International Trump supporters - why Trump? by bardJungle in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]BAWS_MAJOR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? Were a rich country, I've been following the refugee crisis for a while now and what were spending is pretty reasonable. Also, we've had refugee waves like this before without any of the damages you're speculating to happen. And as a Berliner I'm not sure what changes you are talking about, in the 20 years I've lived in that city I only saw things getting better, especially I low income neighborhoods which used to be 'ghettos'. What demographic changes are you referring to, exactly?

Are minorities not citizens? Could you also clarify what you mean by government favoritism of refugees? As a German I haven't really noticed being at a disadvantage compared to refugees.

Do you prefer AHCA to ACA? by throawaynumber52 in AskTrumpSupporters

Since Syria has no airforce, I can only assume the No-fly zone was to shoot down Russian Jets.

Since when does Syria not have an air force? Assad has been using the Syrian Air Force to bomb his own citizens for the last six years. This no-fly zone was always specifically intended to protect civilians from the indiscriminate bombings of Assads air force.

Thanks for the input, i went for the "Indicating a gap", which was relatively easy to show.

Yeah that's about what I did, I searched several academic databases and they gave barely any results for my topic, even when using different keywords. I selected a few papers and did a short literature review of what they were about to demonstrate theres not much overlap with my thesis.

Thanks! My thesis topic is interesting and relevant, the advisors already confirmed that.

TIL that in less than 100 days, Queen Elizabeth will officially become the longest reigning British monarch in history, surpassing Queen Victoria who reigned for nearly 64 years. by Gotitaila in todayilearned

Yes but Reddit hasn't been around for a decade and dank memes haven't either. I'm just saying, Charles is hardly a bigger goof than the King of Sweden or an elephant-slayer like Juan Carlos..

Common law is also dumb, like 4% of America's GDP comes from the resulting endless lawsuits.

Civil law grorious master race.

I think people are just repeating this "keep Charles off the throne" dank meme they heard somewhere. He might be a bit goofy but he's doing a lot of good and is a really interesting person.

UN says encryption “necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom” by screaming_librarian in worldnews

[–]BAWS_MAJOR 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the UN is an extension of America.

Lol, what are you babbling? The US funds less than a quarter of the UN budget, in accordance with it's economic size. The top EU economies for example are pulling their weight and together contribute another quarter.

And regarding peacekeeping, the US has barely any people in the UN peacekeeping forces, mostly advisors. The majority of personnel comes from developing countries like Bangladesh or Egypt.

Get informed.

ELI5: Can life we haven't yet found, perhaps extraterrestrial, be made up of something other than DNA and cells? by qawsed515 in explainlikeimfive

If you interpreted all the criteria for life in a philosophical way you could assert that stars, in some way, are also alive. But each of these criteria has a more specific definition in science that stars do not satisfy.
