1. The "war" did not start on Oct 7. 2. Even if a country's government starts a war, that doesn't not justify war crimes. This is why they're called war crimes. 3. Pointing to what allies did 70+ years ago doesn&#x2

I don't quite understand why you keep pointing to post WW2 as a justification. For 1 we should be looking at results and the situation on the ground, not the guidelines for what's "the proper way to do things". Were peop

I'm not sure why this is important to the discussion. The important question is: are people in Gaza starving or not? If they are, I couldn't care less what we did during WW2. Secondarily, just because there was a guideline during

For me there was a bit of a step function, where I went from caring about the size of something (number of floppies -> CDs -> HD space limited) to at some point just stopped really worrying about it. Yes a 2GB vs 10GB download time di

Pretty clear a large portion of Americans want smaller government. But they also want the benefits (sometimes only for themselves) that comes with a larger government (and spending).

This isn’t true in aggregate though. Cancer treatment outcomes varies quite a bit even for the same type of cancer.

I agree but I find it odd. I don’t hear anyone (well some, but very few and usually not taken seriously) suggest police and fire departments should be for profit, so clearly it’s understood that some services should not be profit driven. Bu

Give me that choice (refund or rebook me) and let me choose. Problem is if the airlines don't have to give a refund I now no longer have a choice.

Prefacing this by saying I'm fairly left leaning and the right would call me woke. But this type of discussion is why "comedy is legal again" takes hold with a large portion of the population. The comment is crass perhaps, bu

I agree, but that's a bit of a strawman. I didn't claim it's just anecdotal, I'm saying anecdotes from some reddit posts aren't useful in getting to the truth.

I'm not sure how that's related. Some research is flawed and statistics provide misleading or incorrect data so we just... don't care about data?

Sure, but even there you need some reasonable sample size. i.e. a sample of 1 won't be sufficient and more importantly it needs to be reproducible. Inject 1 patient and they wake up, but if you inject 10 others and nothing happens and

Also fascism doesn't require concentration camps and gas chambers, it just has little to prevent them. There have been fascists that also didn't involve gas champers etc. So to say only when we get concentration camps is there fas

You can have anecdotal about anything in any direction. Not a great way to come to a scientific conclusion.

I don't really see how this is any different from checking for work from another human. If a lawyer tasks another staff to do some research for citations, and the staff made up a bunch of them and the lawyer didn't check, that law

Info from customs agents at airport is aligned with this statement. Specifically that it does NOT apply to current visa holders. How consistent that is, no idea.

Can't pick and choose. Would you be ok with people escaping persecution or spreading their religion coming in the country if they don't bring their parents?

I've worked with and hired people on H1B. At least from my experience they're treated (from a job offer perspective) just like any other candidate. Some get bigger offers because they negotiate well, are in high demand positions e

The language of the EO isn't clear, that's the point. Unless the administration comes out with clarification and guidance on what and who is in scope, then one can only assume either maliciousness or incompetence.

Initially? People looking for gold, silver, fur. Missionaries spreading the word of god, people escaping persecution of various sorts. Are those the people Europe and the US are look to immigrate?
