You can't just compare countries like that. Iraq and Sudan are much smaller countries and the police don't have full control there, a lot of criminals literally control areas and do whatever they want. Also they probably have primative reporting, police who work with the gangs and are corrupt, and many of the criminals getting weeded out by the military or rebels. America is a far bigger country than Germany with a far higher crime rate. It's just a different country, America has way more guns available meaning it is far more likely for a fight between a civilian and a cop to turn into a fire fight than in Germany. No one is saying that police brutality and excessive force shouldn't be addressed, but no country in the world would not allow a cop to respond with lethal force if you try to tase them in the face, not even Germany. Just assuming the police are in the wrong by default isn't going to help the problem.

@Godhead In 2018 Germany had 901 murders, and the USA had over 16,000. The rate of Germany's police killings is irrelevant, look at the size of Germany's population and amount of murders compared to America's. There are more violent criminals in America so the police kill more often. @Preety_India The drunk guy followed their orders perfectly fine for 30 minutes before he went nuts and started fighting them. Nothing indicates that he was attacking them because he didn't understand their orders. Even if he didn't understand their orders and that's why, it doesn't matter, whatever the reason is once you point a taser at a cop's face they can respond with deadly force. He wasn't killed as punishment for a DUI, he was killed because he tried to shoot a cop in the face with a taser and the cop responded by defending himself. Why not involve weapons when arresting a drunk person? If you are afraid the drunk person is dangerous enough to steal them, that is more reason to bring them, if they didn't have them that would mean they end up in a fist fight with a drunk person. The police always need to be a step ahead. The police did arrest him without using a taser or guns, it was only until he started resisting that they tried to tase him, and only when he aimed the taser at them that they shot him. They couldn't have easily chased him down because he pointed a taser right at the cop's face, there is no place in the world where you can point a taser at a armed cop's face and they can't respond with lethal force, the cop can't just stand there and let himself be tased in the face. You don't understand how dangerous the situation is, a taser shot at you by a drunk person can result in death, paralysis, losing an eye, a cop cannot allow themselves to be subdued because then their gun can be stolen. He was clearly a threat to the cops because he already assaulted them and was aiming the taser behind. It doesn't matter if he has trouble aiming, he was trying too, and was in distance where it could hit. The police fired at him because he tried to shoot them in the face with a taser, not because they got tired of running. If it was the second reason, they would have shot him right as he started running not until he reached behind with the taser. The cop was fired because the police department had to quell the angry mob.

he pointed the taser at him though

btw after this the police officer did get fired after protesters burned down the wendy's. Here is the full video:

Good video on the problems with the demands to change and defund the police and how it could make the problem worse.

He answers it at 23:43 I don't have a link but he said in another video he has the same peace all the time, sometimes it's more intense, and he occasionally feels angry or sad for a couple seconds like when his parents died when he was watching tv and saw some people kicking a dog but then it goes away.

Porn doesn't just give you a sexual release. It changes you, dulls your senses, and it's addictive. If something has a 30% chance of addicting you, that is serious. There are now hundreds of accounts of men who quit porn saying that it's changing their lives, they think clearer, have less anxiety and depression, and feel butterflies when a girl smiles at them.

There are specific pathways in the brain designed for sex. Porn is literally conditioning it to behave differently. Simple explanation as too why it's not the same, how intense does it feel to masturbate to porn compared to how intense it feels to talk on a forum? The intensity is the result of serious chemical reactions in the body that are addictive.

It's not, humans did not evolve to watch sex on a screen like that. It rewires the mind.

Trump has no chance at this point. If you look at the polls and study the map it's obvious. I know polls said Hillary would win, but it's not the same, even if the polls are as wrong now and you remove the lead Hillary had from Biden's lead, he's still winning by a lot.

This is surely really difficult, but you are letting your ego (identity) take over and give you needless suffering. Notice how extreme your dialogue is, "I can't live with this", "my life is over". Talk to a therapist, let your irritation be your spiritual teacher, in that respect it can be a large advantage. You can keep looking for alternative methods, even if you don't have perfect function back you can still have a fulfilling sex life. Even if it takes time, that time is going to pass anyway.

I'm guessing you are already aware of this but, I've heard it's possible to bring back the foreskin partially by tugging the skin slowly over a long period of time.

The most famous awoken people aren't the most famous because they are the most awake, but because they were the most intelligent and creative people who awoke and were able to explain it well. Most people who wake up probably can never explain what happened and just kept it to themselves.

It's a factor but most emissions and consumption is done by the richest people and richest countries.

There was massive pressure to declare OJ innocent.

It's a fallacy to assume they are being alarmist just because what they say is alarming

Why is everyone assuming the end conviction will be the actual answer? There is so much public pressure it will surely effect the judge's decision.

This is a situation where you'd want to act before the pain starts. That's why there is such an emphasis on tipping points, because it is essentially a chain reaction. The chain will have already triggered by the time enough pops off to get everyone on the same page.

It isn't that simple. A climate catastrophe would set us back, our technology would not keep advancing like that. You're counting on our technology outpacing the climate, at this rate it is not. You're also forgetting how humans react to things, imagine the amount of violence and nationalism that will be generated from catastrophe's. The majority of humans live near coasts, that means the majority of people will need to relocate. Models show parts of south asia and India will become too hot to be habitable, considering the recent heat waves it isn't improbable.
