I’m assuming you’re American then. I don’t think it’s the offensive vs defensive nature of your army. I think it’s the arming smaller groups and letting them descend into chaos that is the problem. Arming a group to fight another group that

A bit of a tangent but, you’ll notice he also becomes agitated when the coin doesn’t “allow” him to kill (I think, it’s been awhile) the shopkeeper. This implies he was looking for reasons to kill people. The coin flipping was his way of sh

They're not cheating just themselves. The impact of cheating is way more widespread than that. Often if one person cheats off of another student - they both suffer the consequences, if caught. Regardless of the other student(s) being a

That's a very negative and dangerous view to hold. You're blaming someone for being exploited because of their lack of knowledge. Not everyone can know everything and they shouldn't be expected to in order to participate in t

You can easily remove them. It's still annoying having to deleted Candy Crush. I would have a hard time justifying $400 for a Chromebook when a tablet+keyboard is cheaper and slightly better. Plus with Surface Go....$400 seems like a r

The firing wasn’t the issue. It was a controversial move but it is not what caused the ongoing collapse. The exchange rates being in their favour is how the govt paid for the social programs. Now that the rate is not in their favour and oil

So, the order matters. Chavez simply just took it and redistributed whereas Norways started as state owned? Chavez took it because the oil execs were messing with the economy as a form of protest against taxes. A move that was highly contro

Some of the reasons you listed occurred after the recent sanctions. You listed dysfunction twice and I don't know what "(a lot of government debt is held by members of government!)" means or implies. Intervention in the econo

25 mins is too short for certain types of work. I find 45-50 mins of work with 10-15 min breaks works the best for me. Starting with 25 minutes is mentally easier when you are first starting a task and then once you get the hang of it you c

Wow! Is this criticism actually real!? Or is this a conspiracy video? In the past I found John Oliver humorous but I've recently noticed his bias and how he conveniently ignores certain facts in order to make a joke. I would add that t
