Shhh that's the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Peer reviewed studies using the scientific method is why we assume we are more logical than others. With that in question, we might have to admit we don't know a lo

Forcibly re-education and forced jobs(read: labor) is more accurate. Graceful isn't the right word. They're certainly more efficient, but their efforts are not without vast international condemnation. As much as I deplore the US r

Takes like that don't help IMO. In a way it was better in the past when people thought life was awful but that's just the way it is, you just do your job and live your life. Ironically, as life has gotten better we think more that
