boner confessor posted:the reason authoritarians are so big into physically disciplining their kids is that it turns the kids into a nervous wreck or the kid survives it and becomes a little drone, from the parents perspective It also teaches them that 'might makes right' (do what I say because I'm bigger and stronger than you and will hurt you if you don't) which is a great way to raise little bullies.

Boon posted:America's relationships will be fine after Trump so long as: If Trump makes approaching the world state hat in hand politically tenable, we could actually end up in a better position in the long run. If trump's the archetypal ugly American, there'd be a lot of value in publicly rejecting him. "We promise not to be like trump anymore" would play well at home and abroad.

No. He allegedly stole a poster in front of his "tour guide" that accompanies all foreigners. He denied it, but then confessed to vandalism after being in prison for a while.

The official explanation is that it's because Cuba has a poor record on human rights. Which is hilarious in light of Trump bragging about selling weapons to Saudi loving Arabia only two weeks ago.

HappyHippo posted:Is there any indication he actually did anything besides the word of the North Korean government (and his forced confession)? they have a security cam video which isn't conclusive but is plausible also, NK doesn't have a precedent of randomly kidnapping westerners. typically there's some reason for it, even if that reason is shady or overly inflated. but NK is protective of their small tourism industry which is vital to their economy as one of the sole sources of foreign currency available to them - why else would a totalitarian pariah state even admit tourists in the first place? randomly throwing your tourists into kangaroo court seems counterproductive and i don't believe that NK are bond villain crazy

With the trial he had and the scarce evidence that was presented he might as well have done nothing.

RevKrule posted:So uhhhh, this seems kinda perjury-tastic right? The thing is, in other contexts, this would be "knows a guy who knows a guy", because Sessions probably does meet with hundreds of lobbyists, etc. But two days ago, he said under oath that he had no contact, etc. Just like his tongue slipped in his congressional confirmation hearings. In the situation, its not an easy thing to forget. Like, "I guess this fell off the back of a truck" might be a good excuse in certain situations, but not when you are the Attorney General of the United States testifying under oath in front of a congressional committee.

R40 and B6 made me go into manic-depressive until puberty. Can't use it in Europe because of this. Research however is unclear it's not a large population it affects and it is very hard to study.
