Followers of Islam are Muslim, Muslims are Islamic, what is the distinction you are making? I guess you are saying to be against the religion versus the followers of the religion.

Either way though, Islam doesn't have to be violent, people use writings from centuries ago to justify violence that would be there without their religion. Islam like Christianity and essentially all major religions preach peace and love for all people, even your enemies. They require doing good service like giving to charity to obtain salvation. Islamic groups have lived peacefully alongside other religious groups countless times.

We have this technology but still only certain perspectives are allowed to be broadcast while others are ignored. I remember meeting people from Palestine when I was young, seeing how nice and chill they were and how they wished they could go back but it was too dangerous. I think it's rare for anyone in the US to have met anyone actually from Palestine or Israel. It's a lot more difficult to dehumanize someone you are friends with.

Complaining about the rich does not mean people that pay 35k for a car. This is exactly the type of attitude that keeps us proletarians stuck in the mud. A person that makes 100k a year and a person that makes zero a year are in the same class. There are the workers, and the rich capitalists. A doctor or lawyer who can buy a nice car is not 'the rich'.

That's true, I shouldn't imply that pizza can't be great without being so greasy hah, it depends on the style. I usually only have just cheese and sauce, the area I'm at is known for it's local pizza and it is usually very greasy, probably because they use quite a hefty amount of cheese, but it's excellent.

I don't have a dishwasher and I don't have time to watch this video about dishwashers right now, but I am really curious, why is the powder better than gel?

Am I the only one who frequently thinks of Tracy Morgan saying "It was all worth it to see them boobies" as the host of some weird reality horror show years ago when I see the word boobies?

I saw this post and was all "yeah, where the hell is the dish window!" But then reading your comment, all these points are pretty obvious and make total sense ahah.

Proper pizza is greasy as fuck, if you haven't had pizza dripping with grease I am worried for your range of pizza experiences.

The real conclusion they are pushing is "blame the rising costs on your friends that download the stuff you pay for." For a propaganda piece, that's not a bad angle to go for.

I see piracy as a great benevolence on the internet. There is one person who I've gotten dozens of Jeopardy episodes from, no one else really uploads them much. They are great quality, with subtitles, posted day of release sometimes. What does the poster get from this in return?
