  • This bothers me so much. I know the idea is that if I get rear-ended it would help prevent whiplash. But it feels so uncomfortable that I tilt the seat back. This defeats the point of the headrest and I am sure other saftey features. But if I didn’t I would be constantly annoyed and distracted. That would increase my odds of getting into a forward facing accident.






  • Did you read what I wrote? Seems like you are just looking for someone to argue with. If I attack a guy and he pulls out a gun and shoots me, he still committed murder, but I share some of the blame. It’s not just one or the other. In the middle east it is more like Isreal goaded hamas into attacking it, then pulled out a bazooka instead of a gun. Hamas gets the blame for attacking civilians, and for knowing it would cost it’s own civilian lives. Also for letting Isreal goad them into it. Isreal gets the blame for everything they are doing in response, which is of course a lot more. Anyone intentionally targeting civilians is simply not okay.



  • Sadly they certainly helped. And very likely Isreali agents encouraged and supported them to do it. There are certainly power hungry people in hamas who saw this as an opportunity to increase their power at the expense of their people. Just like the Israeli politicians are openly doing now. And American politicians… and… These people pit two sides against each other for thier own personal gain and to stop the people from seeing the real enemy. Been like this for centuries…




  • Let me correct that for you. It should be: Yes, though I agree you can also see some places where houses were leveled by bulldozer.

    The angle the photos were taken from are also different. That increases the appearance of devastation beyond what is actually there. This image is an intention exaggeration of something that was already unacceptable. Doing so erodes confidence in information about the things happening there. Who knows, maybe this was even created by the IDF for that purpose.







  • He did say “one could say”. And I imagine an argument could be made. I would love to see either side of it with some data. It would be interesting. Like one could talk about how bill gates has poured money into Africa that might not have gone there otherwise. And then the response could outline how the money was taken out of Africa to make the billionaires, though I am not sure if Microsoft makes a lot of money in Africa our not. And I would love to have an informed rebuttal for my own use.
