Individuals who commit war crimes can and should be held responsible for their actions. "Just following orders" wasn't a valid excuse for the Nazis, and it shouldn't be one for the IDF.

Respect for the admission. I'm somewhat there with you.

Alright tough guy. You first.

How was the research conducted? Their website talks about the sample size, but I didn't see how respondents were selected. They claim it's representative of the national population, but if they're cold-calling random people to ask the questions, I can almost guarantee there are going to be more older people responding because younger people tend not to answer unknown phone calls.

Is it cool to say that? I always thought that was a pejorative term.

One of the worst people I ever had the displeasure of working with was from Texas.

Granted, I have also worked with others from Texas that were fine.

Sure, but a good meme's value can't be measured in currency.

There's an interesting history behind the word colonel. IIRC, the English "coronel" and the French "colonel" used to be used somewhat interchangeably. Eventually, we kept the French spelling but the English pronunciation.

Often enough, their viewpoints have been discredited already. To me, it's rarely worth the effort of disputing bunk information if it's clearly wrong and the person writing it is not engaging in good faith. I know some people enjoy debating, but I prefer to save my sanity most of the time.

Never said it was a bad idea. Just wanted to point out that even without any kind of vehicle-specific training, they do still come with a means for the buyers to educate themselves.

Regardless though, most cars aren't that much different from one another. The skills you learn in driver's education should be sufficient for most to operate the vehicle with minimal time spent familiarizing yourself with any particular vehicle. For whatever reason, Tesla felt the need to forego decades of standardization and do their own thing. You can see how well that's working out with their FSD disasters, people getting trapped inside them, and just the overall shoddy craftsmanship.

Because there's no use engaging with someone who is not willing to consider new information or alternative viewpoints. Those people have an agenda to push and often come off as hostile or rude. Much better to just downvote and move on.
