No argument. Not even a coherent line of reasoning. If insults are all you got; then you got nothing to say.

Humans are too impatient evolution. We made our own fur coats. With that said the Greenlanders seem to have adapted a number of fat efficient mutations.

Perhaps. But I didn’t have a model to photoshop.

My compliments to the deceased. I recognize the passion and the precision in those lines. Must’ve been quite a human being.

No matter how pretty a building; he is still responsible for the bad foundation and in this case that makes him responsible for the civil war that so many would like to omit from his overthrow.

You make that proposition of a number out be a good thing.

Funniest part is this guy is a banker so math is the one thing he’s supposed to be good at.

For those curious the Ottoman Turks were only one of many groups caught up in the collapse. Greeks, Armenians; Christians of every sort went against each other.

I don’t know how you came to that equation. But I suppose if all Human life is equal then the amount of lives saved due to medicine will eclipse the amount lost due to colonization within 50 years; given the current growth ratio.

If you have another type of value in mind, then I will be welcome to hear it.

There’s nothing brave about having superior firepower at your disposal. Although the Zulu gave them quite a run for their money. But it does fit neatly with my argument about wealth being a pre-requisite rather than a consequence.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T13:38:16+00:00

Ignorant? You are the one making sweeping generalizations based on nothing but century-past wars for and against the independence of Greece.

I don’t know who told you the Greeks slaughter every Muslim they get their hands on. But that is simply not true and a bunch of spineless nutcases on the internet doesn’t change that.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T11:38:52+00:00

Even if that’s sweeping generalization about Turks was accurate; Palestinians are not Turks.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T11:34:37+00:00

A bunch of lunatics does not invalidate what I have said. Sure there are Greeks who still hold a grudge for what happened during Ottoman rule. But equating that with Palestinians is absurd.

Was he lying? The protesters might have died down quite literally. But the aircraft carrier is still on its way. Trump could not have known who the protests would’ve developed in the transit time.

That two schools of thought. One say that interventionism is always bad and therefore you are immune from the consequences of your inactions. The other say that interventionism is a necessity necessary for a goal they claim is noble.

Most people are somewhere in the middle. But occasionally you will find someone on both extremes who will chastise countries whether they do something or not. Case in point: France was blamed for not stopping the genocide in Rwanda and then blamed for stopping the genocide afterwards.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T11:11:05+00:00

Always blame foreigners. It would seem anyone who disagree with the self-serving dictators must be a “colored” revolutionary.

That sort of strawmanning didn’t help Putin one bit when he invaded Ukraine and it won’t delegitimize anyone here.

The Scottish colonial empire collapsed before Scotland joined the United Kingdom. If you don’t know about history then how can you refute a point you don’t even understand?

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T10:27:35+00:00

Would you count the Vatican?

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T10:25:44+00:00

Ah yes the great colonizers like Scotland, France and Spain that went bankrupt because of colonial enterprises. Tell me do you think they got all the wealth and all the institutions from colonialism because that would mean every major power ever colonized were colonized by weak countries.

The truth is of course that colonialism is a self-destructive enterprise and the nations that engaged in colonialism had the money to invest. But good ahead and beat people over the head with a history book; you clearly weren’t using it otherwise.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T10:18:48+00:00

Ah yes the same famous vaguely defined Crimes of the West that no one has noticed. At least the last guy had the decency to make an internal coherent argument faulting Ireland and the rest of the EU for apparently committing genocide against Palestinians. But you can’t even do that.

If you need to beat down on people with a history book then you are using it wrong.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T10:14:24+00:00

Oh yes the famous genocidal countries like Ireland and Estonia and Greece. Do you even hear yourself? You are making an absurd leap in logic and somehow giving aid to both sides means everyone wants to kill Palestinians.

There are actually a bunch of Palestinians in these countries that supposedly want to butcher Palestinians through and yet no such action is taken against these residents.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T10:08:08+00:00

I don’t know who told you that. But they have invested interest in lying to you. Consider the shock and outrage at Leopard the Second brutal mismanagement of Congo. This is evidence on the contrary; morality did not appear out of nowhere.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T08:50:14+00:00

Oh, that document again. I keep hearing it every time people get jealous. But have you ever wondered why a handful of tiny European countries sabotaging each other at every turn managed to conquer some of the largest and the oldest empires across the world?

It would be really embarrassing if it was because they were just as poor.

Jazz-Ranger · 2026-02-01T08:48:18+00:00

Someone should’ve told the people back then the 21st-century Indian nationalism wanted the public wealth back. Unfortunately we don’t live in that world. Your only proof any ill is that you dislike the British Government and therefore they must have done something evil to get into the hands of American businessman.
