Hey that's actually a good idea. Identity politics wants to stop racism, but is racist itself. I should not have to choose a political party based on something I can't decide on. Identity politics is cancer, both on the right and the left.
Nah, that's gotta be Empire. Though some moments were absolutely brilliant, there were some bad scenes or wasted opportunities. Killing off Han Solo for one. I know that would have been controversial, but it would have added more stakes to the story. But the scene where Vader is unmasked was amazing.
From the Lord of the Rings:
Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
Depends in which situation I'd be in. If I was in an I Am Legend scenario, I'd probably sail off on a boat I'd somehow find in a harbor with some supplies, and attempt to reach somewhere with no zombies.
In a Cast Away scenario. I'd build myself a shelter out of bamboo, reeds and twigs, find fresh water and maybe hunt something. I'd also attempt to find a Winston volleyball. Then I would make a smoke signal and wait for a plane or poat to pass by.
"I never said any child would be forced to pray!"
They would be if the State votes for mandatory praying in Public Schools.
"Have you ever heard prayers on national TV during important events?"
Actually no. Yeah, we don't really do that as much in Europe.
"while you do all in your power to censor any mention of God."
Isn't that exactly what you want to do with homosexuals? Censor their very existence from schools? I smell hypocrisy.......I'm fine with religion being discussed in Literature, History or Philosophy classes and the like, as long as it's not taught as doctrine.
"IGNORE!"
Your favourite catchphrase. It really just makes you seem like some butthurt 5-year old. You know don't have to type IGNORE in all caps after your argument, to ignore someone? Maybe just don't reply instead?
If you're a patriot, it essentially means you think your country is superior to the rest. This is almost childish in it's stupidity. I don't hate America. I don't hate Britain. I just don't put those countries above all others, or parade the national flag wherever I go.
I actually think it's the other way round. July 4 parades aren't turning kids into republicans, because they are already. Parades like that are meant for people who have the american flag outside their house and vote for America first. A.k.a Republicans.
America is not a Christian nation, and therefore children should not be forced to pray at a public school, even if the community votes for it. And I will say it again, Homosexuality is only opposed by the far-right and extreme Christians in America. It is largely accepted by most of the public, and children should know that homosexuality is fine.
America is not the far-right stronghold you'd love it to be. If the far-right loses its supporters, America will live on as a better place. It will not just die.
Plastic can be recycled, but sorting the over 50 different types of plastic into different recycling bins, is virtually impossible, and putting all together means it can't be recycled. Why don't you go watch Blue Planet 2, and then see how much plastic harms the ocean and it's ecosystem.
So what would you like the conservatives to do to America. Make Christian teachings obligatory at school? Chemically castrate all homosexuals? You so dearly want to return to a time when everyone was Christian, homosexuals were illegal and thousands of women died in pregnancy. Luckily you're kind are a dying breed, and the younger generations don't share your stubborn ignorance to progress.
So it isn't a solely Muslim ban. This does not change the fact that the ban is still racist and discriminatory. Banning travel for nationals of those countries makes no sense, especially since many of the people affected are good citizens that could provide extra money for the government.
It is, mostly because people getting rich or powerful depends more on who you were born to, than your own merit. Which means we're caught in a cycle where the rich families stay rich, no matter how incompetent, and the poor families stay poor, no matter how hard working. It is rare to find someone from a poor family and neighborhood to become the head of a successful company or become a millionaire.
I don't think so. The examples you listed up there aren't divisive enough for a civil war. And if there was one, I would do anything possible not to fight in it. Call me a coward, but wars are the bane of humanity, and the worst thing that could happen in someone's life.
In terms of technology, it's a three-way battle. Japan, China and Germany are brilliant in this regard. America could be up there too, but it's mostly just Silicon Valley elevating the rest of the country.
Democratically, America sucks. It's 2 party system sucks, it's voting system sucks. It's better than all the countries with dictators, but it lags behind most European countries there.
Culturally, America is very xenophobic and capitalist (Trump embodies most bad American stereotypes perfectly). The nation's mindset as a whole is very selfish, but luckily this is changing for the better. There is no greatest country culturally, because every candidate has been stained one way or another. Germany with Nazism, Japan with imperialism, Spain with extreme Catholicism, etc.
In truth, no country is better than all the rest, because every nation has both good and bad.
Not everyone who doesn't work does so because they're lazy. Many just can't find anything, or don't have the necessary skillset for the available jobs they've rounds. And the government shouldn't discriminate against those that don't work, by not letting them be able to have healthcare. Especially in emergencies, this could be very damaging and potentially life-threatening.
I would definitely make an exception for places like Alaska and others. But in places like Washington DC or New York where everyone has access to supermarkets, it's unnecessary. Hunting as pest control is fine, what I'm against is hunting for sport. What's your opinion on that?
Well, I would think that maybe my thoughts were someone else's thoughts and opinions passed on to me. Also, since my whole notion of who I am would be destroyed, I would probably get very paranoid and come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories and such. But if I was in that situation for real, I don't truly know what I'd do.
