> Who does the farming? Who does the cleaning? Who builds the buildings? Who are the line cooks? That should be obvious. Exclusively immigrants? Is that what you’re arguing? Only green card holders in the US do those jobs?

It’s also the most culturally diverse country in the region. Israel has a Muslim judge in their Supreme Court. Are there any Muslim majority countries in the region with a Jewish Supreme Court justice? https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

I would too, and I think it should happen. I’m in Australia, so it’s only a (relatively) short drive to Woomera. We should make sure our (the West’s) nuclear deterrent still actually works, and put the fear of God back in to everyone. And a

You’re wrong. Sorry about it. In most jurisdictions anyone would want to live in, a handshake deal is as good as a contract. Additionally, and again in any jurisdiction anyone would want to live in, when you purchase a durable good you’re

Agreed. The most valuable resource is trust. Follow closely by the trust-structures to deal with the ramifications of the primary trust-relationship being broken. That is to say, the most fundamental rule is contract law.

Come now. If that school was being used as cover for a military operation by Islamic extremist who recently shot up a music festival I was at, capturing some of the females and raping them then shooting out their eyes and vaginas. Enough of

It’s one thing to have a conflicting world view. It’s another thing to have the entire Iranian parliament broadcast chanting “death to America”. I’m not even American. I don’t even agree with half the stuff Trump says or does, but I’m onboa

We can’t even prevent shoplifting, what expectation should there be that we’d be capable of mounting any sort of offence / defence against malware outfits. I dunno, some people just have no sense of humour. > or you will get banned

I’m not convinced. My understanding is that the problem is more that calling in the heavy artillery for what amounts to an annoyance, and maybe some financial harm, is generally considered impolite, even among nations that have conflicting

You making a good point. Socialism or our right communism would probably fix this. But only as a second order effect of fucking everything . 3.5 to 6 million Ukrainians died in the Holodomor. None of them really had any issues with technol

I’m struggling to understand your definition of opposite here. Wouldn’t opposite mean you listen at sub 1x speed. Whereas as your definition seems to be ”I’m the same, but less so.”

That’s an amusing observation. Likewise, YouTube’s “premium” feature of not displaying ads is laughable when displaying content is literally an internal browser function. I pay anyway, because I was going to pay for an on-demand streaming m
