Most actually do, they're just afraid of the word "socialism". Tell one of them that and it's like their brain temporarily shuts off, they'll do whatever you tell them to and more importantly vote for

It's not worth the dead people it creates. Plenty of other ways (and firearms) to have fun with, I prefer bolt action rifles. We just need people to respect guns as tools and not toys. But too many dumb fucks see it as a part of their national identity so teaching your kid how to shoot is fun instead of strict and educational, that's how mistakes happen
2
@Adam.G.Trapper You didn't deny what I said... are you actually from Lviv? I know many Belarusians, but none blame Putin, only Lukashenko.
2
@Adam.G.Trapper Yes, you're definitely from Lvov. Stop pretending to be Belarisian
2
@Adam.G.Trapper Go back home, малороссиянин

@Bryant Nelson On a day-to-day basis, given her long work hours, it's possible she simply didn't have the time to budget for 10 years down the line. Or figure out how to get an education with no discretionary budget whatsoever. Many people, sad to say, are trapped. "You have to spend money to make money"? Sounds great, if you've got the money to take risks. One slip-up when you're poor, and you're out on the streets. Not as easy as "try harder."
2
you know I am right pp Yeah, but there isn't anything like that yet. Men's vasectomies are completely permanent, so it doesn't make sense to do that for them. Women's biology also makes birth control easier— you just trick the body into thinking it's pregnant (which is what the pill does). There is no male equivalent, so a pill would need to un-naturally stop sperm production. Problem is the only solutions so far have just suppressed sperm production altogether which basically chemically castrates anyone who takes it (testosterone is vital not just for sex drive but also normal function). So we're kind of stuck. It isn't as easy as "why do only women have to take birth control?"
2
Hugh Mungus No, we hate that too.
2
@carpo719 I think if the virus can be isolated and given to chunks of the population at a time, it might work. But letting everybody get sick at once is a bad idea
2
@Setwhattt After hearing his argument, I understand, but that still doesn't make it right.
2
Nope, remember the conservatives ruled California before the liberals. They're the ones who banned Natives from doing controlled burning, and now the fires are out of hand, just in another government's hands.
2
Lot's daughters comes to mind, or God's command to the Israelites to "keep the young girls for yourselves" after slaughtering the Canaanite men, women, and boys.
2
IronskullGM Their friends are dead. They're being coached by their emotions. For that matter, so are the gun rights people. Only difference, the kids are guided by hope (for change) and the gun enthusiasts are guided by fear (of change). I'd personally prefer a country with no guns than a country with guns, and no rules to protect people.

@Shenzhou. I don't doubt that, but China's intentions are different. Violence has been there for decades, yet they only add the wired fences now. This region is very important to China as a buffer against India, and the Communist Party fears it will side with India and/or surrounding Muslim countries. After all, it has only been a part of China since the Communist Party formed. Thats not very long in the span of history. They don't actually care about safety for the people there. It's about a buffer zone with India, as well as the mineral resources in the area. And the loyalty to China will be easy, when the population is replaced by Han Chinese, or by Uighurs who are culturally Han. It's all money and power.
2
@Shenzhou. It's a simple explanation, but not a good one. Your answer only told me how the barbed wire was put there, not why it was only recently installed when the government started to discourage practices like keeping a beard and speaking the Uighur language, which has nothing to do with Islam. They say it is to combat extremism, but if it really was, they'd just discourage religion, not try to destroy their entire culture and replace it with Han. And yes, I'm aware of the history of the area, but it has been independent from China for much, much longer. Only during the Ching Dynasty was the entire area occupied. Before that, China had no control over the region, only the east. Why can't they be left alone? They don't even travel to the Han portion of China, they live in the desert and could easily be contained there. Why are you bothering them?

@ethan20559 Even bigger brain is actually thinking this is what socialism is
2
@Wakkks I mean, many problems are unique to either system, so I wouldn't say it's just values. Capitalists donate that money either to enrich themselves further (tax writeoffs), lobby (which is itself corruption too), and to top it all off donations don't help. They cripple domestic and local capacity to help the communities they're placed in. But fostering competition is bad for profits within a capitalist framework so of course they'll donate instead of letting those places in need develop their own goods and services. Capitalism is just feudalism waiting to happen. Most of what we buy is already owned by 4 or 5 companies anyway.
2
@ethan20559 "If they couldn't get it right" You're acting like it was the best shot socialism had. Every "attempt" so far has been out of sync with what Communists wanted. Marx never even intended for a revolution in Russia, arguing that they could have just skipped ahead to a utopia of living off the fertile Russian land. China had the same situation— desperation among the poor will never produce a stable transition. Neither society had a large enough working class to successfully create a nation of workers— all their resources went to rapidly industrial using or fighting world wars, Marx expected Communist nations to already have that done. I don't think it will ever happen, but a true cause study for whether communism can work would have to be in a place where manufacturing is a large chunk of the economy. Not farming, not services.
2
@gailism These kids aren't in court. And lawyers don't all argue the same position. They're taught how to argue, not what to argue, silly.
2
@zephead843 That pension varies by state. Illinois is famously generous. Other states, not so much. Besides, that's simply not true. As benefits go down, fewer people enter the field. That's why so many women from the Philippines have been hired to teach in the South, in recent years. There's a shortage of American teachers, and you don't seem to understand why.
2
@mainnevent515 Problem is, being old, emotional and delusional, they'll hip-hop between the arguments that A) Invasion is a good thing because Israel is doing it, so they're "not hypocrites" if they also support the settlement of America and B) Invasion is a bad thing because the Israelites were chased out of their "homeland" by the Arabs, therefore the Arabs shouldn't be there. (At this point, of course, completely ignoring what they just said with A) It's all very convenient to their worldview, wouldn't you say?
2
@thetruthchannel349 "History happens" "Nations come and nations go" Then stop supporting Israel. History has happened, the Arabs won, so stop pretending like you're not invested in it. You want Israel given back, so by your own logic you have to give the United States back to its native population. Don't wanna do that? Then stop giving money to Israel. You can't have it both ways. Pick.
2
@Michellle Foucault XVI I hesitate to believe someone who unironically says Negro. Makes me think your intentions aren't what you're presenting them to be. Link to the Cherokee Nation's statement/population records that demonstrate this mass expulsion?
2
Blazing Nipples Right, but all of what you said is a perfect reason NOT to be an incel. These guys just don't want to work out or improve themselves because they don't think it'll improve their chances (when it will). Yeah there are gymcels, but I think most of these guys' hangup is mental and they lack a sense of control in their lives.
2
@matthalstead7933 Then why point out that something's illegal? Isn't the point of law to solve problems?
2
Not gonna work. Companies and wealthy individuals already divert their taxes offshore, by listing their profits under shell companies. Raising taxes will only encourage more rich people to do the same. There needs to be international cooperation to prevent them from dodging taxes. (Since many funnel their taxes through Ireland, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda.) Put a stop to that, and we've got progress. Otherwise, the rich will continue to hoarde.
2
@cL-bf2ug Sorry, but keeping a child with an abusive father and an unready mother is a disaster waiting to happen. You're not saving one life, you're ruining two.
2
@petef.4361 Doesn't exist. And that's not a legally defensible argument for abortion. Congress shall make no Law respecting the Establishment of a Religion... sound familiar? According to the Constitution, no Creator can ever be considered when making a law. Treat Him like He doesn't exist- which is true anyway.
2
@LeahBeth_1997 At conception, the egg is fertilized and the respective DNA of sperm and egg combine to create a new sequence, at which point the sex of the eventual child is determined— the egg will then begin subdividing before implanting itself into the uterus. Where exactly do you see "human life" here? This is typical microbiology. No different from any other cell. And you're right— facts don't care about your feelings. So tell me about how I'm a monster for dehumanizing a "baby", instead of just explaining why you think a clump of cells, which our bodies destroy millions of every second, is somehow human.
2
C caymer Marsailles' ghettoes don't hold a candle to these dumps. Even they have some sewage systems. The U.S. has deluded itself into believing that individuals can pave their own way and do absolutely anything on their own— hence the refusal to help the poor. At least in France it's understood that poverty is a cycle that's only broken from the outside, or with pure luck.
2
@blackdog1153 Because Chinese Christians are still Han Chinese. The Uighurs are an entirely different culture. Not only are they changing their religion, they're erasing their identity as a people. That's much more extreme, and it's being carried out on a much larger scale than with any other religion in China (except maybe Buddhism, but Free Tibet has a lot of attention already).
2
@CatOMattic Schools still have a mass shooting problem lmao, write paragraphs all you want No other country has this issue, even Switzerland which is armed to the teeth has better lives than Americans. Also no one mentioned blacks, but you jumped straight to it... sounds like someone's got some issues to work through
2
@Hunching-z8q They don't work 9 months of the year. How stupid are you? Add up the classes they take to learn new teaching methods, the time they spend teaching summer school, the time they spend creating a new curriculum each year, and the time they spend grading for hours after school each day, and the amount of work they actually do puts them in the $30-40K range. Hardly good for a salaried position. Not to mention they're expected to pay out of pocket for anything beyond what they get the first day. So, new supplies? Dry erase markers run out? Whiteboard scratch up? Bulletin boards break? Electric sharpener broke? Kids don't have clothes? Your school doesn't participate in free lunch, and the parents are poor, too? Pay up.

@demilovesjesus The "baby" has no neurons to speak of (if it's being aborted, at least in the U.S., that is the cutoff mark). It doesn't feel pain because it can't- it's not alive. And if allowed to develop, it will turn into a baby, but why force the mother to give the child a life that (s)he didn't ask for- often no father in the picture, no money to raise him/her, no experience- why force somebody (which is a violation of rights) to carry to term an organism that isn't alive yet and can be morally expelled from the body? A mother will love her son or daughter anyway, so why not allow her to get rid of her rapists' baby and have a child, later on, with someone she loves and while she can afford it?
2
@ThePhilstore You can catch the disease no matter what you take. The determining factor of whether you survive it isn't vitamins (which don't work btw, they're only to be taken if you're deficient in a vitamin- they don't "boost" anything); the most important factor is age and general health (weight, diet, physical activity).
2
@Ezm42069 Lmao can we borrow some and bring them north?
2
@Peter A. You've hit the nail on the head, which is why we can't take a position on God, or (at best) assume he just doesn't exist. By nature of being supernatural, no religious person can prove a god's/goddesses' existence- (s)he transcends the means by which we can prove anything, so to assert that "there is a god" is an unfalsifiable statement. And since the natural world presents us with huge numbers of design mistakes, cruelty, and internal consistency (no breaking of natural laws), there is no reason to believe that any sort of agency is behind the universe. Not to mention religious stories' strange conformity to the geographical location and human knowledge they were formed in, almost as if humans, and not a deity, made them up..

This is the alt-right calling card, don't you know? Ever seen interviews with flat-earthers? Or Evangelicals? They're always disingenuous- frame it as "oh, just a bunch of folks like you, hanging out, golly!" They hide the agenda part of their meeting as much as possible, and try to turn it into "just a cool event for freethinkers like yourselves! Aaand if we come to some political conclusions, then that's just how things turned out!" If people understood the end-goal of alt-right discord servers, or chat rooms, or livestreams, etc., they might not be so eager to join. Understanding that you're being played to the benefit of some fat, rich fuck's wallet, makes "the new counterculture," a lot less rebellious.
2
Mike Salka Simple. Implement a policy wherein business can't be done without paying taxes (i.e. registering the company or any company responsible for its revenue outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., bar them from the country.)
2
This is the same I've heard- I'm working with Ukrainians right now, and the dominant idea is "let's all just be people- not Russian, Ukrainian, but just person to person." It's a perspective I admire and agree with. Though the conflict was started by Crimea's seizure, I do think a compromise must be reached. The fighting needs to stop
2
Two things to consider: government money paid for these roads in the first place, in the 1940's. Also, eventually the roads would turn into a bumpy patchwork and someone would need to repave. Companies could do it, but only for the places that can afford it. So what will the poor neighborhoods do, without tithe government stepping in every once in awhile?

@aleksilepisto7282 Whether or not its going to run out is not the main concern— it's whether the planet will survive. The particles that oil and gas fumes let into the air trap heat (because they're bigger than oxygen and hydrogen molecules) and warm up whatever they're covering. That thing they're covering is the whole world. The American Southeast in particular will become uninhabitable (too hot and dry for any humans' natural ability to sweat to resist heat stroke, somewhere ~127° F) long before 2070. You either switch to nuclear, or you're going to lose access to the places with oil long before you can extract all of it. Most of the US will become unlivable (maybe you could live in the lower 48, but most of the land wouldn't be arable anymore). Russia, Canada, and Scandinavia would see the most benefit. So I don't underhand why America insists on warming the atmosphere.

@Adam.G.Trapper I really don't think you're from Belarus. You called Russians Mongols in another comment... I think you're from Kyiv.
2
@a3b36a04 I think so. It seems (I suspect) Ukraine has learned how to make troll farms from the Russians.
2
@Adam.G.Trapper And I know Russia is corrupt— what does this have to do with Belarus' elections? Вы говорили про экономику, не про политику.
2
Gitali Jetli People have been saying that for hundreds of years lol still waiting for it to happen
2
@MrMediator24 Many historical factors. Much easier to develop internally if you have no external conflicts, and advantageous geography and circumstances.
2
@snowhole2625 Tibet as a nation won't exist. The Han Chinese are settling there and trying to intermarry, to wipe their culture off the Earth.
2
@Amidat Lie? This is a matter of sources. The Tibet Central Administration says that the most current number of Tibetans (about 5.3 million, as of a years ago) is lower than it was in 1959, at 6 million. Meanwhile the Chinese government says that there were only 2.9 million people at that time, and the population has increased. But of course the Chinese would say that- their interest is in keeping Tibet as their territory. Why would their answer be anything different? The number of tourists coming to Tibet is more than its entire population, and Chinese migration to Tibet has increased dramatically in the last few decades.
2
@Amidat No. That's demonstrably wrong. ~90% of the Native American opposition was wiped out by smallpox, influenza, and the plague. It spread faster than the Spaniards or English ever could. The Natives that survived, however, were forcibly integrated, and the scar on the United States' history will never heal. China should not allow itself the same fate. It knows better, not to do something so barbaric. And yet, Han are encouraged to settle in West China, to outbreed and integrate Tibetans and Uighurs.
