You have mistaken me to be a pacifistic. There are times when war is necessary, however, that doesn't make war a moral right, it is still wrong but can be seen as a necessary course of action (depending on the circumstances and thought). War can never be a good thing because of its very nature...

My white blood cells do not destroy parts of my body to help me stay safe. As for the quote, Nietzche... I never found his views appealing or remotely wise. But I guess he believed in (in my opinion) of wisdom reaching not from current man but developing anew through destruction of old...

100k people didn't die by chemical weapons, so you must distinguish between the two as later in your post you say we should enter because chemical weapons were used and that's illegal. In addition, I would like to know your limit. Any in house dispute of a country with a death toll of...

Is the war necessary?

The U.N. official says it best: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/37474231/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/t/un-expert-drone-attacks-may-be-illegal/#.UedpyFMRPd0 Simply killing without consulting whether it'd be best to send in a team of soldiers to capture the person is not something I...

I don't think the post needed to be deleted because of the source. That is a bit excessive. The New York Post article was accurate as substantiated by many other news outlets. My other post was deleted, unfairly, so this reply will be a bit different as I wanted to make another point in...

Whatever happened to "due process"? How many children or innocent civilians were killed by this drone strike? I should not expect the U.S. government to behave similar to those that they allege they are protecting us from. Killing innocents all to get towards 1 individual sets a horrible...

You said, "a plane," and I don't know of any "special" aircraft that Venezuela has that could do the job. It is your duty to provide enough of an explanation to get your point across. Lastly, a plane can be considered, a commercial flight as well. Just look up, "plane," and see if you don't...

The assumptions are RIPE within this post. "All Russia has to do is give clearance to the Venezuelan aircraft." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323899704578588351612234478.html YOU: "This so-called human rights activist is prepared to live in Putin's Russia!" As...

Finally the bandwagon hoppers will jump off.

What if they got nothing out of it? Shouldn't they give Snowden asylum because the American government was performing illegal activities and because Snowden exposed the corruption and is now being herald as a person committing "espionage" against the U.S. government?

If that counts, then I haven't been totally sex free. I was more-so thinking about daily activities when I am awake and consciously alert. But from what I can count and remember, I've had less than 10 sex dreams during this period. Monks are able to do it. And, as far as I can tell, this is as...

I have been sex free (masturbation, porn, etc...) for over 200 days now, but recently sexual thoughts have begun creeping into my head again. I want to decrease my sex drive even more as I find it an annoyance. I have not taken anything thus far. I have been suppressing by sheer will power...

Fix, or help the economy, by increasing taxes on everyone. Otherwise, I agree with Nouriel.
