@DanzerPanzer69@PoppTerrence Or, here me out, the title of articles are meant to grab attention. If you actually read the article, you'll note the the issues with the study cited in the second article.
@deusdeex@jpvanhoy@HLC_actual Starship troopers was saterizing facism and authoritarianism. Heinlein didnt intend for society to emulate any aspect of the government he imagined and out be pretty pissed off at you if, somehow, you were able to suggest such a thing to his face.
@FelixKorovin@ArielSawicki88@davidsaysstuff_ We all know that Israel has nukes. I think the US has admitted it even if Israel hasn't. Yet, Iran hit Israel directly. Several times. If nukes wont buy Israel deference, why would it by Iran the same?
@CanonBallin@nappyWrlddd@TheAKGuy In the US, it would take a massive change to the constitution for the gov't to legally be able to kill people people on sight and, before that, a massive change in the morals of your fellow citizens. Otherwise, people start hunting the hunters.
@CanonBallin@nappyWrlddd@TheAKGuy You are free to believe that, but as long as your country has laws, then they are legally bound to follow them until they change. Do the work to get them changed. In the US, the treatment of asylum seekers is governed by a treaty we signed onto in 1967. The senate can withdraw.
@ArielSawicki88@davidsaysstuff_ How would a nuke buy them complete deference? And why is the US Iran's greatest enemy? Is the US still pissed that Iran overthrew the guy they chose to rule the country generations ago? Or that they tried to keep their oil profits in country?
@TigerSharkLover@TedNugent "Knows nothing" right. She knows so little that in high school MIT' Lincoln Lab named an asteroid in her honor in recognition of her placement and project in a science competition.
@TedNugent Right?? She didn’t even dodge the draft, get a girl’s parents to sign legal guardianship over to her so she could fuck an underage roadie, or write a song with the lyrics
@RRSport2022@mandymagnan@nickshirleyy Nick Shirley isn't smart enough to know that you cant walk into a daycare with masked, and presumably armed, men and demand to see kids. He also seems to not know that home Healthcare businesses do their main work...in people's homes. What do u think he's gonna do in Spain?
@Crystalgli25608@esjesjesj@NaomiSeibt True, but if he he worked as hard at swimming as I do, there are thousands of people (if not far more) that could beat him. That's my point.
Sports competitions at that level are always down to genetic advantage and a bit of luck. But to get there you gotta work for it.
@Crystalgli25608@esjesjesj@NaomiSeibt Why does that matter? Language changing like that within even a generation is rare and always involves massive violence.
@Crystalgli25608@esjesjesj@NaomiSeibt No one said that it didnt matter, but what do you mean its part of people? When was the last time you thought about proto germanic? Or Latin? How does that affect your daily life?
@Crystalgli25608@esjesjesj@NaomiSeibt No one is born stronger taller more beautiful or healthier. Some have the potential to be those things, but arent yet. And wont be without deliberate choices on their part. For instance, Phelps was born with the genetic potential to be great at swimming, still had to work 4 it.
@Crystalgli25608@esjesjesj@NaomiSeibt You do know that Jewish folk speak a whole host of other languages, right? Some dont even use Hebrew outside the temple.
Anyway, languages change as do cultures. It's literally what they do and have always done. And institution on priorities is why Democracy is important.
