Yes, the British, who took over the country and subjected it to a hundred plus years of brutal violence and oppression are altruistic. And the wars didn't start until after the assassination of Ghandi.

>>693605356
Yeah, Dr. King and Ghandi sure accomplished their goals. American race relations have plummeted since the civil rights movement and the India of Ghandi's life doesn't even exist anymore. Violence won.

"I do believe that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence."
-Gandhi, Doctrine of the Sword

The owners of the building already know. I really want it back now though. Maybe I should try sucking the tap really hard.

>>693607976
For what reason?

>>693608135
It's hypothetical and totally possible since you never know how you're going to act in a situation like that. What happens after? A life of remorse? Suicide?

So you won't defend yourself from a killer but you'll beat an innocent person you don't know because his posting triggered you? Or was that just an attempt at humour?

Just think of all the urea, saliva, skin cells, and other nasty bits floating around in the water. I know it's obviously safe, but still. Nasty.

Then hypothetically speaking Jesus would show up and shower peace upon everyone and the scuffle would stop.

It's called hyperbole, not meant to be taken literally. If I saw him in real life and knew unequivocally that it was him I would just leave.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_(therapy_cat)

He walks around the nursing home, unfriendly to everyone. But then will randomly curl up and sleep next to someone. That person dies shortly afterwards.

As of 2015, apparently his record was up to 100 predicted deaths.

I'd rather it end with a lot of murder, pillaging and rape

That sounds like a heckin good time

It would be better if someone far gayer than I attempted it for me.

>>693608830
So you're not going to answer the question.

It's hard to tell what is meant to be regarded as hyperbole in this place. That is why I asked if it was just a joke.

No, because it's a stupid question to ask.

I think it's pretty easy to tell what is hyperbole.

You're very confident in your assessments, considering how far your head is up your own arse.

4% by volume Aka 3.2% on draft
Bottled has changed. Anything above that rule must be bought at a liquor store. Bars can surve some high points. Squatters is local and their double IPA Hop Raising is 9%
They also own most stocks in Coke~Cola, Alcohol, Tobacco

They can't have all 3. Mormon code

Also can't call cops on em if a member rapes a child. Not kidding, child rape is high here. I've even been a victim to some of the issues here.

That's fine that you think that. I don't seek your approval, I don't care if you like me or not. I have my convictions and I'm not going to bend or compromise any of the for anything or anyone. What you call having my head up my ass is tantamount to stating outright, "I disagree with you so you must be full of shit." Welcome to the real world where people don't have to kowtow to your precious feelings or get along with each other.

>>693611468
very true

>>693610034
Site the legal code that states that a person cannot call the police on child rapists in Utah.

so many fucking intermissions just let me go to sleep stop choking astralis
