Oh good. Sounds great. Ask Chinese Catholics how the Pope helped them - should be totally inspiring.
Can't say I'm confident it's the same kid just yet. Tend to be very conservative/cautious about linking real people together (or to themselves).
And that's probably going to be my afternoon rabbit-hole - will likely report back later.

Why can't you move, tho?
How are you confirming it's him?
You got all of your information from Rambo, huh?
Ah - ok. I get that. :)
(I initially kinda thought you were one of the "I can't leave because I'm scared to do that" anons. My bad!)
>an entire high school career of harassment by a corrupt force
Ok. You get a pass based on youth. :)
Aww man…
Go get 'em, Tiger.
That's, like, everybody. C'mon.
You've really got to get a grip on the use of "who" and "whom".
(Sorry. Not a grammar Nazi by choice.)
Nope.
What keeps us from killing each other is our basic goodness, even if we treat each other like shit at times.
?????
Kek.
Keep on keeping on, "anon".
Do soldiers sign that blank check with the belief that they'll be coddled?
(Yes, ok. Some do and they're the losers who "patriotically" FB-post non stop on Veterans Day, etc.)
And then there are the war fighters. Different breed.
Yes, there are varied degrees of "goodness", I agree. And yes, there are some that will act on their rage and contempt.
Regarding opportunism: Access to resources is the motivating factor for most international acts of aggression - right? I do wonder if enhancing autonomy (and reducing colonialism) would lead to less opportunistic violence, aggression, etc.
OF COURSE "sometimes ppl are just pigs because they can get away with it". I agree.
And yes, nations should look out for themselves.
And yes, we should "get out of the colonialism game".
The only thing I disagree with is "They only act bad because we don't let them have enough resources." That isn't what I said or meant to imply. I was trying to suggest that nations should be able to act autonomously, without overwhelming outside influence. My hypothesis is that if this is allowed to happen, we may see a more peaceful planet. Sorry if that wasn't very clear.
