Bernie is 83 and still very active, of course he doesn't see the wisdom in asking the 70 year old who is otherwise in good health to step down. This isn't the same situation as the late 87 year old Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was constantly in and out of the hospital.
These are the same people mad at "woke" games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.
No vegans dispute this. In fact that is a large reason we point that meat is not a necessity to a healthy diet like many claim.
But fundamentally I'm not here to talk about veganism. You are entitled to your own beliefs, I only wanted to provide a complete answer to the "hypocritical vegans" comment that appears in every thread paints feeling pain. While I personally think deciding that things are most "humane" when they are "efficient" for you regardless of the effect it has on others is selfish and motivated reasoning, thus unethical. But this thread nor community is a place to discuss ethics, I clearly illuminated why equating plant rights and animal rights is silly, so frankly I would just like to end the discussion there. Thanks.
If you think pigs, chickens and cows have the same level of awareness and perception as broccoli, tomatoes or potatoes than you're the potato.
Humans have to eat and with the exception of a few minerals like salt, everything edible to humans is alive on some level. Vegansisn is making an ethical choice about reducing what causes the most pain fear and suffering in another. If I were to develop cancer, a tape worm or a virus should I also allow those living things to thrive as well or does "Uh, now what?" also apply to antibiotics?
Which is totally understandable and justifiable, even if there was no sensitive info on this particular call. Zero tolerance is the reasonable stance, not trying to criticize the firing. Just sorta curious why anyone would bother to record and post it in the first place. Like, wtf were they even thinking?
Correct. If we counted every president medical procedure as a new president we would be well in to the 100s by now. Just off the top of my head Reagan and both Bushes had various procedures that briefly granted VPs presidential power, Kamala was far from the first here, even if she was the first black woman to hold it.
.. Andnow I'm vaguely curious if anyone has ever gone back and tallied up this objectively useless number of people who at one point were acting president. đ
Mafia and Goverment are the same thing at different scales, social order established from a central unit that enforces their will via violence funded by protection money/taxes Just as "cults" eventually become religion at a critical mass, then your fringe beliefs become legitimate church doctrine.
All the rules of the world are made up and only apply if enough people say and act as they apply. Justice is a point of view, not a inherent truth.
I mean it's a genocide, not a war. And Harris absolutely has not said she would cease arming Isreal, she is less outspoken than Biden but there is no indication she would end anything.
But Trump gave gift after gift to Isareal the first time and has said he would send more armaments. He without question would make things worse so Harris is the only sane ethical choice.
I agree it's a simple choice but we need to be realistic that Harris isn't some peace panacea.
You'd be suprised. My partner is very tuned in to politics and watches Hasan near daily, reads news, talks with me and her friends but casually mentioned she would be voting for Stein instead of Harris. I very quickly pulled up the Putin dinner party pic and a handful of articles explaining the various connections. It all totally flabbergasted her and she decided on Harris despite her, very legitimate, reservations over genocide. Realistically we're in a very blue state that will safely go Harris so it wouldn't matter, but I'm certain other people will still fall into the same trap.
Itâs not hard to find a common thread in all Middle Eastern countriesâŚ
Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.
Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I'm telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it's easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.
It's the US fault that Islamic extremists are the goverment.
I thought Islam was the religion of peace?
Most Christians are peaceful, but if an outside country destabilized the US democratic and republican party then placed the KKK in power, their version of Christianity would be what America lives under. Exactly as it happened in various middile eastern countries.
This isn't a consisparcy or anything, it's basic history of the region freely available on Wikipedia. Saying anything else is just ignorance.
The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.
This isn't a conspiracy theroy or anything, it's all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn't the norm for the longest time until US intervention.
