i think the answer is pretty simple, they dehumanized palestinians to the point where this is like shooting game for them - a hobby.

Coercion into having kids due to government pressure or social norms seems a whole lot more wrong to me.

as someone who does not want kids and is constantly being pressured into it by inlaws, thank you for saying this. Every time i see my screaming, trantrum throwing nephews my belief is more reinforced.

I am genuinely curious if kim et al. actually believes this "norh korea is the main enemy of south korea and the world" or is it just propaganda and they are aware that the world doesn't give a rat's ass about north korea, as long as they leave us alone.

I heard russians make excellent fertilizer.

Possibly. It has been like 10 years ago since I last flew through dubai though, so things might have changed.

how exactly do you objectively decide that? please, specify the methodology, I'd love to hear it. If anything, the crime should be based on what makes it stick, which usually means proportional to the wealth. Obviously the higher the standard in the country the higher the fines are going to be, and that standard is pretty damn high in dubai.

e.g. if you're living in india where everything is objectively cheap for people in the west and you visit germany, get a 500 eur speeding fine, you cannot just cry "it's not proportional to my standards!!11!1".

proportional to what exactly? to your poor ass, or to the rich dubai native? I would say the latter, because, you know, it happened in dubai.

punishemnt should be high enough so that next time he will think twice before he's abusive. He was warned first, he said he didn't care. He got a fine, he wasn't happy with it either. So he's in jail. I think it's all perfectly fair. I bet my left nut he will never again be abusive to the staff in dubai.

I find it absolutely shocking how many people here are siding with the abusive asshole. 🙄
