I remember this was literally the question posed to us by an ethics professor 20 years ago. Now it's a reality.

A person with Down's can live a happy fulfilling life, but most parents would never choose to have a child with Down's if it could be born 'normal' instead. So we're essentially removing them from the gene pool and human race.

It's eugenics for sure. I'm not sure if it's unethical though. It's pretty complex.

Goose stepping is actually incredibly difficult and has no military value

Skill issue. I'm guessing it's genetic too judging from your comments.

On reddit the conservative subs don't allow discussions or debates. On Lemmy the leftist subs don't allow discussions or debates.

The Mercator projection made Greenland look very big on the map.

People tend to equate when a country or empire has the most territory as it being at it's height.

It's a vanity thing. He wants to see the words 'The United States of America was at it's territorial peak under President Donald Trump' echo through history.

He thinks if the US was at it's territorial height under him, that that would be an easy way to become the greatest president of all time. It's vanity.

Lots of great reasons that aren't the actual reason.

Greenland is very big on the map, and if it was apart of the United States then the US would look so big on the map.

Everyone says Trajan was the best roman emperor because the roman empire had the largest amount of territory under him, ergo if Greenland or Canada became part of the US then everyone would say the same thing about Trump.

That is the only reasoning behind this obsession.

I don't think anyone in the region has any solidarity with Iran.

There is no value in defending a billion dollar company from another billion dollar company. Just accept Nintendo is more popular and live your life ❤️

If I did not have the money to pay for the books or they are too hard for me to find then no loss would have occurred because purchasing was never happening.

If I did have the money and the books were eaay to find but still pirated then a loss did occur.

Libraries pay for their books.
