Ah, so criticizing the practice and faulty logic instead of the conclusion? That's a rare breed of critical thinking you are practicing, Ken.
I will be honest, I am honestly discussing with myself the idea of moral "imperialism", that I cooked up quite some time ago. If moral claims are normative claims that are to be applied universally, (Think Kant's Categorical Imperative), then would it not be fully consistent to apply our morality on others, and thus hold them accountable to our ethics instead of our own?
At least, I think that's what I was originally asking myself, but it is 1 AM and I just got home. =_=
There should also be a line drawn for multiple sides on what is considered moral or immoral, what is justified and injustice. The issue is being able to come to a consensus on what that line is.
silly girl, you're not allowed politics
edit: nvm i fully support the pro democracy anti china blizzard bad propaganda, dont mind me
also keep politics out of my games in any other situation because freedum only applies to things i support
Clear as distilled mud.
Basically, it is inception. The Communist Party of China has an army, and that army has an air force and a navy.
...*Inception
To be fair, it's better to pander to China on political unrest, than to face threats of another war for disrespecting their honor.
Oh, forgot to share this from Fox News:
Notice how when the US and China said they were going to announce a phase 1 trade deal last week, immediately major news networks cut down the time they talk about the HK issue, instead let's talk about the Turkish invasion of Northern Syria.

Video link from the recap.
Facebook also took the L in July.
FTC is researching E-cigarettes, time to be concerned for your health and about what those oils really are.
They're obviously chemicals + nicotine.
They always claim to be nicotine free, but yeah... likely dangerous byproducts. (As proven by hospitalization cases.)
Before it was tobacco + nicotine, now it's who knows what's in it + nicotine.
I dont recall a single outlet claiming that atleast the reputable ones, but from what i do know is that a lot of these hospital cases are rather more unique to the US when it comes to Vaping.
Fact 1, the US doesn't regulate e-cigarettes as Harshly as a country like the UK does, and theres a gray market for e-cigs that contain other chemicals that reputable places dont put in.
Fact 2, just about every single case of hospitalized individuals tends to say that they got theirs from a non-reputable place
Fact 3 UK doctors do say that e-cigarettes are not as harmful as traditional cigarettes and there isn't a lung disease phenomenon going in there as well.
all of this leaves a gap that goes to the gray market with vaping juice, Now i don't vape myself, i never will, it's still not healthy for you even if it's allegedly more safe than cigarettes, but i don't think licensed and reputable places are the ones responsible for the phenomenon, theres plenty of reason for that and maybe we should focus are targets with the gray market.
also nicotine isn't a harmful thing by itself either, nor was it found to be addictive in most cases (also lab rats show this), but the things you could get it from are, and unfortunately we dont have the tech that properly separates nicotine from things that do that (as well as controversy and regulations that prevent or hold back research for it), and its even found to have health benefits, however i do not recommend any non consumer of tobacco/nicotine products to start doing it just for those benefits, i don't think they're worth it in the long run.
About time....
Why it gotta be Nicotine? Why not just Nico?
Would never stop smoking if it meant smoking Nico Yazawa.
I bump has appeared on this thread. Time to apply skincare products.
