Russia is in the process of invading the Ukraine

Forget about the US, its got nothing to do with the behaviour of Russia - You can't justify the evil actions of your country just because "another country once did it"

This is how a psychopath will rationalize everything
You've really got to break your mind out of thinking this way - Its not healthy

You're talking about historical events from 60+ years ago - So because another country once did something bad almost a century ago, its okay to do it today?

You can legitimise any evil deed using this thought process - It is the reasoning of a psychopath, and a sickening and dangerous way to think
(Someone once murdered somebody, so its okay if you murder someone today)

Using this argument, government run trains shouldn't charge passengers, since the tax payer has already paid for the infrastructure.

I don't see why the Australian government can't reclaim some of its initial investment by charging the consumer of the product, especially when most of the consumers are overseas.

If you drop all '1's from a random sequence, aren't you just moving to a numeric system based on 9 symbols instead of 10?

You can still encode every song in existence using this sequence, you'd just have to change the encoding method.

You could do something like removing every '1', which was preceded by an '8' in the sequence, but then its not a random sequence any more, because we've just added a regular pattern to it.
