I thought it was called a job requirement.

So no source? Not even a link? Just mindlessly spouting off?

Got it, I guess I wasted my time responding in the first place.

It's always the shadiest, most conspiratorial people that refuse to provide sources and say "jUsT gOoGLe iT".

Provide sources or you simply will not be taken seriously, and overall look like an embarrassment.

Not the OC but the problem I have is in just one private citizen's ability to influence so much military power. While historically this isn't new and in this case it does overall good, I think that this kind of thing is a slippery slope that eventually could lead to billionaires funding wars to manipulate market elements for profit.

Aren't we all just scientists in this big experiment called life?

I hate that when she's in the news I get excited because I think it's about magic: the gathering...

It would be sweet if we could create some trade/ military alliance similar to the EU between the ol' Commonwealth gang.

I wish that was true.

As a Canadian, the US can have my eggs on the condition of the delivery method being lobbing them over the border at official government buildings.

While you're not wrong, this is exactly how nothing ever gets done. The whataboutism of pointing to another problem whenever any issue comes up is a surefire way to ensure that both problems never get dealt with. It's not only destructive because of this though, the other issue is that the person that started derailing the positive momentum obtains a false sense of accomplishment, and they harm the cause that they were originally fighting for. So while your cause is valid, you're coming about it in the most destructive way that won't help anyone. If you truly care about indigenous rights, you should take a solutions-oriented approach instead of one of negativity and vitriol.
