This is ISIS rhetoric. During the Syria war this is all ISIS sympathizers ever said. It was justified to kill innocent civilians from the opposing side because actually, what would you do? And, when they grow up they’ll kill us, so we have to kill all their children too. You want a source? Just trust me is my source. And it’s obvious why we’re acting this way, just look at our slaughter. Would you prefer your family to die or someone else? Stop acting like a saint, this is the real world (tm). Yea obviously I’m not making an equivalence between israel and isis, so don’t even bother wasting your time making an argument of that, however this is the exact same type of language from isis sympathizers. Which is to say, appealing to the same rationalizations for problematic killings. israel’s war isn’t just about attacking hamas, it’s also about collective punishment.

dude where is @Danioover9000 how did we make it to page 4 without him making a remark

Crazy projection, again.

Crazy projection.

Yes. In this war you mentioned, intellectual capital is why they were victorious. In terms of military support, they purchased limited military weapons from Czechoslovakia, so this was a transaction and not military aid, and that was it. Which is why its victory is remarkable.

They came rich with intellectual capital, that wealth did not disappear. As for your Iran statement, who supports Iran?

So you’re saying you’re not this hacker who’s been spying on Jordan Peterson’s desktop computer for the past decade? Disappointing.

Is it accurate to characterize it as Christian beliefs? It seems like he probably believes the idea that much of the Bible arose from psychedelic experiences, and it’s to be taken metaphorically rather than literally. How much of that can be accurately characterized as Christian belief?

Its a country that formed from a population already rich in success. Because of this, even if it had no adversaries, Israel would still be strong. Israel did not become strong, Israel was born strong.

It’s odd that you mention survival, when your survival is not in jeopardy. The whole Iran, Houthi, Hezbollah drama is just a performance, like it’s always been. None of these groups have shown they are serious adversaries to the state of Israel to threaten its survival—Israel is armed with nuclear warheads and backed unconditionally by the worlds greatest superpower. The only real threat in terms of survival is the Palestinians. But obviously for you, appealing to an extremely unlikely and baseless hypothetical is convenient because its unfalsifiable.

Yes, I’m interested.

i think you nailed it

Someone who shares your values and has a strong emphasis on commitment is a good starting point.

Anyone know what happened to @Danioover9000? He's been MIA for some days now..

I don't know about Russel Brand, but speaking from my own sexuality, finding men sexually attractive/arousing is impossible.

Well a lot of that can all be true but I've known gay males who were never attracted to females, nor can they find that attraction. It's not different with heterosexuals. Russel brand tried to experiment with his sexuality, did gay things with gay men and didn't find any of it arousing or any of the men attractive.

The appeal of Jordan Peterson is he steelmans what has long been characterized in an uncharitable way. One example of a cartoonish narrative that is seeped deeply within western culture is that the patriarchy is just men hungry for power and unashamedly want to oppress the poor members of the opposite gender. It's way more interesting to hear a perspective that challenges this one-sided view than listening and repeating the existing narrative.

If this was true, then homosexuality in cultures that find it problematic would be solved. All homosexuals would be bi-sexual and would be perfectly content with being with a female. Instead we don't see that happening. What we see is that homosexuals find females sexually unattractive.

I graduated from here.

Woah. Henry Kissinger got a Nobel peace prize? There’s just no way

As the Japanese say: Naisu.

And I'm a walking meat bag.

When he says my country he is including the West bank and Gaza. And there it is. There is no justice for the Palestinians in this conflict because it's simply "my land" and you need to get out. Doesn't matter if there was no resistance, no anti-semitism, etc. because if Palestinians were all incorporated from day one, there would be no room today to keep bringing Jews from the outside because of overpopulation. So what you would've had is a majority Muslim country until the very end, which doesn't align with the objectives of a Zionist project; which is to have Jews have a state they can go to as their own. So it all boils down to "you need to leave because it's our land". Everything else was, and has always been, just theatrics.
