Islamic State orders female genital mutilation in Caliphate-occupied areas of Iraq

When a poster on VJ says "nuke shanghai!", he is not issuing a death threat to the people of shanghai.

Would you like it if someone from Pakistan said, "I think we should nuke all of India"?

And how do you know the person doesn't mean it?

Pakistanis say that on social media all the time.

I don't read it as a death threat. It's idle talk. The online equiv of bar side banter.

Well I don't think VJ as a curated international community should accept death wishes for other nations as normal stuff on their site. So far, they don't, which I am grateful for.

There are plenty of other places where you can wish death on others.

There are other ways to have pointed political talk full of insults, which I know everyone loves, without death threats.

A Muslim buddy on my Facebook went full retard this morning with a long ranty post about Jewbama and Hitler.

I was reading the responses, mostly from people we both know, and they were interesting. Everyone was basically walking on eggshells, telling him he's crazy in the nicest way possible.

But do I think he is actually putting in an order for a bunch of new supersized furnaces? No.

It's just blah blah blah.

And that's fine. It doesn't bother me at all, but I realize it bothers you. And I accept the fact that VJ Moderation gets to make the final call on whether or not it bothers them.

The only point I'm trying to make to you is that idle talk does not = death threats. People mouth off. It happens.
