(shaking head) Just seems like you're looking at this from one quite hawk-ish perspective. Like we did after 9.11. 'Kill everyone that was or may have been involved. With us or against us.' That's not how the world works anymore. It can't be.

What is the current inflation rate? I have it at 3.5%, down considerably from previous years. Also, inflation isn't like putting a hammer to a nail. What influences inflation are things that happen, sometimes years before the rate actually spikes. You still have not made your point or provided evidence to support an opinion. Just saying two things, one of which is open to interpretation, does not a point make.

Nice edit.

And starting this all over again, rather than trying to find a lasting peace, is ok with you? Seems similar to the climate issue. People who aren't going to live to see the effects are fighting every effort to try to address possible issues.

I'll probably regret asking but what does me asking your opinion(that you offered to tell) about abortion have anything to do with trans rights? What is your stance on abortion being available to pregnant persons? was the question that you dodged. I know its reflex now. But I'll give you another chance since you brought up your affinity for women's rights.

Q: How have occupying forces faired in conflict these last 100 years or so? A: Not well. England v India(more than 100 but still), Japan vs China, Germany vs France/most of Europe(twice), Vietnam vs France/USA, Afghanistan vs Russia/USA, Iran vs USA. Missions accomplished? Nope. Israel is going to come out of this looking like a bully and with less support from their dwindling number of 'allies'. Netty is going to go to jail unless they pull a Bollsinaro and flee the country.

Women's rights. Do tell?

We'll see. - Zen Master

A bias opinion from a bias person to defend a bias position that you can't really support, otherwise.

'I don't have a bias I just want them punished/killed for something they had nothing to do with.'

Trying to offer a differing opinion of why they did what they did. Is, in fact, defending them. Belt buckles said 'Gott mit uns'. May have disliked a certain sect of religion(which is another defense you're offering) but used religion to convince people to care out a horrific vision.

and your thoughts on abortion?

Noble effort. Can't be reasoned out of something they didn't reason themselves into. I imagine their delusion runs pretty deep.

Being wrong in assuming something is your default setting. Why do you think that is?
