    I wonder, is there any nation or entity the US doesn’t fund?

    Can’t get played when you play all sides.

    I always love how two nations genocide each other and every English speaking forum ends up with ‘How dare the USA’ lol.

    It’s like people who can do nothing but blame the parents on their child going onto murder everyone when sometimes your child is just shit lol. You absolve so much of their personal responsibility by blaming the son for fathers behavior.

    People really just don’t like the fact that people can and will do evil shit without much justification simply by the way their genetics and culture work.

        What kind of simple minded asinine take are you appeal to extreme’ing about?

        Helicopter or hands-off parenting? The choice won’t impact a kid as much as you think

        Nature versus nurture is a long-standing debate in biology and society about the relative influence on human beings of their genetic inheritance (nature) and the environmental conditions of their development (nurture). The alliterative expression “nature and nurture” in English has been in use since at least the Elizabethan period[1] and goes back to medieval French.[2] The complementary combination of the two concepts is an ancient concept (Ancient Greek: ἁπό φύσεως καὶ εὐτροφίας).[3] Nature is what people think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception e.g. the product of exposure, experience and learning on an individual.

          You weren’t describing nature vs nurture. You were implying eugenics with your last statement.

            Blankets there seems to have a knack for saying asinine things, then acting outraged and claiming the other person is an idiot when they call them out for saying them. I wouldn’t engage; I’d block them but they’re always good for a laugh.

            That’s one way to take it, sure. But we all have the ability to other (to distance other people in our minds from what it means to be a “person”), and from there we can do violence to those we’ve othered. It’s a fairly universal human trait. Culture plays into who you might other as well.
