Sure there is. How do you think the Tamil Tiger rebels aren't a problem any more? Or Japanese militarists? Or Nazis? Or Communists for that matter, the Cold War was still a war.
BTW the Communists had a plan to win the Cold War too, one that included launching every nuke in their inventory in the first hour of the war. Never a word about that one, it's one of those there inconvenient truths.
I love how you totally ignore the fact that they lied their asses off about Obamacare because they knew we'd never agree to it. We have to pass it and THEN find out what's in it. Oh, it's full of lies...what a surprise!
Not a big surprise you're agreeing with nutbag extremists. Take axes to GPS satellites, that'll show them! This is why left-wing ideas sound so bizarre to people outside the bubble.
More doom & gloom from the 'no perspective' crowd. It's all words, it's what doom & gloom wishes were true.
If it were actually this bad, people would be mass emigrating to other countries. This is what happens in other countries that are actual cesspools instead of imaginary cesspools. Where do they come? America, yup. If they can get it. Funny enough, it's a pain in the ass to do it legally.
Sales is like magnetism, it's a natural force of the universe. Wrap some wire around a magnet, spin, and you've got electricity. Same thing with sales: take any product no matter how absurd, add professionals and boom, you've got a company with millions in revenue per year.
Living a promiscuous lifestyle, taking drugs, and engaging in gay sex were precisely the things that made AIDS the disease it is today, instead of some obscure virus. That's how the virus was transmitted, dirty needles or unprotected anal sex.
That's because you have a secure future. The people who buy lottery tickets...don't. A couple of bucks to buy some hope in a grey life? That's what they're buying. Why not?
But let's all remember it's socially acceptable to shit all over less-intelligent human beings, in fact to deny their humanity altogether. Because what else do we say about people who buy lottery tickets, or shop at Wal-Mart?
Cognitive dissonance? Those two missions aren't mutually exclusive. Defend yourself at home and go on offense abroad. It's a classic mission time-tested by history, and it has plenty of counterparts in sports metaphors. Simply asserting that something is mutually contradictory because it sounds good to use words like 'cognitive dissonance' isn't any kind of argument.
Taking on the 1938 German army would have been a relative cakewalk. The problem with Dunkirk (wasn't that a great victory?) is that the British stayed on the defensive, and by definition it's impossible to win whilst playing defense.
Add the Czechs and their surprisingly good army, and the Little Maginot Line (the Germans tested the fortifications after invading and found them shockingly sound) , and 1938 Germany has big problems. Its army gets bogged down in Czechoslovakia while the British drive for Berlin.
People always bring up this "educated, balanced" riposte to Chamberlain's infamous act. It's bullshit. Let's put the dagger in the back of this theory once and for all: you know who Chamberlain saw fit NOT to invite to the Munich conference? The Czechs! He gave them the middle finger and handed them a fait accompli. Don't even get me started about the great betrayal of Poland, a nation Britain was pledged to defend and yet did fuck-all to help. Fuck Chamberlain and fuck appeasement.

At least Star Trek solved the "endless assloads of free money from somewhere" problem that is endemic to socialism. On Earth in 2015, the rub is that eventually, you run out of other people's money. With replicators and antimatter energy, that's not an inconvenient truth any more.
Jeez, where did that come from? Did a football player rape you or something? You need to call the cops, or at least a counselor. Oh, and move to France, they have intellectuals on TV that debate topics. I think you're just in the wrong country and need to leave.
There are whole huge swathes of blogspot.com that are tranny porn and the like. Not surprised they claimed it as 'identity' or whatever. I mean, their entire identity is sexual. I like sex too but damn it doesn't define me as a person. We all have other interests outside the ol' bedroom. How'd we get into Google fiber?
Nobody wants to see old wrinkled women on the big screen. Even old wrinkled women. Hollywood caters to a global audience these days, and the feelings of western leftists aren't really relevant any more. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

What should you do with people whose belief systems you cannot stand? Tolerate them? Or ostracize them?
Isn't it easier when the intolerable beliefs are all on your side? Then you can insist that others accept you, while feeling self-righteous all the time. However, the moment that someone else barges into your kumbaya scene, you feel not the least bit tolerant towards their opinions. Funny how that works, isn't it?
Anyone who ever wondered how good people can support tyranny, bookmark this comment. A healthy helping of ignorance combined with unshakable faith that those other people are wrong.
Learning is an essential part of reading. Failing to comprehend, or worse, guessing at a meaning and guessing wrong, does yourself a disservice. Story? Who even said we're reading fiction?
Are we completely ignoring the fact that the Pakistan government has encouraged Islamism in its territory since Prime Minister Bhutto in the 1970s? It's America's fault now?
At this point, as US citizen, I'm much more concerned about what the US government does both abroad and at home (including stuff like supporting a repressive Saudi Arabia, other actions abroad that make terrorist blowback more likely, domestic cage-like "free speech zones", domestic rulings saying border patrols can operate in a constitution-ignoring way up to 100 miles inland, etc.)
You right-wing fuckbags are always calling for less government. Guess what? Nobody fucking cares about your precious constitution. Your opposition to Obama is just racism. America is going to change and you're not going to like it one bit. Get used to it.

You might as well say that the KKK has a point. They're on the same side of the argument, just a bit different. The crazy is strong with both of them.
