  • The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:

    A Houthi court in Dhamar, Yemen, has sentenced nine people to death on homosexuality charges, according to Amnesty International.

    Checking Amnesty International:

    Yemen: Huthis must stop executions and release dozens facing LGBTI charges On 23 January, the criminal court in Dhamar in northern Yemen sentenced nine individuals to death – with seven sentenced to be executed by stoning, and two by crucifixion – while 23 others were handed prison sentences between six months and 10 years on charges including “homosexuality”, “spreading immorality”, and “immoral acts”. On 1 February, the court of first instance in Ibb in southern Yemen handed death sentences to 13 students and flogging to three others on charges of ‘spreading homosexuality’.

    But without any sources

    The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:

    “Additionally, a Houthi court in Ibb, Yemen, sentenced 13 students to death and three others to flogging for “spreading homosexuality,” according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).”

    When you follow the link it leads to L´OrienteToday, and there are no sources in this web page

    Looked in AFP site: NOTHING

    The article in www.lgbtnation.com puts an image, if you read the caption it says:

    Image released by ISIS showing citizens of Kirkuk stoning the lifeless body of a man executed for being gay.

    This image is from 2016 (seearched with TinEye)

    Kirkuk is in Irak, and ISIS is known for doing this things, but it is not related to the “new”. Where are Yemen images?

    Given that the Houtis are kicking the ass of USA and UK´s Navy these “news” are too convenient. Saudi Arab and UAE used to do this and no news about it, suddenly this “news” about Yemen.

    I do not buy it.




  • “Hamas is the governing body in gaza and must also be bound by international law.” Yes, they should be arrested and put under trail, like germans generals and officers after WWII, some of them were hanged. To do that there are other ways.

    “They must be held accountable for their actions and the actions of their elected leaders.” who are they? even children? Their leaders are in other places, like Qatar, why not carpet bombing there?


  • That is not true, Israel is an state bound by international law, it must respect human rights, can not do this to anyone.

    Hamas is not an state, can be considered a criminal organization and Israel state can fight it inside law limits. No state can, should not (in theory) carpet bombing civilians, killing thounsands of them, including children, in order to kill some hundreds of criminals.

    Israel is an occupying state, palestinians has the right to rise against the Israel state.

    And finally, why are IDF soldiers killing palestinians in Cisjordania?, Hamas is not there, the attacks did not not come from that place.

    Once upon a time there was a company called Hewllet-Packard that made the best programmable calculators, vendors made the best demonstration: hitting the calc against the floor, picked up the pieces, assembled it and it worked again! (almost beat Texas Instrument). The same for printers, pcs, laptops, good mainframes (i learned fortran in a hp3000), almost any Hewlet-Packard electronic product was among the best. In 90s became HP, since then everything they made is a shame.











  • Right, and while in the install process, and the installer detects there is another os in your drive, “tell” the installer (there will be the option to do this) that you want both systems and choose the order of prefered booting. It is the simpler way for a new user.

    I have been using linux since 2000 year and at firts had to learn how to configure lilo to get my cdrom working. When distros changed to grub i quit learning that stuff. Used my time learning other things, like R or chempaint.

    No one should begin tinkering with grub and other sensitive parts of your system, begin with the command line and system tools first.
