And I still don't believe you.

Do you never speed? If you say you don't, I'll call you a liar. People respond to signals. They don't drive, and nor should they, glued to the spedo. Drivers often say they didn't know they were speeding, because they were driving to the road.

The way we design roads, and the psychology of driving means that, yes, even car culture critics will speed on roads designed to go much faster than the posted limit. We're human. That's why the focus is on design and the signals drivers get on the road, even more so than enforcement.

The world is watching. Western hegemony is over.

It looks like maybe the attacks were symbolic and Trump is leaving the Iran/Israel confrontation on the burner.

It looks like it was a symbolic attack with foreknowledge of Iranian authorities who evacuated in advance. So I'm predicting Iran won't retaliate, yet, in terms of the Straits or anything very dramatic, but they will continue sending missiles to Israel. So far, everything is worse.

Now is the time for peace! Surely Iran sees that, too.

When Iran and Arab states had democratic governments, the West overthrew them.

After more than a hundred years of the West bringing civilization and democracy to the Middle-East, name the secular, liberal, democratic Arab allies?
At some point we have to grow up and acknowledge it's all bullshit.

When you say you support killing human beings in support of governments clearly in violation of international law and agreements, but oppose it on your own, when the same rules are applied, you are expressing two laws: one for us and one for "the other". That's inherently racist.

This discussion ended with your white supremacy and racism.
