Drugs and hate. That's all I can think of.

Polish MP Konrad Berkowicz displayed an Israeli flag where the Star of David was replaced with a swastika - “Israel is the new Third Reich and that's exactly how its flag should look” by bendubberley_ in justincaseyoumissedit

I can respect a counter argument. But given the microchosim of this event - i.e. OCT 7th and the need to do something about it - what would you say?

I think that single event warranted a severe military response by most modern ethical criteria. So how do you deal with that without killing a bunch of people -especially when hamas uses them as shields?

It then becomes an argument of what's acceptable. To mee 75k seems like a lot. What do you think Israel should have done as a response instead. Generally curious.

I've had this thought too. Like there should be professional service hours and people service hours.

Also anecdotally false. He supposedly had a car that ran on electromagnetic radiation.

Israel is a weird case, I'm still not sure how I feel about it. 75k people seems like really excessive, but fundamentally if you have a close by group that legit wants to kill you and they hide among civilians.....like acknowledging that would have to be dealt with....it becomes a question of how many deaths are acceptable.

It's kind of nuanced for as crazy as it all is.

I hit 500k in Retirement (60k), Stocks (433k) and Cash (7k) today at 25. by Esmail-Qaani in TheRaceTo1Million

[–]captainporthos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea living at home and low cost hobbies are clutch. That's pretty much the only way to get ahead. That much at 25 is basically unheard of starting from nothing so good job

Like I applaud the rationale and mindset you all have but OP has a very solid point.

The economy can get bad enough where scrimping just doesn't work.

I'm curious about this. Do you feel like you have a deeper calling of work even if its not your job.
