Good point well made. In the UK Down’s syndrome is now commonly screened for with an option for the parents to abort and there’s very few people that see a problem with that, is that eugenics?
Most people would agree “I only want a child with blonde hair” is too far, but as for preventing suffering, as you say, it’s a tough line to draw.
It’s an uncomfortable question, but a question that appears to be made in good faith and OP shouldn’t be getting downvoted. I do not see the benefit of “burying” this question and the many well written answers in this thread show that.
This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to “do you have enough time and money?”
Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don’t have that information, but it doesn’t sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.
I can only speak for the UK but since the 2009 banking crisis the poor have gotten poorer and the rich have gotten richer. Meanwhile the press have very successfully focused attention on to migrants.
A lot of people truly believe that they are poor, not because the richest are picking their pockets, but because the poorest are.
foiled again by quick lemmers
There’s a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren’t foiled, you just didn’t bother to read the comments before posting.
Right. Blocking people for no other reason than “I disagree” or “I don’t like that” turns the place in to an echo chamber. Like, if that’s what you want, fine, but one reason I left Reddit was to get out of the echo chamber.
There are loads of vegans that are lovely, reasonable people, but unfortunately they get shadowed by the much less reasonable outspoken ones.
I’m a “carny” btw
One of my favourite things about super was to see the original Goku character come back. A goofy and loveable guy that’s a savant when it comes to fighting and just wants a bigger challenge.
Hercule. Not only is he fucking hilarious but without him the fights against Cell and Buu would have been lost.
In the Cell games he showed incredible bravery to throw 16’s head over to Gohan, enabling Gohan to hear the words he needed to go super sayin 2.
In the Buu saga, he befriended a monster, he showed kindness and compassion that was nearly able to end the fight before it even started. This later caused the good and evil buu’s to split.
True, but that’s not the point. It’d clearly be unrealistic to equate the crime to things like rape or murder.
The man’s obviously sick in the head but at least didn’t attack a child irl.
It’s my understanding that it’s actually a pretty typical sentence. He’s obviously sick in the head but has been judged as little risk to children.
On the contrary, I absolutely appreciate it. I was about 15 when mobile phones first became a thing that everyone owned, so I’ve lived through the entire progression from when they were something only a well to do businessman would have all the way through to today. The first iPhone was 2007, 17 years ago btw.
When mobile phones became popular, each new generation of phones saw HUGE improvements and innovation. However, the last ten years has pretty much just been slight improvements to screen/camera/memory/CPU. Form wise and functionally, they’re very similar to the phone of ten years ago.
I understand that some technophiles will always be able to justify why the new iPhone is worth £1600 and if that’s what they want to spend their money on then good for them, but I personally think that they are kidding themselves. Today you can get a brilliant phone for £300 or even less.

I agree. Smartphones, for example, have hardly changed at all over the last ten years, but you don’t see Apple and Samsung going out of business.
I remember when running counter strike at 30fps on a 480p monitor meant you had a good computer.
Modern graphics are amazing, but they’re simply not required to have a good gaming experience.
I’d ask how much your parents helped you.
Murder implies intent. If the assailant, knowing they had COVID, purposefully coughed in to the face of the victim with the intent of infecting them, then you have a point. But the article does not imply that is what happened.
The hostages were hamas
I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be getting downvoted. You’ve asked a question that isn’t editorialised, appears to made in good faith and asks the opinions of others.
You’ve prompted some very good answers here.
