Would you guys recommend Starship Troopers? I've really liked the Foundation series. And I've been thinking about something similar, voting rights based on having "skin in the game". How that would be defined or determined, I'm not sure.
The devil is always in the details. Only 8.4% for the Danish People's Party.
Starship troopers is painful because it's grim future is so much brighter than our present.
Also well worth the read.
@Jakob-NY , The first time I read it was on my 1st deployment. After I finished it I wondered how we got into this mess, and it was that the decisions were made by people who had no skin In the game . It was written in the 50s if I’m correct, and it’s just as applicable now as it was then.
Corporal punishment for parents of criminals .... 🔥
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check it out @Victor O @Alexander Pechorin
If we started canning offenders,like Singapore, there would be a severe reduction in crime.
Yeah but Starship Troopers goes next level.
Sure does 😁
I wouldn’t mind at all serving in the military were it not Israeli proxy wars or destabilizing countries for profit
Maybe these parents would stop trying to be friends and start being Mom & Dad
The military is super gay
Eisenhower warned the country, no one listened
Starship Troopers military is sweet though
John Birch has been spot on
Lol. Why Bhutan?
I just like the Bhutanese flag.
Bhutan/Wales Dragon alliance when?
Celtic Buddhism is the way forward
Dude I’d love to go to Bhutan
Bhutan’s one of the few countries the US doesn’t have relations with
$200/day visitation fee
On top of everything else.
Happy people, apparently their biggest problem is cigarettes
Listen to their anthem on YouTube
So strange
I dig it, honestly
It’s like the Japanese anthem. Very unmistakably theirs.
If monarchies are so bad why are Singapore and Luxumburg so wealthy?
Singapore also works for the “colonialism is bad” argument
@ophiuchus you will need a Bhutanese passport
Monarchy is for Europe
Not America sorry
I refuse to have a monarch
I think you can visit- you just have to go under a state sponsored tour group and it’s very expensive
Oh no it’s a meme
I got memed on
This is their real English language passport policy, uploaded to Wikipedia by their government
