I'm not sure, maybe confronting the reality of their mortality and foreign hatred. And also seeing their own mates get wasted
If shit really goes down then we can finally put our silver bars to good use, cracking open chestnuts.
I also had the privilege of meeting a (current) SAS soldier since his wife worked for my parent's business (generally their identity is top-secret). He would get drunk and detail the kind of slaughter he reigned on the Afghanis, whilst shitting himself over multiple days in the same spot as a sniper in ruined buildings.
Snipers can have bountys and it can put your family at risk too when you're back home. Just ask Chris Kyle about that. Its more of a quiet thing and the same reason theres no sniper patch. Unless someone is too drunk of course and has a big mouth. I dont know about the English fellas so cant speak for how they do things there.
He must have been smart enough to read the room. We also divulged our adventures but they were less about killing and more about LSD. This particular anecdote is 15 years old..
A 14-year-old boy used his slingshot to fight off someone trying to kidnap his 8-year-old sister[ if this were Australia the kid would have been charged with having a prohibited weapon and the slingshot would have been confiscated!] A teen boy in Michigan fought off his sister's kidnapper with a slingshot, state police say. A Michigan teen used his slingshot to fight off a would-be kidnapper that emerged from the woods and tried to snatch his 8-year-old sister, state police said. Michigan State Police responded to the home in Alpena County, Michigan on Wednesday to a report of an attempted kidnapping, according to The Detroit News According to the paper, police said the girl was "hunting for mushrooms" in her backyard when a 17-year-old boy came out of the woods, grabbed her, and covered her mouth. The girl managed to break free from her attacker while her 14-year-old brother used his slingshot to hit him in the head and chest, police said, according to The Detroit News. According to WPBN, a local NBC affiliate, state troopers said they found the suspect hiding at a gas station near the house with noticeable injuries to his head and chest from the slingshot. Meanwhile, in Australia, the Premier of Victoria holds a drag story show in Parliament for children and their parents. What a sick and perverted society we have become! I am ashamed to be a citizen of this country.
That's what the Byzantines had. Until they did not. https://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2023/03/16/are-we-the-byzantines-n2620664 " But the aging and dying empire battled more than the challenges of internal divisions, or an unforeseen but deadly pandemic and the empire's disastrous responses to it. The last generations of Byzantines had inherited a global reputation and standard of living that they themselves no longer earned. They neglected their former civic values and fought endless battles over obscure religious texts, doctrines, and vocabulary. They did not expand their anemic army and navy. They did not reunite their scattered Greek-speaking empire. They did not properly maintain their once life-giving walls. Instead of earning money through their accustomed nonstop trade, they inflated their currency and were forced to melt down the city's inherited gold and silver fixtures. "
and ripped apart in just a few years during covid... Like the saying goes, it takes a long time to build something, but just an instant to destroy it. Being married for 40 years doesn't prevent you from cheating and therefore destroying everything the next day.
Centuries, you say? A mere 200 years ago they were sending their convicts in chains to Australia and totally messig with most of the world. But of course, they had "a legal precedent protecting their human rights". Utter crap. Even the 19th Century was pretty crap for the working classes, and most women. I mean, seriously, dude. Read a history book.
You are correct, there is now a precedent set that allows government to change any rule they like and force people to do things against their free will. Precedent is a double edge sword. Reminds me of the saying "How did you go bankrupt? Two ways, Gradually and then suddenly". You can use the same saying with how did the rule of law fail, Two ways, Gradually and then suddenly. Complacency is all that's needed for anything to fail. Focusing too much on what's been built, but not enough on the cracks forming.
Yep we just offset it to other countries, same regarding our green energy policy. Just offset it all to other poor countries & send back the finished product, but for the love of god don't stop it. That way we can still enjoy the fruits of dirty industry and forced labor without having to confront it with our own eyes. It's like how the wealthy want population growth and high rise apartments, just not in their suburbs. Can you imagine the reaction from residents of Point Piper & Vaucluse if Meriton was going to build high-rise apartments there to house 50,000 Indians. Watch how fast government will limit the immigration rate.
Corrected it for you. Oh and the fat westerner (and fat Chinese) also justify their actions by saying what you said. They are "supporting" these young girls. Next thing you know places like Epstein island start popping up and are utilized by the very people preaching about gender equality. End of the day either something is acceptable or it's not. BS to say it's unacceptable if conducted in my back yard but perfectly fine somewhere else.
I agree, i think we have gone over the top in the West with too much regulations/banning. If it's good enough to do in another country then it's good enough to do (openly) here. Hence why i think ESG is a BS hippy Greenies concept.
