At least for Germany the legal basis was already laid last year when the "progressive" government of social democrats (SPD), Greens and (neo-)liberals (FDP) passed a revamped citizenship law. They allow for dual citizenship but also passed that you can loose your citizenship if you don't become stateless.

Then multiple states made a requirement that you need to sign a paper in your application process, where you say that you agree in "Israels right to exist". The caveat is that this term is nonsensical in a legal sense (there simply is no codification of a "right of existence" for states) and deliberately ambiguous in a political sense. (In which territory, with which government, with which people? Is calling the current government fascist an attack on the state itself already?)

So whenever a citizen speaks up against actions of the state of Israel, goes to a demonstration, likes the wrong social media post... German authorities could revoke the citizenship based on saying he lied on his application. This does not require a criminal conviction and is much more difficult to challenge as "lying" on your application is a sufficient formal reason. IIRC the law isn't even limited to dual citizens but it is enough if the person would not become stateless if Germany revokes their citizenship. This is for instance the case for people who are claimed as citizens by Iran, as Iran does not recognize people renouncing their citizenship.

The more money the dod pays on bombing farmers in Yemen the less money it has for other things.

Also that money could have paid the salary of about 3.000 teachers for a year. The US being willing to spend in such a stupid way does not remove from it being unsustainable for society as a whole. Will it bring the US down by itself? No. Will it be one of the many cuts that is bleeding the US dry eventually? Yes.

Extremism is usually against the fundamentals of many religions. The whole terminology is wrong to begin with.

Take the example of American Evangelists. Do they go to the fundamentals of Jesus preaching according to the bible? Take everything you have and give to the poor? Rather an Elephant goes through the eye of a needle than a rich man reaching heaven? Tossing over tables of trade in the temples as the places of worship should not be places of commerce and greed? Refraining from violence wherever possible?

In the same wake the people quoted regarding Shiasm. The Quran says you should not bother with that. Also it is core to understand that noone except Allah knows what is in the heart of a person and noone except Allah will judge on who goes to hell and who goes to paradise.

English translation of the meaning:

[6:159] Surely they who divided their religion into parts and became sects, you have no concern with them; their affair is only with Allah, then He will inform them of what they did.

So being extremist shouldnt be called fundamentalist, as you need to violate some or many fundamentals to become extreme.

Adjusting for population growth i wonder if the risk to get kidnapped by pirates is significantly different from the 17th century.

That being said, how much value do you generate for your employer and how big is your salary?

No, MS just wants to expand their monopoly, but "MS buying most common browser, after antitrust laws already forbid internet explorer" doesnt ring so well.

Thats a perfectly reasonable sample size and margin of error. The margin of error for a given confidence level and standard deviation is proportional to 1/sqrt(n) so in order to get the margin of error down from 4% points to 2% they would need to quadruple the number of people polled. However this is worthless if you cannot attribute for systematic errors with a better precision.

The asshole is the servant of the Nazi. You only get the Nazi a bit later and all the more stronger. They are both parts of the same Oligarchy that ultimately wants the Nazi in power.

Don't worry. People born in 19xx also only look like adults.

 

So the names of the options literally translate to:

Row Above
Row insert beneath
Colums Left
Insert Column Right

Not only are they named inconsistently and only partially translated. The capitalization is also seemingly random.

I know this isn't typical news. I thought it quite interesting as the "Semana Santa" is a very different approach to Easter compared with more Northern European countries
