So, what's the problem here? I don't care for Gates but he isn't saying anything wrong. Our country went through the same thing he's talking about. With better health and a better economic future, you don't need 10 kids or have to have 10 kids. That's all he's saying.
I am not sure that is all he is saying, but the chief problem with his position is that it seemingly premises the correctness of the decision to provide aid to others on the foundation that they will be more likely to live BUT won’t be inclined to reproduce as much. If the chart showed they will reproduce, regardless, what is his conclusion about helping others?

Of what? Democratic freedom of self determination? Yes. I would prefer Ukraine stay out from under Russia’s thumb for the sake of the lives of the people of Ukraine. If they did not want that they would’ve rolled over like the Afghans. But they’re willing to fight and die for the freedoms you take for granted typing from your comfy chair in your cozy living room. Ukraine did not ask for this war. You love the idea of self defense when Kyle Rittenhouse is shooting protestors but hate it when an entire country is invaded for conquest.







Wtf? When did the Afghans roll over for anyone, the USSR or the USA? Seriously, wtf?
 
Shit, now I'm going to get 3 pages worth of dion diatribes claiming how they did roll.over and let isis and the taliban take over! My bad, guys.
Obviously I was talking about the Taliban takeover after US withdrawal. It’s not my fault you misunderstood and made two posts about it before it dawned on you what I was referring to.

Hmm, not to me. I hear him saying better health and living conditions leads to fewer kids and a natural birth rate reduction. Our country went thru this. There isn't anything wrong with that position. He said nothing about eugenics or sterilization or a forced reduction in birth rates.

I dont like Gates, I wish you guys would stop forcing me to defend his positions.

Yeah, you don't actually care about any of that wrt to this war. That's a lie and you know it.

And Rittenghouse shot people who were attacking him, not merely "protesters". You're always lying, funny how that works?

And the war media narrative you're regurgitating there is also a lie.
Yes, Rittenhouse shot violent and attacking "protesters". His war position is correct.

With the amount of crazy I have to push back on around here I basically feel like this every day. Let’s attack Democrats, Republicans, and oligarchs for all the shit they actually do, instead of making up windmills about Jewish space lasers to tilt at.

Bill Gates kills kids.

You and I disagree about 90% of the time but dealing with the crazies on here is different. Facts are facts whether we find them convenient or not. Opinion needs to have a solid foundation or it's utterly useless. There are many on here who simply don't understand these simple ideas.

Nailed it. Yeah, the people that beat back the ussr and the usa for about 20 years each just rolled over for the taliban.

Or, perhaps, just mayhaps, that's what they prefer?

Dude. Just stop.

No, it isn't. Maybe (hopefully, for your own sake) one day you'll see. And that's yet again a strawman argument: surprise, surprise, surprise! Golly! (I never said they don't have the right to defend themselves.)

Diony supports this war because he is a Marxist, for ideological reasons, not for the same "reasons" you do. He's just giving you/them lip-service because the narrative works.

Then pray tell what I do care about? What’s your opinion of my “perceived ideological goals” in Ukraine? Quit beating around the bush and speak clearly.

I know why Marxists want the war in Ukraine. You're a self-identified and proud Marxist.

Is Mike Pompeo running for President in 2024. He is well qualified and I would like to see him in the primaries and hear what he has to offer. We need a robust GOP primary that is not so crowded candidates have a hard time getting their message out. Maybe 5 or 6 at the most.

Gearing Up For A Run ??
Biggest fear of Pompeo is that he's a closet Rino like Romney. Let's see who supports him.
 
That test is a really neat artifact. Love seeing stuff like that come out of Kentucky. Few issues with how you’re representing it though. That is the 8th grade test to continue on and qualify for secondary education that comes from an institution. Basically the equivalent of college entrance today. Combine that with the emphasis on wrote date memorization that’s irrelevant to our modern world where we all have computers in our pockets now and it’s really not that hard. Most college bound high school students with respectable GPAs know much more than that test, just spread more through math, languages, and science rather than history by dates and names. I mean I did calculus in HS. And anyone can look up all the countries of Europe and their capitals in under a minute on their phones. Just a different world today that requires different education. Love the core emphasis on history though, wish even today that we focused more on the themes, stories, and personalities of that history rather than just dates and names. What happened and what that teaches us for today is much more important than who did it on exactly what date.
Understand what youre saying. I still stand by the assertion that most students today, even college kids, could not pass this test.

2 things true at once.
 
Exactly. To capitalists we are cattle. You vaccinate your cattle. Not because you care about their individual lives, but because they’re your asset you need alive to make money.
Not the point i am making at all. The fatcats may view us that way, i would concede that.

I think most small businesses actually try to earn money by adding value to our lives.

I guarantee that govt views us all as a commodity. And not as individual humans.

I’ll see your Jewish space lasers and raise you a Guam tipping over and a marriage to a brother. .
