Iraq independently passes shitty law

This is all America’s fault even though they aren’t there and have nothing to do with it

Surely if left to their own devices, a woman and LGBT friendly paradise would be there

America Bad even when an independent country makes its own decision somehow

You realize that by reducing all political activity in Iraq to the invasion of Iraq, you are posing the Iraqi people as puppets with no will of their own?

Putin loves white nationalist bullshit lol

Cry harder, fash

Holy shit you must be 13 if you think RvB is from the 90s.

What do you do when you have prepared for nothing but peace and someone else brings war? That’s what the idiom means: you don’t prepare for war because you want it, you prepare for war because war literally never happens when you would like except when you are the one invading. If you want peace, you have to be prepared to defend yourself against people who do not desire or understand peace.

In what fucking universe are mergers and acquisitions difficult my man

You have a lot of terms conflated in a way that tells me you would benefit from learning more about these ideas.

Natural selection is the opposite of a motivation. All it really is this: Traits that help an organism live to reproduce or do not adversely affect its opportunity or ability to reproduce will continue to propagate in a population of organisms. Traits that hinder an organism in reproducing or adversely affect its opportunity or ability to reproduce will gradually be expressed less. There isn’t a motivation for that, it’s a self-selecting process. If an organism can’t reproduce, it can’t pass its traits on to the next generation. If it can reproduce, it can pass its traits on to the next generation.

Life isn’t motivated to survive because an omnipotent superintelligence wants it to be. All the life that didn’t give a shit about surviving didn’t live long enough to propagate.

Natural selection does not provide an origin for life or the universe. I agree with the other poster who mentions that organic matter - and life - is a result of the basic nature of matter in the universe. I wouldn’t say I know much about the origin of the universe, but inserting a god into it just kicks the can down the road. Every issue you might have with the big bang is just moved one completely unverifiable step away by throwing a god into the equation. Who made god? And, if god can exist without being created, why could not the universe?

No shit, they were discussing the possible geopolitical implications, not saying China is uniquely duplicitous. Please use your media literacy to not insert words into people’s mouths.

Assange got e-mails for both Republican and Democratic parties from a Russian hacker associated with the Kremlin and then specifically chose to withhold the Republican e-mails and release the Democratic e-mails. If he meant anything he said about transparency, he would have released everything, but that’s not what he or his employers wanted. They wanted their puppet president in Trump, and Assange was happy to help like the Russian asset he is.

if we punish rapists for rape, good luck finding any non rapist journalists!!!

Just fucking unhinged

No you see, it feels like the US supplied it and that’s good enough for them

Why can’t these activists be activists in a way that I don’t have to hear about and inconveniences no one???

If you’re mad about this, wait until you hear what will happen to all the art during the climate wars lol

See, if might makes right, then the almighty is alrighty!

Even worse, heaven is a never ending church service. An eternity of God fellation, as if that isn’t torture as well.

Like 12 idiots on the Internet who then decided to never shut the fuck up about it.
