Oh, please. You do understand that groups like the Taliban actually kill teachers and burn down schools because they are providing free education,
are you aware that, you are taking a hellhole of a situation, which had come to being by u.s. funding islamist groups to do its bidding for around 2 decades, as the example to analyze ?
these people are advocating people to kill and die in wars created for profit of a few corporations. OTHER people.
things go 100% in the other direction, when they themselves are put into the same position.
its not a concept of accomplishment - its a matter of reciprocity. if its good for them to advocate others to die and kill, they should also have no problem with doing it themselves.
not 6500. basically around 1500 BC and on. at most, 2000 BC. incidentally, these are the dates at which 'there is one god, one religion, believe me' shit first come to being.
embers being existing, does not justify, rationalize or reduce the importance of pumping up funds to radical islamist groups with full force. how much radical islamism activity was there, and afflicted what parts of the world circa 1750 ? huh ? nowhere ? basically they were just out of the picture by then. and then in 19th century they suddenly came back into picture. why ? thanks to british and their stupid policy.
learn history first. of course there occurs dissent when you have famine, war, shit. what you call 'stalin' is a period in between the late stages of the revolution chaos and late stages of world war ii. THE most horrible period that ussr has had passed through.
stalin died before 1950. where was dissent in 1960 ? where was dissent in 1970 ?
let me tell you where it was - because there were now apartments, food, education, universities, the dissent had stopped.
not to mention most of the dissent was pertaining to ethnicity - in world war ii, they relaxed nationalism, and allowed nationalism to have some space, and all those dissenters united against the common enemy - nazis. and chechen ? are you aware that its another ETHNIC problem ? where are the russian terrorists ? where are ukrainian terrorists ? hell, where are sibir terrorists or ancestral finnish terrorists ?
very wise of you - and short sighted - you know about gulag, you know about GERMAN speaking population in byelorussia, but your mind did not wander from there, asking 'why', and how. it just stopped there. basically, you know bits about history, but not enough to create a continuing timeline in your head and see what happened at what point, why, and led to what point.
all the rationalizations and justifications for the invasions of germany were based on pre- ww1 and ww1 griveances. politically, it was hard to counter.
even while invading poland, germany was using the german minority in danzig area (gdansk) as an excuse. (not too much a minority actually, 200k or so people).
and, leave aside the international community, germans even didnt know what was being done to jews in internment camps. actually, germans even didnt know what was being done to GERMANS, despite nazi govt. have been rounding up and killing disabled, 'undesired', mentally ill etc in rural 'hospitals' since mid 1930s already.
noone stood by. world war ii started. and more than 45 million people died, most of which is unaccounted for.
however, putting a bullet to his brain would fix problems for both the grandparent poster, and the world. if all such people put bullets to their brains, we wouldnt have neither terrorism, nor war, nor corporate greed - none of the problems on this planet in the first place, with a little exaggeration.
like 'if pissing on enemy will allow them to go on next offensive so be it' or, 'carpet bombing worked'.......
im wondering, how many of these idiots, have actually done real military service ? do they think they know shit about war, military, and how it unfolds ?
no.
people who are comfortable behind armchairs, doing nothing but blabber.
i'd advise you to take at least one tour of duty to support a war that is started to further corporate interests, and lose an arm or a leg, and THEN talk.
what ?!?! you dont want to do that ?!! but why !?!
do NOT support atrocity-committing dictators into power in other countries for the sake of a few corporations' self-interests, dont get hated. simple. VERY simple.
it only becomes complex when you are allowed yourself to be brainwashed by the propaganda arms of those corporations (Called media). and america has been doing it for around a century, only to be disrupted by the thing we call internet, which allows real information to be accessible.
but hey - they are fixing that too ! they are giving you soap.... sorry, sopa to fix that problem. not that things like fox news channels et al were not around to allow people to stupefy themselves into the mindset of 50 years ago either...... but they will fix everything - dont worry. they even fixed habeas corpus recently !!!
In WWII, we carpet bombed cities - entire cities and nations got to feel - first hand - how horrible war was. The result? The citizens would take life and politics seriously. You don't want to elect the wrong leader because YOU could be killed.
no such thing happened. fucking idiot. europe has come to become civil because of what was done to the minorities by nazis, and the results of the imperialism that was practiced by great britain, germany, france et al, leading up to hostilities and war. thats why you dont have warmongering pieces of shit like you in europe anymore.
also, next time, if you dont know enough about something, just shut the fuck up. carpet bombing did NOTHING in ww ii. tank, aircraft production went unabashed, and all those bombed people went to work in those underground factories to produce more of them despite 200,000 of them died in one night in dresden. all that carpet bombing done was to show the utter stupidity of allied air command, the morondom of harris and similar.
next time you are going to talk about something, learn about it first.
The civilian population - which previously had been ready to sacrifice themselves when the Allies invaded were basically shocked into submission.
so it is not because by the end of the war, atrocities japanese had committed had become something common, and now very well known, but, because they were carped bombed into submission, they surrendered.
really. get a fucking clue. a world war ii downed FLYER says carpet bombing works, and you believe it. you could as well listen to marshall harris.
what did carpet bombing do in europe ? NOTHING. nothing. nothing other than razing entire cities and killing irrelevant civilians, whereas slave labor continued manufacturing tanks, warplanes in underground bunkers.
people who dont know enough about military history, should not talk about it.
what happened ? world war ii. you think the entire world will just stand by, watching you 'put bullets into everyone's brains' ?
fucktards are you the first people that need bullets into their brains. because people like you usher in world wars. since noone wants to go back to poking around with wooden spears again, i suggest you put a bullet into your head, and get it over with for yourself.
yes, 9/11 would never happened if u.s.w as not involved in middle east since mid 1930s, totally taking over the empire building policy of britain by nurturing and using radical islamist clans or organizations as a tool of power.
terrorism do not occur when all people are given a house, have food to eat, and free education to walk into their future. you need little repression on top of that to keep everything in line. thats why there was no terrorism in ussr. your future is guaranteed in every way - why bomb here and there...
i skimmed the comments, and over 50% of the comments are americans finding excuses or rationalizing homelessness.
tells a lot about why that country is in that knee deep shit as it is.
there is a hole in the roof of the house, half of household is getting wet, but the other half is making excuses and rationalizations about how hole will be magically self-fixed, or how there are holes in other roofs too, or how getting wet incentivizes people to 'work', or how the people getting wet in a fucking house with a hole in its roof are 'lazy'. its your fucking house.
let me tell you : this is stupid. escapist. lazy. self-centered. and will eventually bite YOU in your ass, which deserves it soo much.
just stop making up fucking excuses will you. when will be the time in which you will finally realize that this is a problem that is created by your system's artificial scarcity amidst all that wealth, and not something related to any excuse.
read what someone posted just before you. before coming up like, an idiot.
Yes, let's try to explain it again to you... And Norway is the perfect example.
You see, the people who are homeless in Norway are either; people who don't want a home (serious drug addicts, crazy people, etc) or people who are 'tourists' (gypsies, etc, that come to beg and/or steal).
Anyone who wants a home gets one. Every. Single. One.
Might not be the best of residences, and often you spend time in temporary dormitories and such until they find something more permanent. Even the worst of heroin addicts can get a place to live, only thing is many don't want the help. The other group, those who are here on tourist visa, they have their own country to seek help from.
THE ONLY PLACE AFFLICTED WITH 'PEOPLE WONT WORK' ILL IS AMERICA. there is NO such problem in other parts of the world. and in america, that is your excuse to dodge social responsibility.
that family is homeless because of fucktards like you. why dont you go back to 1950s to fornicate with mccarthy, or, maybe just die out ?
In USSR, I'd wager 99% could be considered poor by the US standards
no. majority would qualify over the hellhole slums americans were living, in around 80s. middle class, the 10-15% in america would rank over most of the u.s. population indeed, but, when you take masses into account, u.s. poor would be in direr straits and conditions than the bottom line in ussr.
Almost all money was spent on the military complex and bribing African, Asian, etc dictators. Very inefficiently at that.
glad that you brought that up. unfortunately, u.s. won at that front - leave aside bribing, but breeding african, asian etc dictators :
details more than 15-20 u.s. backed/placed/created dictators and their atrocities. be warned : not a pleasant read.
the thing you are right about is that, they indeed had spent most of their GNP on military. and they did so consciusly - in 1960 socialist international, ussr declared that they would overtake the west in military and space. and everything was spent to that end from that point on.
however you cant blame them. the west was besieging them in an unholy alliance since 1917. with only intermittent pause being world war ii. outside, whereas u.s. only needed to supply and subvert military brass with luxuries and funds to install them as dictators, ussr needed those personas to be ideologically compliant with the left ideology so that they could get a dictator, if they could. you can understand that a dictator would generally prefer luxuries and a lavish life over having to put up at least a storefront of modesty and communal instinct. that goes against greed. moreover, u.s. and its angloamerican allies were conveniently invading/intervening in minor countries by justifying through various means - but if ussr attempted that, world risked nuclear war. see the list of u.s. military interventions -an endless list :
there is no end to these since 1890. what happened in nikaragua, puts any half decent person into tears. and yet, it was done for 'democracy', and the world community just kept silent.
ussr could easily escalate tensions at the wake of these endless invasions, and brave world war iii. and actually, when a similar thing happened in korea, a maniac named mc arthur had went as far to request authorization to use nuclear weapons to 'bomb china into stone age'. the only open half intervention/invasion by ussr through chinese proxy, and this was the u.s. reaction. thankfully, truman was not a maniac himself and retired mc arthur.
moreover, whereas u.s. was stuffing any country bordering ussr with nuclear weapons (turkey, japan etc), hell broke loose and we came to the brink of world war iii when ussr attempted to place a few missiles in cuba. in all grandstanding bastardry. again, ussr backed.
so, in the end, ussr bloc came as the saner, more tempered party in the cold war - despite endless invasions and brutal empire building by the west, we have not come to the point which would cause ultimate destruction of civilization on the planet.
however this naturally had its toll - while u.s. was besieging ussr bloc with nuclear weapons, and spending cash made from empire building to weapon development, ussr had to spend their own bloc's gnp for that end. and since they had to wage war on many fronts, thanks to the endless empire building by the west bloc, they had to cope up with numbers. therefore, we ended up a HUGE military imbalance on ussr side. let me put it into context for you : if ww iii happened with anything other than nuclear weapons, entire europe, asia would be overrun by ussr in mere months. the numerical superiority was SO high that even an f14 bein
100 million people are using mass transit comfortably and safely in japan. many more, in europe. in europe, the standards for mass transportation varies depending on country, but in japan, there is no such variance. fast trains are a feature of life there. even in germany, where 200 km/h heavy luxury cars and a culture of expensive highways are present, mass transportation is much more convenient as long as there is a mass transport reaching the destination you want.
dont pose shitty opinions as facts or statements next time. or, keep them in america. it is stupid to drive to a destination by going through all the hassles and effort instead of arriving there by swinging your arms about as if in your back garden with a mass transport vehicle. it is you americans' fault that you let mass transportation to be neglected, and your metros, undergrounds have became hellholes of crime and shit. and dont even get me started on amtrak.
