Please tell me exactly how I am wrong about the fact that people tend to fear opposing countries/groups whose capabilities are unknown, and that fear escalates situations into arms races and ultimately ends up in war?

Wow, thanks for all the info! I didn't know a lot of that

I've never flown with them; as an American generally flying domestically, I am exiled to the 7th wrung of hell known as Delta.. Last flight I was on, they separated my gf and I, and the morbidly obese woman next to me brought her own bag of cooked fucking breakfast sausage patties in a gallon ziplock bag.

I didn't know that about the absence of a molten core, thanks for the insight! Yeah I hope that there is the discovery of even microbial life in my lifetime, but I don't know what the chances of that are. Everytime I hear about a new expedition being planned like the submarine probe, I want to lock myself in my house,…

I know that it doesn't MEAN that, but I thought that in our sun's case it was stronger and has been dimming even though it has a lot of time left on it. I guess I am wrong if you have facts to back that up, unless you were just saying that the age logic wasn't accurate.

Someone who knows more than me will probably have an answer to this: if our sun is relatively old, then didn't it used to be stronger than it is today? If that was the case a million years ago, wouldn't that have put Mars in the "Goldilocks area" of the right temperature and conditions to have a sustainable…

See my reply to someone else asking. the parallels are about the mass panic in the public bubbling up until they boiled over, leading to conflict- it has nothing to do with comparing the two governments.

See my reply to another person asking for the answer- the parallel is the mass psychology build up in the public before conflict bubbled over, not the governments. Because that would be fucking stupid.

Yeah I was not an English major...

haha oh you may have misinterpreted- he DEFINITELY earned the right, and made me consider learning to fly a plane hahaha

It was a loose-based argument that people are always scared what the "unknown other side" is going to do, so you beef up your military capabilities, and escalate political talks; the other side does the same out of fear of what you are up to, until it all erupts in a clusterfuck. Germany invading Poland, by my…

Putin just looks like the most difficult-to-impress boss in the world.

eh- while this is scary, I feel like tightening defensive capabilities is what I would be more comfortable with. Being scared of the current "boogy man" is how governments tend to go over the edge on the offense. I/E Germany invading Poland, the Holocaust, the US Civil War, The War on Drugs, etc.

What I am curious about is insurance liability and who is at fault in the instances that you just outlined.

Except they will end up wrapped around a tree way less.

I mean, driving a car is fun, and that is why kids look forward to it, and there is an element of freedom to it. However, in order to drive your car in the "fun zone" it means (generally) being an over-aggressive asshole on the road, and it is another reason that those teens who can finally drive, end up wrapped…

In Ohio (I believe, it could be Indiana, but you can Google it) a woman was pulled over by a police car that was unmarked but had the sirens, and she was raped... SUPER don't stop if this happens to you- call 911 and ask if there are unmarked cars in the area, and alert them that you will not stop until you receive…

I was literally thinking "this guy had sex with every one of these women... And potentially the dude that wouldn't stop singing."

Yeah, I am all for this- when I am watching live TV (which is progressively less and less) the most annoying thing in the world is seeing the same ITT Tech ad 6 fucking times during a 30 minute show. I went to college, and even if I hadn't and MIGHT be interested in your school, you have now pissed me off and made…
