    Danilo_G replied to What countries besides Cuba, Russia, Dubai and Iran are not safe to travel to for Americans?:
    I reckon it mostly depends on the American. It's ingenuous to think that Moscow would be more dangerous than Paris. But how properly American it is to think of Dubai as a country ;)

Once I actually get in bed, I've already put most of that aside. I'm also not sure if making our minds go blank is possible for anyone but very experienced meditators (who surely have no trouble sleeping). Forcing our brains to relax: it's a contradiction, isn't it? Hence what I wrote at the end - not to worry about it.  Likewise, I'd agree with the common advice that it can be better to get out of bed for a while. The same goes for life in general: how often does something good come from banging one's head against a wall? Happy Saturday, Rosie!  less

    Reading helps me. I'll often end up hitting the book with my forehead before theoretical bedtime. Other than that, I like to pick through my thoughts prior to lying down. And I'm certain that it's not a big deal if I don't fall asleep immediately: it's still rest.

    Danilo_G replied to Harry S. Truman had 4 options. He chose the one that would end the war. Pragmatic tragic but it worked. Do you fault him?:
    If we wish to talk about the hypothetical amount of (soldiers') lives spared, I don't think we should de-emphasise that the U.S. chose to kill some 200,000 civilians. So, no, I can't be in favour of that decision.

Even in that case, some people are quick to say the victim should have just listened more closely. That only ignores a dozen more factors. (Worse still is when they start pulling up certain photos from the victim's social media, or make other speculations to help illustrate it's not such a great loss.) The shooting of Daniel Shaver is another clear instance of a suspect being intimidated into making a mistake, by a needlessly and disproportionately aggressive officer (who already had a history of excessive force). This is to say that "they didn't comply" is often a non-argument - and that even if you take racism (and all its history and all the biases) out of the equation, these officers go horrendously untrained and unchecked. (And, in this case too, unpunished.) Coincidentally, a great number of these shootings remind me of Native Americans' displacement (that's the nicest word I can use) at the hands of the U.S. government: provoke t...    less

I was looking at the eight options given, each concerning one of these issues: famine, health, education, human rights, access to clean water, and conservation of nature. Speaking for myself, I view these matters as intimately connected, without exception existing--persisting--due to lack of respect and of equality (both of which I would again argue to come down to the same: lack of culture).I am convinced that such an outlook is more helpful: by delineating the issue it does so for the solution as well, it restricts to a bare minimum the chaos of trying to control many factors, and hopefully resists tracking symptom rather than cause. But it is about this that I wish to ask: why might one not agree?  less
