US military learned during WWII that conscription doesn't yield good troops.
Think about it in today's military. Draftees will do enough to stay out of the stockade. While it's a fictional movie, go watch The Dirty Dozen, which does a great job showing what motivates people in such a circumstance.
Now, draft someone, I don't know, to be an Air Traffic Controller...
The US has no need to be drafting soldiers right now.
I know a number of families with one parent working. They just chose differently. They don't have a massive, expensive house, they don't vacation in Disney, they don't have brand new cars, nor expensive cars, the kids don't have the coolest gadgets, etc, etc.
They just chose differently than other people.
Fuck them for that nonsense.
I've tipped zero at a sit down place because the waiter was an ass. (And I'm a generous tipper, because I've done the job and I can now afford to).
Tipping isn't required.
You can't change the behaviour of other people - get rid that kind of thinking. It's unrealistic, it's insulting, and it's arrogant.
He told you where he stands (he feels unable to maintain relationships right now). It's up to you to believe what he tells you is true.
If someone told you they can't lift 100lbs, would you go through life acting as if they could?
The brain you have that can make up such bullshit is a result of eating animals.
So are you going to kill yourself because your very existence is the result of eons of humans eating animals?
As for fallacies, prove that
animals are morally equivalent to your children
That's a sophist argumentation tactic known as "begging the question".
That you have the hubris to call others fallacious is, well, I'd say shocking, but it's par for the course when someone decides they know better than the rest of us and deign to be condescending (which usually happens after Philosophy 101).
This ad was post-depression, where getting enough to eat while growing up was a huge problem.
Edit: not to say the advertisers weren't playing on insecurities That's SOP for advertising.
I didn't know what that even meant.
Funy, you want to dictate who can respond? Pretty racist if you ask me.
Right? He'd ALWAYS just "been there"... Start watching something new and... Fuck me it's Bob!
Yea, yea.
Then why didn't you announce it with fanfare, instead of saying nothing and enabling it automatically?
What is it the anti-encryption crowd say again? "If you've got nothing to hide..."
Pulled from the grave, just like portable CD players?
(Boo! OK, I'll see myself out. MV is a tragic story)
I don't get it? Penguins are at home there or in the water?
(It is the Far Side, which I have enjoyed for decades now, but must admit I don't always get it).
