| He’s not stupid. He likely knows much more about the fanbase than you give him credit for given the nature of his career, especially how much time he spent traveling for Star Wars during and post production as well as for fan-related events. It seems like he and his fellow actors put thought into w... |

| Anyway I support John Boyega's free speech and I get where's coming from. it's not fair that certain actors like John, Moses, Amandla, Rose and Ahmed get hate for whom they are, not their craft. I also get its easy to react and lump the fandom into one bucket. Yes, John did say "they". I t... |

| But you failed to demonstrate that your insights are any better than CD's. I agree with Boo, this is a news thread, not a philosophy/morality/ethics thread From my own perspective I have tried to look at "insights" into the Israel's motivations because otherwise (from what I have seen) th... |

| What is now certain is Tehran’s possession of at least 400kg of uranium enriched to 60 per cent concentrations of the isotope U-235. And that means it was just weeks of extra processing away from reaching levels suitable for missile-mounted warheads. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/mil... |

| Israel causes at least as much instability to it's region as North Korea or Pakistan do. Israel has engaged in far more offensive actions against it's neighbours, not just sabre-rattling as worst Korea has engaged in but actual attacks.

| Referring to Iran's leadership as a a doomsday cult seems extreme. I'd like to know why you consider them to be a uniquely irrational doomsday cult that's less able to be trusted with nukes than say Israel, North Korea or Pakistan. Your comparison of Israel to North Korea and Pakistan isn't valid. ... |
