What I am suggesting is the Death Penalty for the worst offenders who Don't even defend what they did. Examples like Axel Rudakubana, Ian Huntley, Lee Rigby's killer Michael Adebowale, Salman Abedi, Manchester Arena Bomber, any child killers, Monsters like this. As for Monsters killed inside prison most murder's serve there sentance and are released some only doing 10 yrs for good behaviour. In prison there is a code even by Evil men, but one thing they will not tolerate is child killers because of they see it as ultimate justice is not served on the Monster who deserve the ultimate punishment. In short i believe the DP should be administred to only the most notorious Monsters.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:38:50 +0000i have posted my comment to the topic stop trollingSat, 20 Jun 2026 05:38:28 +0000According to an article in The Sun (mentioned above) he suffered a broken arm and pelvis so those sound more like fall injuries but a BBC article did say that the child was also bitten by a crocodile.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:38:23 +0000To be clear, it is your position that the same number of people would speed, if the penalty for speeding were death, is that correct?Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:36:29 +0000And How do you know that ?? back up your statmentSat, 20 Jun 2026 05:36:00 +0000More interest!

After surviving months of intense military pressure, Tehran is now racing to cash in on the benefits of the interim peace agreement signed this week. Oil exports are surging, sanctions are being eased, and Iranian officials are demanding a complete end to Israeli military operations in Lebanon. But beneath the victory rhetoric, major challenges threaten to derail Iran's recovery. Survival Becomes The Regime's Greatest AchievementAnalysts say Iran's biggest success may simply be that the Islamic Republic survived. The country endured weeks of devastating US and Israeli strikes that damaged military infrastructure, energy facilities and key industries. "It could have been much worse," said Iran analyst Farzan Sabet. "The real victory for Iran was survival." Iranian leaders now believe they have proven they can withstand direct confrontation with the United States while maintaining their grip on power. Many in Tehran also calculate that President Donald Trump is unlikely to risk restarting the war after witnessing the economic shock caused by disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz. Oil Money Begins Flowing AgainThe agreement has already delivered immediate economic benefits. With Washington lifting restrictions on Iranian crude exports, oil tankers have begun leaving Iranian ports at a rapid pace. Industry trackers estimate Iran exported almost 18 million barrels of oil in just five days, generating more than $1.4 billion in revenue. For years, sanctions forced Iran to sell oil through shadow networks at discounted prices. Now Tehran can access wider markets and command higher prices. The financial lifeline comes at a critical moment for an economy battered by war, sanctions and years of mismanagement. Economic Crisis Still Threatens StabilityDespite the fresh oil revenue, Iran faces a deep economic crisis. Many families are struggling to afford basic food supplies, while inflation continues to crush household budgets. The Iranian rial has collapsed from roughly 32,000 to the dollar in 2015 to more than 1.5 million today. The economic collapse helped fuel the nationwide protests that shook Iran earlier this year. Those demonstrations became one of the most serious challenges to the regime in decades and were met with a brutal crackdown that reportedly left thousands dead. While the government has sought to project strength through mass rallies and patriotic messaging since the war began, underlying public anger remains a major concern. Nuclear Talks Could Trigger New ConfrontationThe next battle may be diplomatic rather than military. Under the interim agreement, Iran has accepted limits on its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, a key demand from Washington. However, Tehran continues to reject calls to completely end uranium enrichment. That issue remains the central obstacle in negotiations. Hard-line factions inside Iran are already accusing the government of surrendering valuable leverage. Some conservative media outlets have criticised the agreement for giving away too much while receiving only vague promises in return. Lebanon Could Become The Next FlashpointThe fragile ceasefire also faces pressure from events in Lebanon. Iran insists that any lasting peace must include a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory. Israel has made clear it intends to continue military operations against Hezbollah until it believes the threat has been neutralised. That leaves little room for compromise. The postponement of planned talks in Switzerland after renewed fighting in Lebanon underlined how quickly tensions could escalate again. Victory Or Breathing Space?Iran's leadership is celebrating what it sees as a strategic success. It has secured sanctions relief, resumed oil exports and survived a conflict many believed could threaten the regime itself. Yet enormous economic problems remain unresolved, domestic tensions continue to simmer and nuclear negotiations could collapse at any moment. For now, Tehran is enjoying a rare moment of confidence. Whether it has truly won the peace may prove far harder to answer than whether it survived the war. SOURCESat, 20 Jun 2026 05:33:28 +0000So silly.

Yes I worked on the ISS program, plus both North American and European satellite programs for decades, as an engineer responsible for the satellite's telescope, detection sensors and also computers (and also as an operator). But one not need first hand knowledge (like i have), .... as noted, there are good text books on this. Did you also work on such? It would be good/fun to converse with a fellow engineer/satellite operator at times (possibly better via private exchange).Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:26:18 +0000Results may not feel right, but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong. it is tempting to place blame solely on the individuals who supported Trump at the polls, the reality is far more complicated. voter apathy, entrenched inequities, the modern media landscape, and outdated institutional structures, it becomes evident that each American plays some role in the broader public responsibility for enabling Trump’s rise, and for the subsequent damage wrought by his administration.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:26:12 +0000'Not logical" As was your post.Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:23:58 +0000Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:23:13 +0000
