Now, here's a challenge for you: name an elected government that's the polar opposite. The greatest by assemblage of premium-grade idiots to have ever managed by any civilisation. I know - it's a very hard question.

It's all set forth under section 1, 'Notice of invasion', subsection 3, 'conditional treatment of natives'.

They're busy taking risks and breaking things. They can't waste their valuable time in jails and stuff like that, sir.

Jails are for losers -- not Peter Thiel.

I don't understand why these don't get outright banned, in every country.

Not just their living conditions, but their cruel slaughter in the name of religion ought to get banned, too. Countries claiming to have animal welfare laws, roll out special exemptions for religion for killing them in a fashion than can only be described as deliberately cruel.

To the larger point, all exemptions in the name of religion must stop. You don't get special treatment just because you read Harry Potter.

The 'you' this article--and other articles like this--mentions, doesn't definitely include you, nor me, nor people like us.

Recently, Jensen Huang reportedly said he doesn't know where he lives (the address) with a straight face. This 'you' situation here is kind of like the Jensen situation: neither party understands what it's like to be the other party.

When you sign trade deals with US, you're essentially enslaving yourselves to them. What Meta is asking is essentially that. The former is usually done covertly; the latter is done overtly. That's all. Nothing new here. Classic US way of doing business.

If you're not OK with the terms, you think you can walk away, right? R i g h t?
