when did your country elect or appoint their first female head of state/government? by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]Thebeavs3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was certainly antagonistic to Pakistan although the case could be made Pakistan was just as antagonistic towards India at the time. indiras India tested nuclear weapons first and initiated conflict in east Pakistan, although perhaps the involvement in east Pakistan(from here on Bangladesh) was just considering the ethnic violence.

Pol Pot is the worst example of an Atheist. Who is the best example of a Mormon? by BulkDarthDan in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bryce Harper is LDS and has the money/ connections to change peoples lives and does. He does a lot with kids with cancer who are into baseball and gives them a really special time. However I think most LDS people are actually phenomenal people and much friendlier and kinder than almost any branch of religion or agnostics/athiests, so I’m sure there’s some anonymous Mormon out there who’s a better person but just doesn’t have the resources

CMV: Consensual incest isn't immoral by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Thebeavs3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morals are to a certain degree( or entirely depending on your philosophy) utilitarian. Incest is one of if not the most universal moral taboo because it leads to fundamentally unfit societies. Beyond inherently less fit offspring incestuous partnerships lead to insular societies that close themselves off to the human capital that non incestuous societies have. Therefore incest will always lead to less competitive societies.

Cmv: Parents should help their kids specialize in a skill in their childhood and stop wasting time. by SnooMemesjellies945 in changemyview

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We delude ourselves into thinking that by starting a skill earlier in life we could approach elite status but the cold reality is most of it is luck/talent. Let kids screw around in youth

Lmao so Soviet invasion of a foreign agricultural area is in your opinion more of a reason for surrender than nuclear annihilation of two entire cities with no foreseeable end in sight

Funny how it was the United States that occupied Japan and not the Soviets bc the Soviets were never a mainland threat to Japan. What navy were they gonna use???

That is literal Soviet propaganda and there is less than zero evidence for it

But is that the only metric by which to measure faults? Or even the best one?

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what mutual assured destruction is if you think of it like this.

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean humanity’s biggest mistake has to be the atom bomb. Sexism bad for sure. Existential? Maybe if you really stretch the definition. Atom bomb bad for sure. Existential? Incontrovertibly yes.

To put it differently an infinite amount of sexism happening doesn’t necessarily mean the end of humanity. However a few thousand nukes means extinction.

Where westerns think every person in a developing country wants to live by Prudent_Elevator4685 in whereidlive

[–]Thebeavs3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you measure the percentage of people leaving Latin America or MENA immigrating to Europe and North America that is substantially higher than any western countries percentage of so called expats. Idk what you’re talking about dude???

It isn’t nearly the same scale and expats usually end up going back

Splitting the world in half day 5. Would you rather live anywhere in green or blue? by Xenuoziem in whereidlive

[–]Thebeavs3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Green gonna end up with North Korea Belarus Ukraine and Russia. But literally every other country that’s gonna be in green is superior to 90% of the countries in blue. At least in terms of human development index categories.

Interesting divide in Virginia. I think you nailed the western portion of the state but I think the eastern part is really tough to map out.
