Just a thought but I think some discomfort comes from people who feel like they don’t deserve the thanks, because they compare themselves to war heroes. But really the thanks is about what you may have to do, not what you have done so far. Like thanks for stepping up I guess.
It was here that scientists discovered what acid rain and phosphates did to fresh-water lakes (specifically the Great Lakes), which led to increased regulation on smoke stack emissions and a ban on phosphates in laundry detergent.
Canada’s former PM Stephen Harper, a notorious anti-science right-wing leader, sought to shut this place down … but thankfully it survived his stupidity.
law enforcement is stupid to run away from. They have far more resources and can look for you 7X24. I at least give him credit for being smart enough to surrender
You misunderstand. I rarely thank someone for doing their chosen job, maybe a social worker or medical professional but still rarely.
My comment was in surprise because I thought this had turned into a meme and/or joke — it has in my social circles. The only time I hear anyone use this line is when we’re doing it to annoy our friends who were in the military as a vector of jovial ribbing and shared mockery.
Perhaps I have just aged to the point where I've passed the irony and ribbing and I sincerely mean that I am thankful for someone's service. (This all being said, I've maybe said that to someone once or twice in my life.)
At some point, I can't control how other people take it, but my meaning is clear to me, at least.
Morning Rundown: Gaza City hospitals raise alarm as IDF nears, FBl director criticizes selection of new HQ, and how breast implants were used in lifesaving Surgery
If you’re going to kill someone who killed someone, to show that killing is wrong, the punishment should fit the crime.
Lethal injection, are you fucking kidding me? I know druggies that pay money for that, SMH.
If you’re going to execute someone, the gas chamber should be the only option. Let them feel the amount of anxiety their victims felt when they realized they were going to die a horrible death.
You’re right, but for the wrong reasons. Lethal injection has been criticized for many things, including not being particularly effective, easily botchable, and difficulty in sourcing the materials.
Asphyxiation through nitrogen, though, is very effective, hard to mess up, and easily available.
Personally, if I had to choose my method, I’d want a firing squad. A half dozen bullets to the brain seems quick and decisive.
If I could choose any way to be executed, it would be to be at the epicenter of a nuclear bomb with enough force to instantly obliterate me. In a moment I exist, and in the other I don't.
Why would you want to kill someone anyway. Youre not doing any good for society. If you really need an explanation for why killing people is wrong something isnt right on your side. The only people that should be killed are those who would pose a liability to society by simply existing(ex.: Ceausescu, Hitler, etc(usually dictators))
How is revenge productive to society? Sure, I have been through shit and I have wished that I would be able to cause physical harm and suffering onto those perpetrators, but I don’t think that is actually what should be done to people. We can’t build a better society by just getting revenge and escalating things. That’s how we all start living in fear.
Meanwhile, the government pays farmers where it rains and hay grows well to leave fields barren. It gives farmers welfare payments and increases grain prices.
