      Uhmn, that isn't news - that is common knowledge.
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        So Hezbollah's bomb was taken out and you just believe the narrative?

                Even Trump is walking back his lying "attack" comments
                "President Trump on Wednesday hedged his comments from the previous day that the massive explosion in Beirut was caused by a bomb – saying that the blast that left more than 70 dead and thousands injured could have been an accident."

                    The coverage on Ars Technica is pretty thorough:
                    https://arstechnica.com/science/2020...sion-in-beirut

                    2.75ktons of ammonium nitrate confiscated off a ship 7 years ago.

                    It seems like some fireworks were stored nearby, and some welding work done to avoid thieving lit a fire, which spread to the fireworks and then lit the ammonium nitrate.

                    The grain silos right next to the warehouse stored ~85% of the countries grain stores. Bread prices have already gone up.

                    Reportedly, 300k people have been left homeless.

                      What the f**k is wrong with you Kid? Are you an apologist for any retarded comment said or just for Trump in particular? The factors leading up to this catastrophe are clear...but this is where stupid conspiracy theories send everyone astray. It's the cost-cutting, the greed and the negligence behind this disaster which needs to be investigated. And it's all well and good holding those responsible to account but again, it's a systemic failure that is so prevalent in the world.

                        Right, so nevermind about Hezbollah's bomb making material. You would make a fine cop.

                          I think it's time for you to join the ignore list with your crackpot nonsense.

                            I'm not pushing a conspiracy theory. I'm saying there's reason to be suspicious.

                            First learn the difference between the two then maybe you can tolerate people speaking normally.

                              No there isn't, you're just peddling something you've watched on YouTube. So kindly go away, the grown ups are trying to talk now.
