  • They are correct in saying I’m privileged, being a middle class white American male is 100% an advantage in life. Doesn’t mean I can’t conceptualize feelings from a different viewpoint.

    North America went from undeveloped to world leader in what, 300 years? Israel and Palestine have been habitated by humans more than 6000 years. Both equidistant from European hubs of industry and innovation.

    So the fact it hasn’t developed into a world leading pair of nations is on the people.


  • Agreed, the bigger stronger countries aren’t mature enough to handle themselves, let alone getting mixed in other conflicts.

    But like who’s the “adult” in this metaphorical dynamic? If there is no mediation, then one of two things will happen

    1. One kills and annexes the other Or 2. They continue to fight until they run out of populace and the whole area falls to irreparable socio-economic ruin.

    I personally vote we let Greenland handle any and all affairs pertaining to this battle. They got a steady reign on things over there.




  • Why not just deploy some dual faithed Messiah figurehead and mesh the two into some Israelistein city state and trick then into getting along?

    Having this past year read the Bible(inc. apocrypha), the quaran(Nobel Eng. Translation), as well as the Torah,Talmud, and a slew of other Hebrew and Ethiopian texts I’ve tried to gain a straightforward understanding of what each person in these faith groups is ‘thinking’ when they argue their point.

    The blinding reality is, it is the fucking. Same. Shit. You can swap entire chunks of the quaran and the new testament, or the Torah and Egyptian creationism and you wouldn’t be able to tell. The same points are being argued for the majority of each cannon, the only difference is the human “prophets” who are “spoken to by higher deities” and we’re supposed to take their word as truth.

    So in short, the Middle East isn’t really fighting a holy war, it’s a sinful human war on holy land?




  • Going to probably be the oddball but I daily drive a Maserati and go with touch everytime. Specifically ‘EverClean’ car wash, a chain that recently started popping up in my area.

    It’s a monthly subscription (another one I know) but for like 15$ unlimited full service washes, and I’ve never had an issue.

    People scoff when I say I take it through auto car washes, but the reality is unless some major cosmetic damage happens, the “swirling” or scratches arent an issue.


  • Police in America: Poopy Diaper Police in other developed countries: Fresh Diaper

    As ACAB as I am, at least the units they seem they will deploy have more than a daycamps worth of training. The problem with militarized forces in these situations is it can aggravate it further if not handled properly.

    I’m looking at you 1985 Phillidalphia MOVE standoff. Even though they weren’t a ‘gang’ but just defying the law together in a non-threatening way; the police took to just bombing the whole city block.

    When you say they should focus on the dissolving of the gangs is exactly correct. Bringing force en masse to combat situational instances won’t stop the problem from growing, you need to strategically remove the kingpins quickly to have the lower echelon fall apart. This also in turn with leaneancy on potential criminal whistleblowers, so those associated already have a ‘scapegoat’ to get out of that environment.

    I could be totally wrong though, this is all based off my perceptions as a Midwest American. I just assume the offenders are members of the same community.
