Well shit was it four or was it five?

I sort of agree it’s a good idea but c’mon, the worst trip anyone I know has ever had was just a lot of crying and sadness.

This dude chopped off his dick. That’s not the mushrooms doing.

Mushrooms did not induce anyone to cut their dick off. What an absurd statement. Dude was already fully psychotic, as anyone who has eaten mushrooms can tell you.

This is why you have to install the latest software updates on your license plate. One time I let my gas cap firmware get outdated and someone downloaded my car.

Everything I don’t understand is posted by a paid troll.

Grow up.

Highschool only then?

Not every relevant expert says that. So…shows how much you know. No surprised that you’ve misunderstood by arguments as racism. Ideologicalism, maybe, and so what?

Comparisons to Nazi Germany are idiotic. How far did you go in school?

I don’t find it ridiculous at all to prevent a fledgling democracy, the only one for a thousand miles in any direction, and our ally, from being overrun by radical pan-Islamism, which is antithetical to human and civil rights, and an ideology that needs to be left in the trash heap of history. Literally has no place in modern society. In fact, I find the future of the world’s democracies to be closely tied to the good fortune of all mankind

Check the signatories to South Africa’s complaint to the UN. With the exception of South Africa and Ireland, every one of them is a far right theocracy with either a dictator or monarchy in charge, zero recognition for basic human rights. Check the complaint: filled of circular reasoning and citations to unsourced Al Jazeera articles. See if they can prove up their claims when the evidentiary trial take place. Got a whole long list of unverified allegations from Qatari state run media and practically nothing else.

Blah blah blah everything I don’t like is evil.

No, these are the evil people, violent religious extremists. Launching thousands of rockets a month indiscriminately at civilians. That’s the atrocity. Spending all that money on rockets while their own people are malnourished and uneducated because every every institution and natural resources was converted to instrumentalities of Iranian state-sponsored terrorism. Grow up.

As long as the people don’t get killed by bombs, your fine with how they live their lives; no civil rights, no human rights, no legit legal system, no social safety nets, rule by assassination. Go over to to these places you are about so deeply and suggest they have an election. See if you don’t literally get stoned to death for infidelity to the word of an imaginary god. That’s evil.

It’s not millions of people living and dying, generation after generation, knowing nothing but hopelessness and anger, wrought on them by their own deranged leadership, and their own deranged world view. That, you’e fine with continuing, just as long as you don’t have to see it in the news. I think that makes you not just evil, but also ignorant and shortsighted. Childish really.

True. they certainly were countries.

When it’s your neighbor, though, and they launch 1,000 rockets at you every month, your assessment of the situation will probably be most up to date. The land is your border, after all. And if lawlessness spills over, That certainly can be cause for just war.

?

Too bad Israel has a far-right government in charge that won’t do anything to stop these illegal settlements. I hope they get thrown out in the next election.

There is zero hope the far right leadership gets voted out in any of the territory at issue except Israel, so that’s worth nurturing, not smothering in its crib.

Under Trump the US for the first time ever declared many of the settlements LEGAL. Just another of the ways Trump contradicted long-standing foreign policy.

I’m not a translator but I’m not going to read into that one noun form. The next sentence refers to certain areas within their borders, and everyone knows exactly where he’s talking about. For the last year there’s been 1,000 rockets a month launched indiscriminately at Israel. Not hard to step out where they’re coming from, right? Before that, it was dozens, hundreds, or sometimes also tousands, months to month.

I’m sure you can find some maps of territory held by terrorists in the region and which countries sponsor and ally with them, and which ones designate them as such. Terrorists don’t get to have a state.

Lol.

No. The men that run these places want to live like it’s the year 800. They struggle because they govern by assassination and religious fiat. More power to them; world needs all types. Really just two rules, though: don’t try and export any of that bullshit or force it on anyone else, and at least, make a good faith effort to take care of the basic needs of the people: some public or subsidized utilities and infrastructure for food, water, and energy, some form of a healthcare system, and some system of law that’s at least capable of protecting human rights of the people, capable of policing corruption and conflicts of interest. Far right, extreme religious monarchies and dictatorships, have a real hard time with both rules; especially extremists don’t wear uniforms and who use women and kids as cannon fodder. If they can’t project any legitmate justice and peace to the territory they claim, and it gets overrun with armed religious psychopaths on a pan-national religious conquest, that’s fair game for military action.

Like, it’s not trespassing to go onto your neighbor’s land, right up to the front door, break it down with an axe while screaming, and then blast everyone inside with water, if’n their house is on fire and spreading to yours. This is natural law, no?

As I understand it, some of the settlers have a little military training, but mostly they are as you would expect, very uneducated poor people from very remote places who don’t know anything else, and that’s on both sides of the borders. Too bad Israel has a far-right government in charge that won’t do anything to stop these illegal settlements. I hope they get thrown out in the next election.

It’s not the country’s he’s talking about. It’s the little areas of remote territory along Israel’s borders, that while technically part of those countries, they don’t resemble a country at all. There is no legit government. There is no law enforcement. There are no courts of law. They are essentially unincorporated territories held variously by local militias and tribes.

If Lebanon and Syria want to claim this territory as part of their country, they have to actually make it a part of a country, bring it under the jurisdiction of their law. Be legitimate leadership. Work towards the betterment of the people whose charge they claim.

Israel is not going to let it be surrounded by lawless territory that Iran uses to stage attacks against Israel, certainly not while Iran is over there trying to cook up nuclear material to make dirty bombs.

If you took even fifteen seconds to actually listen to the argument that’s being made, instead of only half, understanding it and rushing to an emotional judgment, you’d realize it doesn’t sound like The Onion at all. It’s an argument made by people all over the world, especially as to Gaza, for example, and, guess what? It’s a legit argument.

Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, and sort of Syria, are not quite failed States, because they do still have a seat of power within their countries, and they do project that power to a limited extent. But they do not project it into these lawless border territories. And so when you have essentially gangs and terror cells, pretending to be legitimate political entities, how many suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and mass shootings must your neighbors abide before they bring their law to your territories? FAFO.

The historical term for such territories is irredenta, meaning unredeemed or unclaimed.

That too.

The dude is obviously lying about the cyber truck and where he got it.

It’s like a brag that he’s showing he has this American vehicle, that he’s turned into a fighting machine to use against America’s proxy, and it’s even more of a brag to suggest he got it directly from Elon Musk as a gift of honor.

I don’t know if Elon is really stupid enough to give a vehicle to somebody under sanctions, maybe he did. Maybe he didn’t. I would bet that he did not. I would bet that the Cyber truck was gifted to someone else or purchased legitimately by someone else, and then given to this general or possibly even stolen by the general, and claimed it as a gift, because you know how these delusional “war lords” are.

Hence not needing to pay rent.

Several pandas are in the US, on loan from China, and I think we may be paying rent on some.

Is it really a zoo or just some side show act charging $5 to see pandas in their back yard?
