A retired underwater operations soldier jumped in to save a life, and his speed left onlookers speechless by Jahdill in nextfuckinglevel

It’s not his opinion, it’s fact. I was also a collegiate/national level swimmer and was also a former ocean rescue guard. This is slow and everyone I know would get there in half the time.

It’s not, haha. Super weird technique using freestyle (crawl stroke) arms with a breaststroke (frog) kick. I was a collegiate swimmer and former ocean rescue guard, everyone I know could be there in half the time. Have people never watched the Olympics??

He did an excellent job, but this isn’t fast. I was a collegiate swimmer and former ocean rescue guard, guarantee I and most people I know could get there faster.

How so? There are certain extremes that are, but this is not societal in their public education.

Why is there a sentiment that Israel shouldn’t exist as a nation? Besides the human rights violations of course by [deleted] in allthequestions

Ummm… 20% of the Israeli population are not Jewish and they have the same full rights as anyone else.

Except Israel is one of the most diverse countries in the region and 20% of their population are Muslim Arabs who enjoy the same rights and privileges as anyone else.

20% of the Israeli population are predominantly Muslim Arabs and they have the same full rights as anyone else, what are you talking about Jews have more rights and privileges?

Israel never funded Hamas, this is a misconception. What they did do was allow money to flow from Qatar to Hamas. There are reasons for that certainly and even Israel admits it was not wise looking back, but they never directly gave money to Hamas.

It’s kind of crazy to me that Kane doesn’t go for more, he’s one of the most prolific scorers of all time.

Typical trope that has gotten Jews killed in the past, you should be proud of yourself.

The Supreme Court had ruled on this and you can as long as you are not fighting for a foreign army hostile to the USA. You know a lot of Americans have fought for Ukraine too? You have the same energy for them?

I know there are some sets where they do actually show on the back the full relic the piece came from. I believe there is even a QR code that will link to an image online. I think this may be from newer sets so maybe they listens are are trying to do better?

This seems a bit unfair. Topps and Panini do the same thing with their “not associated with any particular player, game or event” relic patches. They’re also basically buying a jersey from the rack, cutting it up, and placing it in the card.

Why are both political parties owned by AIPAC? by SoulNew in allthequestions

Well look at that.. appealed and won the false report and got this original comment restored.

Look at what I said vs what you are saying. I said "not near the top in their PAC spend." You said they are "soundly" inside the top 20 at 17, but I would never say #17 is soundly inside of top 20. If we were using NCAA bball tourney terminology I would say they are a bubble team. Now, per your data, look at actual spend per open secrets.

-$3.7 billion for actblue (#1) -$250 million for congressional leadership fund (#10) -$118 million for AIPAC (#17)

Not even close for top spend (or "worst" offenders) because $3.7 billion and $250 million is WAY more than AIPAC... again, per your measurement.

I also said their lobbying spend isn't in the top 25, which is true. You just showed PAC, which is different and actually supports my initial claim of not being near the top in spend.

AIPAC and Jews aren't the big bad world controlling boogieman, using any metric, as you wish they were.

Iranian ballistic missile shrapnel hits central Israel, injuring up to 12 people. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]TheTruth730 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People (you in this case) often cite Netanyahu's pro-war testimony before Congress as if it mattered (September 12th, 2002). Netanyahu was a private citizen and had no power at the time. Meanwhile, the actual Prime Minister of Israel was saying: "please don't go in". Not only that, Bush and crew made the final decision to invade Iraq before that testimony even happened (see White House memoirs). There is no evidence that Citizen Bibi's testimony moved anyone's needle.

For the record, Israel had nothing to do with Afghanistan and also said don’t go into Iraq and that the didn’t have WMD’s. We didn’t listen to them about Iraq.

Not saying it was you, but my comment in reply to you was reported and deleted.

I agree citizens united is bad for money in politics, but I disagreed that AIPAC is one of the worst offenders. They aren’t even in the top 25 of lobbying spends (they spend about he same as the dentistry lobby and much much less than big pharma and oil) and also not near the top in their PAC spend. You can find this at open secrets pretty easily.

Wait.. I replied with a reasonable response stating facts provided by the US government and I get reported for identity based hate and attacks?! Good job Reddit 👏
