    Compulsory Military Service

    Those who have been through military service will tell you that this is is probably only 10% of what we do (all those fun parts you have described). Mostly we spent our time waiting for something to do, clean our areas or maintain our equipment.

    Compulsory Military Service

    Besides, military provides stability to the country which again is important to attract investors to come in, etc. So in a way having a strong defence drives economic growth.

    Compulsory Military Service

    Been through 2 year compulsory military service, won't argue whether it is slavery or not. Of course it drains 2 years of my life but I live in a very small country with 2 shitty neighbours so I guess military is a form of great deterrence. (seriously, Malaysia and Indonesia have retarded...

    Serious Death Penalty

    Death penalty is legal in my country, and it is used quite commonly. For example, drug trafficking and kidnapping acts are most certainly punished by death penalties. Hence, I guess the 'ruling by fear' has resulted in a very low crime-rate country. I agree with trc. I personally think that...

    is Apple better than Samsung?

    I never like Apple iOs, many people said that it is more user-friendly but I found it confusing and annoying as fuck. Plus I do not have other apple products (or other andriod products for)anyway so syncing one device to another is useless for me. Strangely, I find android easier to use...
