| What I mean is, is a henchman more responsible for doing terrible things than their master. I have read plenty of books and other sources of information on dictators and the henchmen in the secret police who enforce the rules and do their dirty work for them. I remember watching a video about the Ni... |

| I know I've written a number of threads in which I've expressed my worries about having kids or not having kids but I'll use this as an example. It just feels like I'm in two mindsets, one says I ''should'' have kids because I ''have'' to in order to catch up and fit with other people the same age a... |

| Something. Had no room for the g in the box. I remember telling my counsellor about the fact that maybe it's the distance to places that I don't end up going or bothering to go even with a car. I remember her telling me if I'd get into volunteering again which don't really that keen on as I did volu... |

| I do sometimes wish people on some of these news channels stop a lot of fear mongering and stuff as though we are close to another world war which I bet no one wants because of the recent hijackings of shops by the houthis in the gulf. Surely the last world war reminded us to never let it happen aga... |

I just seem to feel it makes people's FOMO (fear of missing out) wor... |

I know that age is just a number at the end of the day but I don't know what it is but I seem to feel like I don't always like the grouping of people based on their age, I seem to feel as though it excludes people especi... |

Those things included clubbing, going... |

I seem to think we saw this in the 90s with the Serbs oppressing the Croats and Bosnians, who had terrorised and oppressed the serbs in World War 2 and I fee... |

I remember someone on the GB news channel expressing concerns over things like decli... |

| I find it irritating that countries seem to be prepared to recognise the sufferings and wrong-doings of other countries and not for their own and deny that it ever took place or say that they ''didn't commit any war crimes or genocide'' but say that another country was.
