Besides the absurdity of this, who gets to decide the name of a geographical feature?
If this were to actually happen wouldn’t it mean literally nothing? Like maybe officially in the USA it would be referred to by its new name but why would other countries follow? And I get that that the USA does a lot in the Gulf, but from my [very basic] understanding most of it is international waters.
Could legislation be proposed to rename the Atlantic Ocean? And if so wouldn’t that just end up with the USA following strange semantics other countries don’t?
You sound so close minded and poorly educated it makes me sad. It’s as if you have the reading comprehension and argumentative skills of a 4th grader.
Instead of trying to reply to my comment in a constructive way you just dug a deeper hole for yourself. You read one (one) sentence and decided that not only was that my argument, but also the only sentence worth mentioning.
And if you think there is no value in reading the Quran for literature, cultural, political, etc reasons then you’re dull.
Like holy shit man go to community college or something and try to learn
That’s gonna fuck up your stroke bruh. If you want a seat cushion for a rowing machine a folded towel or a piece of an old yoga mat will do. You can buy more expensive rowing specific seat cushions but it’s lowk not worth it unless you’re spending a serious amount of time on the erg (and are still uncomfortable)
I’m not quite sure why you’re trying to debate if the Bible has allegories. Tbh you’re being weirdly aggressive about a point I never even brought up.
It’s hard to describe how ignorant it sounds to say that the Bible isn’t worth reading. Is the Quran worth reading? Are the Vedas worth reading? Most people haven’t read The Communist Manifesto so we should probably just forget about it since we get the gist of it. I’m a firm believer in evolution but I never read On the Origin of Species so I’m sure it isn’t a very valuable text. I’m all for remembering the slave trade and giving a voice to the generational trauma of African Americans, but I don’t think there’s any reason to read Beloved . How can you not realize how insane you sound? What makes a book valuable enough for you to read it?
And yes, reading Dianetics would give a great understanding of why Scientology is fucked up compared to some bs like “Tom cruise is a weirdo and gave all his money to Scientology so it must be the worst.”
