  • Rare polar bear shot dead by police in Iceland after being thought a threat

    Jump

  • Since my comment was removed for trolling (I wasn't trolling, it was just sarcasm), I will rephrase it. If we accept the premises that any polar bear that is a threat should be killed and every polar bear is inherently a threat, then the conclusion is that every polar bear should be killed. I reject the first premise and conclusion.

  • How do you know?

    The articles I have read only say that the woman saw it outside her house. There was no indication that it had attempted anything other than rummage through garbage. And the police had to travel about 30 km by boat to get there, so the response time couldn't have been quick

    Please show me a map of where it was found in relation to places where people live.

    Well, another article says it was in Höfðaströnd There are only a few buildings there and spread far apart, so the only relevant person is the one woman.

    How do you know this was actually doable?

    They attempted it before so they thought it was doable. There was a commission to decide how to handle polar bears in the future and all they said was that it cost too much.

    And they should be forced to bear a cost burden they can’t afford?

    It didn't say that they couldn't afford it, just that they wouldn't pay for it. (You keep rephrasing things in a way that was not intended to try to make your position stronger. That's called a strawman argument. You should stop that.) And they seem to be getting a lot of complaints from Icelanders that are upset that they killed the bear, so it probably wouldn't be forced, but something that many Icelanders would be willing to pay.

  • There was no hurry. It could have been captured and released back in Greenland, but Iceland won't do that because of the cost, so they just kill it. How much would you be willing to contribute to prevent a polar bear from being killed?

  • The new deaths bring the total reported so far by various countries to 577, according to an AFP tally.

    The do cite their source.

    At least 60 Jordanians also died, the diplomats said, up from an official tally of 41 given earlier on Tuesday by the Jordanian government.

    Do you think it's impossible that 41 people could die, reported on, and then more people die?

  • The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:

    You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*****, n*****, n*****.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*****”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*****, n*****.”

    This is the foundation of the current Republican party. There is nothing redeemable.
