    I don't think they are comparisons. He is giving examples in history to better understand why violence begets violence and that there is a starting/root cause of it.

    As with those examples, it is not widely accepted to point these out for Palestinians. It is overlooked and focus stays on the act and not why it happened thus continuing the cycle of violence.

    The same can be said about 9/11 as well. It is a horrible terrorist act which to this day the average person is clueless to why it was carried out. The message is the same, they are animals who are jealous of our freedoms and "democracy". Let's return the violence 100 times over, but that isn't terrorism, it's a war against terror/fight for freedom. Which then also creates more instability/insurgents (ISIS)

    Almost never replay after a completion. The games I really enjoyed that I started again later cause nothing else was available was RDR2, watchdogs 2, GTA5, portal2., but never got past couple hours.

    It was so long since I played the mass effects and I forgot so much of it that I did replay and finish 1-3 again. It was like playing them for the first time which I wish can happen more often.

    I'm into DIY. Anything from small components to auto/home repair and improvement. I really like watching GPU and electronic repair as I am a proponent of sustainability and reversing earth's trashing. Lurked reddit to find answers to very specific repair issues.

    Also enjoy gaming and trying to find a way out of the rat race.

    1 wife 1 child.

    Great to meet you all

    Very interesting topic. Ultimately the definition for slave must include a human person. But, I could see a moral, ethical, and even societal health and safety issue on how we breed, treat and raise animals.

    In my opinion breeding an animal for the sole purpose of confined companionship is immoral and physically unhealthy for both parties. There may be certain degree of emotional/mental benefit for the human but I can't see it overcoming the other negatives. Now, an animal with a purpose or job with professional training, guard dog, guide dog, grief animal for patients etc I'm good with.

    I am also very against mass produced livestock that are subject to the horrible conditions they are under and try my best to avoid them. There are more ethical treatments of food sources that were originally rooted in religious standards- halal/Kosher.

    Things like, slaughtering animals in a private/sanitary area, not torturing or abusing them in anyway, keeping them well feed/watered with room to move around. Some texts stating any unjust harm done to an animal will be punished the same as if it were done to a human.

    This all adds to the health and cleanliness of the animal, which the animals obviously prefer. In turn more nutritious healthy food for humans.
    I won't go into how industry and marketing increased our reliance on meat and all that, but animals should be allowed to be animals and humans CAN find uses for everything on earth without exploiting and abusing.
