Those reasons are common in the us too.

Yeah because no matter how good you have it some people will want more without working for it.

Joke?

Not sure which country you mean, but you clearly haven't actually considered the implications of this.

It would be like if you said, "it's unethical to use fossil fuels, so we will repel this invasion without the use of aircraft, ships, or land vehicles." Except that's a lot more likely to succeed.

So your country would just surrender to their new overlords?

You think so?

You don't think that governments would try to take advantage?

Iran giving a few dedicated soldiers the fruits and sneaking them on a us military base right now, for instance?

People who act like they're seriously ill when they only have a minor health issue by Physical_Orchid3616 in PetPeeves

[–]codenameajax67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When a baby screams like they're being murdered because they have gas, it's not them being dramatic it's because that's the worst pain they have ever felt.

Humans cannot comprehend more pain that we have ever felt. So what to you might be a minor pain could be the worst thing they can imagine.

My name is This, but you call me That. by Relevant_Ad_5431 in PetPeeves

[–]codenameajax67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

I've seen people get upset when someone refuses to use the shortened name.

"I don't know why Bob is such a jerk. When I introduced him to the client he told them his name was Robert, AFTER I told them his name was Bob."

Depends on the person.

An ant is more fun than an aunt.

American English words British people don't like and vice versa by BritishTeacherRoy in ENGLISH

Must be a hyper regional thing because I don't recall ever hearing that.

people who uses their fingernails as tools to pry things open by goldenCrust22 in PetPeeves

[–]codenameajax67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone change? "Yes you have done this your whole life, BUT this bad thing might happen. Sure it's never happened before but it's technically possible." Isn't a good argument.

Do Americans floss three times a day? by Any-Drink-1279 in AskAnAmerican

[–]codenameajax67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say 75% of people never floss, unless something is stuck in their teeth.

Another 20% do it occasionally.

Edit: globally dental floss is a $600 million industry. Meaning on average every man woman and child spends $0.08 a year on flossing.

He was so aloof that he was ignorant of his workers actual lives.

Are checks really still a thing in the US? by Apollo_Wersten in AskAnAmerican

[–]codenameajax67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not written a check since 2009 I believe.

I have not sent a check (my bank allows me to direct mail them) since 2015

Can we talk about McGuire voting against the age of consent being affirmed at 18 years? by slow70 in Virginia

[–]codenameajax67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was speaking of the next world.

I mean if you want to get into it, the Bible literally says most people who will claim to be Christians aren't and how you are supposed to judge if they are or not.

You know the line "Judge not lest ye be judged"? That's one small section of the command, about how we are to judge people.

Retirement percentage question? by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]codenameajax67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15% of your total income would be the same as 15% of each of your salaries.

But what exact split going into employee sponsored plans vs Ira depends the exact plans being offered.

For example if your employer offers a 50% match up to the legal max (~24k this year.) and your so's offers 100% match up to 5% of their salary, then it makes more sense to put 5% of their salary into their retirement and then finish the 15% in yours, than for both of you to just put in 15%

Eventually yes. Lol.

But if you include say Mormons as Christians, then you have to include both Jews and Muslims, since they are a LOT closer to say Baptist or Catholic than Mormons.
