I have lived with Bipolar Disorder (Technically Bipolar II) my entire life. Up until the age of 35 I "enjoyed" more manic periods of time rather than depressive episodes. I say "enjoyed" because I never had full blown mania, just periods of insomnia and intense creativity and restlessness. I would take that any day…

We're aren't privy to the security video within the elevator of the incident. Those who are changed this from an assault with equal participation to third degree aggravated assault. I think that tells us everything we need to know. Conversation over.

Ur the bad-ass looking to knock people out. You do realize there is an enormous level of escalation from someone hitting someone to someone getting knocked out?

nah, not worth it.

I'm here to give you the attention you desperately crave.

You should read up on what happened to the cities in Europe during the Black Plague. When half a city's population dies overnight, the structure of society completely breaks down, and the weight of the sudden loss of those people who baked the bread, threshed the wheat, drove the carriages, policed the streets, etc, …

Not to mention, that what they're achieving with this is that future generations will associate Jews with being violent invaders and perpetrators of massacres, rather than all the prosecution that their endured throughout the years. It's a disservice to their ancestors that were actually marginalized and murdered.

This is unsurprising. When some of the greatest power holders in the world support your cause, you tend to feel pretty fucking empowered to do and say whatever you want.

"As a Jew, and as someone who has been raised to always support Israel (which, according to my parents, is my spiritual home, although I have never been)"

Shut the fuck up Shruggalo.

I'm so glad this post popped up. I've been thinking about this for quite a while now.

No need to apologize, you were demonstrably wrong. You're still wrong as you attempt to highlight the magnificent discoveries made and the inventions designed to make our world a safer and better place to live. Those wonderful scientists, designers and builders don't exist on an island, they are heavily subsidized by…

This whole world is competitive. You have to compete for love, a job, personal space, and many other things.

If you didn't finish the article, how can you be sure your points aren't addressed? Why even comment at all if you didn't get through the whole thing?

Most of the world runs because of a small fraction of people who make things and keep things running. The rest of us are reaping the benefits of their ingenuity and labour.

You tried to create plausible deniability with your statement but as you can see, everyone can see right through it. You're not as clever as you think you are. Must be from the "wrong culture."

Hey, look! Ayn Rand has a Burner account!

"Homogenous" is dogwhistle for all-white. Whenever this topic comes up, whites covertly blame America's education lag on minorities.

Worth noting on the standardized testing/educational competition stuff you write about here: Finland, arguably the world's best educational system, explicitly discourages that kind of thinking and focuses on equality instead of competition.
