  1. No, the facts have been there all along. Some use un educated opinions to convince otherwise. You need to prove otherwise, and it can't be, because the evidence is there. Conspiracy theories and Big Pharma weren't around when some of them were created, and some diseases could have been totally eradicated if everyone received them when they were out years ago. I haven't been fooled , but you have. You deny facts, so it's not worth going into it. Naivete doesn't help when people's lives are at stake, and I wouldn't want to be the one who told a parent not to vaccinate their child and see them die from a disease, which are definitely around. Vaccines have some evidence of killing people, but they surely have saved a huge percentage more.
  2. Yes, and both sides would lose a lot even without nuclear weapons used, which they wouldn't be. There are over 5 millions Chinese in America, so attacking us would be attacking them also
  3. Those people tried and over 35,000 were killed. This is why it takes a stronger ally to come in and eliminate the trash. Yes, this will cost a lot, but saving lives is worth the money, seeing so much has already been put to making the US the strongest military the world has. Now they can use what they created. The US has exterminated many roaches, just like they did now. The problem lies in that you have to get all of them.The same with human traffickers. You need to get all of them, their money and the clients.
  4. History has shown some vaccines have saved millions. Whoever told you otherwise isn't up to speed
  5. Worked against Germany in the past, doesn't apply now of course. China isn't going to be a problem.
  6. No, pretty much fact based, and history has shown everyone this.
  7. Iran's leader and his followers needed to be stopped. Common sense. North Korea's also, along with a few others. The US has always been the world's police because the US is all countries in one place, and it's called taking care of your citizens and their ancestors and relatives in other countries. Again, terrorism needs to be eliminated, and there are no other ways.
  8. Don't you know what Iran has been doing to other countries, along with their own people, the last 4 decades? Pretty much the same as Myanmar, North Korea, Cambodia, the Uyghur in China, Darfur, Congo, Rwanda, Bosnia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Germany et al, and other countries leaders insane actions.
  9. Of course some are necessary, as history has proven with millions of lives saved. That they've increased the amount doesn't seem right, although new diseases do happen, and some are fatal without a vaccine. The HPV vaccine is surely a good one, as it prevents a few different cervical cancers, along with throat cancer prevention.
  10. Give it time. It might become the 51st state someday.
  11. One reason I'm sure. I had shells hitting near my house and I wasn't dancing around.
  12. Or showing those countries the US isn't going to take any more sh*t from anyone. Terrorist countries have been getting away with a lot of their actions because of this belief. Wars have been going on a long time. Now technology can stop them faster especially if all countries support their destruction. These aren't the countries but those in power who need to be removed, and there aren't any other ways to do this, as they aren't negotiators.
  13. Afghans and Lebanese have been the ones considered least happy.https://www.statista.com/statistics/1373741/ranking-least-happy-countries-worldwide-score/?srsltid=AfmBOoqQ7NHRdjgj6Sp9W--uHdwyWjfwraCYGlYamQyawJi7zHmV27Ir Other countries in Africa also rate low.The happiest are those over 60, which means most of us here..................https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/400667/unhappiest-people-world.aspx
  14. First question to ask yourself is what type of woman are you really looking for. Then you go to where they live. Pattaya and other tourist spots have a much higher percentage of P4P women than anywhere else. This does not mean all women there are hookers. Most aren't, in any tourist area, but are there hoping to find a husband and more cash. The problem is separating the regular women from the ones you purchase. The only way is time, IF you still want to stay there. If you want a regular girl, on some sites, if you don't want to just walk around, hoping to find the right one that speaks at least some of your language, look outside the tourist areas and travel. If you use sites, put down exactly what you're looking for, and expect the usual BS, which again takes time to decipher. Finding a decent woman here usually means looking in the country areas, or in a professional setting in the big cities. Independence means not needing to, or thinking to, drift towards selling your body to men. The normal ones are going to take a lot more time for everything. The easy ones require cash upfront. If you just want to play, Pattaya or any other tourist area will be okay. Just don't expect a commitment to just you. More cash from someone else means goodbye, at least until it runs out with him. Another member here has had a hard time with his girl, wondering what she does when he's not around, and that's not good for the psyche.
  15. The regime needed to be toppled, and hopefully an opening for democracy and a peace for it's people. If you haven't noticed what the regime was doing to not only it's people but Americans and other countries, it's easy to google. Collateral accidental damage happens because they put bases close to schools, hospitals and homes. Surgical strikes don't always go as planned, but that's all we have now. Waiting would have thousands more dying. Better it be the evil first. Common sense. My country has fought for peace for a long time. Peace comes at a cost because insane leaders don't want it. Every country's ancestors has killed for it's land alone, including yours. This is for peace.
  16. Works for some, until a better solution comes along.
  17. France, Vietnam, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, China.
  18. Well, if this one follows what the last one did, he'll soon be turned to ash himself. This action has strength coming from Iran's people where before there was only fear.
  19. I just listed the pros of socialism. The best choice is a blend of the best of all of them.
  20. No, America is hoping Iran's people will now take charge and not bow down to another megalomaniac.
  21. One evil at a time. Costs a lot of money and time to take one on, let alone all evils that exist. Morality is a human natural behavior. It is shaped by environment, development and cultures, some of which are morally different. Biological Roots: Morality is seen as an evolutionary adaptation (or exaptation) that promotes cooperation and altruism within groups. Innate Components: Humans possess natural, inborn capacities for empathy, social pleasure, and self-control to fit into society. Cultural Influence: While the capacity for morality is natural, specific moral codes, norms, and values are cultivated by society, which explains the high variation in morality across different cultures. I believe in God, but religion isn't what has me moral thinking. It helped but wasn't the main reason, as right and wrong isn't religious. As an adult you can make up your mind what is right or wrong. God has laws, but all aren't about religion or him. All governments have ignorant laws, made by men, and accepted by more. That doesn't mean all government thinking is wrong but some, especially individuals, and some of these individuals have power. Iran's government, just like the US, has good and bad, but exterminating people who protest is quite different. Very simple to see the difference between a politician that wants illegals out and killing those who talk and want more freedom and a democracy. Not a comparison. America isn't trying to kill civilians, although collateral damage happens in all wars. It's trying to disarm and eliminate the terrorists, which is mandatory for peace to happen. If there was another way to stop terrorism it would be used. Nothing else works besides stopping them, permanently, hopefully before they do more harm, as in this instance. Again, this isn't about any countries people, but certain individuals, sociopaths, that have no place in society.
  22. From AI, easy to find , but explains them............. Socialism aims to reduce income inequality, poverty, and monopolistic practices by emphasizing collective ownership and central planning for social welfare . Key advantages include universal access to essential services like healthcare and education, reduced wealth disparities, and a strong, protected social safety net. Key Pros of Socialism Reduced Economic Inequality: Wealth is distributed more evenly, reducing disparities between the rich and poor. Universal Access to Services: Provides universal access to healthcare, education, and transportation, regardless of income. Reduced Poverty & Homelessness: Focuses on meeting basic needs, which can lower poverty and homelessness rates. Economic Stability: Reduces business fluctuations by coordinating production with demand, avoiding overproduction or scarcity. Workers' Rights: Emphasizes strong labor rights, trade union recognition, and minimum wages. Public Control of Key Industries: Essential services like energy, healthcare, and infrastructure are controlled to ensure accessibility rather than profit. Cooperation over Competition: Encourages societal cooperation to meet common needs rather than competition. .
  23. Evil isn't a country but some leaders and their followers. The same as Iran. You take away it's evil and the people have a chance to have peace instead of death and fear. People don't have to live with the kind of regime Iran has. The same with North Korea and Russia, This has nothing to do with religions, although some use it as a control. Evil is what is in some people and by definition, profoundly immoral and wicked. Coming from severe psychological issues and low empathy towards others. Everyone has a dark side, sometimes thinking of doing harm but resist because they also have good which overcomes those thoughts and subsequent actions. Easy to understand. Especially if you believe in God. If not, intentionally hurting others is also easy to understand. The rest of the world does understand. Some won't get involved out of fear of loss of some kind. People can change, especially if they are following a leader out of brainwashing and or fear, to become more peaceful citizens. Yes, if you follow God, the right ways, you aren't going to be wanting death and destruction of innocents. You don't have to be a believer to understand the concept of evil and good, although following God's laws would eliminate all evil actions. . It's just being a good human. Supposedly the most intelligent life on earth.
  24. It was definitely an act of terrorism in it's basic definition. Targeting civilians, brutally, taking hostages and creating fear. Terrorism itself has many definitions which are explained in Wiki.............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism
  25. Though I mirror your sentiments on Trump in some ways, I don't look at him being the all deciding factor in this but the Iranian people, along with the Americans this regime has killed over the years. This isn't over by a long way yes. Add to that the fact Iran's regime killed many others in other countries and were looking at death to USA and Israel, something had to be done. This was a long time coming, and none of us here, especially those who aren't Americans, can fully understand all the motives behind this action. We can plainly see how the Iranians in Iran, along with those in many other countries are celebrating the death not only to it's leader, but to the regime itself. They lived it, and only those who have lived it fully know what's gone on. This has to be taken to the end, as Trump himself says along with Hegseth and others, so it doesn't happen again. So Iran can have a normal leader and followers in charge, and democracy. Other countries being shelled by Iran, although a bad thing, will have more joining our side, and the more enemies Iran's regime has, the faster it dissolves. It isn't just Trump's enemies but the whole worlds. All evil needs to be eliminated, everywhere, so everyone can have peace, and guns and other weapons are the only real way this can happen, as some aren't open to negotiation but think radical from the get go. Thank God America does have these weapons, along with strong allies. This is going to cost some innocent lives, along with a big pile of cash, but putting it off will cost a lot more in the long run. Yes Trump is a bit strange, but he does have backers who think like him, at least in this instance. Will he do more for the common man afterwards is anyone's guess, but again, this is a necessary thing he put forward, and hopefully it's the beginning of the end for all terrorists that think America will back down anymore.
