Perhaps unavoidable but not the best wording there. In any case I totally agree.

I realized that the moment I pressed post. *Sigh*

Wahhabism, to my understanding, is a view in Islam that all "innovations" to Islam are heresy, and they are the true believers. Which is kind of ironic, given the fact Saudi Arabia ( where Wahhabism is the state ideology) has been destroying thousand year buildings directly associated with...

It's astounding to see the lengths people will go to deny reality. It it is estimated around 1 million Armenians were killed in the genocide. For the genocide to be false, that means millions of people worked together, in perfect unison, to create a false narrative. Do these idiots have any idea how...

On principal, I refuse to ever side with France on any issue. It will be a cold day in hell when I ever listen to a bunch of goddamn frogs.

"They pay taxes. So I don't give a shit"

You're all being foolish. I would not trust most people to use gun correctly (myself included), even when trained.

Swords on the other hand...

Maybe not the worse, but the worse movie adaptation ever was the Last Air bender. Terrible acting, not saying character names right, making earth bending a joke, and changing the race of every group for no reason. As someone who watch Air bender from when it began to when it ended as a kid, it was l...

I believe that Nietzsche is still relevant in the 21st century for the following reasons: 1. Its important to under stand his role in Existentialism, which is a major branch of western philosophy. 2. As an example of what happens when you twist others work to your own ends. 3. As a source of cool ed...

All religions are more or less the same in the chance of being true, which is no chance.

Kris Kringle on a shingle, this is some real bullshit. I cant even tell who's who in this fever dream

There just jealous that Genghis Khan had the largest land empire ever, and China is always behind.

For real though, we need to stop bowing to the pressure of China.

I was chilling as a fetus, and was born 17 day later. Their was apparently a bomb threat when I was born at the hospital.

Good. The WHO has demonstrated throughout this pandemic that it is not fit for purpose. America has the most COVID-19 cases in the world, the Federal government refused to take it seriously when the threat was first announced,and they even refused to use test kits that worked because they wanted to...

Alright, we have two options here. 1. We should rechristen Columbus day to Convergence Day , when the fates of the old and new worlds were forever bound. Make the time a period of reflections of the good and the bad of old world explorers reaching the new world. It can be an opportunity of people to...

And comparing everyone you think shouldn't have a holiday to Hitler makes you look like this guy[/img]

I already agreed my comparison was flawed. It is clear you are not willing to understand that.

What needs to be kept in mind about public holidays is that their generally about something praiseworthy and good. Columbus was an important historical figure, but his actions to natives are something we must always condemn even from the standards of the time. For example, Hitler is an extremely im...

I may be old fashioned, but glaze all the way.

So if Kim does kick the bucket and if his sister can't hold onto power, could we see a united Korea in the near future? Korean unification is one of those things that everyone says they support, but no one is really in any hurry to have it happen. Look up the problems West and East Germany had (and...

If Kim kicks the bucket, and it become a tug-of-war for power, it will be an absolute kerfuffle. I bet future historians are going to put 2020 in its own chapter in the history books.
