Classic nonsense. You can also start with Colombus, but at the current time your government is not restricting your internet access so that you can express your opinions, and is not executing you for these opinions either.

every innocent death is a tragedy. you're just selecting which ones to advance your opinion.

Your "facts" proved my point.

Every emotional decision is a decision.

Fact1: Iran executed tens of thousands of citizens over political opposition since the start of this year, and is still executing others today. Fact2: Iran has cut off its population from the internet.

Can you find equivalent facts from USA to justify the parallels you are drawing?

Propaganda based on selective use of facts

you get emotional over one specific type of propaganda

I'd ask the same question of you (except all the emotional stuff)

Saying Iran has a better international reputation than the United States is a massive stretch, but yes, this is emotional decision making.

is that so?

His spokesperson said Londoners only wanted to see public money being paid to companies that “share the values of our city”.

I wander if they'd care to further elaborate on that.

The fact that certain people have such strong opinions about the recently released Grokipedia tells me the grok is actually on to something.

with Poetry, the onus is still on the reader to get something out of it, even in the west. I recently read "Pale Fire". (without the preface and Nabukov's commentary). I enjoyed it thoroughly, without understanding a lot, which is fine.

You can say the same thing about banning guns (although I just realized that's a bit of a stretch) If people acted responsibly we would not need to ban guns.

That's why geocoding is HARD. Try "3 Adne Edle Street, London" on Bing maps, Google Maps, Openstreetmap, Geocode.xyz - and more.

Or even better, try "Minus Two, Woodend Lane, Cam, Stroud"

No two geocoding services agree on the correct answer.
