It happens to be a fact. There are now so many polar bears that people living nearby are endangered.

Polar bears are not stupid animals, they're opportunistic carnivores who can hunt on the land as well.

you misunderstood the poster (for Europeans only), it's about the "ultra conservative" polish party leader and former prime minister Jarosław Kaczyński

I was only talking about polar bears.

Not really caring about Poland.

Most of the time when the leftwing media calls someone else "ultra-conservative", it means the person is just not as crazy leftwing as the media are.

well, yeah ... being polite, I'd say, he's kust on a "bad trip" since his twin (!) brother was killed on a trip to Russia (Poland's traditional enemy), and now has become a little too much a nationalist & "catholic fundamentalist" (a "catholicism" of the the midde ages, sorta ... ehmm) but since I don't know if you, living in buddhist Japan, are that familiar with the different "flavours" of european catholicism, it's probably hard to explain what's the point here (it's mainly about the seperation of religion & state = secularism, which is mandatory for western style democracies, incorperating freedom of expression, freedom of press, etc.) ... but in Buddhism, you know that, too (e.g. the "problem" with the "Yasukuni shrine")

Japan is a mix of Shinto and Buddhism. It's odd. 85% of Japanese will say they're Buddhist, and 85% of Japanese will say they're Shinto. The contradiction doesn't bother Japanese.

You're referring to the suspicious plane crash, I suppose. I wonder, who was really behind that. I doubt it was the Russians since it was too "convenient" and obvious.

If you understood the meaning of the Yasukuni Shrine, you'd understand why Japanese don't have any problem with it; don't you have war memorials in your nation, then why are Japanese not supposed to have memorials for our dead???

I mentioned the shrine it, because it's pretty much the same problem over here - memorials of dead soldiers are often instrumentalized by certain (fascist) groups, especially if the dead were part of an (fascist) agressor army - and since you know me a bit, you may guess, that not only my left-liberal, pacifist-fundamentalist attitude makes me allergic against any army or veteran memorial (I myself, since the 70s already, I openly propagate desertion, not just in case of war, and call ALL active soldiers "murderer", though it's illegal even in the "free west" to even propagate it, and may lead to a prosecution), especially in Germany, remembrance culture should all & only feature the victims & resisters of the German superpower claims and aggression against their neighbours AND minorities - you may also guess, I expect that from Japanese, too ...

oint: btw, surely conspiracy theories are often justified, but that plane crash is well documented, and in this case, it was probably just the presence of several generals, the president, and especially the supreme commander, who forced the pilot to land despite of the bad weather (it's well documented), and therefore a perfect example of what happens, when soldiers follow the command, even if it obviously leads to a catastrophy (= blind obedience) - for a hippie like me "a sign of maximum stupidity", or in other words: "military" - just to mention!

What one side calls Fascist might not be. Just as rightwingers often label someone as a Commie even when they aren't.

Well documented could also be just well documented cover-up. Applying more paper to cover-thy-arse is an old game, though not as old as the one called Pick Some Dead Bastard To Blame. Have you personally heard the claim supported by cockpit voice recorder, or were you only TOLD was on the CVR?

hey, I'm really glad we can talk now yup, that "fascism"-problem is very true, and I myself, I totally differentiate between "fascism" and "conservatism", not to metion "Stalinism/Maoism/Futurism", which was in my view "pure fascism", too ... same with the so called "Islamic State" (pure fascism, not "Islam" by any means), but we both know, people (like us, hehe) like to provoke with these terms, and there's (hopefully) always at least some evidence that lead to such provocations then be sure, I'm a nice and tolerant guy, but as an artist I can be extremly provocative, especially if I see  sorta "fascist behaviour" anywhere I talk to you, because I don't think you are a "fascist" or alike, not even close, and I have great respect of conservatism that is based upon "real" tradition, like in Japan, though your "usual behaviour" often makes it really difficult to communicate, ehmm ... but I like debating and exchanging ideas, especially if those (young kids at dA, but also those anonymous "professional watchers" one can't reach on "normal channels"), who randomly read along, and perhaps learn something about it and about (poilite) debating generally, and then make their own opinion about the subject!

The Reuters page isn't loading. I just tried a few different browsers too.... weird.

In regards to Fascism, I believe it's applied as a term too loosely. Often people really mean authoritarianism of various kinds, although groups such as Antifa refuse to recognise that they're authoritarians.

Traditions sometimes aren't really as old as people believe either. The traditional "ploughman's lunch" sold in shops in England wasn't tradition at all, but known as such after a marketing campaign. Often someone just has to keep saying something is "tradition" and a bunch of other people will start believing it.

I checked the Reuters page on Google-Cache (well ... yeah, my fave search engine, I don't even try to link it to you anymore, lol ... I btw always prefer Google-Cache "Text-Only", because I'm just interested in text anyway, and it's usually not blocked because of modern pay-barriers of newspapers, or because the site has gone or is blocked for some strange reasons) - I btw just "remembered" that cockpit recording from a TV-documentary about the case, but because you always request "evidence", I checked that on Google just before I linked it - it tells exactly what I remembered - but I even didn't know that Reuters page before ... anyway,t the voice recorder transcription is well known, t lest here in Europe, you should find it elswehere, too) ... perhaps try newipnow.com/ and paste the link there (I use that pretty often to get a "view" from outside Germany, which makes e.g. different Goggle & Co. search results) - "Georgia" usually works fine, I just checked the Reuters link, and succeded - in case you don't succeed, I may provide a screenshot) well, now we can make up a new conspiracy theory, why the heck doesn't Reuters load at your place?

Installed the Yandex browser, that allowed me to finally see the Reuters page.

Here's a problem: " according to what a radio station said was a leaked transcript of cockpit conversations."

Said was a leaked transcript? So maybe it wasn't. Maybe it's something else. This is why I prefer the actual CVR whenever possible.

This bit is weird too: "It said Polish investigators had in February last year used new techniques to decipher parts of the recording provided to them by Russian authorities, which was of such poor quality that it had previously been unintelligible."

Very strange. I've played around with poor quality recordings many times, if something was "previously unintelligible", then the transcript is very likely half-fantasy and guesses. Strange that a CVR would have such poor quality too.

Everything alleged to have been said by the crew then could be entirely fictional.

well, yeah ... in this case there is no doubt that everything is completely speculative remember it happened in Russia I think you're old enough to know what that means = there's absolutely nothing you can rely on, and like in the soviet aera (not to mention that President Putin is a former KGB agent), in case they really needed to get a fully unmanipulated voice recorder tape that would pass any forensics, they surely wouldn't hesitate to crash another plane of the same type, and in case of failure, just repeat it until they succed (just a random idea) in Russia (or former Soviet Union, sic), there's never been any limit with these things (that would btw make a nice plot for a hollywood script, lol), just remember that legendary "Pecker" thingie in Pripyat (Tchernobyl)
