  1. The trial made it clear that Martin attacked Zimmerman. Zimmerman followed Martin, Martin noticed and attacked Zimmerman. Martin straddled him and bashed his head in the ground, then Zimmerman shot Martin. It’s self defense not murder

  2. Nadi J I’m just repeating what the educated experts said in court. If you don’t like it you should bother them. But I trust them

  3. She’s a grad student so she’s older than undergrads
    29
  4. It’s an insult to the black correctional officers because it implies that they are going to lose their tempers and kill him. It’s insulting

  5.  @xdaydreamerx the Gazans live under a blockade, not occupation. And seeing everything they do, can you blame Israel or Egypt?
    17
  6. Trump does NOTHING. He is supremely selfish.
    14
  7. Kim Jong-un saying "I want to assault my patient" is unprofessional, and the courts have decided that yes you can sue, and win
    13
  8. OhJ33BUS I guess independent media is now "the left"? Anything that doesn't praise God lord Trump is the left isn't it?

  9. You misunderstand the conflict. South Korea has always welcomed deserters
    10
  10. The sentence is harsh because -They rejected a plea deal. -They were repeat offenders -They terrorized children with actual guns. -they showed little remorse. Up until they were sentenced, that is. The judge knows what he's doing.

  11. Did you know that in 1994, Congress banned assault weapons for ten years? Remember? And guess what? NEVER was the ban found by courts to be unlawful. This is proof that banning specific weapons, be they automatics (already banned), assault weapons, and/or handguns, does not violate the 2nd Amendment.

  12. Nsn Man No you fool. Trump will now continue to allow Russia to meddle in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and Syria. This will make the world more unstable!

  13.  @wombat5252 better to have a Democrat in Congress than a Republican

  14. Andrew Yang realized that campaigning is expensive. At least he got his name out there. Maybe he will return later.

  16. QueenDesigns now Russia will continue to annex other countries! How do you not see that Trump is playing right into their hand?!

  17. Jack Van Kirk lying under oath is now acceptable politics? If you had problems with "Crooked Hillary" you should be outraged with Trump. Furthermore your moral equivalence is dumb. US hasn't installed dictators or used Napalm since the Cold War.

  19. James O'Blivion Why is this funny? Canada has its share of bumpkins similar to the US. White socially-conservative people who live in isolated towns and only interact with other white people.

  20.  Jacob Woodford  Trump actually really hurt the US even before Covid-19. Trump spent billions of taxes on wasteful and corrupt housing SS agents in his private properties. He also continued to ignore healthcare, climate change, immigration, gun violence, and economic inequality.

  21. Puerto Rico is the US. Why do you think the federal government is to blame for a hurricane, earthquake, and old grid?

  22.  @saidsheck7377 are the people at this rally truly innocent?

  23.  @darknessaureliustv should the age to join the military be raised to 25? So that only mature adults comprise the service?

  25. Jay Hernandez you are making things up

  26. Jay Hernandez I think you’re wrong when you say the black COs wouldn’t do anything. That is an insult to their professionalism.

  27.  @wadestanton  just Republicans. Missouri is a Republican state

  28.  @deplorablefederalist7908  we just want to change America and make it more like Europe, not leave it

  29.  @Yanks4life99 how are Biden and Democrats to blame for this?

  30. That’s a loaded statement and you don’t know enough about giant institutions to make generalizations.

  31. My coworker wasn’t black, but she was pale skinned Mexican-American, early 30s. She underwent surgery and the doctors left a piece of metal in her abdomen. She complained of pain for at least days before a doctor finally took her seriously and investigated

  32. Gun control saves lives

  33.  @nickydaley345 someone who shouldn’t be allowed to buy guns. Pass gun control

  34. The scientists either made deals ala Unit 731, or were never war criminals

  35. This is retarded. When adults bully each other, we don’t expect adults to fight it out. Follow the law

  36. Christal Smith who knows? Maybe he was concerned

  37. Kayla May following someone is not illegal and does not let you beat up and maybe kill someone

  38. You are allowed to joke. This isn’t helping the country. Gun control is what the US needs.

  39. This is a just war against the enemy in Gaza

  40. Do not carry around cash 💵

  41. That’s normal nomenclature

  42. Chad Mower it is racism to treat your black staff like temperamental children. They are adults who are hired to do their job, not to be marginalized because of their race.

  43. Revan Tobias you can't just say "I want to beat up my patient". That is highly unprofessional and illegal regardless of the context.

  44.  @wadestanton  the US is torn between values of common sense and inward thinking degeneracy, which has been generously termed “populism”.

  45. Thepowerfulkiller no. The scientists were usually not war criminals.

  46. Show proof
    4
  47. Ananya Pathak That’s true, but it doesn’t excuse Martin for attacking Zimmerman first. It doesn’t invalidate Zimmerman’s self-defense.
    4
  48. Ananya Pathak it was Martin who decided to attack Zimmerman, even though Zimmerman was following Martin, attacking him was completely unnecessary and illegal. Then Zimmerman shot Martin as he was being straddled. That is the self defense argument that held up in court
    4
  49. Anoushka Biswas following someone doesn’t give you the right to wail on them while they’re pleading for you to stop
    4
  50. Kayla May I don’t know but I think Martin had no reason to beat up Zimmerman and Zimmerman has a reason to defend himself.
    4
  51. Kayla May look at it this way, do you have the right to smash my face in if I’m following you from a distance? No you do not. Not if all I’m doing is walking
    4
  52. Kayla May it was dispatch, not a cop. Secondly, it does not give Martin permission to break the law and attack anyone
    4
  53. Kayla May I don’t understand how I’m beating around the bush?
    4
  54.  @Vr_Demon_  where’s the proof for your loaded statements that the money was stolen by PR officials. Puerto Rico is part of the US. You’re saying the officials (who?) stole billions without anyone else noticing?
    4
  55.  @ruoazquara6070  what proof is there that the US government is short changing Puerto Ricans?
    4
  56.  @ruoazquara6070  how is that the federal government’s fault? If Puerto Rico secedes will that magically give them a new grid? And end the blackouts? Think

  57.  @christinebuckingham8369 it is anti-Semitic. You are blaming Israel for doing what any other nation would be doing.

  58.  @tillie3545  you are making things up. Do you feel good about yourself making up lies about people you meet online?

  59.  @dgoddard  the best way to improve the US’s image is to vote Democrat
    4
  60.  @adamarlem9863  how come other developed nations like Norway, Israel, Japan, the UK, all have tougher gun laws and lower rates of murder, gun-murder, and mass shootings? It’s proof that gun control works

  61. Jay Hernandez it’s a huge insult to the black COs because their boss is treating them like they are children

  62. Did you know I donated 50 bucks to Joe Biden

  63. Kiwix \o/ there was never going to be a war. But now thanks to Trump, Putin will sow instability in Europe and the Middle East.

  64. You do know it’s the Republicans who are blocking the infrastructure bills right
    3
  65. The US topples dictatorships and then gives the people billions to rebuild and improve. No other nation is as generous as the US. Russia only takes, and oppresses its own people
    3
  66.  @Crimsoth  Lordy, gun control does not violate the 2nd Amendment. A ban on assault weapons passed Congress in 1994, it was not ruled unconstitutional by the courts, which means it did not conflict with the 2nd Amendment or any other law.
    3
  67. Something to consider is that the US has a much larger population than Australia. So just by raw numbers there will be more police brutality
    3
  68. I donated 30 dollars to Biden
    3
  69.  @notofthisworld5267  how is this Biden’s fault? This is Trump’s fault for cozying up to Putin and giving him free reign for the past term

  70. Well cops have bills to pay same as everyone. It wouldn’t be fair if you lost your car or house due to unpaid bills, because your shooting is pending review.

  74. The dogs didn’t kill him. The fall did.

  75. You know that’s not true. You’re just saying provocative statements to get thumbs up
    3
  76. Floyd’s struggles represent what has been happening to Black Americans for years. Police brutality done with impunity against black Americans. It’s not right
    3
  77.  @Cacowninja all other developed nations have tougher gun laws, and lower rates of both murder and gun-murder than the US. So, you’re wrong.
    3
  78.  @gardengatesopen  sad truth is, the Republicans are the issue we all need to come together and address. The damage they have caused is too enormous. Climate Change, Flint MI Water Crisis, Trump, ISP monopolies, expensive healthcare, it is all laid at their feet
    3
  79. Ananya Pathak that’s true, and Zimmerman shouldn’t have followed in my opinion. But Zimmerman didn’t deserve to attacked by Martin, and Martin shouldn’t have done anything aggressive.
    3
  80. Ananya Pathak I agree I think Zimmerman was looking for trouble when he followed Martin. And I wish Zimmerman had not been carrying a gun. But I still wish Martin had not attacked Zimmerman, that was unnecessary and probably illegal. I can’t blame Zimmerman for using force, if I were getting my head bashed into the ground I’d be upset too.

  81. Couple screws Loose Following someone for a brief period isn’t a justification for violence.
    3
  82. tatiana gomes You don’t get to beat someone up for following you on a public street
    3
  83. -- Does that matter? He was found not guilty?
    3
  84. Anoushka Biswas I agree Zimmerman should’ve done more to de-escalate if possible. But Martin hit Zimmerman multiple times while he’s Zimmerman was on the ground yelling for help. A jury believed Zimmerman was right to shoot Martin in self defense
    3
  85. Anoushka Biswas Zimmerman didn’t start the attack, it was Martin who punched first.
    3
  86. Kayla May Maybe, but that doesn’t mean Martin was right to start attacking Zimmerman
    3
  87. Kayla May What Martin did was illegal
    3
  88. Kayla May Whatever reason Martin had, it was illegal to initiate violence because Martin was not threatened
    3
  89. amazing cynic Pursued? The court proved that though Zimmerman was shadowing Martin, Martin instigated violence by attacking Zimmerman, and continued to attack even after Zimmerman was neutralized. Hard to claim self defense when you’re the only one giving injuries
    3
  90.  @zerosalacup7657  this is true but it doesn’t excuse Martin’s aggressive behavior, or invalidate Zimmerman’s self-defense
    3
  91.  @MrSmurfbug Puerto Ricans do not want independence. It would not solve any problems. All it would do is end the aid they receive from Congress and end their right to work and live in the States. Statehood is more plausible. Referendums have been held in the past decades, and they were all indecisive. Puerto Ricans want to remain a territory for now.

  92.  @supagoon8  20 years is appropriate. A one and only life is not something to be taken away lightly. Even if that life belongs to a criminal

  96. Behavioral therapist means he had master’s at least, doesn’t matter if you’re educated or not. Discrimination is real

  97. What’s your point? This doesn’t affect this trial in any way. Do you feel attacked that the country is ignoring something important?
    3
  98. Who’s they? It’s a few people of low rank, the problem seems to be that the brass doesn’t do enough all the time. US policy is to target bad guys who deserve
    3
  99.  @user-tn1in5he4n  All I’m saying is that the OP and others are wrong to generalize and implicate the entire military for a few low ranking grunts
    3
  100.  @kourtlandperry1698 how are Democrats to blame for inflation and high gas prices? The whole world is experiencing these issues

  101. The deplorables are still around. They are ok with limiting legal immigration, and with turning away US allies like the Kurds and refugees.

  104.  @lonniehubbard2302  false implication, Germany’s healthcare for example is a SMALLER part of their GDP than the US’s, even though Germans’ healthcare covers more people more thoroughly. Fact is, liberal left leaning policies in Europe are better in every way, the data proves it.

  105. I think liberals should co-opt this hateful message similar to how they co-opted the term Obamacare for the ACA.

  106. It is humanitarian to NOT vote for the cease fire, the cease fire enables Hamas to continue existing.

  107.  @EricK-tb2dn that’s what they get for the war they started
    3
  108.  @sneedwashere  Trump is the one who started the withdrawal, so it makes sense to blame Trump.
    3
  109.  @sneedwashere  this is literally Trump’s fault, he started the withdrawal. The Taliban benefited from Trump
    3
  110.  g h  how is Biden to blame? This was started by Trump?
    3
  111.  @jeffrice4713  how is this Biden’s fault? Trump is the one who started the withdrawal, it exists only because he created it.
    3
  112.  @texasveteran7231  uh, do you disagree with the FACT that the withdrawal was started and advocated by Trump?
    3
  113.  @johnbrown6901  liberal states are all richer than conservative states, so who’s really the wrong ones?

  115. You’re a conspiracy theorist and are uneducated

  116. Chad Mower I think it’s racist and so do they. The decision to bar black COs from doing their job was reversed after complaints from the COs themselves
    3
  117.  @eredinbreaccglas3935  Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that US needs gun control. It is proof that when civilians are allowed access to guns, it causes problems.
    3
  118.  R  what Kyle Rittenhouse did was legal, but it was not moral. He could’ve stayed home and then the people he shot would still be alive. What happened that night in Kenosha was a tragedy, not to be celebrated or repeated
    3
  119. ***** Trump has all along been promoting Isolationism and Putinism, unlike Obama who has condemned Russia's invasions into other countries such as Georgia and Ukraine.  But the fact that Russian politicians and Putin himself are happy to hear that Trump is elected, means that Russians believe that Trump will not continue Obama's plans of punishing Russia, which means the light for them is green.  This is dangerous and immoral.

  120. Kim Jong-un that's different

  121. Erik Contreras the second case is similar to assault and is not to be trifled with

  122. owen west Seriously the GOP is so slimy. They smeared Clinton at every turn, hypocritically accused of her of what transpires in politics daily, swept all of Trump's scandals under the rug, and after obstruction Obama for 8 years, want to get up and play the game now that their man is in charge. How despicable. And enough idiotic voters ate it up. What a failure for democracy.

  123. Nuclear Bomber Putin is a dictator, he lies to his people and silences all opposition.  He also has overt ties to the Russian Mafia.  He is a crook

  124. FIRST

  125.  @773-o2n  false equivalence fallacy. US/NATO don’t want to fight Russia. Ukraine doesn’t want to fight Russia. Ukraine wants to join NATO and the EU, so it can be protected from Putin’s aggression. Russia is a corrupt regime under Putin. NATO, EU, Ukraine, and the US have never taken offensive action against Russia. Russia therefore is a bully and a menace, it is claiming self defense to curry favor domestically and abroad, but Putin’s real motivations are to distract the Russian public from his poor management of the nation.
    2
  126.  @snoremonster7061  you make no sense. Why does past purpose justify the morality of anything? Secondly, dogs have been bred in some Asian and Indigenous American cultures as food, does that make it right to kill them?
    2
  127.  @chance52694  it’s not not personal it applies to everyone. Dogs are as smart as livestock and share all the same emotions, if it’s wrong to kill one it’s wrong to kill any of them, because they are all the same
    2
  128.  @Iburn247  bro…the courts literally decided that gun rights were not infringed by banning assault weapons. It’s settled law. You can read it online, for free.
    2
  129.  @richlopez5896  what about the assault weapon ban in 1994? It was legal then, therefore doesn’t that mean it’d be legal to ban them today too?
    2
  130.  @Ausaris  a ban on assault weapons passed Congress and was not unconstitutional, in 1994. That’s proof that a ban on assault weapons today, in 2022, would not violate the 2nd Amendment, because the two bans would be practically the same.
    2
  131.  @EasyFinancialFreedom  most people don’t consider embryos to be babies or people
    2
  132.  @danielviets4427  firstly, it was Trump who set the timeline of the withdrawal, Biden extended it. And I don’t think your opinions on Bagram or the pullout mean anything. Are you suggesting that the US occupy Bagram Air Base indefinitely? Or for a longer period? How is that possible? That wouldn’t be a withdrawal, that would be pointless as it wouldn’t change anything. Also, comparing this to the Vietnam War is folly, it took South Vietnam 2 years to fall since the US withdrew, here in Afghanistan, the government collapsed in only a couple weeks, no comparison. You also can’t call Biden a liar because he was mistaken. This was unplanned and none of the experts were expecting the government to collapse so rapidly. Unforeseen events happening doesn’t make Biden a liar, it makes him mistaken, and he can’t be blamed for this, his policy and military expert/advisors were all equally mistaken, and shocked at the speed with which the Afghan government collapsed
    2
  133.  @ralphalf5897  show proof that Biden is personally for blame for the ISIS-K suicide bomber attacking US/British forces at Kabul International Airport during the withdrawal
    2
  134. Due process and all that
    2
  135.  @nghtwtchmn129  probably legally, or he got it from an associate who had it legally. Hence why the US has both the most lax gun laws, and the highest rates of murder and gun-murder in the developed world
    2
  136. Well to be fair, the PA in the West Bank, the Palestinian State to be, has perpetrated horrible actions unto Israel, such as the First and Second Intifadas.

  140. Time to pass gun control
    2
  141.  @johnames6430  Biden never kept people in cages like Trump did. Migrants in the Obama Presidency were held short term in holding pens, not locked up long term which is what Trump did.

  142.  @sld7262  early embryos are not really humans

  143. It’s not America. It’s right wingers only. They don’t consider other evidence from countries that gun control works, or that regular shootings are not acceptable anywhere else.
    2
  144. PrintProfessor lol it’s funny when Canadians think their country is diverse. Canada has no culture outside of Quebec. It’s all degenerate wastelands or big boring cities sprawling for miles. Canada hates culture and just like it hates immigrants. You can’t even immigrate to Canada without a college degree. The US does multiculturalism far better, at the very least, it’s done more interestingly and the people aren’t antisocial whackos as within Canada.
    2
  145. PrintProfessor if you are poor, or uneducated, Canada tells you to hit the bricks. Donald Trump, widely regarded as a racist and an vicious nationalist, proposed something so inhumane, Democrats recoiled in shock; a skill-based immigration system modeled on Canada. That’s right. Canada has skill based immigration and the US generally is more egalitarian. So much so, that top Democrats like Nancy Pelosi called the move to Model Canada as heartless and cruel.
    2
  146. PrintProfessor so maybe we’re both right. Canada lets more people in, but only a certain clientele. US lets a broader range of people apply, but the rates of admittance are lower. Anyways, the Muslim Ban is now illegal so this ban on certain nations is a moot point. Trump is also an anomaly and it remains to be seen if his policy of anti immigration will endure
    2
  147. What part of Palestine do you Belice Israel is occupying? The only part of the West Bank which Israel occupies is Area C, and H1 of Hebron. This is a small area of the West Bank and only a couple hundred thousand Palestinians live under Israeli occupation. The occupation, let me remind you, is because Palestine is dangerous to Israel, remember the First and Second Intifada, the Ramallah Lynchings, and the many other terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians and military? Well…that’s why Israel is occupying the West Bank. It’s what they get for being aggressive
    2
  148.  Justin Foard  Dang bro Trump disbanded the task force caused 220k deaths, 6 trillion more to the debt, and a depression.
    2
  149.  @lissabee49 Israel is not wanting this war, it is taking the same measures any other nation would do to defeat the enemy next door. Your complaints about genocide ignore the IDF’s actual tactics, directed only at Hamas, and ignore the serious threat posed by Hamas, which justify the high collateral damage

  150.  @SovereignTheReaperVI  get a job and vote Democrat
    2
  151.  @red05gto1  Depriving cops of their income because they may have done something wrong is illogical and premature. A cop on paid leave is the right thing to do. He/she may be found innocent, meanwhile they still have bills to pay, and if they fall behind on bills they can lose their house or their car, etc. Sometimes cops are put on leave without pay, are pressured to resign immediately or are fired. And being on leave is not always intended as punishment. Even if a cop was clearly justified in using a firearm, they tend to be put on paid leave as the police ensures that it was all legal.

  152.  @aaronfox5559  it is time to pass gun control
    2
  153.  @jerryriggan  gun control works well in the UK, Australia, Japan, and all other developed nations, at reducing murder by any weapon, gun-murder, and suicide by any means, and suicide by gun. It is proof year after year snowflake, gun control works
    2
  154.  @aaronfox5559  facts are facts friend, the facts and truth are that gun control works

  155.  @aaronfox5559  I am 26 and make six figures in biotech, I’m buying my own place in Massachussets. I’m an elitist who thinks he’s better than everyone else. There’s nothing you can show me.

  156. Time to repeal the 2nd Amendment

  157. The government must have fairness and a heart. Trespassing and theft are what they did and are relatively minor. The people who brought weapons, bombs, and threats of violence are another matter

  158.  @StormCoderWorld  American dictatorships in Central America? Where? The only dictatorship is Nicaragua and that is not a US ally
    2
  159.  @StormCoderWorld  Where is the proof Honduras and Guatemala are dictatorships? NGO reports like the Democracy Index do not consider them so I believe. Secondly, Nicaragua has never been fully run by the Contras so blaming the US for their situation seems misguided
    2
  160.  @StormCoderWorld  that dictatorship lasted only 8 years in 1950s. That period is too brief and too distant in the past to have bearing on the present. It is not proof that the US has messed up Latin America

  161. Uh the Democrats are the ones who tried to pass the bill. Trump and McConnell said no, citing objections to funding.

  163. Superbros Racism? Classy. Zionism doesn’t control the US and is nothing more than patriotism
    2
  164. What would you expect them to do. They’re outnumbered and violence could lead to worse injuries. Also by recording the world can appreciate the dangers of racism
    2
  165.  @angelicadeleon3525  I think the comment was meant to be sarcastic. But the OP is wrong. The US cannot magically give Puerto Ricans “the right to vote”, what does that even mean? Statehood in PR is controversial and the US will not ascend Puerto Rico to statehood unless the Puerto Rican public unanimously backs it. US does this out of consideration for what Puerto Ricans want, whether it’s a territory or statehood.

  181.  @zerosalacup7657  if you are truly afraid of someone then your first instinct should be to flee or defend yourself. Martin was straddling Zimmerman and punching his head repeatedly. What Martin did was not self defense.

  182.  Fanour nour  hey I don’t necessarily think Zimmerman is heroic, but I put myself in his shoes based on the facts. If someone was punching my head into the ground as Martin was, I would defend myself in some way. That’s what Zimmerman did, but tragically it was lethal for Martin. Martin for his part should not have attacked Zimmerman, the trial proved Martin was straddling and beating Zimmerman repeatedly. It appears Martin is the aggressor and could’ve done more to avoid hostilities

  188.  @bidc4044 Israel doesn’t care about building settlements in Gaza. And the Hannibal Directive is largely an urban legend or misstated by people trying to suggest Israel has no compassion for civilians. This was nothing more than friendly fire made in the fog of war. Hamas and other militia have abused conventions of war routinely, so IDF forces might not trust a white flag of surrender, they may have thought it was an ambush. As for some of the hostages talking Hebrew, do know it is common for Hamas and other Palestinian militia to speak Hebrew, for military and intelligence purposes.

  189.  @ChrisAlbertH47 why are you making assumptions about how the IDF fights Hamas? Have you considered that the high civilian casualty count is because Hamas hides among civilians? Rather than assuming Israel is deliberately targeting civilians?

    2
  227.  @segmenteddig6822 the US is not extracting oil from Syria, it will not leave merely when “the oil is gone”. The U.S. is in Syria to defend our allies like the SDF. If the U.S. is defending oil, it is doing so to protect the resources of our allies, not to get rich extracting oil and bringing it home, the logistics of which would be absurd and don’t hold up under any scrutiny
    2
  228.  @neckarsulme you are not correct, there are plenty of good reasons for the U.S. to be in the Middle East, defending our allies like the SDF, defeating enemies like ISIS, Iranian proxies, and Assad, who let me remind you, started the Syrian Civil War, this whole mess, in the first place back around 2012 or so.
    2
  229.  @bfry38 you are arrogant to say that all wars besides WW1 and WW2 are not worth fighting. What about defending South Korea in the Korean War? Defending South Vietnam in the Vietnam War?

  232.  @girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 a two state solution as you imagine it is not possible. Firstly, look at how the Palestinians reacted to Israel giving them their state in 2006. Israel gave them the whole Gaza Strip, and ended the occupation. How did the Palestinians react? With war and hatred. They elected Hamas and committed terrorism. Netanyahu remembers this, and he remembers the Palestinians committing the Second and First Intifadas in the years prior. Netanyahu believes that a two state solution is just impossible, and he’s not wrong.

  233. This is the Republicans’ fault for dragging this lockdown out.

  268. Aqua Man Assad is a dictator, dictators create extremism.  Saddam Hussein, Assad, they're all the same.  Why hasn't ISIS cropped up in Israel for instance?  The answer is because Israel is peaceful, democratic, and takes care of its citizens.  Assad, Hussein, and Putin, they all don't.  They all contribute to terrorism and extremism.  During the Arab Spring, this all boiled over, and it was their fault.  So by supporting Putin, you are supporting Assad and supporting terrorism.

  269. Tony Abbott Your premise is flawed.  Most of Iraq is relatively safe and prosperous.  Iraqi Kurdistan up north has flourished into one of the most prosperous and liberal places in the Middle East, all thanks to the Iraq War, and thanks to US nationbuilding.  What Putin wants however, is to dominate and crush the people.  It's not comparable to the US's mission. 
    1
  270. Aqua Man You are just wrong.  Iraq firstly has done well since the Iraq War.  US has given Iraq billions of dollars to rebuild.  And this has paid off.  Iraqi Kurdistan up north has flourished into one of the most liberal and tolerant places in the Middle East, and most of Southern Iraq is relatively safe and free of terrorism.  So using Iraq as an example that supporting rebels is bad, makes no sense.  And you are wrong.

  276. C M I don't think you understand what the pipeline is for. The pipeline does not add oil to the US. It does not compete with Saudi Arabia for importing oil to the US, as you suggest. The Keystone XL is an extension to a national pipeline that allows TransCanada, a Canadian oil company, to more cheaply bring oil from Canada, down south to the Gulf of Mexico, from which it is sold and exported from the US, to the rest of the oil. Little if any is sold to US consumers, who get most of their oil domestically.

  291.  @Ricatonniisasavage8854  dogs and cows have different behaviors but that’s irrelevant because they’re more similar than different. They each have the same amount of intelligence. They have emotions, they bond with their humans. It makes no sense for them to be treated differently.
    1
  292.  @Ricatonniisasavage8854  dog brains and cow brains are both similar. They are both sentient creatures, and sentience is what determines if something deserves compassion, not size or appearance.
    1
  293.  @Ricatonniisasavage8854  you can search videos of cows playing with each other and with people here on YouTube. They behave similar to dogs and obviously have emotions. Therefore, cows are proven similar to dogs, and therefore, they should all be treated the same, with compassion. Not to be slaughtered.

  294.  @Ricatonniisasavage8854  what proof do you have that cows don’t have similar emotions to dogs? What about videos of cows playing with people? Or showing affection to people and other cows?

  330.  @danielviets4427  be aware that even in most nations we think of as Pro-Choice, like in Western Europe, late term abortions are illegal unless there are specific and dire circumstances. So, it seems logical to me, that life begins in a late term abortion, at about 15 weeks or so.

  331.  @danielviets4427  Also, BIDEN DID NOT LEAVE AMERICANS BEHIND. THE EVACUATIONS ARE ONGOING AS OF TODAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2021. Taliban are so far cooperating with US and other nations’ requests that their citizens be permitted to gather at Kabul International Airport, and leave, if they wish to.
    1
  332.  YouTubeHates TheTruth  how is it Biden’s fault that a suicide bomber decided to blow himself up at the airport? Also, show proof that Biden is to blame for Taliban capturing US equipment. If he took it from the former Afghan Government then that’s because the government fell very quickly, only in 2 weeks. That’s an outcome neither he nor the experts expected.

  334.  @danielviets4427  AP wrote an article on September 9th, 2021, just a couple days ago, saying that 200 people, including Americans, safely boarded a commercial flight and left Afghanistan’s Kabul Airport. So, there’s no evidence Biden left anyone behind is there?

  335.  YouTubeHates TheTruth  I have seen no documented evidence so it seems you are wrong
    1
  336.  @danielviets4427  how is Biden to blame for the number of Americans in Afghanistan being unreported? That could only be his fault if all the Americans who are unaccounted for entered Afghanistan under his watch, and that’s not necessarily true, they may have entered before, possibly years or months before. Fact-check says that the reason the number of Americans in Afghan is unknown is because American travelers for years have not always been consistent about checking out at the US Embassy, or register departure on multiple channels. None of that is Biden’s fault.
    1
  337.  @danielviets4427  the situation in Afghanistan has changed and it wasn’t feasible to keep troops in Afghanistan anymore, meanwhile the Taliban has been allowing foreigners, including Americans, to leave peacefully. Flights containing foreigners are leaving Kabul Airport. There’s nothing Biden can be blamed for. He’s done nothing wrong
    1
  338.  @danielviets4427  how would Trump or anyone else have done a better job of the withdrawal? There’s nothing specific Biden can be blamed for. Events like the ISIS-K suicide bombing are beyond his control and the Military experts, who have been doing this for years and aren’t part of Biden’s staff, didn’t expect this either. I don’t see how Biden caused anything bad to happen
    1
  339.  @danielviets4427  show proof that Biden “chose not to” evacuate people. Why would Biden choose not to evacuate everyone he could? Your phrasing is dishonest and promotes a lie, unless you can prove it true. You haven’t so far. Secondly, the military warned Trump and Biden that a withdrawal might cause the Afghan government to collapse. That is not the same as saying not to do it. I wish the US stayed in and Trump never gave the order to leave, or Biden. But the fact is that Afghanistan was a sunk cost and the US’s resources aren’t infinite, there are more pressing m terrorists and regimes besides the Taliban in Afghanistan.

  362. Biden said US will defend Taiwan. He did not answer what role the US will militarily will play. Lloyd has echoed Biden’s answers, that the long-standing policy has not changed. To come out and say “yes or no” to troop deployment is risky for multiple reasons. If the US gives a statement affirming US troops will deploy to Taiwan and fight a Chinese invasion, then China may call the bluff and attack, which hurts Taiwan and means the US will either loose credibility if it does not respond, or will be forced to fight a bloody war if it does respond. Alternatively, if the US says “no American troops in Taiwan”, this may embolden Chinese claims and rattle Taiwanese, leading to an invasion of Taiwan or Taiwan trading its sovereignty to China to avert an invasion. US interests aren’t helped here either. The solution therefore, is to to speak as Biden and Lloyd have done, which is to reassure Taiwan and deter China with ambiguous messaging. This way China is discouraged from war, and Taiwan averts an invasion. US interests are served.

No wonder Vancouver is so expensive despite being so boring. I have been to Canada by the way, I went to Quebec City. I was bored. Nothing to do but walk around and eat food. Street performers were a nice distraction though. Dude, Canada has smarter politics and better healthcare than the US, but you have to admit that the country has no soul. The geography of the nation means everyone lives inside their smartphones and never mingles with other people. Canada is perhaps a tolerant country, where races live together, but it’s not a diverse country, where many cultures share ideas.

  406.  @JohnFelinn  the occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza Strip occurs precisely as a matter of self defense and pacifying the enemy. Israel used to occupy and even have settlements in the Gaza Strip until 2005, when Israel pulled out entirely with an offer of peace, this was intended to preclude the larger and more decisive pullout of the West Bank, and give the Palestinians a nation that was theirs, though likely with some concessions, namely Israel would keep East Jerusalem and the smaller cities surrounding it that Palestine claims. But anyways, after Israel pulled out from the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians elected Hamas, threw out PA, and began committing terrorism, only then was the Gaza Strip blockaded. Now Israel fears that if it pulls out from the West Bank, it too will be like the Gaza Strip. So the occupation will not end until the Palestinians prove they will be peaceful and good governing. Besides, Israelis have suffered many wars and terror attacks from Palestinians, building settlements and annexing land is justice

  463.  @StormCoderWorld  none of that proves that the coups were responsible for the current state of Latin America. The reason Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba and Nicaragua are corrupt is because their local leaders choose to be so. US could sever all ties with those nations and nothing would improve. Therefore the US cannot be responsible. Likewise US backed coups worked well where they succeeded, such as Grenada and Chile. Annual NGO reports list these and other US allies as more successful than enemies like Venezuela. The proof is not changed regardless of what opinion pieces or documents you provide.

  566. @ZrACKs ultRa the group was called the Mujahideen, and it included progressive figures like Hamid Karzai, who the US backed against the Taliban after the Muj split. Saying that the US funded the Taliban or al-Qaeda is dishonest and sensational
    1
  567. @ZrACKs ultRa the Mujahideen was not a terrorist group. There were many progressives in its ranks such as Hamid Karzai. When the Muj split, they founded the Northern Alliance and the US backed them. Their legacy continues to govern Afghanistan to this day. If the US didn’t fund the Muj then the communist regime in Afghanistan would remain.
    1
  568. @ZrACKs ultRa so what is your point? US is smushing the Taliban and would be doing more if the populists in the US would allow the military to take more action. Too much of the public is anti war despite war being an effective way of combating terrorism and helping allied nations who need US protection.

  655.  @dontbotherreadingthis7031  you are literally making up a fantasy. Most Afghans hate the Taliban and want the US to remain, because they remember the years the Taliban were in control and they were cruel leaders. Did you not go to school?

  660.  @johnwinter2252  what proof do you have that if the US enacts gun control, criminals will still have guns? Evidence from all other developed nations which have tougher gun laws and lower rates of murder and gun-murder per year, is proof that gun control is effective and will disarm criminals
    1
  661.  @johnwinter2252  well obviously given that other developed countries have tougher gun laws, lower murder rates, and lower gun-murder rates, it seems taking weapons away IS the answer. Do you dispute the facts?
    1
  662.  @johnwinter2252  you’re speculating without evidence. Meanwhile, the mountains of precedence and consensus by other developed nations, each unique but arriving at the same conclusion with data, is proof that gun control saves lives

  663.  @infinitytoinfinitysquaredb7836  independence is a bad idea. It’s like Kentucky or Kansas declaring independence. It will not magically help the local economy. Secondly Puerto Rico’s problems are not because of federal government or exploitation. So seceding from the US would not be fixing Puerto Rico’s systemic problems
    1
  664.  @JosueMartinez-ww1vj  do you have evidence that Puerto Rico is given a raw deal as a US Territory? How about sources and data? And explain how seceding will help PR? Will it make the island richer? How? What about all the taxes the US will likely STOP GIVING THE TERRITORY IF IT SECEDES?

  729. Guys I don't think you understand what the pipeline is for. The pipeline does not add oil to the US. It does not compete with Saudi Arabia for importing oil to the US, as you suggest. The Keystone XL is an extension to a national pipeline that allows TransCanada, a Canadian oil company, to more cheaply bring oil from Canada, down south to the Gulf of Mexico, from which it is sold and exported from the US, to the rest of the oil. Little if any is sold to US consumers, who get most of their oil domestically.

  806. I like chees Cake Murder rate in Britain, 2011-2012: 10.43 per 1,000,000. Firearms accounted for 6% of homicides, so .72 gun-homicides for 1,000,000. Through basic math, that's 1.043 murders, and .072 gun-murders, per 100,000 respectively. http://www.citizensreportuk.org/reports/murders-fatal-violence-uk.html (In this other article, the gun homicide rate in 2012 was listed for Whales and England as .07 per 100,000, so you can tell how closely the data lines up, which proves that my evidence is consistent. Scotland had no ratio posted but we can infer that it is insignificant. Northern Ireland is not included because that place is unusually violent and unstable. Here's that article, it too was written in and for 2012). http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/jul/22/gun-homicides-ownership-world-list Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter rate in the US, 2012: 4.7 per 100,000 As we know from the Guardian article, the US gun homicide rate is 2.97 per 100,000. 2.97/4.7 is about 63%. So of all the murders committed in the US in 2012, 63% involved guns. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/tables/1tabledatadecoverviewpdf/table_1_crime_in_the_united_states_by_volume_and_rate_per_100000_inhabitants_1993-2012.xls Conclusion: Accounting for population differences; 1) The UK has about 4 times less murders in general compared to the US. 2) Only 6% of UK murders involved guns, compared to 63% in the US. 3) The gun homicide rate out of 100,000 in the US is about 2.97, compared to the UK's rate of .07, that's about 40 times lower. 4) There is an obvious positive-correlation between restrictive gun laws and fewer murders in general, gun-only and otherwise.

  842.  @gsaexperience8578  if it is true that guns save more lives than they take, why is it that the US has the highest rate of murder, and gun-murder in the developed world? Secondly, US has knife murder at a higher rate than the UK. Thirdly, lots of gun people don’t understand the concept of rates. Rates control for population.

  848.  @tomray4139  It’s a fact that Trump Team met secretly, SECRETLY with top Kremlin agents before and after the 2016 Election. They had to frequently update their security clearances because they claimed to keep forgetting these meetings. There was collusion. Secondly Cuomo has done a lot of good and I don’t trust the women accusing Cuomo, I believe they are politically motivated

  854.  @jeffrice4713  firstly, where’s the proof Biden’s evacuation was unplanned? Biden extended the evacuation deadline that Trump set, saying Trump’s deadline was far too short. So Biden made the pullout less disorderly, than if Trump had his way. Secondly, the withdrawal of US troops, which was started by Trump, not Biden, is what permitted the Taliban to take Afghanistan. How orderly or lot the evacuation was wouldn’t change the fact that the US was absent and the Taliban stood unopposed. The fact that Biden was mistaken about the outcomes is not related to anything. The same logic would apply to Trump, and Trump is the one who started the pullout, not Biden You seem to either say that the pullout was bad, but are blaming Biden, despite the fact that Trump pushed for the evacuation initially, and on a more rushed timetable than Biden did. Do you have evidence that if Trump were President Afghanistan would’ve been better? For

  865.  @maryzmijski6087  the murder rates, along with the gun-murder rates, are lower in all other developed nations, due to tough gun control. This is proof that gun control saves lives. It’s a good deal to me.

  885. Biden said US will defend Taiwan. He did not answer what role the US will militarily will play. Lloyd has echoed Biden’s answers, that the long-standing policy has not changed. To come out and say “yes or no” to troop deployment is risky for multiple reasons. If the US gives a statement affirming US troops will deploy to Taiwan and fight a Chinese invasion, then China may call the bluff and attack, which hurts Taiwan and means the US will either loose credibility if it does not respond, or will be forced to fight a bloody war if it does respond. Alternatively, if the US says “no American troops in Taiwan”, this may embolden Chinese claims and rattle Taiwanese, leading to an invasion of Taiwan or Taiwan trading its sovereignty to China to avert an invasion. US interests aren’t helped here either. The solution therefore, is to to speak as Biden and Lloyd have done, which is to reassure Taiwan and deter China with ambiguous messaging. This way China is discouraged from war, and Taiwan averts an invasion. US interests are served.
