Noam Chomsky: The United States, Not Iran, Poses Greatest Threat to World Peace
In a speech Saturday at The New School in New York, Noam Chomsky explained why he believes the U.S. poses the greatest threat to world peace. “[The United States] is a rogue state, indifferent to international law and conventions, entitled to resort to violence at will. … Take, for example, the Clinton Doctrine—namely, the United States is free to resort to unilateral use of military power, even for such purposes as to ensure uninhibited access to key markets, energy supplies and strategic resources—let alone security or alleged humanitarian concerns. And adherence to this doctrine is very well confirmed and practiced, as need hardly be discussed among people willing to look at the facts of current history.” Chomsky also explained why he believes the U.S. and its closest allies, namely Saudi Arabia and Israel, are undermining prospects for peace in the Middle East. “When we say the international community opposes Iran’s policies or the international community does some other thing, that means the United States and anybody else who happens to be going along with it.”

Your environment must be extremely small in scope then Boat. You are incapable of seeing anything beyond your tiny little bubble.

Roman, try not to be so hard on your parents – tards need loving too. Stepping back and taking a big picture view reveals that we are no more capable of stopping making babies than we are degrading energy. They are indeed linked. Our biological programming, the same as every other living thing in the last 3 billion years. The limbic system drives the bus.
Neuroscience, free will and determinism: ‘I’m just a machine’
Our bodies can be controlled by outside forces in the universe, discovers Tom Chivers. So where does that leave free will?
