Ok but also the Iran government has not been particularly good right? Like, the previous king was a clown, true, but this regime hasn't exactly been a steward of the people's happiness has it If you picked a random baker and put h

That's why you give them a motto of "to protect and serve". Protection and service are very expensive, and utterances are very cheap.

I think it's just what democracy does, make people to turn off their brains and instead decide if something is good/bad, right/wrong based on whether they like the person saying it. All you have to do is look at this food pyr

I would be especially concerned if the government attacked with non-military tanks. The government dropping a water tank on your house certainly would be concerning.

Pretty much. Even to the non-religious, when you look comparatively at secular (which heavily overlaps with: leftist) cultures vs religious ones, one can't help but surmise that the goal was to open the gates to being as degenerate as

I think there are treatments too though. I think there's some drug that can be prescribed that blunts the pleasure of it for those predisposed.

What do they consider the threshold for alcoholism? I.e. how bad was your drinking before you realized you had a problem?

Let's apply Trump logic: First, apply huge tariffs in a chaotic way. Claim this won't affect prices. Then, fire people from the central bank, to pressure them to nevertheless lower interest rates. Then, claim to be a force for red

Misunderstanding why the CEO is paid so much. If you've ever worked at a company that's a chaotic shitshow, you'll know how strong the effect of the CEO is - it always comes down to the guy at the top not being up to it. The

Usually I go the "didn't deny it" route on responses like these, but it's Christmas. Smearing the right is absolutely fine - the left have honed this in expertly, so I don't think anyone on the right should be upset

As suspected, he was being an idiot and driving too fast, killing himself and his passenger. No sympathy, no grounds for sob pieces. Passive tense "...killed in..." is wrong here. Correct title "... recklessly killed himself

Because the whole thing wasn't actually wanted. They just needed some theatre to make it look like they were fulfilling their campaign promise. Trying to get a government to reduce its spending from within is stupid and naive. There is

It's widely accepted that the US lost in Vietnam due not to military defeat, but from the clever Tet Offensive - where they successfully influenced US politics via US journalism, to cause them to simply cease fighting. Whether they sho

Then they'll have to build their own tech though instead of just fining foreign tech and regulating tech to death. Not really their thing. China's helped by being pro-China.

I'm not religious, but I wonder when in say 50 years, when many western European countries have become Muslim countries, how they'll handle religious desecration. I do imagine though it won't be PG rated.
