limited efforts of the game dark archons. It is also being considered outside of knowing if the Protoss are even in a position to do much with a Dark Archon. Archons have a physical...

It probably would depend on the Craftworld and the period of the Protoss race. In terms of absolute population a Craftworld can have millions to billions of Eldar. So at some points in either sides history a major Craftworld could outnumber the Protoss in the sense of population. All adult...

Whoever was right or wrong for jailing people, although I am pretty certain it was more China for grabbing two random canucks for political retaliation, I'd much rather be unfairly imprisoned by Canada than the PRC, judging by how differently the two countries treated their prisoners. Trump...

Where does it say that pronouns are required? I have seen active accounts with no pronouns specified.

I think there is a much more important issue in there. It maintains the concept of Parliamentary Sovereignty. Because the only way for the lower courts to mandate that Begum would get to come back in the face of the decision made, would have been to effectively usurp the powers of Parliament...

At the time of the decision made by the Secretary of State, Shamina Begum was not rendered stateless. The fact that Bangladesh decided to ignore their own laws, because they don't have the same standard of legal probity as the UK, doesn't retroactively make the decision of the Secretary of...

The various human rights conventions, refugee conventions and other treaties and acts which currently restrain Governments mostly appear to post-date WW2. So the answer to your proposal is that the UK would not have been obligated to do much.

It has been legally tested, and so far held up. At the time she was stripped of Citizenship there was a reasonable expectation that she could claim Bangladeshi citizenship. Bangladesh saying no, and threatening to kill her makes them the problem, not the UK. It is a similar situation to the...
