Do you think this is the first time in history that the working class of a country was derided for their culture?

Do you think those things are mutually exclusive?

I think he should use his I'll gotten influence for good too, but this ain't it. What good does pushing the idea that "bombing shouldn't be allowed" do?

And Israel have been attacking them...

The naivety isn't him saying it, it's him thinking that such a thing could or would ever come to pass, and what such a thing would even mean if it did.

I'm not begrudging the pope using his pulpit to push for morality (though, he is the head of an international criminal organization), I'm begrudging his frankly idiotic approach. Calling it childlike was perhaps me being kind.

If he was somehow successful, what would it mean? Let's say the whole world got together and signed the "we won't bomb anyone" charter. How long until the next bomb fell? Minutes? Hours?

Yeah but it's meaningless. You might as well say shooting people should be banned too

This seems like a rather childlike understanding of war

Exactly. Gun to my head id say there's a 99.999% if we ever discover life outside of earth it will be carbon based life requiring liquid water. But who the fuck knows really

Expecting alien life to look any certain way at all is already a logical flaw. At best we could speculate on likely chemistries and even that would be little more than guesswork

Yeah, they don't even stand by arguably their only consistent value, which is might makes right.

Might makes right until you hit us back, and then you're in the wrong.

True, it was ages ago, were not fighting over the holy land anymore and that area of the world is no longer an intractable religious-political issue shaping the decisions of major nations these days! Thank god

Fair point. As popes go Leo seems like a half decent one. Easy to forget he's the head of an entire country coated in gold, populated exclusively by men in dresses who like to violate little boys.
