@lucaclemente10 smart guy. If you wanna make an omelet you have to break some eggs. Ethiopia just happens to be the egg in this instance.

@ksgraham3477 uh Ethiopia isnt even close to being a neighbor. I live in America its on the complete opposite side of the world.

We all want those rare earth elements that are located there.

@ricochet2977 Im not just speaking financially, but the amount of debt is a bit of a distraction. It doesnt matter how much in debt America is. We have a military that is strategically placed all over the world to ensure you accept our dollars or else we hurt you.

Americans, who watch the news, are WILDLY misled about everything.

@muddywaters1472 nope I cant cook for shit. I do on the other hand like getting my electronics cheap as possible, therefore Africa has to be looted. The materials need to come from somewhere and as as we established earlier as long as its NIMBY im cool with it.

@Victor Nieves yes that is exactly 100% what I am saying. As long as Im getting a cut of the plunder, I am totally ok with it. Let me ask you this, what do you think NOT being ok with it is going to accomplish? I get it in an ideal world we wouldnt have victims buts thats a childs view of the world.

@erikschwartz1214 "...paying good wages and running ethical mining operations" See right here we already have what is known in debate culture as weasel words. Those words are "good" and "ethical" before very serious subjects. If you ask 10 ppl to tell what their idea of a "good wage" is, youll get 10 different answers. Same story for ethical mining. "those minerals belong to the countries they reside in." Yeah and we stole them, what are you or anyone else going to do about it? Dog eat dog, yeah its not pretty. However its reality, I dont make the rules, I figure out the rules and exploit them to my advantage. You know like every other successful person in history. :) "Are you comfortable using technology made with slave labor?" Yes as long as it not in any way directly affecting me or my family. I think its hilarious to even ask this question, I mean again in an ideal world sure itd be nice to eradicate slavery and poverty and all kinds of bad things, but its just inane tbh. Its like this is such shallow discussion, no one likes slavery its just the way the world operates. Who cares if anyone is comfortable with something? Your comfort level is all on you my friend, thats an internal discussion you need to have with yourself. Try meditating itll change your life, im serious.

@Victor Nieves like thats anything new, Im 45 and I cant think of a time when foreign forces werent ripping off Americans, its a rich ass country. Again even if I were uncomfortable theres not one thing i can do about it except to make sure me and my family are doing ok.

@neongenesisevangelion587 "your entitled mentality is the exact origin point for the European style imperialism of the 1600s to the 1900s" You mean the mentality that modernized and civilized the world? You're welcome is my reply to that. Dont like what we do, tough you cant stop us, so get used to it. " because you perceive your society as “superior” The fact they cant stop us from doing it PROVES we are superior. Thats the most easily provable point here. " you’re willing to justify any actions, propaganda, subterfuge, and state executed violence just to get access to another people’s resources" Yes, its called the dark side of running an empire.

@erikschwartz1214 nah i took like 3 of those online tests to see if I was a sociopath and its said i wasnt even close to one. You are literally wishing harm on me and Im the bad guy... you cant make this stuff up. lol :)

@vladthedragon8250 funny you say that, people thought my parents were weird because they refused to let me watch anything disney. I guess im an outside cat that knows when to use his claws. :)

@MsAppassionata "I’m curious to know why you felt it necessary to take 3 online tests to determine whether or not you are a sociopath to begin with?" I really have an interest in psychology and they have several tests on a website called PsychCentral you can take, sociopathy is just one The guy called me a sociopath so Im responding to that. "I think that probably says more about you than anything else you said" It says that I actually care about whats going on in my own head. Im dying to see how you can spin that into a bad thing. "I, personally, have never felt the need to take such a test , and I would imagine that neither have most people." Good thing Im not trying to be like most people. Frankly Im trying to be the complete opposite of most people. Let me guess you got the jab?

@ksgraham3477 no not if its my property and country. As long as its not near me Im fine with it. Not in my backyard essentially. Again we need those elements and they arent using them so where else do you propose we go for those materials?

@ricochet2977 all valid points but completely off topic from what I was commenting about. USA certainly has its problems but compared to other big countries like Russia and especially China our problems are tiny. Im wondering why you would bring this up though. Im going to guess that something I said hurt your feelings, so you want to hurt mine. I dont take this stuff personally though, but nice try. :)

@kctaz6189 The only way you know for sure anyone is telling the truth is by seeing it for yourself. Everyone has an agenda, you can only that agenda is to tell the truth. This is why news stories like this can never be taken for granted as truthful. You have to go see it for with your own eyes.
