He lied. Again and again and again.
Don't try to make out like your choice to have a child is because you want to 'spread happiness'.
It's a biological imperative to perpetuate your genetic code and is the single most selfish and egotistical thing you can do with your life.
Don't delude yourself that it is anything different than any other species procreating.
This is true for some, not others.
Men to do it to end their own existence and choose things like hanging, gunshot, jumping off a bridge etc.
Even the 'white man's burden' is viewed by many as a necessary endeavour. It's the number one criticism I have of my own country (and I have many).
It's nationalist propaganda that panders to exceptionalism and it seems to have worked on half of the electorate unfortunately.
It's even more arrogant when you are citing fairy tales as the evidence that you have some insight into the subject that they do not.
Why?
You still need to cover your basic expenses, homeless or not.
They are just sour that their precious tech companies are being brought to task for behaving like shitty house guests by not following the rules.
These companies might be able to get away with whatever the hell they please back home but get this; the American Way isn't the only way.
It's just a very shitty dismissal of the very real concerns of US tech companies and their disregard for the laws and regulations in the countries in which they operate. Laws and regulations that EU companies have to follow too.
The only real upset here comes from companies like Google, and their rabid supporters at the prospect of them not being able to implement their shitty consumer-hostile, ring-fencing business model in other countries.
Google were given two year's notice before this fine. TWO YEARS.
It's their own damn fault and the fine is punitive, as it should be.
You're kind of proving his point by saying this as if solitude is undesirable, when clearly it is desirable to him (which I understand completely).
The idea that people naturally veer to the right of the political spectrum as they age is a myth.
You do not argue in good faith.
Once people start actively calling for the deaths of others based on race or religion or creed, that's where the fundamentally opposing ideologies are found that are only resolved through violence.
The lesson we should be learning from history is that appeasing racist fascists doesn't improve things, it only emboldens them by validating their beliefs as acceptable.
I'm not advocating stripping humanity from anyone, because I am fully aware that it is humans who create and commit these abhorrent acts. White nationalists, neo-nazis, whatever you want to call them are absolutely human. They are also all total shithouses that pose a threat to stability and harmony in the same way ISIS do.
They either stop what they are doing, or the blood of both sides runs in the streets. They are the only two options when it comes to beliefs like this. The problem is, the blood running in the streets is often what they want, and what we get.
Would you empathise with Reinhardt Heydrich? How?
I mean, that's just off the top of my head.
Nobody thinks the EU is perfect and it can improve in many ways, but your lies don't convince anyone of anything.
Another benefit is not having an audio player tethered in one place.
A third benefit is being able to change the audio settings from any one of a half dozen devices in my house.
Okay, but that's just wireless tech. Why do they need to be constantly connected to the internet and phoning home?
I have no doubt in my mind that some people do want this.
His first response is the most significant.
