Yes, and now farming is mostly automated... and manufacturing... and soon service sector jobs. What's left after that?

This is Facebook. Public shame is the only way to reliably get them to change policy even slightly on something they have already made a decision about.

Maybe instead of giving people free shit, we give people the education and opportunities to earn and make stuff?

Workers don't have the capital or the know-how... that's why they are selling labor in the first place.

I only care about making the lives of livestock free from unnecessary suffering. I'd like to accomplish that through legislation. I care little beyond that.

You're not wrong. The NSA acts on that information, but the comparison is meaningless. America launches targeted attacks on what it believes to be terrorist threats to itself. China murders millions of its own innocent civilians.

The USA has not murdered tens of millions of foreigners.

What America does has no effect on the morality of what China does. This is whataboutism at its finest.

The NSA and USA do not have a recent history of murdering tens of millions of its own citizens. What America does has no effect on the morality of what China does. This is whataboutism at its finest.

If Google considers handing off private info to China, which is known to execute people with disliked political beliefs, it's not self-evidently wrong to compare Google and their executives to the devil. Edit: if you want to downvote,

Google and Alphabet have executives that set mission statements. If these executives wanted to, they could easily prioritize ethical conduct and refuse compliance with censorship schemes and oppressive regimes.

You call them roaches. At the very least, I think you resent them immensely. I don't mean this to undermine you, but rather to provoke thought: are you sure you don't blame them?

I'm surprised you're criticizing MBA grads instead of the MBA programs, since the MBA programs aren't teaching effectively while the MBA grads are merely trying to get a better life.

Portugal has radically different drug policy than America and Mexico. What do you think happened to the rates of drug dependency and violent crime?

You are basically criticizing people for wanting money and not wanting to do unnecessary work for it. You might as well criticize human nature. 99% of people pick the best path they can see towards an easier life that gives them the most su

>“Each Javelin round costs $80,000, and the idea that it's fired by a guy who doesn't make that in a year at a guy who doesn't make that in a lifetime is somehow so outrageous it almost makes the war seem winnable.” Do you

Yes, and in America, things are still bad and gang violence accounts for a huge proportion of murders. Strong governments do not and cannot solve the problem alone.

This is the problem of the leftists. They removed the foundations of culture (for good reasons), but never replaced it with something as solid.

"Do you know what the difference between 20 years and life in prison are?" What changes people's habits is the likelihood of punishment, not the severity of it.

This is faulty reasoning. Different countries have different laws, enforcement policies, and different environments, and therefore different kinds of organized crime. How brutal do you think the cartels in Portugal are?

I would expect gangs to be more violent in the places where they are punished the same for nonviolent and violent crimes. If I'm in a gang and will go to jail for 40 years if I get caught distributing cocaine, I might as well murder if

You should move to a different place. That's a sign that your culture (be that your acquaintances, neighborhood, city, state, country, or civilization) does not maintain an environment where you can be reasonably sure that your sacrifi

I think this is France's mistake. Should children not know what is going on in the world? Upon turning 18, do you want new voters to have no idea about the malevolence and potential for massacre in the world?

It's not about people not knowing what happens, it's about people not understanding the significance of what happens. Watching videos and seeing pictures can make you understand the meaning of murder, massacre, and genocide in a w

This is one of the small handful of books that changed my life. I think everyone will be happier and have better relationships and social interactions if they follow this book.
