Learning about other ways to live, act, think and perceive is important if you want to understand the world you live in.

More importantly, to you at least, if you want to change other people caught in said powerplay, you have to listen to them. Forcing them to listen to you, will only make them grab harder at their own beliefs.

And one could argue talking with out listening is a powerplay of its own.

Nice to hear Florida Man has a voice. You, sir are a legend :)

I just feel it gets very complicated very very fast. If our military is ordered (by our fairly elected goverment) to attack another country without a reason acceptable to international law, it might be legal here, but illegal in the country being attacked. It might be perfectly reasonably, but that doesn’t matter, it is literally political violence, both illegal and legal at the same time. Being against political violence or violent political official acts gets messy faster than you can yell “Saddam had WMDs”. I don’t know if I am trying to make a point, but I think it is hard to condemn political violence per se, without having a long hard look in the mirror.

If politicians decides politically to use the military for violence against anyone or anything, is that political violence? And if yes, does that means there is legal political violence?

Orcas rely on the salt in the water to keep their skin healthy. If they stay too long even fresh water they will succumb to infections. Other types of dolphins seems to be able to adjust a little better to shifting amounts of salt in the water. I have no clue about the larger whales but I suspect they have problems with fresh water because they wont float as easy in it.
