  1. A "mile" high on Spies In The Skies: FBI Planes Are Circling US Cities (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    A mile is a mere 5,280 feet. not really very high for a light plane. Typical cross country flights are in the 8k foot range.

    Even small planes can readily be seen identified at that altitude.

    Altitude is life.

    In the case of communism and socialism, Government IS the economy.

    And just because you don't think Socialism is to blame foe 1200 million dead, doesn't mean those people are any less dead and that socialism/communism wasn't responsible. that's because THEY were not as important as the State's goal of a "worker's paradise".

    You are a fool. You should go live in Venezuela.

    So...you are fine with government deliberately murdering one hundred million because capitalism has supposedly killed more.

    Kodos would be proud.

    Here's the context for you. GOVERNMENT...people with guns, FORCED people to work themselves to death, starved them to death, or murdered them outright. This was done because those people didn't agree with the Government's policies.

    That's all the fucking context you need.

    Seriously?

    100 million dead people and it's just due to "bad apples"?

    Communism and socialism are the same with respect to the things that matter. They make the individual subservient to the group. What's yours is mine. And whatever actions the government has to make in order to maintain that status is justified. That's how you get 100 million dead people.

    Just a few minutes on YouTube browsing videos showing various manufacturing machines and the processes they do suggests that making a machine to cook and build Hamburgers and other fast food orders would be child's play.

    1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder.

    2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.

    3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.

    4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous.

    5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.

    6. Children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke and cancer.

    7. Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBQT – affirming countries.

    8. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.

    I suppose if you reduce the entire US Economy to a Keg Party, you might be right. Alas, it's not.

    But staying with the analogy, some would suggest you stop spending the money collected for beer on stupid party hats and actually spend it on fucking beer. Others would suggest that you pay for the beer you drink. Yet others would say there's enough beer and that BTW, stop buying that premium shit.

    The bottom line is that these people want the government to spend even more money than the $3 trillion it collects in taxes and the $1 trillion it borrows because that fall in line with their political agenda.

    And if their excuse is that they won't step up until everyone does, then their concern for the poor, infrastructure, etc. rings hollow.
