In an April 2023 statement submitted to the U.S. Congress to explain the budget request, FBI Director Christopher Wray cited several factors that had “significantly expanded the DNA processing requirements of the FBI.” He said the FBI collected around 90,000 samples a month — “over 10 times the historical sample volume” — and expected that number to swell to about 120,000 a month, totaling about 1.5 million new DNA samples a year. The FBI declined to comment.

What's inconsistent about "murder is bad"?

Stop your paranoia about China for one second to realize that your government and society is built on mass murder.

Again, we can talk about the terrible shit America has done and still does. I won't deny it. Yes murder is bad. Okay? That's not what you're here arguing though. You wanna try again, no sweat. I'll listen. Will you?

"Anything bad China has done, America has too" is what you said. That is not just factually wrong, it's childish and ignorant and above all lazy. You can't even be arsed to be more than nominally aware of things.

I was very clear about this already, so that you want to keep arguing tells me you're not reading my replies at all or they won't matter anyway, you'll just pound your fists and stomp your feet. Fine. Do that. It's alright. Won't help you, won't get you any closer to a better world, but you'll feel better for a half second. Neat yeah?

Somehow that time for "talking about America's shit" never arrives. Those murderers who killed, murdered and raped the Middle East for 30 years are still roaming free.

You're just a hypocrite.

Somehow? I'm not stopping you. You keep talking about something else - you keep insisting China and America do the same bad things. And I'm correcting you. That's all.

I'm not stopping you from talking about what America has done, in fact I already told you we can talk about it. Four times I said those words, in each individual comment I wrote to you. Every time you made a choice not to and instead chose to double down on your original take, flawed and incorrect though it was. Every time you just insisted I was defending America and I never did.

So talk. You have things to say, say them. Don't do this childish "well fine" act where you pretend I'm controlling what you can and cannot say.

By the way China never murdered and raped the middle east. Just one more example of the point isn't it?

Call me a hypocrite, that's fine. I never cared much what children think of me. Grow up kiddo.
