Please define cowardice. For instance, are these men cowards?

Perhaps you lack imagination.
Oh, that’s the only reason you can think of, huh? You must be a real tough guy.
Many people cannot, correct. And that does not reflect poorly upon them simply because you can’t understand it. That’s why boot camp weeds out so many people who volunteered but still can’t hack it. Many people don’t even realize they don’t have what it takes. And you think it’s a bad thing for wiser people to recognize it in themselves?
There are plenty of reasons that make a person unsuited for combat besides fear. The unwillingness to kill another person is a big one. The awareness that you simply don’t have that kind of thing in you. Seriously, there’s no call for you to smear them like that.
But oh how they want to, and they’ll vote for the guy they think will make it so they can say it and have everybody think they’re cool again.
Sorry your experience was so rough. Slight pinch for me too. Worthy of a displeased grunt, but that was it.
If you’re nervous, they can knock you out for the procedure. You can’t drive yourself though. And not just any driver will do. They need to be responsible for you. So no taxis. I had nobody to help me out, so I went for local anesthesia.
I cracked jokes, which they said was a common coping mechanism for nervous guys. The nurses laughed, but the doc kept a straight face and steady hand. A couple tiny needle pokes were unpleasant, as was the tugging on the vas deferens, but neither particularly painful. Afterward I drove myself home to play video games and get high for a weekend. A bit of soreness for a couple days, but nothing compared to what she would have endured. I went back to work before recommended, and also masturbated too soon, but suffered no ill effects.
7 years now, zero regrets.
I’d get a second vasectomy if I thought it would help. The first one was super easy.
Fine. Pump it directly into their homes.
Fortunately, intelligence appears to have a wide range of genetic factors. Stupid parents can have quite intelligent children.
The only angle I think looks cool is the one on the pic.
I travel. My Internet is off until I activate my hotspot. Whatever MS is doing, it ain’t worth it to me. I went all in on Linux (I use PopOS btw) a couple years ago.
Gender dysphoria simply IS. Nobody can induce it. What you’re against is letting children figure out the depression, anxiety, and other feelings they’re experiencing.
An obviously totally unqualified one. And irrelevant, as it’s none of your business what other people do with their bodies.
Nope. Just need to force all landlords to sell. Make tax on rent ruinous. Tax additional homes. Make it illegal for corporations to own residential property.
Hell, the church cultivates pedophilia by fetishizing virginity from an early age. You don’t push purity culture without fucking up people mentally.
“Hello national security agency? Yes, I have Russian agents attempting to blackmail and bribe me to send them classified and other material. I don’t want to spy for them. Can we do some double agent stuff instead?”
Sounds like lack of oversight is being used as an excuse to withdraw future funding.
Well it seems like you think you know these people you claim you don’t know. For instance, you keep accusing them of being fearful, and that being the only reason you can think of why people would not be willing to go to war.
Can you think of no other reason why people would be unsuited for the military and combat? Because I assure you, boot camp weeds out people who volunteer, and that the military finds unsuitable. Do you think cowardice is the only thing they look for?
