People are neither inherently selfish or inherently generous. People are survivors regardless of what is necessary to do so. A human will give the shirt off his back to his neighbor but will spite a customer service worker because they're in a bad mood or feel slighted. Your tribe is your most important social aspect
All they have to do is sit and wait. The Middle East still produce around 50% of the world's oil. If those countries have proven anything, it's that they're smart and resilient. Someone somewhere is going to want what they have and they could sell it for whatever cost they see fit. All they would have to do is keep their heads down and wait
My prediction is that if Trump does win, there will be a civil war within the next 4-10 years. Each side will get backing from separate national groups. Except middle eastern countries (with the exceptional of Israel). They'll probably just sit back and watch the US burn. And staying in that state-of-mind, that would have the potential to spark WWIII.
There's a lot of people that can't see reason through their self-righteousness. And when they begin berating people because they don't believe or support a cause precisely to their standard, then they themselves are no longer supporting the cause, but just trying to feed their own ego. Those people are not people you need in your life
Because he's a hypocrite. His platform is on family values, but says things like "women who get abortions can't keep their skirts down". Even though his wife has had an abortion and now apparently either has cheated on his wife or prepared to. He can't keep it in his pants.
He referred to himself as a black nazi, and is into trans porn. That in itself isn't an issue, however he's a republican whom do not support trans rights
What the hell were you doing bringing up illegal things then? That's not what the topic was about and it seems like a deflection. Illicit substances are ILLICIT for any age, so I don't see what your argument is now. Just seems sarcastic and opposing
or e.g. potentially harmful products, such as power tools without certain currently legally mandated safety features if the buyer is an adult? Are you allowed to sign away certain rights that you are currently not allowed to sign away, e.g. should an adult be allowed to sign themselves over to slavery without the possibility to undo it?
I have no clue what you were getting at with the drugs, but depending on the circumstance, teenagers that are of the age to enlist can do certainly do these things. I went through two furloughs where I didn't get paid on deployment and didn't get compensation. In fact, at one point my checks were garnished because my admin screwed up on per diem when I initially had them check everyday before my transfer to make sure the money was right. They got so pissed at me that their chief told me to not approach their office again with this issue, and they fucked me anyway. I owed around $5000 to the Department of The Treasury because they told me the leftover monet wasn't an error and that I could go on with my life. That was wrong. And what was I supposed to do? Not do my job? If I would have done that, I would have got an NJP which would have costed me 50% of the 25% that was already garnished. So how is that not slavery or at the very least indentured servitude?
And let me make it clear, I signed the contract that said, "You're officially government property." we pay you as long as you do what you're supposed to do. I did what I was supposed to do and got fucked anyway. I couldn't pay my rent or bills, so the utilities reached out to my command and I got fucked even more. I had to go to financial management training and was barred from living out in town. You telling me that's justified?
And with power tools, if you seem like you have a brain in your head, the military will throw you power tools. 17, 18, 19. Doesn't matter
Then try idle games
