Of course. Did this surprise you?
Stephen Colbert is not a "news" show but a comedy. That's why it is on Comedy Central.
However, the media likes to treat him as a "news" channel and draws from his show and place it into theirs. I've seen it.
Yes, the world must be coming of it's axis.
Even though my gut wants a general knowledge test requirement, it's against the principals of the United States to require such a thing. I believe a general knowledge test about the candidate(s) would "enlightened" people a bit.
Funny story. This one guy was taking a video of him in the voting booth. You could tell he was a millennial and pretty liberal. Anyways, he picks Hillary Clinton and then goes, "oh... Well, her name sounds pretty" and proceeds to vote for someone that he doesn't know.
As Winston Churchill said, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter".
Status Quo.
First of all, Russia, China, US, Pakistan, India, etc will not give up their nuclear armory completely, period.
Secondly, nuclear weapons have stopped more wars than start them. The obvious downside of this is that if two of these nations go to war, they can be faced with the possibility of a nuclear war.
In a perfect world, nuclear weapons would be outlawed. But then so would war and we wouldn't need them in the first place.
It is the women in India decision to either move forward or stay back.
What a lot of people don't understand is some women are completely okay with this. Some women like not being responsible for multiple things like men.
The women in the US (if that's what your referring to) and most of the Western World are equal rights as men. Therefore, they don't need empowerment.
They have it.
"stay woke."
I didn't know what this word meant until I watched Dear White People.
Who in Sam's hell would say this? Not only is crude English, it also makes you sound like a toddler especially since she is a member of Congress.
She has been in way too long. Time to introduce term limits.
This is why we must keep English class mandatory throughout high school. My English isn't perfect, but I can place words together to make a sentence.
Well it's just me thinking. I mean, they show dramatic TV shows (or use to. I think they ditched the idea a short while ago) about the weather. Then, whenever they have an intro it plays videos of the worse weather you can see with dramatic music in the back ground etc.
I don't know much about the Fermi Paradox and therefore I really can't debate it sadly.
However, I will add something. As said above, we are just now discovering other exoplanets. Planets in which we can't see, even with our technology. On top of that, they are light years away. In the end we really don't know.
Just food for thought.
I'm not disagreeing with what you say, but just a heads up. Bill Nye isn't a "real" scientist. He is... or was... a mechanical engineer. He has no other "certification" backing him.
On another note, I do believe he is a very intelligent man. Even though I disagree with him a lot.
I wouldn't go as far as saying that Islam is, "good". But not all Muslims want a bloodbath. In fact, the majority of them would probably like to be left alone.
Despite our differences all around, we are going have to warm up to them some time. Vice versa. Otherwise we will just keep going around in this circle. The first place to start is to eradicate radical Islamic terror. And we will need them to help us on that.
That's my two cents.
Not surprising. Everyday, I actually start to believe regressives have a metal disorder.
Yes, BLM, also who credits a terrorist for their founding, is delusional. At almost every major BLM protest, it has been followed by violence against police and regular citizens. BLM doesn't know what law and order is due to the fact they have never shown it.
You couldn't pay me to listen to this woman.
I believe the owner should have free reign over their business within reason. I also think a business owner has the right to choose who he or she wishes to serve. That is my personal belief but I also believe government does play a role in all of it. A minor role, but a role never the less.
The term, democracy, means that the people vote for a person to govern them. A Republic is a system in which people are governed.
Our system works (or suppose to) like this.
We elect representatives from our district to represent us, The People. The Senate acts the same way, but over a state instead of a district. This was suppose to help keep the balance of state and federal laws. It gives everyone a voice, even the people living in hick town.
So the US is a democracy cause the people vote for people to govern them. Though, the system we use is a republican system.
That's why they sometimes say the US is a, "Democratic Republic".
Yes. If we didn't dropped the atomic bomb(s) on Japan, then we would have had to invade Japan by land, sea, and air in which would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not million(s).
And as one said above, you can be damned sure if Germany or Japan had their hands on those weapons, they would have done the same thing.
Well, depends what you mean and in what context.
I think it is somewhat the other way around now. Personally, when someone tells me they are a Christian, I try to look for faults to see if they might take advantage of me later on. I become cynical of them. The only reason why is because the vast majority of Christians I ran into are no different from you or me. There are very few and far between of those Christians that live a Christian life style.
I think today its more neutral than anything. Back in the day, however, if you were not a Christian, you were probably one of the few.
Well, I haven't drunk either in along time. But when I was a kid, Coke was my milk and honey. I'm surprised I never had cavities from all the coke I drank.
Although, I do like a Pepsi now and then. It gives a different kind of, "kick" when you've been drinking coke for so long.
Stalin killed 10 million of his own people. Let's not forget that the Soviets suffered a famine back in 1932 that killed even more. Even Russians consider Stalin an evil man. This guy made Hitler look like child's play. He also decimated the majority of Russian leadership across the board, including the military which bore a heavy cost in WW2.
He done the crime, I think he should do the time. If I'm not mistaken, two soldiers, who had their whole life ahead of them, died searching for him. They lost their lives forever.
And they have the guts to say he lost 12 years of his life?
They're nuts.
I know they are lawyers and it's their job to get him off the hook, but common sense really says otherwise. This guy walked off his post ON PURPOSE.
I don't think he committed treason like some would say, but he did go AWOL and he should be punished for his crime.
When we criticize the left, we don't really mean literally that we believe you love Muslims. What we are trying to get at is the left seems to be willing to bring them from countries with a history of radical Islamic terrorism (Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc.) and consider them, "refugees".
The truth of the matter is this.
1. 75 percent of the refugees in Europe are young men.
2. Over half come from Syria, a country that's in a war with multiple parties. Including ISIS.
3. Since Sweden issued an open door policy, the crime rate has increased over 300 percent and 1 in 4 women in Sweden will be raped by what the statistics show.
4. And now there are cities in Europe with an "off limits" area that are filled with Muslims who refuse to acclimate to their new countries' culture.
5. Terrorist attacks have happened across Europe for that past decade, the majority which were caused by radical Islamic terrorist.
6. Over 500 people have been killed since 2004 from radical Islamic terrorism
....and I could go on and on.
I really like Ben Shapiro. I don't agree with him on everything, but he makes really great points in words that I can't.
I didn't know you could get fined for mislabeling a person. I've accidently called women sirs before and I can't believe they would fine you for that. What should you say? "Yes, human"?
Being a regressive is sick.
