Yep, that's on track! My house has almost tripled in price since I bought it 12 years ago. Denver metro. No way I could afford it if I had to buy it today.

I'll totally agree with Norway. Did a 3 week road trip from Oslo to Å and back this summer. Got sick of hamburgers, pizza, and fake "kebabs" real fast. I expected to be eating so much fresh fish, but it was fairly rare to find. Best meal I had was a Thai "restaurant" attached to a one pump gas station in the middle of nowhere run by the sweetest Thai grandma. It took some back and forth to convince her I wasn't Norwegian and wanted actual Thai spicy. And it was excellent.

Though not required for this situation, stand your ground laws have a big effect. When no such law exists, you're definitely going to be the subject of a homicide investigation and may get charged and have to get a jury to acquit. When those laws do exist, the police won't bother investigating and the DA won't bring charges in many cases. In states like Texas or Florida, pretty much all you have to do is be on your property or say you felt threatened and shot first and you're free to go.

What were soldiers doing in hospitals and schools? It's almost like they wanted to get themselves blown up!

Oh, my bad. Wrong place. I got it confused with this one:

“A Major Massacre” in Jabaliya; Israeli Forces Raid Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, Killing Patients

Or maybe it was this one:

Israel strike on Gaza school-turned-shelter kills 17, hospital says

Damn, maybe it was this one:

Israeli attack closes last functioning hospital in north Gaza

Found it! I was thinking of this one:

Israeli shelling of Gaza school kills at least 22

Well, it's at least one of those.

Heh, don't take my perspective as being supportive of it.

We have let the world know there are no rules

Quite the opposite. The US is demonstrating that it is above any international law and will do what it wants regardless of any standing agreements. It's demonstrating that the only rules that matter are the ones it makes. Israel is our dog on our leash and we're letting it bite someone. But if anyone hurts our dog, we'll go full John Wick on their country. That's why Israel bombs schools and hospitals without warning and Iran gives a few days notice before they attack.

Because believers will listen to Christianity's divinely inspired interpretation of the Bible that says that. Non-christians won't listen to that. Therefore anyone who believes the earth is older has rejected Christianity. He did it to help identify the non-believers because he's a petty bitch.

In the US, the penalties can be higher if you're drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.
