World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This doesn't make sense. There have been public executions and torture all over the world for centuries, and yet murder and rape were much more frequent than now.
Ofc crime will go down as people get more educated, but crime is still too high, the reason it was so high before is that people though that ‘honour killing’ is completely fine and that rape is a way to show dominance and that women are inferior, but look at today countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE, even if the laws are not strictly imposed, crime is low, it might also a get a bit lower if people start changing their somewhat conservative mindset, our first priority is to tell people that this is wrong, I am tired of repeating the same thing again and again to people but I am not saying death penalty is right in every case, if someone is insane, not educated, then they should surely be given rehab, but people who are well aware of what they are doing and kill for their own benefit should not be given the same leniency (see corporations for eg, and bill gates, who purposely killed millions by privatizing vaccine, all of them are very well aware of what they are doing, and killing for their own benefit, these are the type of people that should be made an example), crime is also low in countries where people are very well educated, but I am sure we can make almost non existent if we combine both, make an example of someone who rapes children for their own pleasure or take someone elses life to make their own a little bit better
Making an example, as you say, is the opposite of the idea of justice
Holy shit how are there people this ignorant out there in the world. Not one period in the entire post.
