I will quote myself from another thread: > [@to the funboi in the silver evo friday night....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-the-funboi-in-the-silver-evo-friday-night/44692/2): > > The way I see it is running a country isn’t much different, fundamentally, than running a household, just bloated a million fold. If you dont have the money, you dont spend it on frivolous things. Please see NYS paying for heli rides for Cuomo to go home. If you dont have any more rooms and beds, dont have any more kids. If you dont NEED something, dont get it. And best point of all, if you want something you dont have, DONT STEAL IT, WORK HARDER TO ACHIEVE IT. If you hate your neighbor, and dont get along with each other… forget even making the parallel of going to war and shooting them like the US VS Taliban… WOULD YOU BUY THEM A NEW CAR? A NEW HOUSE OR ADDITION? MAYBE A NEW GRILL AND SOME FILET-MIGNON FOR DINNER??? FUCK NO! You wont invest in making there quality of living better! You fucking ignore them, when they piss you off or start shit you fight back and kick their ass, then ignore them again. jesus fucking christ… is this a hard concept? apparently so. Ohh you bomb and kill thousands of out people, we will get you :shakingfist then kill a bunch of them and for the remaining few we buy them cool shit! way to fucking go. ---

Don’t forget we trained most of these Taliban fighters when they were at war with Russia long ago as well… I don’t get why we would want to spark the economy there to be better… That place has ALWAYS been a shithole, and with it’s location, that’s all it is destined to be. ---

Couldn’t agree more sadly they really do behave like a bunch of animals and will continue to kill eachother long after we live. Might as well pull out and let them get back to it. ---
