Do not taunt happy fun ball.

Not if you pay attention to the right journalists.

Are good places to start.

Soldiers that were legally and morally obligated to refuse the orders to strike the water supply.

You would have argued the guards at the concentration camps shouldn’t have been prosecuted.

“Just following orders” is not a legal defense against accusations of committing war crimes.

Wrong post, sorry.

Stupid, I guess?

Art and culture are dependent on technology and social norms.

We sure as shit haven’t explored all possible cultural norms and, absent a climate apocalypse, have not reached the height of technology.

Like, imagine if we could move stars, for an extremely sci-fi example. Imagine if we had a war with xenomorphs? What would the fear of being used by a parasitic species generate art-wise? What kind of celebrations would be created when/if we won?

Art and culture are expressions of human emotion and experiences. We sure haven’t experienced everything, nor felt everything it is possible to feel.

When I was 16, I woke up in the middle of the night hearing something funny. I opened my bedroom door, and all I could see was smoke so thick it was like a solid curtain at the door.

I went out my bedroom window and to the front of the house where it was on fire. I realized my dad wasn’t with me, so I went back in, woke him up, and got him out.

We put the fire out ourselves with a garden hose with a super high pressure nozzle. The fire ended up only burning two rooms. When we went back inside the next day, I thought at first that the house was absolutely covered in spider webs dyed with soot. Nope, it was the smoke forming chains of carbon. Everything above a certain height ( about a foot from the ceiling)in the house was melted and destroyed from the smoke even though only two rooms burned.

The insurance people took everything that wasn’t destroyed and treated it with ozone to remove the unbearable stench. Including my hidden porn (I’m old enough this was physical paper) and tried to rat me out to my dad. He didn’t care though and told them to treat it and put it back where they found it.

They’re intentionally set up to be unable to resist Israel.

Hezbollah is designed to fight israeli aggression.

The Lebanese army will never be able to fight hezbollah, because of the two above sentences.

Am I reading this comment correctly that you think institutions used to prop up the ‘lost cause’ mythology of a bunch of cowardly traitors should receive funding from the state in the form of tax immunity through non profit status?

Technically that is basically what all trees are.

Trees are the crabs of the vegetable world.

Allen Dulles.

It’s pretty apparent you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and I’m not going to waste any more time.

Try reading stuff from sources other that what you are, it’s not serving you well.

We don’t disagree. You are factually wrong. I’m not saying that it isn’t an authoritarian state. It absolutely is.but the simple fact of the matter is that the Ayatollah isn’t involved most decisions. His power mostly came into play with selecting who could run in their elections, which absolutely are real with the opposing sides running having significant political differences.

Did he get to set the goal posts for their parties? Yes, absolutely, and that isn’t a full on true democracy. But the Iranian civilians have far far more say in their government than a civilian Russian, for example.

Moreover, you’re debating all of this shit in ignorance to move the topic away from the fact the Iran didn’t have nukes SOLELY because the leader was religiously opposed to them. The religious leader the US and Israeli’s killed. While proving that they are unreliable negotiators.

The only rational view at this point for the average Iranian is to demand nukes.

No, you’re not.

You’re arguing by title to ignore the points made like a sophist. That is explicitly rude, while trying to pretend it isn’t.

Bad faith responses deserve nothing other than the reflection of the rudeness they project.

Stop ignoring everything else I wrote you fucking propaganda poisoned jackass.

Isn’t the president the executive branch?

Jesus Christ, do you have any critical thinking skills?

Because Iran wasn’t a dictatorship.

It had factions.

You know how Iran was always months away from nukes? It was. That was the hard liner faction who believed that only nukes would ensure Iran’s safety wanting to be able to quickly have one if the fatwa was removed.

Did you not know this? If not, you should stop watching/reading the new sources that didn’t tell you this widely available information. They’re not new sources but propaganda sources.

There is no brain worm. That was made up by RFK Jr in court with no medical evidence provided to justify giving no alimony to his ex wife. He them blackballed her in their small community so she had to beg. She eventually committed suicide.

He then stole her body from here family to bury it on the Kennedy plot.

In this thread: people mistaking NRE for “true love”

Love is as much a time based thing as it is work/romance/sex/chemical.

It involves seeing the other person at their weakest and being there to help them, and vice versa. It involves seeing them mistreat you, but you know why because you know them and their triggers and forgiving them. (That last bit can be confused with forgiving abusers, which is not the same. If someone physically hurts you, it isn’t love, and contrition is a required step.)

It involves giving them freedom to make mistakes and hurting themselves and being there to help them up.

It is so much more that delineating it down to ’ I must love them cause I’m not sexually attracted to anyone else right now’ is a cheap and sad way of describing love.

I’m conflicted here.

That employee is a bad fucking person, who shouldn’t be discriminated against because they are trans, but they are working for a bad organization that does bad stuff.

I’m not sure I would care for the rights of an ICE agent?

I guess you should fight against the discrimination so it doesn’t hurt others but also they fucking work for the NSA.

You literally just redefined the word ‘tankie’ when called out for your shitty definition of it.

Also George Washington was a leftist extremist to the British monarchy.
