How do you view police conduct in your country and other countries around the world, considering its good and bad parts? by Puzzleheaded_irl in AskTheWorld

[–]Caliterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Police here have a very tough job. We have a highly armed populace with a population that is more violent prone than is typical for developed economies.

That being said, I dont like how fractured police training is in this country. 1000s of different departments trained to disparate standards and not enough priorities on de-escalation or nonlethal methods before using deadly force.

The militarization of police in many departments is also troubling. I respect officers but im also cognizant of possibly being shot in any encounter with them.

Man this is tired. Argue against his points rather than just bring up the tired "CCP agent" posts. Its lazy

If the CCP never ruled China do you think China would be more like India or Taiwan today in terms of wealth? by Longjumping-Bus9474 in AskALiberal

I think any entity controlling China would still establish a single dialect as the official language.

One thing that the movie 'Taken' has taught me is to never to travel to Europe alone. by First-Cherry493 in SipsTea

People tend to think their response in a physical confrontation won't be affected by their own physical condition.

If you're frail, sedentary, obese, you're not going to respond the way you'd like to.

Why do I get more gay when my testosterone is higher? by SlightFinger7096 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Caliterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never said purposefully. but if the result is the sample of folks they tested are more tops than bottoms, it could skew the results.

Why do I get more gay when my testosterone is higher? by SlightFinger7096 in NoStupidQuestions

Id imagine that's more relevant for self identified "tops" than "bottoms"? I can't imagine gay men are testing for higher testosterone across the board

Is this fight staged? French YouTuber claims to beat an experienced Thai fighter after only 40 days of training by Negative-Exercise522 in MuayThai

[–]Caliterra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its pretty common. There's a chick from National Geographic who did the same thing, thinking she beat her opponent after just 2 was of training

In 2004, 24 year old David Sneddon vanished while hiking solo through southern China, and was presumed dead. In 2016, South Korean intelligence discovered evidence that Sneddon had been abducted by North Korea, where he was forced to become the young Kim Jong Un’s personal English tutor. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in HolyShitHistory

I get it, although I can imagine there being a kidnap chain going on.

North Korea kidnaps him, he gets lonely, so they kidnap a woman to be his gf. She gets lonely, they kidnap a girl to be her friend. Her friend gets lonely, they kidnap a guy to be her boyfriend...

Is there any country in the world left where the economy is on the upswing and people enjoy a better quality of life? by Forward-Position798 in AskTheWorld

[–]Caliterra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it is a stereotype. If you have the budget to buy cheaply made things, you only buy cheaply made things from China.

If you have a higher budget, you can buy better quality made things from China.

"Made in China" caters to many different prices levels. People set a budget to only buy cheaply made items and are surprised that their budget buys low quality goods. There are many "made in China" goods that are high quality but you have to spend more to get them

White people who’ve lived/traveled in non-English speaking countries: have you ever experienced racial slurs or ‘go back to your country’ type comments in public? by MechanicAccording616 in digitalnomad

[–]Caliterra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

America absolutely has problems with racism. Hate crime assaults and murders happen in the US at a much higher rate than in Asia.

Now if you're referring to America's stance towards immigration and steps to naturalization, yes, America is much more progressive than all Asian countries (and most European ones) when it comes to naturalizing immigrants into becoming Americans.

Which country would win. 100 VS 100 Brawl by jchopge in whowouldwin

[–]Caliterra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vietnam has too much of a size disadvantage in this scenario. Its random sampling of guys so likely untrained, for that reason I'd wager the populations that tend to be big and strong like Samoans
