No. A mafia makes you pay “protection” from the things they’ll do to you if you don’t pay. A government makes pay taxes for a very real threat of what other nations and people within your nation will do without that security they provide. They also build roads and bridges and fire departments, water towers and plumbing, and other things necessary for a civilized world.
I’d actually argue the opposite. Religion reigns in bad people. Talk to a religious person, wait until you hear them say something like, “but if there’s no god and no afterlife, what’s to stop people from murder and rape?” That’s all that’s holding them back from total anarchy, the threat of eternal suffering and damnation, only for some it’s still not enough.
If you would read it, it’s for increased chip production. Hardware, not software
The irony in that typo is palpable. Some real KenM energy
Well the world got so crazy they realized their material can’t keep up anymore
It’s important to recognize that women are equally capable of waving around a kitchen knife.
They swear allegiance to the federal constitution, the governor, and the president. With the president being CIC and having power over the governor and the constitution having power overall. So in theory, the governor cannot give you orders that defy the president, and not even the president can give force you to comply with an unlawful order. It would take some serious stones to defy orders though
By that definition my company toyota Corolla is a valid military target. My brother in Christ Google the definition of “civilian”. Literally anyone or anything not government related qualifies. These ships have “relations” with almost every country, that’s how international commerce works you dumbass.
“standing up for human rights”
Meanwhile, on the Houthis flags: “death to Israel, death to America, Jews are a curse upon the land”
You, a joke of a person who needs to look in the mirror and laugh at yourself: “very reasonable people”
They’re attacking commercial shipping vessels passing through the suez canal that have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine or the US. If you knew how how to read or think you’d already know this.
This is exceptionally easy to disprove with a five second Google search. Some of the container ships that were most recently attacked had panama and Japan flags. Please learn to think and read before spouting nonsense. What the houthi are doing is indiscernible from piracy
OP said they don’t have a gaming PC, meaning something capable of playing games at full spec
Allied countries commonly host each other’s soldiers at their bases for cross training and joint operations.
Because it’s both? Jews can be both semites (ethnicity) and followers of Judaism (religion). Not all Jewish people are both. To make things more confusing, not all Jews are zionists, and not all Israelis are zionists.
I apologize in advance of the things I am about to say to you but this has to be one of the most naive and sophomoric statements I have ever read, so I’m going to address you as a teenager because I hope nobody gets to adulthood believing such bullshit.
To start with I hate to be the bearer of bad news but a substantial percent of humans are violent by nature, which means there is no amount of logical debate that will convince someone to not take your things or your life. This transcends to the national level which is why every peaceful nation in history has an army, for self-defense.
Army doesn’t make any productive labor? My brother in Christ you are on the internet. Which means you are using a software that implements TCP/IP protocols specifically designed to build the . . . Drumroll . . . ARPANET! For the US military? Did you type that comment with your phone? Did you use GPS today? Hell the entire space race was funded for military reasons!
I have to envy you though. Thinking that you can simply argue your way out of any confrontation without the threat of violence, must be nice. Ask Palestinians or Ukranians what they think of that.
