  1. It's more nuanced than that. The religious right is a powerful constituency in Israel, just like in the US. That's part of democracy. He can't just ignore them.
  2. You are being small-minded. I am speaking of larger things. What you call "undermining democracy and rule of law" is a matter of perspective. It's important that you can appreciate a person without needing his perspective to agree with yours. I am not here to whitewash Netanyahu. But I appreciate him as a serious politician. Same as I do with Putin. These are serious people, not buffoons like Trump. No he isn't.
  3. There's many degrees to it. He has a basic understanding of God now.
  4. Israel exists in the Middle East, on contested land, where all their neighbors would like to see them exterminated. It's also a tiny country and a new country. And it's full of religious zealots.
  5. Ethnic violence is as old as mankind. You're never gonna find who started it.
  6. That's an interesting question. If survival is the chief distraction, survival used to be much harder. So was it more distracting back then or more distracting today?
  7. Do you have any sense of how difficult it is to lead a nation?
  8. Not specifically. Infinity. Once you understand Infinity deeply enough you understand that Hell is a part of it. David Hawkins has a lecture where he describes his descent into Hell. It used to be on YT but his goons copyright-stuck all the clips.
  9. There's your answer. His girl was already attracted to him from previous interaction. And you were just a stranger. The odds of any random girl getting attracted to you are quite low. So don't take it personally. The problem was the whole setup. If you want to reliably attract girls you need to go to a place where there are lots of girls who you can hit on. Not one girl. You were basically on a blind date. No surprise it didn't work out.
  10. Your moralism is limiting your appreciation of finer things.
  11. Part of being a moron is considering yourself to not be one.
  12. Netanyahu and Trump is nothing alike. Trump is a buffoon, Netanyahu is a serious and thoughtful leader. You don't have to like his policies to appreciate his leadership skill.
  13. Pushing for Taiwan independence would be an inflammatory move. The wiser course is to not kick a hornet's nest.
  14. Stars that glow the hottest burn out the soonest. Basic astrophysics
  15. Walmart needs to make a dating app. Uniting the bottom of the gene pool.
  16. Haley has no chance. The Trump madness is too strong.
