Sorry, didn't realize, but the context is the question of collective punishment, which really is being imposed by the world. I'm explaining what is rather than calling for anything that hasn't come to pass. Thanks dang for ke

Yes, it may affect a lot more people. And not only in Yemen. Remember: a hungry mob is an angry mob.

You may have not read my entire comment. I'll repeat that the lack of exports of Ukrainian and Russian wheat because of the war will cause a lot more poverty, and maybe even death in Yemen, than its own war. Add the entire middle east

Though there may be more death in Yemen, the war in Ukraine is more important for many reasons. One is that you have the world's largest country, a nuclear superpower, attacking Europe's second largest country. This on a continent

Germany doesn't care about Ukraine. They have to look like they do. Once the Ukrainian issue settles down again like it did after 2014 and everyone in the west moves on to other things, Germany will simply push the start button and gas

"But do you know the names of your neighbors?" - an Amish man asked in an article I read recently. Technology took over the space that previously was devoted to real human relations.

It seems usually, when inflation is reported on, the printing of money is not mentioned, though far and away it is the main factor causing substantial inflation.

How can crypto be a store of value when the market price fluctuates so wildly? Bitcoin, etc fell much more in one day recently than the Turkish lira fell over many months. And one is supposedly using Bitcoin to avoid inflation in the lira?

I'm of the opinion that being a musician shouldn't imply that there should be money in it. It's a fun hobby for many and the reason it's so popular to try to be professional. 99 percent of musicians don't make any m

All you're proving is that you have an opinion and nothing will change your mind. You didn't even look at what you're commenting on. Your formed opinion was more important.

Surely a study that didn't discuss masks wouldn't change opinions on masking.

No comparison is ever perfect. No, Obama didn't jail a college student blogger. He did go after Assange, Manning, and many others. He attacked more people willing to uncover government activities than any other president. But you'

You got that last comparison backwards: https://pressfreedomtracker.us/blog/obama-used-espionage-act... I don't believe Trump jailed any reporters, unlike the record achieved by Obama.

I don't have cable, but if you have your opinion you should be the one considering different sources of information. Just the fact that three years, at least, were devoted to the non existent Russia collusion story, and almost nothing

Though Rogan may be spreading false ideas around, he is incomparable to the MSM making up stories and misleading the public in the last decade or so that I've been monitoring. There's a reason Rogan has audience in the millions. P

It is indeed ridiculous to point to professional journalists, at this point in time, as seekers of truth. There are some, but the vast majority of our media has little interest in the truth. Instead they're opinion manipulators that ar

If these rights would be so fundamental that the Constitutional questions would be pretty much settled, you wouldn't have some states require ID while others not require ID to vote. There's clearly no legal consensus.

When you say "well-established," do you mean within your own mind? It seems like the public overwhelmingly (80%) thinks otherwise. https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthp...
