Not just Rome, but Egypt, and every other nation, or whatever they were back then.

Not going to dispute this other than to say that it's "the gravest crime against humanity in MODERN TIMES."

In past times, enslaving the populations of entire conquered nations or villages was common. Bringing slaves back to Rome was a regular part of an Army's return. Enslaving one's neighbors has been extremely common across the globe, since the beginning of humanity.

Beyond slavery, there have been marauders like the Huns or the Khans, who would attack a city, and kill every single living thing, and then move on the the next one.

Unfortunately, there are lots of candidates for the award.

There were over 40,000 Concentration Camps in Nazi-controlled territory. Are you actually claiming that some unknown entity built, filled, and operated over 40,000 Concentration Camps without the other extremely control-oriented Nazis being aware of it? And you can't identify this Unknown Entity?

Just the application of the most basic Critical Thinking Skills will shoot down this ridiculous assertion.

They gave him a big gift, and that's how he knows he's dealing with the right people.

They might not be able to deliver on any of their agreements, but they promised him something shiny, so he's in.

They are going to fleece him for a zillion bucks.

For a lot of these guys, it seems being gay is more about the stereotypical gay behavior. Discrete sex with other men is fine, but acting stereotypical is Gay.

Just a little male bonding, it's not gay.

AND makes life far worse for literally the entire planet.

Imagine unilaterally deciding that increasing your already obscene fortune is more important than every living creature that will ever exist in the future having a sky to enjoy, ever again. To these people, human joy is not something worth preserving.

I loved it when Trump said that they gave him a big gift, and that's how he knows he's dealing with the right people.

They might not be able to deliver on any of their agreements, but they promised him something shiny, so he's in.

I was a space kid, followed every space shot since 1965, was a super fan of Apollo 11, I had a subscription to Nat Geo growing up, just for the Space photos.

So I can't believe I'm saying this: Maybe we've gone far enough for now, and we should have a moratorium on space for the next 50 years.

We should concentrate on Earth for awhile, dontcha think?
