That and they just stay there active, decades after the conflict. There are still minefields from decades old conflicts that kill/injure people today.

It's honestly no worse than dropping bombs on them. They don't have to deal with the explosive shock blowing out their ear drums either. It's way more escapable than sudden explosions happening all around you.

Besides.... if you invade a country you're down with death. A bunch of the soldiers use rape and attack civilians as well, so my concern for their well being dried up a long time ago.

That's actually not the problem with chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are banned due to their indiscriminate nature (being blown by the wind) and really the fact that it causes slow deaths over years. It's that it's tantamount to torture (which is also banned).

Blowing people's limbs off is considered A-OK as long as it's not done with land mines.

As a person with 3 cats, I get what you're saying. You're getting down voted, but we all know cats can devistate local wild life populations.

Rescuing them and making them indoor cats is the responsible thing to do, but I don't think any vegans would argue with that.

I think its after those establishing facts that the discussion is taking place.

I personally am not a fan of any breeding programs when there are so many cats and dogs available to rescue, but that's just me.

Eh, that's pretty metal. What I like about it is that it's not some chemical weapon that floats on the air to hiteveryone in the vicinity. You will see where you are hitting clearly because it's like a bright tracer round. And it'll cause more injuries than deaths.

You almost have a sporting chance to get away once it's started compared to the relatively sudden chaos of explosions.

I had a friend wrapping gifts in the free maps you could grab at the post office and library. Those always looked cool.

They eat hella fruit off my fruits trees. And when I say eat, I mean take 3 bites and drop it on the ground to grab a new one and take 3 bites.

They waste 50 apricots to eat 3 apricots.

Until I started taking all the ground fruit and boiling it in a pot to make fruit juice for brandy distilling, it was a complete waste. Now it's still wasteful, because I'd rather eat the fruit, but at least I recover something from it.

Fuck squirrels.

I totally agreed when I was younger but over the years I've grown to appreciate when the game makes me play a "suboptimal" class/job. I learn to love some of the quirky characters because they make me try them.

When I'm given all the jobs I compulsively try to level them all because I'm broken that way.

Thank you! That was an informative article. It's like we are giving them Raytheon gift cards every year. This makes sense, as it's the military industrial complex doing what it do. More blood for the blood gods, etc.

What I think is interesting from the break down is how they are supposed only use it for defense, but then when we go "hey I don't think you are using that for defense!" We don't stop handing out the gift cards.

Also when we were struggling to get congressional approval to give them more gift cards, we let them raid our munitions cookie jar we had been storing with them in case we needed it for the past 40 years.

It sucks, but I can understand why the US is so reluctant to give up their only long term ally in the region, who's supported us in our unreasonable conflicts against immense global backlash. We also use them to funnel more taxpayer money to military contractors which are spread all over the US, financially benefiting many states in the process.

As always it's all about the money.

I don't really understand what weapons our government is sending Isreal. Is it that we just aren't canceling their contracts with our weapons manufacturers? Or we arent banning exports of weapons?

Our government doesn't actually make weapons, we give contracts to companies to make them and have limits on who else can buy. Isreal doesn't need our hand-me-downs.

Having managed a supermarket for about 6 years, I can tell you it's because of the service, consistent quality and variety of choices. Their service model is similar to many of the larger bread vendors in that they sell via consignment. So you only buy what you open to sell, and they take back anything that expires or looks dodgy. Their sales reps maintain your inventory and place your orders, really saving you alot of time and reducing your risk.

That might be a you thing. Pictures of water dont make me thirsty. I get the metaphor you are attempting to make though.

It's fairly broadly believed that strong male influences benefit a child greatly, but males are looked at with huge skepticism if they attempt to enter most forms of childcare as a profession.

Yup, that's my stance 100%

I can understand it but that's not the real question is it? The question posed was why one person was treated differently by the courts than the other.

The answer was because one person attacked their active abuser in self defense while the other escaped,then months later, in an act of revenge, planned and executed their murder and arson.

Of course, another key difference is that she took a plea deal. Which means she never actually went to trial. Her legal team knew self defense was never gonna fly either.

Read your damn source. You posted it. It's obvious they are completely different.

Reminds me of the time I visited Penns Cave in PA. It was cool. It's traversed by boat and part of the tour now is about how much damage running the tours over the century damaged the cave. It's kinda meta.

My favorite part is when they show you "the chimes" and talk about how tours used to tap them to make a spectacular noise during the tour and how they took millions of years to form but now they're all broken because we are all dumb monkeys.

Yes. It's making fun of people like me who are completely incapacitated for a day when I get a migrane/fever but get hit by some random thing and start bleeding and just shrug it off.

Women get lots of practice being miserable and carrying on with their menstrual cycles, while guys like me generally feel fine for monthes at a time, with normal aches and pains, then just fall apart with the sniffles.

It's a relatable truth/joke in alot of relationships.

The restaurant is not Disney owned, but a business located within a Disney property. Think like a panda express at a mall food court. The person's estate is suing the mall because the restaurant didn't follow their allergen guidelines. Those guidelines also being posted on the mall website.

LOL they were just throwing beers out at the audience from the stage while promoting their beer. Pretty foreseeable. Also barely news.
