  1. The whole point isn't that it doesn't limit things, its the aftermath of the war and the consequences that would come with them. A country isn't stopped right when it break the convention, it's the aftermath that causes actual impact. There's a reason there's such a massive reaction to any use of chemical weapons. Any formal breaking of international law would cripple any country like China that is still trying to get a hand in the world stage. The US has never technically violated the Geneva convention. China using a weapon that purposefully blinded people would get a very harsh reaction.
  2. Because China is a permanent member of the UN security council, they have a veto on any type of military action the UN might take. Basically they can shut down anything that happens in the UN that has to do with the military. You might remember Russia using this power when the UN was going to take action in Crimea. They would lose this power which is a huge asset. The Treaty of Versailles ruined post war Germany, making them pay extreme debts, and limiting any type of economic activity they might try. China would surely lose their spot as one of the top economies in the world with the amount of sanctions that would be against it for breaking such a universally accepted treaty.
  3. Violating the Geneva Convention would also mean extreme post war retaliation, likely far worse than the Treaty of Versailles to Germany. Because they are international law, they'd be extremely strict about it, and likely strip all of Chinas advantages in the UN such as being a permanent member of the UN security council.

    Why have I dropped 700 dollars on ski equipment…

    @Chaos_Sorcerer Honestly, Im still not sure. I know for sure its going to be in Science and Engineering, but everything is just so cool and interesting I cant find a single thing I want to focus on. Right now its Aerospace Engineering, but even with that stuck in my head, things like molecular biology are forcing themselves into my brain. I just cant figure out what interests me most. It must have math though, I love math and Im great at it so anything that doesnt have it would kill me. Im probably just going to wait until grade 11 when I can take all the science courses and Calculus and vectors to decide what programs I should apply for.

    Why have I dropped 700 dollars on ski equipment…

    @Chaos_Sorcerer Honestly, probably none. My RESP is already maxed out every year, and I have a plan to make it through university, so Im not really worried about it. I honestly just need to figure out what I want to do. I can either cruise through high school easily and go to a really good university here, or put a ton of effort in and hard work and try to get into a good school into the states, but Im not sure if the benefits outweigh how much work and effort Id need to put in to go to a school there. Like is it really worth the hours more of work and effort Id need to get into MIT than UfT? Im just going into grade 10 now though so Im not super concerned.

    @Chaos_Sorcerer I work as an Underwater Ceramic Technician (dishwasher)/line cook at a sports bar/restaurant, and do general stuff at my family butchershop. Its definitely awesome having my own source of income, I mean, I have to pay income tax and stuff now but Im no longer a dependent on my parents so in the governments eyes Im technically self reliant which is a pretty cool feeling as a 15 year old

    @Dan Castellaneta True, the only bills I have to worry about are my monthly phone bills and my weekly RRSP contribution, but over month that only totals to about $150
  10. Thats not the reason why, Instagram and Snapchat do the exact same thing, Facebook just generally has a rep for being for old people and family. If anything, older people are more concerned about data collection, and basically noone in Gen Z cares.

    @Dan Castellaneta That is very true, is it bad that Im waiting for my next pay check just so I can get even more ski stuff?
  12. Why have I dropped 700 dollars on ski equipment in the middle of the summer?

      @Clanscorpia Yeah, same. My parents have said that they'd pay for my education here, and I can just work during the summers if I need extra money. I've always wanted to go to school in South Canada, but I'm now planning on just relaxing during high school and hopefully doing well in uni to get into a nice graduate program in the US.

       

      What do you wanna be when you grow up, btw

  13. Spotify is the best 10 dollars a month I spend, definitely worth much more than my $50 that goes into my RRSP, who needs retirement savings when you can have good music
  14. Definitely smoked Gouda, it works so well with a good burger.
  15. Ill probably be getting the lower end model one when it comes out or a RED 8, Ive never actually used 3DTouch on my 6s so a loss on that isnt that bad. As long as the front camera stays as good as it was on my 6s then Ill be sure to like it.
  16. Hahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahaha I can name 5 people off the top of my head that would gladly raise taxes just for something like that

    I did a thing with carbon fiber

    @dizmo My old cross country ski boots had like 75 grams of carbon fiber and they were like my most prized possession while I had them
