No stupid questions, but certainly stupid answers.

The USA is not a part of the international criminal court. So even if the ICC said the US committed war crimes, they have no way to enfore those laws in the USA.

ICC is for states that can't prosecute within their country. USA can do that. So it goes like this:

ICC: Hey, USA, you committed war crimes

USA: We dont recognize your court of law, and we did our own investigation where we found no wrongdoing.

ICC: We disagree

USA: Okay, that's nice. If you arrest Bush we will invade the Hague

Stalemate.

So they're going to vote for Trump? Trump is a very strong ally to Israel. Trump certified their land grab of the golan heights. Best guess is he would certify the land grab of all of gaza

Its still early. This is the first time there has been a legitimate alternative to reddit and thats honestly only because 3rd party apps like sync have made it usable.

Reddit started when Digg changed its site and everyone went to reddit. There has also been multiple attempts to leave reddit, but no similar alternatives. Now there is a good alternative and there will be more things reddit does that will make people look for alternatives.

I mean how bout a source buddy?

Heres what they say on their website. "As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts."

Perhaps we interpret that differently, or I could have described it better.

You just come in here, take one sentence, call it false, and leave? Come on mannnnn.

People need to relate. It's easier for the West to relate to a british person than a Palestinian person. It's hard to relate to just Palestinian because a significant amount is a part of Hamas, and Hamas wants me dead because I am not Muslim. Hamas was democratically elected. That means a majority of Palestinians think their way is the right way. That little british-palestinian didn't vote for Hamas. I can relate to her. It's hard to relate to people that democratically elected a group that wants to kill me.

Except for the lazy ones.

Thats like saying kevin is 300 lbs because he is efficient, not lazy.

I mean Im not conservative, but I hope you see the irony in the complete lack of empathy in your message

Source?

Yeah, good luck getting a court to convict that. There are multiple lawsuits. None of them are considering anything with the death penalty, nor should it. There is no legal precedence for it.

Convicting Trump of the death penalty is more likely to result in a 2nd civil war than it is to make people fall in line. We tried bombing the taliban into falling in line for 20 years. How'd that go?

Do you really think that's how it'd go down? You might want to rethink that one.

Isn't this the plot to elysium?

In all seriousness, its not impossible to go from the bottom to the top, but its definitely improbable. Anyone can do middle class. Just do middle class.

If you really want to go wild, sacrifice your pleasantries in order to save a bit and give it to your child a chance. Ill give you an example.

Jeff Bezos mother Jackie and father Tim when were 16 and 18 respectively when she was pregnant with Jeff. Jeffs first dad was a drunk asshole and they got divored. She met a Cuban Refugee named Miguel Bezos, who adopted Jeff. Jeff went and got himself into Princeton, where he graduated and started working for a financial tech company.

Now Miguel got his degree and was working for exxon. Thats how he was able to save up the $254k that he and Jackie loaned to Jeff. With that, he made an online bookstore called amazon.com. From there Jeff became the multi billionaire he is now. Oh, Jackie and Miguel got 6% each so they're billionaires too.

Now that's the American Dream. Even so, I think the question is, how rich is too rich?

Make it with nuclear power. Turn water to hydrogen and oxygen. Release the oxygen. Package the hydrogen. Burn the hydrogen and it mixes with the oxygen. Maybe eject the spent radioactive fuel into space some day?

VR still sucks, but didnt boats make people want to throw up. Then trains, then cars. They still do sometimes, but it'll be worth it

Oh, so you're not just in a bad mood or something, you're just stupid.

I mean, they send military aid to Israel because their neighbor wants to wipe out all jews and they send economic aid to palestine because not all of them want to kill all jews. So im not really sure who you are talking about.

The US is absolutely not sitting this one out. We are supporting our ally Israel. Just as Iran is supporting their ally Hamas.

Stop pretending this is so black and white.
