Natural doesn't mean peaceful or pleasant. Nature is jam packed with violence and conflict. The universe is an exceptionally violent place, that is natural.
Wrong, not just as easily. The way we do things is mostly influenced by our emotions and urges. The orange toddler isn't an asshole because he chose to be that way, he's an asshole because of his neurology and life experiences.
Animals are aggressive and selfish, with certain exceptions. We will not easily change that. Sure, we could build a different world, but only if we can cast off our base urges first.
To become a part of a fully federated EU? I don't think so. I would love to be an EU member, but I wouldn't want to stop being Canada either.
I've often dreamed of a world where there are no countries, just a single global government. I think it would be great, but I don't think it's realistic at this time. We'd need to undergo a lot change before that could become feasible.
Another issue I would have is not being able to control our foreign policy. Canadians have seen first-hand just how dangerous it is to get in bed with the united states, and we can't afford to go back to that. If we became a single unit, we'd be beholden to any relationships made with the u.s., which is unacceptable.
We wouldn't want to become dominated by them again, so we couldn't surrender our autonomy. I would very much like to join the EU, but I would not want to give up my national identity either. I'm not some ultra-proud patriot, though I do love my country. I'm just not content with the idea of not having control over what affects us.
I love Europe and I hope we can become closer friends, but I wouldn't be willing to surrender our autonomy completely.
I've been imagining him as a demon. Imagine he was in a movie, playing a demon. Imagine the makeup the team would apply to his face. Can you picture it?
Isn't this just a normal day in Russia? I assumed this was the case all along. Suppression of dissent is one of the fundamental tools in the tyrant's toolbox.
Well, we'd better take all my legally owned guns away then. They're obviously the problem. Let's ignore the largest source of firearms used in crime: the border.
How about those who attack, harass and intimidate anyone?
What about a law that says you have an automatic probation period. If you're not a citizen, any law you break results in deportation?
If you go to another country, you better make damned sure you obey the law and behave in a civil manner. If I moved somewhere, I would fully expect to be thrown out when I behave like an idiot.
At some point, he thought this would make everything better. He thought: "Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll do that." This is a prime example of how his brain simply doesn't work.
Did anyone really think it was going to end up any other way?
It's a good thing she's pretty then.
Yes.

I guess he hasn't learned the meaning of the term defence pact.

That figures...
This person is easily amused.

You mean a trillion more? They're already paying that just to have a military.
I would alter that slightly and say "flies into a building"
I would say mostly, not overwhelmingly.
That's kinda what they do, no?

I love watching people stand up for their morals. It makes me feel less alone.
Oh geez. That's not a great development.

Absolute genius level governance.
