There are also kings in the Middle East, and all over Asia and Africa.

I’m sorry to be a wet rag but the comic is simply innacurate.

There are still plenty of kings in the world.

My point exactly.

Perhaps we’re just not as interesting as we think. Maybe aliens don’t want to contact us for the same reason I don’t want to contact kids playing in the park: I’m simply uninterested in whatever they’re doing.

My family has been doing this for several generations. My race is so ambiguous and I love it because I can jive with so many ethnic groups.

What are some of the harmful things that he’s attached his name to? I’m out of the loop…

What sort of discussion topics are you interested in?

“Right near the beach… BOYEE!”

Is dark matter still a thing?

Serious question: is x = my + b also a slope intercept? Why is it only calculated via the y axis?

Did that happen to you?

What is so bad about living with your parents? That’s still the norm in many parts of the world. For some reason western countries, and especially America, have exaggerated the benefits of being financially independent, as if shared resources were some kind of failure.

I beg to differ. The only people who lose when we share resources are the capitalists.

I’ve got a few friends in their thirties who live with their parents and the whole family is very happy. And although my kids are only six and three, I can’t imagine any reason why I wouldn’t want them to continue living in my house for as long as they needed support.

We all need support. It’s not a shame. It’s an asset more valuable than property, imho.

And then bomb them

So what do you think is the reason why the US is giving so much advanced weaponry to Israel?

That’s how extremism spreads…

You seem to know a lot about US military activity. Which branch are you in?

That’s exactly my point. Israel is a US military base, from which it conducts a variety of operations in the region. It is very valuable to US foreign policy.

Unfortunately the Biden administration has accepted that sponsoring genocide is a fair price to pay in exchange for that advantageous position in the middle east.

OK. I apologize for treating this like a multifaceted issue.

If by “we” you mean America then I would say that America gets an ally right in the heart of the Arab world, which is frequently opposed to American ideologies. The strategic location is enough to justify the American government’s investment in Israel because it facilitates the US foreign policy, for better or for worse.

I’m not defending their’s or Israel’s actions. I’d just like to remind everyone that the whole region is tense and complex. It has always been. Oversimplification of the issues leads to even more conflict, in my opinion.
