Yea, the US gets a lot of blame for the whole puppet government thing. But you know what? Sectarianism has existed for far, far longer than the US has. As for the coalitions.. they went in to bust up terrorist breeding grounds, to stop genocides, to try and get democracy to take hold. Some of it was misguided, sure. We can't fix that now. As for colonization, what are you smoking? No one is setting up colonies in those places. What new American, British, or French flagged colonies popped up as a result of the coalition's activities? None.
I think you're horribly wrong by suggesting that modern nations are responsible for this. Those aren't our chickens coming home to roost. Sectarian violence has always been a thing in the parts of the world that are fueling this fire. The mistake we made was letting "refugees" migrate to our countries. Now it's those refugees or the spawn of those refugees carrying out these small scale attacks. They come to our countries and bring their baggage with them. Anyone who doesn't believe what they believe must die. And now we've brought them inside our borders. That's reality. Letting this go on for decades with the hope that things will get better with no plan would be even more of a disaster. We're going to get to the point were everyday people refuse to put up with this anymore to the point where they defy our governments and then all hell is going to break loose. We don't have decades. Maybe the US does, but large parts of Europe do not. Censoring dissent on Twitter is going to change that.
We'll just add to the captcha.. check the box if you're a terrorist. Easy peasy.
If the geniuses that lead our countries would just look in the mirror once in a while they might understand the problem. We let people in to our countries and they end up attacking us. The governments have already failed to vet these people. What the hell are internet companies supposed to do? Twitter is going to run a deep background check on every new account? Nope. Going to blockade certain countries? Well.. Trump tried something like that. Courts didn't like it. Closed borders? In Europe, that died with Le Pen's failure to win. So what now? Turn off the internet and hope the attacks stop? Doesn't sound like a winning plan.
Sounds similar to companies using goats to clear overgrowth. The power companies do that occasionally for areas that are too difficult to clear by machine.
Living on the shoreline is a luxury that most in the US don't have, yet the pricks that are able to expect everyone else to bail them out when the ocean tries to claim the shore. It's the people on the shoreline that are the "got mine, fuck everyone else" types.
I call it stealing because they take it automatically from our checks. You can't protest by refusing to pay because they've already taken it. We don't pay, they take without permission.
If the feds weren't stealing the money out of our paychecks, the states and towns could tax more to pay for the upkeep themselves. The feds use this money to force states to comply with decisions beyond the authority of the federal government. It's corruption, and it should stop.
So everyone that thinks a lot of what the government does is bad is a sociopath?
I don't want to have to pay to irrigate the desert nor do I want to pay to rescue landowners on the shoreline. I never had the benefit of a shoreline view, therefore why should I be taxed to pay for those that do? If you want to turn all those lands into public beaches, maybe. Why do people living in livable areas of the country need to pay for those geniuses that choose to live in otherwise uninhabitable areas?
I don't see why their place of birth matters. I don't live in the same state I was born in, and I didn't need a federal bailout to move. How pathetic are people that the government has to solve all their problems?
As for Syria, we should not be relocating them either. They need to get their government under control.
Why should the rest of the country pay to relocate people who chose to be near the ocean? That isn't a federal issue, that's for the state or local governments to figure out.
You're proving my point in a way. Climate change shouldn't be politicized but one side is very wrong and the other not helpful. It's a polite way of calling the ones you don't agree with flat-earthers or idiots or too stupid to be trusted to vote. You have the side you agree with, the other side is wrong.
It's what we do as humans. It's why the middle east will never have peace. It's why gun control is foolish, there are plenty of other ways to kill each other. In order to move forward, we need to accept that we will never agree on certain things and figure out a way to coexist knowing that. Safe spaces aren't a solution. Political parties aren't. War isn't. Unless we can find a way to live with our differences, we'll continue spiraling out of control until we've doomed ourselves.
Some topics are to the point where there are no minds to change or anything new to learn. Abortion is one of these. You either believe it's murder or you don't. Does anyone think there's learning left to be done or minds left to change? Open borders is another. You're either idealistic and don't want to hear about the drawbacks or you see the drawbacks and don't want to hear about the idealism. Is there learning to be had? Not really. Minds to change? Unlikely. That's why we're stuck in a two party shit fest. The left gets in and we get that set of policies. The right gets in and we get the other set. Back and forth. Name calling is really the only thing left. Everyone knows the talking points. You can have the debates in your head without needing an actual debate. I see no solution unless we were willing to divide the nation in half and put the left on the left and the right on the right.
No, there is no circumvention. They're pulling the pages from a system easily identifiable as Google, and they're pulling the pages from anonymous systems the same exact way any one of us would. If those anonymous pulls violate the TOS, then no one without a preexisting relationship with their site would be able to use their site.

Good luck. The others tend to be out of stock or pulled from the market due to dosage problems.
Yes. I am fully on board with the new regime and all their wonderful ideas. Today is a great day, and tomorrow will be even better.

Go back to your safe space, wounded snowflake.
There is no "speech they shouldn't allow" if we're adhering to the principles of free speech. It's a pretty simple concept.

She's the new Sandra Fluke.
Did you read the summary?
Which is why the TI-85 was better than the TI-81. You could fake the reset screen perfectly.
Was it illegal when Obama banned people from the same list of countries?
Sounds similar to companies using goats to clear overgrowth. The power companies do that occasionally for areas that are too difficult to clear by machine.
For the cyka blyat!
Why would the government want to ban its own surveillance program?
They can always enjoy a career of writing batch files.
You're not paid by time if you're salaried. You're paid for performance.

Sometimes no idea is better than a bad idea. Stupidity like carbon credits hurt any credibility that "climate change" might have had.
