@ChiseledDiamond travelling was generally way better tbh, way more lax- heard a story about a couple of friends who sailed off Florida to Bahamas in a rented sailboat, you'd get arrested for that now

@LeyvaGCL That's honestly probably why. He's always had a big ego— people who have met him personally before 2016 say he'd always offer to take a picture with them, like he'd already assumed what an honor it would be to be in the same picture as him...

@moemkane41 Sure, but Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden beg to differ... they'll let you get away with smaller things because (even with the bad press) it suits their reputation as the "freest country on Earth", but cross a line and even the U.S. will do the same as an authoritarian regime.

@paulghignon4092 Give it time. Those were Republican cities well into the 70s, the damage of redlining hasn't been undone yet (ironically, because of more conservative, richer residents blocking new development like shown in the video).

@warwickthekingmaker7281 Seem happier? Have you forgotten why the West once despised them (and still mostly does)? Because you can't make a marriage work that's not founded on mutual love. If you're just marrying for status and to appease your family, you'd hate it. The whole relationship becomes a constant reminder of your subservient role in your family and society. Put yourself into that situation: arranged marriages will be, whether you like it or not, about power. Say your family is just average, and you can't afford a wife with either good looks or personality. Would that be fair to you?

With all due respect, the Golden Age of Islam did not see a decline in scientific advancement, any more than the Dark Ages did several hundred years earlier. These are both modern-day myths started in the 19th century, borne out of a societal sense of superiority to 'backwards people.' Just as the 'Dark Ages' saw a boom in political and architectural experimentation, so did the Islamic Golden Age see a boom in historical documentation and preservation (of Ancient Greek and Persian texts) and huge advancements in mathematics (I remind you of Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi, the inventor of algebra, and Ibn Al-Jayyani, who was one of the inventors of the sine function. It may not fit your worldview, but Islam, as any other religion, is fairly neutral in that it is always subject to interpretation by humans. The extremes of interpretation are, of course, bound by the literal words in the holy book, Islam being the most violent in its call to action, but that doesn't mean its political success bore no fruits later on. Islam has helped the world, and I think you need yo accept that.

@BigNorm69 Maybe to absolve themselves of past contributions to the same issues they're "discovering" now

@specimenlarry6068 Well it's kind of hard to separate Republican pokicy from sheer luck .. remember that 40s-70s also happened to be the postwar boom. There will probably never be a time like that (US intact, rest of the world bonbed and needs US goods) in history. Not to mention, lots of problems for cities (and rural areas, US in general) were caused by Republicans. It was Nixon after all who sold out jobs to China, and Reagan who kept it going. (Clinton is also to blame too though) They didnt create a boom, they were at the end of it :(

@NICOLAS Z DUTRA :( Not even we were safe. America sent troops to help the White Army during our Civil War. I wonder how they would have felt about Tsarist Russia funding the Confederacy...
