What utter garbage; your claim assumes that all people regardless of gender, class, or race, have equal abilities and equal qualifications for any given job. Not only is that preposterous, but not an equal percentage of people even want the same jobs or careers. In the UK for an example, 89% of nurses are female. Your woke ideologies have caused you to post some absurd comments, but this one is the biscuit taker.

Some posters on here are continually trying to drag threads off topic to fit their own narrative; but if someone else does it, they squeal like a scalded cat

Have you informed Xi Jinping yet ?

Meritocracy in the UK is in the ICU coughing up blood.

The lefties on here won't be happy unless he is also Trans

Says an extreme left wing gaslighter

More Chinese junk being championed by the woke lefties

You have subsequently confirmed that this comment was a reference to 7 October 2023. That you think the Palestinians responsible for this barbarism should not be continuously damned, is the most disgraceful apology for Islamic terrorism that I have seen on this forum. On 7 October Palestinians, both Hamas, and civilians, slaughtered 260 young kids enjoying a music festival with machine guns and semi-automatic weapons; then, amongst the other atrocities they committed, they cut open the stomach of a pregnant woman while she was still alive, removed her unborn baby, beheaded it in front of her, and then beheaded her. And you don’t think they should be continuously damned for the most barbaric act of terrorism in modern history; contemptuous. I have seen your previous comments, defending and deflecting from the Islamic Sharia practices of misogyny, FGM, prepubescent marriages etc; you are a typical far left pro-Islamist, and your pathetic disclaimer of “And please do not confuse Anti-Semitic with anti Israel or the criticism of the actions of Israel” might work on student forums, but not in the real world; antisemitism shines brightly through your veiled attempts of disguise. I have nothing but contempt for you. I will never forget 7 October, however much the likes of you want to. I stand with Israel. 🇮🇱

an excellent example of illiteracy; many thanks

I should have known that juxtaposing a futile historic agreement, with a futile modern agreement, would go right over your head.

I doubt if it is being ignored, but very possibly manipulated. There is a school of thought that the treaty was never robust enough to begin with, which is why Trump withdrew. Only one reason for being evasive, they want nuclear weapons.

Good try, but I don't think it is possible to make someone that felt the need to ask the question understand; you can explain it to them but you cannot understand it for them.

America, which you must have now researched; considering you didn’t even know there was such a treaty only a few hours ago. Well done.

There is; it is called the JCPOA and is between Iran, China, Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Yes to you first question. Open one of my remaining three bottles of 1982 Château Margaux to your second question …….. next

Not sure if you are just being a contrarian, or if you have simply not followed events in the middle east for the last 30 years or more; so just a little edification. Iran have been threatening to wipe Israel from the face of the earth for many years. These threats were made repeatedly by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad between 2005 and 2013 when he was President of Iran, and have just been repeated by General Ebrahim Jabbari, who has said "Operation True Promise 3 will be carried out. (True promises 1 & 2 were April 2024 & October 2024 respectively) In April 2024 Iran launched, in an unprovoked attack, 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles, indiscriminately at Israeli territory; then on 1st October 2024 Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli territory, again indiscriminately, not targeting military installations. I wonder if you can guess what might happen to Israel if Iran acquired nuclear weapons, which you seem to be advocating; I guess it's because you are an antisemite and a Hamas apologist, so the obvious eventuality would probably not bother you one jot. There has been no verification that Israel has nuclear weapons, although I think it more likely than not.

My question was to another poster in response to their comment, and was specifically asking if they thought it was acceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons; it was not about any other, or certain countries.

Crikey, looks like we’ve got Neville Chamberlin on the forum now; whatever next ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Would you find it acceptable to see Iran with Nuclear weapons ?

Last Songkran, the police stopped a total of 279,873 vehicles for examination, and action was taken against 39,611 traffic offenders — including a staggering 11,013 for driving without a licence. I wonder how many of those caught without a license were allowed to continue driving after a “fine” …. and are still driving unlicensed today

UNRWA is indirectly responsible for the shooting of the Gaza “Paramedics” When UNRWA morphed from an aid agency into a wing of the terrorist organisation, Hamas, they changed the fundamental rules of conflict; it is when Hamas started using ambulances to relocate terrorist fighters and munitions around Gaza, directly under the eyes of UNRWA. Some of UNRWA’s “aid workers” took part in the most barbaric atrocity in modern history on 7 October, and then subsequently held wounded and dying hostages on behalf of Hamas, in their facilities in Gaza. This changed everything, because once the IDF knew that ambulances were being used for military purposes, in a direct contravention of the Geneva convention, in one fell swoop, they all became legitimate targets; we are yet to know if the "medics" killed in this incident were genuine medics or terrorists, but Hamas themselves legitimised their targeting, nobody else. This has caused a problem for all the left wing seat-sniffers that have been continually criticising Israel with UN quotes, and citing UN resolutions (apart from 181, of course) So now the UN that they have been championing, are shown to have a terrorist organisation controlling its main aid agency; an agency that employs 13,000 Palestinians in Gaza. The once proud reputation of the UN lies tainted, tattered, and completely discredited.

Just as it is impossible to tell when a swimming fish is drinking water, so it is impossible to tell when a Palestinian medic or aid worker is actually a terrorist. You'll always reap just what you sow

This is deflection of Olympic standard; how can it possibly be an irrelevance ? Hamas terrorists working for, and controlling, the main aid agency in Gaza, UNRWA, is the reason that the IDF cannot trust any agency in Gaza not to be terrorists. If the UN’s main aid agency in Gaza has Hamas terrorists controlling it, how can any other agency be trusted not to be terrorists. Nothing could possibly be more relevant to the topic than UNRWA’s abuse of its status as an aid agency, and you want to dismiss it as an irrelevance. Your dismissive attitude towards terrorism, and relentless criticism of those trying to fight it is shameful.

Another disgraceful attempt at justifying terrorism; it was not an armed conflict, it was a terrorist attack on innocent civilians … absolutely shameful

Says the man who continually refuses to address the point I made about UNRWA; when this UN affiliated aid agency employs Hamas terrorists in disguise who took part in the atrocities of 7 October 2023, and then subsequently held wounded and dying hostages captive in their facilities in Gaza, how are the IDF supposed to differentiate between terrorists and civilians. If civilians, and more disgustingly, aid workers, are actually terrorists, what do you expect the IDF to do in this war.
