Take my upvote, a rare one on the worldnews group.

After reading past your first paragraph, I'm not sure I want it from you.

Hamas is a reaction to the mess, not its "designer."

That would be cool, but who would administer this site, the UN? And I imagine there would be attacks on the site from both (if not three, if you include crazy Evangelicals) sides trying to reclaim it.

As long as these Abrahamic religions are around, people will be fighting over that land so it seems. Truly a benevolent and merciful god.

I think you have it backwards. Bibi is the reason Hamas is in power.

Maybe there's some truth to it the way you said it, but this is literally objective reality. He directly supported Hamas.

Yeah, I'm not going to disagree with the condemnation of the terrorist attack. That said, Israel has been, objectively, committing war crimes for decades now unpunished.

Two wrongs don't make a right, not justifying just explaining, and all that.

The number of future terrorists will only increase in numbers because people will have destroyed homes and murdered innocent brothers and fathers to avenge.

Which is exactly why Bibi funded Hamas. Nationalism is a cancer, no matter where it is.

He was in the bathtub and drowned. If you take enough ketamine, it will literally incapacitate you (for many, that's the entire point). He did this in a bathtub.

He did not die from overdosing on ketamine, because that's nearly impossible. He was stupid and incapacitated himself in a bathtub and drowned. It sucks, and it's easy to just blame a chemical.

I'm sure there are people who die after having a couple drinks and getting into the tub, but do we then say that they "died due to the acute effects of alcohol"? No. We say they drowned.

You'd be shocked by how many very successful and incredibly intelligent people have used drugs (including MDMA). Many still use them regularly. MDMA, in the right setting and in moderation, can (will) be a life-affirming and beautiful experience.

This honestly sounds like something a child would say after having D.A.R.E. in elementary school.

Yeah, "don't k-hole in the bathtub" seems like pretty good (and hopefully obvious) advice. This seems more like user error than the acute effects of the drug itself.

He didn't die from overdosing on ketamine, because that's nearly impossible.

He drowned.

That's unfortunate. The effects of many drugs can be entirely mental rather than visual, leaving the person looking like they're just laying down with their eyes closed, or staring into space.

Particularly, ketamine, as a dissociative, at higher doses, is entirely in your mind. What a person in that state looks like from the outside is zero indication of what they are experiencing.

So you sound like someone with some experience using drugs (particularly those of psychedelic or hallucinatory nature), right?

So you would know that drugs effect everyone differently. Personally, I never abused ketamine, but I have k-holed a handful of times, and my personal experience was that it had a profound effect on me in many ways.

But that's just my personal experience. Nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, those who know, know MXE (methoxetamine) was way better for that brief period of time before the supply permanently dried up.

Or, get this, everyone experiences drugs differently and your bad anecdote is irrelevant next to the mountains of evidence and peer reviewed studies.
