They could be an Aussie or Kiwi. Biscuit for a savory bun is just etymologically inconsistent.

Please, anything but the Italians, I'm begging you. Give it to the Welsh instead, or the Dutch.

Outdoor cats are destructive to the ecosystem, keeping a pet is the exploitation of an animal and is therefore not vegan, and forcing a vegan diet on an obligate carnivore is , depending on how you do it, either pointless or animal abuse.

While I provide no further argument or justification for these points, understand that I am unchallengably correct as I am the one true Marxist.

It's a settler state fighting a coloniser state on the basis that the settler state is the one who really deserves to own a rock far out in the ocean on the basis of a dubious historical claim against the wishes of the people who live there.

There's nothing about climate change that makes it unsolvable by technology. It's more that the economic and political systems we have in place now are not capable of developing and using it in time, because combating climate change through anything but slow incremental improvement is not something that can be privately profitable.

While true, it's taken a tremendous amount of effort, and from what I can find, it still takes more schooling to reach the same relative level of literacy.

The Koreans had it right in switching over.

Nature is just a process of change. There is no improvement or deterioration, and it's not building towards some final goal or state.

Similar insects would quickly fill the niche.

Logographic writing is an elitist construct, and the result of literacy being restricted to only those with relative wealth and connections.

Phonetic writing is a tool of proletarian liberation.

You are effectively murdering at least part of an animal by choosing to eat it. The average meat eater will kill several animals over the course of a year.

Living an unexamined life to prevent guilt about something you know you would feel is wrong so you can keep benefiting from that act being commited in your name is just as bad as doing the act itself but with the added element of cowardice and so is therefore worse.

It's more honest at least.
