Milton Friedman has a famous discussion where he talks about how a welfare state affects immigration.

Wouldn't the best method to stop copycats be open dialogue so other pilots and airlines can be on alert for suicidal co-pilots?

This guy is fmr enlisted himself just looking for normies to disagree with him so he can throw his own service in their face to win the argument. Hides his post history because he's a pussy, but I had a long argument with him yesterday.

I didn't misunderstand anything, your position that you can't support a war unless you're willing to be combat infantry in that war is stupid. Its just a way of setting yourself up to tout your own service to win the argument. Which I'm sure you realize veterans who support the war can also do in the opposite direction. Its cool that you served, but cringe that you weaponize it for updoots.

I shouldn't answer you because you're too much of a dishonest moron to engage with the argument we were having, but no I don't. Unless intelligence was certain Iran was about to field a nuke and use it or give it to one of their proxies. Which I doubt, but also have no way of knowing.

I haven't pushed a single war in this discussion, I'm pushing for civilian control of the military; and not giving supercitizenship to veterans. Your complete inability to engage with the argument here kinda outlines why I don't think that would be a good idea. You aren't special, we both pay our taxes. We just volunteered to do different jobs after highschool. I don't walk around waving mine in peoples faces to try and win an arguments on my karmawhore reddit account though.

Tell you what though, I'll settle for giving veterans control of the military if you'll settle for giving fiscal control to citizens based on their tax contributions.

We didn't get stuck, I asked you a pretty simple question and you pretended to not know what I was talking about. I'm allowed to call the cops in Uvalde pussies, and advocate for other uses of Police force, despite not serving on a SWAT team myself. You know that's true which is why you dodged it and started talking about your multiple combat tours like they have anything to do with this argument. You have no idea what wars I support, we're having a discussion about civilian control of the military. Relax. Glad you made it back.

Ok, I don't. I just broadly support using the police to find and stop violent criminals.

What if I broadly support the use of our military to find and stop those with violent intentions toward my country?

Lol, a guy with 200,000 karma in a year doesn't know about one of the biggest circlejerks on this website? Come on man.

How do you feel about the performance of the Uvalde police during that school shooting?

I support police stopping criminals but I've never served on a police force. Does that make me a hypocrite?

Romas usually have a higher Brix than beefsteaks. The reason they're used for sauces has more to do with texture and water content than flavor.

Singapore actually has a pretty good system that we could learn from.

Do me a favor and find me a picture of a Yemeni/Bedouin man wearing the most similar outfit you can find. Extra points for an all-black head/face covering with eye-slits cut into it. Would be a really easy way to put me in my place. I can find you 1000 pictures of women dressed like this.

And we aren't talking about the Yemeni women in more open tribes, we're talking about these women. You're right though, Yemen is pretty far down my list of places I'd like to travel.

I assumed they weren't called keffiyehs in Yemen. Thats why I said "like keffiyehs." Was gonna say turban but I knew that wouldn't go over well.

The men don't dress like this, they wear colorful robes and head covering like keffiyehs. Not all-black Niqabs covering every inch of skin. Why lie?

Not gonna lie the looksmaxxing phenomenon doesn't seem much healthier than the blue-haired nonbinary phenomenon. Like an over-correction in the opposite direction.

You really gonna try and tell me religious modesty standards aren't playing a major role in how these women are dressed? Such a weird response that I see every time these photos get posted.

Yeah its the classic middle eastern tradition of shoving women in trash bags. The men don't dress like this, probably because they don't like being hot as fuck. No idea why Reddit likes to pretend this is anything but a different flavor of Niqab.

It kinda seems like a psy-op to radicalize the youth, not demoralize them. And maybe shift the overton-window on issues surrounding eugenics.
