    Except none of the people you are talking about were alive and making decisions during WW1. So they are not guilty of what happened in WW1 and the WW1 Turks are not guilty of these alleged attitudes today. They're 2 entirely seperate groups of people.

    There's that cliche again. What's the specific lesson that's so important here? Please inform us exactly what lesson we are supposed to learn from these specific events. And explain the relevance to today and tomorrow.

    It's important, right? Please explain then.

    Not trolling. Telling people to focus on things that matter. Ancient grievances don't matter if they're left in the past. And people who leave them there are better for it.

    The point isn't "don't make a movie". The point is: who cares? People should stop trying to start/continue fights about ancient history.

    Because people spend their days listing off information about every historical event that ever happened to everyone?

    Except it was 100 years ago. The next everything already happened. And the next, and the next, and the next, etc.

    What's the specific lesson then? If it's so important that people who weren't alive in WW1 need to be burdened with it, then surely you can tell us.

    Revealed: Kohath doesn't support digging up 100-year-old grievances to use against people who weren't alive 100 years ago. He apparently thinks people should focus on building a better future instead.

    What about people who only learn and repeat meaningless cliches?

    Because seeking out reasons to hate groups of people is ok? A good use of time? Better than some alternative?

    Digging up historical grievances helps no one.

    This is an uninformed comment. Congressmen in safe districts don't need the Internet to get reelected. People vote based on party.

    So you want to cut salaries for health care workers in the US to the level of those counties? I wonder if those workers will fight that?

    For some thoughts that go beyond idle complaining:

    Read up. Follow the links. Understand you can't just say "but Switzerland...", as if any country can easily make itself into another country.

    What people who talk like that have to offer is literally every goddam health care plan for every goddam developed country except the US.

    You can't make the US into Denmark. Stop pretending you can. Countries are distinct and they remain that way, regardless of idle complaining about it.

  21. They found that colleges and universities prioritize student learning close to the bottom of the list of things they care about.

  22. Too bad schools are also useless beyond learning to read. They could teach some money management or really anything. But it's easier not to, so it doesn't happen.

  23. Why pay more than minimum for imaginary strawmen?

    And for someone who can't do valuable work, what's a better alternative than working hard? If they don't work hard, what's a better descriptive term than "lazy"? Please inform us.

  24. Who "encourages" these hapless Americans? And why do these Americans listen rather than choosing more responsible behaviors?
