But why can’t they make something that smells delicious though like an Indian curry or fried Swiss cheese and eat that instead of nasty-ass fish?

Harm…to the environment, yes.

And I’d be fine with the neighbors cooking up a smelly fish meal if they could just make that food odorless.

But obviously they can’t and that makes no sense, so instead I am a normal human being and just deal with a smell that is not to my preference since it’s completely subjective and can’t hurt me.

I hope when I’m old they just decide to let my generation suffer to correct this fundamentally flawed system that will inevitably collapse at some point. It’s based upon the impossible notion of infinite growth.

I totally agree with you about immigration, but I tend to look at the population issue from a world wide perspective. And from that perspective the population goes up every single year without fail, which to me is a major problem that I hope our species will find a way to overcome.

Wrong? I see people deciding not to have kids as fundamentally a good thing. Coercion into having kids due to government pressure or social norms seems a whole lot more wrong to me. It’s ok to not want kids, it’s not some sort of disorder that needs fixing.

I would absolutely love to see the population go down, even for like a single day, within my lifetime. But considering we’ve added over 2 billion people to the population since I was a kid…I don’t have high hopes.

Thought this was going to be onion for a sec until the second paragraph. My initial thought was yes, I too am celebrating Christmas for the first time this year on Christmas…

So then it isn’t vastly different. Yes?

So then the bombing of Dresden was genocide?

I literally said war is horrible. I’m not at all saying it’s a happy fun thing we should strive towards.

I’m much more worried about a future where we would not be willing to repeat doing whatever is required to stop a fundamentally evil empire that is actively committing actual genocide.

What would have been a better course of action for the Allies that wouldn’t result in greater death and suffering? I can’t think of anything myself… but perhaps you have some ideas beyond surrendering?

Many would argue those atrocities of the past were justified.

Do evil things to prevent greater evil. If you disagree with that, that’s totally ok too. But what would you have had the Allies do in WWII? Just like, lose?

By this definition nearly everything the Allies did in WWII was genocide. To name just a few:

-firebombing of German cities (such as Dresden)

-unrestricted submarine warfare

-bombing of Tokyo

-Hiroshima/Nagasaki

Doesn’t seem vastly different from the firebombing of German cities by the Allies.

War is horrible. But it isn’t always genocide.
