There are legitimate uses like health information campaigns (vaccination campaigns, anti smoking campaigns) and other informatio campaigns.

Advertising is probably a misnaming.

Yes but life expectancy has been rising in those countries despite worse diets and obesity rising. So it seems access to healthcare is a stronger factor.

So what does that mean? Did you expect Reiser to kill his wife? Do you expect this guy to kill somebody?

Probably. My point is that I was very confused by the original claim (officials deciding whether people are jewish or not) and the following comments drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany.

OP's claim was that official call anti-zionist Jews 'allegedly Jewish' (ostensibly actually, a synonym) and that they decided if they are "bad" or "good" Jews. It seems obvious to me from the choice of words as well as the punctuation he is not referring to official acts but bias of the official. Which may well affect their official decisions.

If it’s not relevant, then why quote it? In any case it tells me something about the quality of the article.

Are the communities not the ones referred to by the commissioner in his defense? That makes them relevant. If the article is wrong that you have to be part of such a community to be "officially" Jewish it's irrelevant, the issue is that the commissioner tried to defend his position by appealing to them.

You are much quicker to attack the OP, the article, me than the commissioner.

You could perhaps read the first part as that, a matter of % of Jewish people in an organization rather than one of 'true' Jewishness of the members identifying as Jews. Your reading is very generous to him.

But from the second commend it's obvious it's the latter. He is attacking the Jewishness of Jewish members of that organization. That he does it en mass does not make it better.

I don't have time to learn German to read your source, in an English based discussion. It is not relevant that it is wrong. The commissioner tried to use it to defend his position that they are ostensibly Jewish. Actually being wrong makes it worse as he should know better or he is lying.

Blume was embroiled in a small scandal after he referred to Jüdische Stimme as “ostensibly Jewish” on Twitter

Blume demurred, claiming that, while he was happy to accept anyone’s self-definition as Jewish as a matter of personal religious freedom, he was not sure whether the group’s members counted as members of the Jewish religious communities that are legal partners of the German state

In Germany, membership in religious communities is regulated by state-designated institutions, meaning that to be officially Jewish, one must join the Jüdische Gemeinde, the state-affiliated Jewish community

A requirement to assume a major office a person has been elected to should be part of the constitution. Otherwise Biden would not have been in power for sure, perhaps not even Obama.

You do know Hans Reiser murdered his wife right?

It's very improbable that this guy will also murder someone despite being an asshole. You should probably get your vibes re-calibrated if it conflates murder with flame wars.

I used wikipedia's data that is sourced from UNODC and is apparently for 2021. For states the size of the UK it doesn't really matter, fluctuations are small. Any given year the US will have ~6 times the homicide rate of the UK.

As with all EU policy, the purpose is to make the USA look bad. This is the only reason Russia is not even in the EFTA or the EU.

I have insider information that powers are play are trying to engineer a way to kick out Latvia to make the statistics more embarrassing to you.

PS: UK 1.48, Switserland Not a country, Russia 6.8, Belarus 2.32, Ukraine 3.84 pre-war, Moldavia 2.27 USA 6.38

I don't think adding Russia will make the difference you think it will, since it's barely more violent than the US.

Torrents aren't a piracy technology. A lot of Linux distros, especially non corp backed, are distributed via torrents since its more efficient.

There were no horses in America, there were evolutionary ancestors of horses that would not be able to fulfill any horse role.

Just like zebras are not horses and wolves not dogs. They would obviously not be owned by Native Americans nor would the Native Americans have a remarkable body of knowledge about them (like they developed with actual horses).

Horses were bred to be big and strong enough in Central Asia.

It's not fear it's hatred and a boost to their ego.

A Russian defeat would again deprive NATO of purpose.

Doubt it. He ranks low on the color chart.

They need to ban them from forking the browser. Google has the ability to get people to install the new Google totally-not-chrome browser. Especially if they keep Android as well.

The EU should mandate support for its native alphabets (probably via Unicode) for IT service providers that provide services in the EU.

You can't read can you?

I did not deny that I question your atheism. I clarified that it is not due to you reading the bible but due to your defence of Christianity.

I am not doubting that you are an atheist because you 've read the bible (after all I wrote in my last post that I 've also read it) but because of your Christianity apologia.

As usual you answering a strawman and not me.
