Sure. But normally a headline tells you who did what. That’s the point of a headline.

Active sentence construction is one of the first skills they teach in journalism.

“Carcinogens Cause Cancer in Cows” not something useless like “Cancer is Caused In Cows.”

Sorry I misinterpreted you! :-)

why didn’t he run away sooner? Usually perpetrators escape after the abuse

No, they don’t. Statistically the majority of rapes are by people who know the victim personally. In cases of intimate partner rape the perpetrator does not typically “run away from” his wife or girlfriend etc afterwards.

It doesn’t sound reasonable. Its argument is neoliberal economics at its worst:“we don’t want countries to be able to control their own domestic food markets because we want them to be forced to take our exports”, only counched in paternalistic We Know What’s Best For You rhetoric.

Or use pixelfed.

“Settlers” isonly weird to you if you discount all the other times settler colonialists stole land and committed ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Well wallah.

Your kid is called The Expanse?

Acceptable.

Bit of an emotional rollercoaster for the poor guy.

Shark attack.

But I escape.

But my leg is now missing.

But hey my leg just washed up.

I would actually watch dressage if it only had pantomime horses.

That country is sleepwalking into full fascism.

“Civil war” is a ridiculously polite way of putting it. It’s an attempted genocide.

He got the Peace Prize for his alliance with Eritrea, the North Korea of Africa.

He them teamed up with Eritrea to genocide some of his own countrymen in north Ethiopia.

Polio used to kill or paralyse about a million people a year. It is highly infectious and once you get it, it has no cure.

The world had almost suceeded in eradicating polio. It is easily preventable with vaccination. The fact that it is likely to be allowed to roam through the population of Gaza is disgusting.

The killer was pretty obviously insane. He was making a sacrifice to a demon which he thought would allow him to win a lottery. He’s also in jail for life.

I can see it could be harder to forgive someone with no real excuse who just violated your dead daughters’ privacy for clout.

Well that’s annoying. No more wearing Adidas.

This part broke me.

“The dog attacked him, biting his chest and then his hand. Muhammed didn’t speak, only muttering ‘No, no, no.’ The dog bit his arm and the blood was shed. I wanted to get to him but I couldn’t. No-one could get to him, and he was patting the dog’s head saying, ‘enough my dear enough.’ In the end, he relaxed his hand, and the dog started tearing at him while he was bleeding.”

I look forward to watching the Hasbara trolls try to discredit one of the world’s leading STEM research journals.

One of the largest countries in the world and a hell of a lot of ethnic diversity, so it’s hard to make generalizations. Kerala and, say, UP are very different. But here’s my attempt.

Geopolitically as an entity it’s currently suffering from some of the same things the world’s other largest countries (China, US, Indonesia) are suffering from - namely: populist leaders and a large group of poorly educated people in the population propping them up.

Consequently there is way too much militant nationalism and complacency about aggression towards other nations, territorialism, persecution of certain ethnic minorities, religious fundamentalism. All the biggest countries have those traits at the moment, so it’s not specifically a reflection on India.

In terms of resource and development it’s dealing with a similar situation to other ex colony LICs - years of resource exploitation left it with a low GDP per capita and consequently major challenges when it comes to provision of infrastructure (eg pollution management), health, education, living standards etc.

India has made huge strides in the past but the current wave of populism relies on leveraging social conflict (as it does elsewhere in the eorld) so I think that growth has slowed. For the same reason the fault lines along ethnic, religious, caste lines - which colonialism entrenched or deepened within the region - are still a big aspect.

My personal experiences with Indian people is that just like from anywhere else there are good and bad. Cultured, well educated people are easier to deal with because there is more shared knowledge. Statistically speaking, many of the world’s worst arseholes you are going to meet are going to be from India, China and the US, and that holds up.

When I think of genocide, it comes to mind images of some evil dictator using poison gas in a population, chemical weapons, an atomic bomb, etc.

That’s just lack of education on your part, though. Neither the Cambodian Genocide nor the Rwandan Genocide would be a genocide according to you, but in reality these were two of the worst genocides in the last 50 years.

Come to think of it, neither would the Bosnian Genocide according to you, because it mainly targeted males for execution.

then cry genocide

The people who are “crying genocide” are those of us in the international community who know what a geenocide is, including experts in international law.
