  • No.

    This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.

    Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you'll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.

    If we were this self-centered, we wouldn't have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.

    Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.

  • "One of the employees at Spirit AeroSystems, which reportedly manufactured the door plug that blew out of an Alaska Airlines flight over Portland, Oregon, allegedly told company officials about an “excessive amount of defects,” according to the federal complaint and corresponding internal corporate documents reviewed by us.

    According to the court documents, the employee told a colleague that “he believed it was just a matter of time until a major defect escaped to a customer."

  • George Lucas certainly did. The Vietnam War was part of the inspiration for Star Wars.

  • Since 2000, the ratio of Palestinian deaths to Israeli deaths is 21:1 (NYT). Rockets? The name evokes weapons from Lockheed or Boeing, but Hamas and Islamic Jihad make them in garages and basement tunnels while Israel has the most hitech interceptors available. It's still comparatively slingshots to F-16s.

    Hamas was created in 1987, and has benefited from disproportionate treatment from the Israelis, who used Hamas to divide the Palestinian resistance. When Israel blows ckekd the negotiation tactics of the secular Palestinian resistance, what else were Palestinians to do? Palestinians in Gaza tried mass civil disobedience I'm 2018 with the Walk of Return, but Israel used live rounds and nearly 300 were killed and thousands wounded. How else were the Palestinians to seek freedom?

  • You paid money for something and then you find you can't use it again. You seriously think that isn't fucked up?

  • Yeah, it's a problem. A threatened country integrated a fascist militia into its army. Yes, and that's bad.

    But the country as a whole does not like Nazis at all, and doesn't vote for them.

    "In the 2019 Ukrainian elections, the far-right nationalist electoral alliance, including Svoboda, National Corps, Right Sector, Azov Battalion, OUN, and Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, under-performed expectations. In the presidential election, its candidate Ruslan Koshulynskyi received 1.6% of the vote, and in the parliamentary election, it was reduced to a single seat and saw its national vote fall to 2.15%, half of its result from 2014 and one-quarter of its result from 2012."

    The country has a Jewish president and a Muslim cabinet minister. Sound like a Nazi country to you?
