  1. Those who criticize Israel but are unwilling to condemn Hamas are fooling themselves.
  2. As well as all other animals by only eating plants.
  3. I couldn't be happier with everything happening. The U.S. was falling apart before January 20th with all the illegal aliens coming into our country. A country isn't a country without strong borders, that's just common sense. Anyone's attempt to reason themselves out of that is just delusional and valuing an unrealistic, communal utopia where humans have evolved far sooner than they will.
  4. Exactly, Gambler. Lila, that ego is damn good at suppressing our soul’s creative drive!
  5. The more veganism is mentioned, the sooner humanity will evolve to finally respect animals AND themselves.
  6. Oh give us a break. If nonhuman animals had our capacities they’d go through all the same crap we’ve been going through in our slow evolution.
  7. I don't think it's helpful to write off a public figure's perspective and work just because they have a certain viewpoint we might disagree with.
  8. The problem is a lot of these terms need to be defined because they are not objective enough. What exactly is "rampant sexism?" What is "powerful nationalism?" When is national security "obsessive?"
  9. Leo and Gambler, that Shapiro tweet in your attachment refers to Arab leadership and Arab supporters of terrorist groups. It was part of a conversational thread. Here's what he says in the following tweets: He also addresses your attached tweet in the following column: And during a public Q&A that's in a video available at the following link I received all of this from: Source: https://www.dailywire.com/news/so-heres-giant-list-all-dumb-stuff-ive-ever-done-ben-shapiro
  10. Aren’t both of you right, minus the “benefit of all” part?
  11. What constitutes cruelty? Because I think buying any animal product at the store is being just as complicit in it.
  12. Everyone has serious flaws. Once I had the courage to be honest about a strong disagreement I had with a man I idolized, it revealed my ego’s desire to conserve energy by looking to someone else for all the answers.
  13. I appreciate your willingness not to label and ignore people based on certain perceptions or beliefs. It’s very open-minded and communal.
  14. “Significant portions of the Amazon rainforest are being cleared in preparation for a climate change summit. Specifically, tens of thousands of acres of protected rainforest in Brazil are being cut down to build a four-lane highway, known as Avenida Liberdade, for the COP30 climate summit scheduled for November 2025 in Belém. The highway, stretching over about 8 miles, is intended to ease traffic for the expected 50,000+ attendees, including world leaders. Drone footage and satellite imagery have documented the deforestation, showing cleared paths through previously lush, protected areas. Local officials claim the project includes ‘sustainable’ features like solar lighting and wildlife crossings, but conservationists and some residents argue it contradicts the summit’s purpose—tackling climate change—since the Amazon is a critical carbon sink and biodiversity hotspot. Critics also point out that the construction could open the door to further deforestation by increasing access for illegal logging or development. The irony hasn’t gone unnoticed: a summit meant to address environmental crises is directly causing ecological harm. Posts on X and reports from sources like the BBC and Newsweek confirm this is happening, with locals reporting losses of livelihoods—like açaí harvests—without compensation. The Brazilian government defends it as a necessary modernization effort, but the backlash is loud and clear.” - Grok 3 Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit | BBC News
  15. I see spirituality as that which involves valuing the higher-self. I suppose everyone's definition of spiritual enlightenment is vast and different because we all interpret the higher-self differently. For example, I don't think the use or killing of animals and the consumption of animal products is spiritually enlightened, but does that mean I think any nonvegan's definition of spiritual enlightenment is void? Of course not.
  16. Not Trump, he values the U.S. Constitution, unlike many others.
  17. I’m genuinely curious what your opinion is about what views.
