Two wealthy countries with millions of people, each, living in poverty. MuSt Be GeNeTiC.
At least not everyone is living in poverty.
Fuck Israel
in the space of a human lifetime korea went from centuries of hanging out at the bottom of the global table to being g10. world leaders in high-tech.Dilbert_X wrote:

How can this be explained?
50 years ago most people were living in poverty and working in agriculture or primary production. now their children are electrical engineers.
how do you explain this? did the generations of koreans born after 1960 experience a sudden ‘evolution’?
use your thick fucking head.
How have Africans not done it?
Fuck Israel
africans did have civilisations and evidence of advanced craftwork and building. we have been over this so many times now.
geography accounts for a lot of it. when you live in an area that is inhospitable and requires an immense amount more daily labour to make up your calories, then you have less time to do the high-tier civ stuff.
the idea that africans have different mental hardware from east asians or white people is pseudo-scientific nonsense of the very worst order. next you'll be telling me that their skull shapes are the key to understanding their 'racial intelligence'.

I just went through a "finance training for non-finance people" corporate training session and that's 2 hours I will never get back.
Fuck Israel
He lives
He is risen
I watched a few comedy specials on Netflix. Ricky Gervais, Bill Burr, and some lady that was funny.
Iliza has been around for years. You should check out Taylor Tomlinson.
The Depp Heard verdict came back. No matter how it goes, Depp is a joker in this whole thing. When you are a Boomer, don't date women 22 years younger than you.
Who the fuck cares!? Get a fucking life.
Depp's win is a win for all men who have been abused by women.
Maybe in your cretinuous mind it is. That trial is a loss for anyone and everyone involved, save maybe the people being paid or forced to be there. And that includes whoever wasted their precious time following along.
Get a fucking life!
Get a fucking life!
As a victim of various types of abuses, I am hurt that you don't take this seriously.
Mac who cried wolf.
deplorable that you disregard my experience
How much does Depp have in common with boomers though. Born on the bleeding, trailing edge of the generation and far richer (9 figures!) than most. It's embarrassing that people insist on trying to relate to actors, the ultra wealthy, and their personal lives, anyway.
I've blissfully sailed through this whole sideshow without giving it a fraction of a percent of my attention. Meanwhile you're in the other thread all like "who cares about pollution!" Interesting priorities.
You can quote CO2 per East Asian person but can't hold a casual conversation about ongoing pop culture.
Do you have any idea how encompassing the term "pop culture" is these days? With the internet, everything can be pop culture. There's only so much time and bandwidth to go around. I didn't really care about the case, and much less what the court of public opinion has to say about it. Things like environmental collapse within <1 century, far more heavy.
Do you often have fluff conversations about the impending climate apocalypse? I was chatting with a lady teacher the other day and brought up the trial and she instantly started talking about her thoughts and how she followed the events etc. Do you think it would have been better to talk to her about how we are all going to die from the climate apocalypses?
Yes that's totally it, good take mac. /s
People I talk about celebrity stuff with are more interested in movies than the oscars slap sideshows or whatever. Who has the time to follow all that crap so closely? It might occupy like 3% of a conversation.
You're only aware of the Depp stuff because he's a celebrity. Joe Average would have never made the headlines. "Win for men" lol.
Are you really interested in law, wanting to talk about that stuff?
