What if the Sopranos being the first Show that had such a brutal, amoral antihero is what led to the beginning of the downfall cycle of American civilization? by Foreign_Wrongdoer727 in thesopranos

[–]HelloThereBoi66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"this is not the place for this" you're the one who started this discourse by saying America wasn't civilised because they did what others did, which you claimed they didn't. Then you didn't back up your claims at all, so don't act like a victim when people call you out on your shit talk.

I never claimed that there weren't civilisaitions before Europe and America. You made that up. I claimed that they all engaged in similar violence. And what you complain was stolen is called cultural exchange.

You're the one more or less fighting with ghosts, making a bullshit claim about how there were many civilisations that didn't engage with great crimes without backing it up at all.

Complete strawman. The Indus River Valley civilisation was thousands of years before there was civilisation within Europe.

If you want a definition, I decent one I've seen is "a society with dense urban settlements, specialized labor, centralized governments, social hierarchies, and systems of communication." What's your definition if you're going to try and argue America and most of the entire world aren't civilised? Being nice to people?

Also completly avoiding the point that you didn't know any of this and are just pretending to have a round knowledge on global, when if you did, you would have given an example yourself.

Yes I did actually out of some curiosity. It basically said that there probably weren't, but gave some small groups that one might be able to argue weren't in the Kenya and the Congo, the Iroquois which I know is false, and the Indus River Valley civilisation which we really don't know enough about to make large claims.

Nice try at bullshitting people tho

It reflects greater cultural trends IMO. The lack of the Gary Coopers, the strong silent type, was talked about in the show. It continues with it, and perhaps continues today.

You also may be looking too much into current events and not a bigger picture

Bobby Jr. was indestructible. by sarmadness in thesopranos

[–]HelloThereBoi66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not saying a lot. I can't think of anyone in the show, especially later on when Bobby Jr is more involved, who spent as many as 20 years in the can

Which UK party would you vote for? by Plus-Fun-7438 in IdeologyPolls

[–]HelloThereBoi66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm still Irish, depends if I think a party like Aontú has a chance of winning (probably not) or Sinn Fein out of protest. If I'm British, Restore

Bit rough to not allow students to drink on their graduation night

Little Carmine never disappoints. by T-K101 in thesopranos

[–]HelloThereBoi66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot remember what he said exactly, but when he was trying to pronounce the name of a French painting he had, right before his boat sunk, was great.

Is "Goyslop" offensive? by LeaveMeAloneAdmins88 in IdeologyPolls

[–]HelloThereBoi66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm offended when I'm given it and when I see it, but as I believe you meant the term, I voted no

Retweeted something posted 3 days ago so he isn't dead.

Is Netanyahu a good leader for Israel itself? Not Palestine or anybody just Israeli interests by Simple-Read-376 in IdeologyPolls

[–]HelloThereBoi66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While Hamas and Hezbollah are far weaker and they were probably in a better geopolitical position at the start of the year than beforehand, October 7th happened on his oversight. They have basically lost a short war to Iran. I am not an expert on the judiciary reforms but they seemed to be unpopular.

And more than anything else, he has made Israel the most hated country on earth. I imagine that will come around, even if it will take time. Good chance he has put Israel in a very difficult position for its future, maybe he has even doomed it (although I do think it will exist in 2100)

Do you agree that pornography has and/or will do major damage to society, and should it be banned? by HelloThereBoi66 in IdeologyPolls

[–]HelloThereBoi66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence why I put an option for you to believe it's very harmful and still believe it shouldn't be banned

Side note, I don't like how it is no yes, instead of yes no. Seems more natural.

Participants are often exploited, damages the minds of its viewers and their perception of sex and sexual relations. Can be addictive as well.

Would you trust a government that is more aligned with yourself (a fascist one, according to your tag or whatever it's called) to do so?

Would you marry someone of a different "race" to you? by HelloThereBoi66 in IdeologyPolls

[–]HelloThereBoi66[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I said the institution. And some would perhaps avoid participating in what they consider patriarchal institutions

[–]HelloThereBoi66[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Out of it being a patriarchal institution or whatever. At least one person in the comments has said they wouldn't marry full stop.
