It's not about "fuck the environment". That's an extremely uncharitable interpretation to take of your neighbors. People are willing to to sacrifice, but only IF they see it as a meaningful sacrifice that actually doe

My guess is very few people are willing to go back to pre-A/C days. Especially in automobiles. And any attempt to persuade people to give them up is going to be met with forceful pushback. It's now a luxury few will be willing

I don't remember and can't seem to find it. I remember people talking about the song more than the song itself, so it would be hard to recognize it. But the Jimmy Soul one makes the point well enough: https://www.yout

It has been a long-standing complaint for awhile. In partricular, there appears to be a core group of editors that have displayed a blatant bias against Israel. Huge ommissions of information that only inflame anti-semitic passions and hi

Could be attributable to corruption inthe military. It all looks good on paper, so they went with it. They also failed to account for the spirit of the military, and the leaders seem to believe in some romanticized notion of greatness. D

Wikipedia is great for many things, but I would steer clear of it for biographical information of prominent contemporary persons. It's very political and the amount of on-the-fly stealth editing that goes on the site should discredit i
