...but only one person gets to talk about ea nasir's yelp ratings.

They can be cool, inspiring events, or funny/dumb ones idc. I'm just looking for stories that make you go "I could see that happening in Jersey" or "My cousin caught a charge for that just last week!"

War .... any kind of war for any reason.

The idea that the only way to for us to settle disputes or disagreements with others is to organize ourselves into competing camps, make fancy plans and use all our technical knowledge and technology to kill one another.

Our ancient prehistorical ancestors had the same logic thousands of years ago and used sticks, spears, rocks and their bare hands.

Today, we use drones, machine guns, army tanks, naval ships and nuclear weapons.

The technology has changed ... but our mentality is still the same.
