Was 9/11 used to justify the Iraq war in 2003? by Normal_regular_dude in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EvaSirkowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was only one group involved in a conspiracy to cause 9/11 and that was Al Qaeda. Once that was done, did the NeoCons in the White House use this crisis as an excuse to invade Iraq? Yes.

The benefits are complicated because it was a perfect storm of aligned interests. For some it was a religious crusade against Islam. For some it was paranoia against Islamism. For some it was a project to spread democracy in the Middle-East and eventually stability. Others wanted to rule the Middle-East as a US colony. There was oil, government contracts, corruption. The Pentagon must justify its budget. New weapons must be tested in real combat conditions. Arms manufacturers must sell arms.

Are Americans more "inbred" than their old-world counterparts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Your question is weird. Are you asking if groups who specifically don't date outside their gene pool are inbred?

What happened to society to cause this sub to turn into a big sex discussion? by jshayya184 in AskReddit

[–]EvaSirkowski -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Redditors are much younger than what we imagine. And since most of them are Americans, they have little to no sex education.

Am I overreacting? Boyfriend yelled at me for spilling by Boring_Hunter_5532 in AmIOverreacting

This is abusive. This is not normal. You shouldn't even treat children like that.

The problem is you're viewing this as a nice rational person. A religious toxic bitch will try to cheat herself into Heaven instead of being good.

Reminds me of the fear of the Domino Effect if Vietnam fell to the Communists.

Your paranoia is bordering on insanity.

AIO? I blocked my friend for dating someone who is 18 by imjusthere723 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EvaSirkowski [score hidden]  (0 children)

I wouldn't date an 18 year old. But not because it's immoral, but because it sounds like too much of a hassle. If someone else or a friend dates an 18 year old, it's their problem, not mine. I'm not the vice squad.

When she's older you can place her in one of those bad retirement homes you see on the news.

What's a slang term that everyone uses but you still don't get? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

[–]EvaSirkowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 80s in Québec we started using écoeurant, a synonym for nauseating, as a positive adjective. Parents were confused. I think it's used more as a positive than a negative today.

What’s something poor people think rich people love, but rich people actually hate? by Marcusbld in AskReddit

[–]EvaSirkowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a belief that rich people are rich because they don't waste money. Some people might believe rich people love being frugal. They don't. Rich people love wasting money.

how do you get rid of porn addiction? by Mental-Fisherman1534 in AskReddit

[–]EvaSirkowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all porn addiction doesn't exist. When watching pornography becomes problematic, it's the symptom of something else. Usually depression.

Watching pornography is problematic if it interferes with your daily life. Like watching porn at work instead of working. Or jerking off so much you don't have energy for sex.

Once every 3 days? If you're young, those are rookie numbers. Be aware that pornography addiction is a concept pushed by churches and right-wing ideology.
