@smitty The base 10 numbering system has origins in India rather than Arabs. Arabian peoples adopted and expanded upon it and later so did europeans.

I despise posts like this. They try to perpetrate a single mindset/thought process on people who may have differing opinions on why they don't support single payer systems. Some people don't support the idea of giving the federal government even more say over their private lives. Some people don't believe a raise in taxes are necessary to cover healthcare when they themselves already have coverage. Europeans, except maybe the Finns, just don't understand the great lenghts people go to be individualistic in the states. The entire cultural identity of the United States is based around individualism. Don't @ me with hate. Debate.

I bet if you asked a portion of the arabic speaking population in a predominently arabic speaking region if they wanted to use a hindu numbering system then they'd have the same no answer.

Aborted question 9 comments

"Are you a citizen of the United States?" Which in and of itself isn't a controversial question if only used to index the number of people living in the U.S.. The controversial thing about it is that the current administration will likely use that census data to further I.C.E operations. This would mean that a large number of people who answer no could potentially be deported. Now the otherside of that is that many of these people who aren't here legally wont fill out the census therefore the number of peoples living within states/regions wont be accurately portrayed.

Good book of you wanna understand why and how europe became what it is today. Granted the segments after the 1980's are speculative at best considering the book was published around that time but otherwise it's a good read.

I really don't care that ariel will be black, i wasn't going to watch the movie to begin with, but if Mulan doesn't have Mushu and is purely an action girl power movie imma fucking flip my shit. Girl power all day long but if theres no comedy or music and is 100% serious 100% of the time imma have some real issues.

Iirc the russian soldier wouldn't be fighting "for the people", unless some of the russian civil war is in the game, as the soviet revolution and takeover happened much later in the war and the soviets backing by the peasant population stems from the anti-war rhetoric they propagandised.

Im pretty sure it wasn't just a Roman thing. Animal fights have always been part of the iberian celtic religions. Im all for ending the unnecessary suffering of animals but it goes beyond that of the roman era.

Uh? Wasn't the whole point of civil war that the governments/militaries shouldn't be incharge and aren't inherently good?
Tony stark was good, yes but not always. His redemption is what made him good.
I hope this is satire i really do.

Eh... football refered to both rugby and soccer at one point. The only reason it was called football is because it was played on foot with a ball rather than on horse with a ball

Personally i don't like games like stardew and such just because I like to be competitive. My prominent game for the past 2 years is Rocket League. No shooting just rocket car soccer. God forbid people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
