Putin is an old KGB ploy. Don't worry Trump is here to teach yall.

And it's marketed in very sophisticated ways through social media. This article explains how it works.

This makes a nice tldr:

To be fair most of the Muslim world is attacking itself endlessly

Its funny how govements target certain peoples, in the 90s it was a war against the IRA in the uk. Now they seem to target anything Islam.

Some truth here for sure but conflation too. Japan - started a way against millions of people. Germany - started a war and genocide against millions more. I will grant you the others though, they were countries minding their own business.

True. Before the Americans Islam endured British Colonization and before that the centuries long Crusades. Yeah they have done a some crazy shit especially at the fringes but the score is a fuckin blowout with the Christians scoring way, way more kills and it's still not enough.

And the basis of Christianity is forgiveness!

14 billion to control an economy worth trillions? These guys aren't prostitutes they're street hookers.

Seriously do they take bitcoin?

Skynet of Skynets gets my vote.

Guns are not the problem, they never have been. Why not start laying the blame where it belongs, with the people using a gun to kill and injure other people. A gun doesn’t kill or injure anybody unless a human being is pulling the trigger. Of course, the left wants you to believe everything would be flowers and sunshine if we only got rid of the mean, evil guns. You’re right about one thing, control. People are a lot easier to control if they can’t defend themselves. Of course that kind of logic is taboo for the left. Fear mongering and race baiting are the left’s weapons of choice. The left are the biggest racists on the planet. People forget that if not for the right, the civil rights act never would have made it to Johnson’s desk to sign into law. Who was opposed to it, most of the Democrats. There were active members of the KKK in congress and they were Democrats. Am l saying there are no racists on the right. Of course l am not, but the left would have you believe their shit doesn’t stink. It’s just sad that such a large group of people are fooled by their bullshit.

Totally, if you want gun control invent it.

tldr its a tech problem :). i think that’s right

Yes but some tech, its lasted for centuries you know and thats with lots of R&D money.

Dayam, why don't we think past guns, +!

Because it's the only reason we still have a democracy. The country's fore fathers knew this. That's why they put it in the constitution. Fuck the living document bullshit. If you think things would be so great without guns, take a look at what's happened in the past. Stalin killed more of his own people than were killed during the Second World War. The only reason he was able to it was by disarming the population first. Same story with China and Cambodia. Chairman Mao loved committing genocide, to the tune of 40 million. Pol Pot did away with 2 million. What is the common denominator? One and all disarmed. If you think things would be so great if we think past guns, instead of looking at what happened when the people were disarmed. You need to look backwards, or better yet, go talk to some of those people. Oh wait, you can't. Dead men, women and children tell no tales.

Yes, defense against government was the reason and made plenty of sense when the tech was there in the 18th century. But do you think an armed citizenry has even a tiny chance against the American military now? If so let me know who you buy from here cause I want some of that shit :)

It’s expensive. $500 for a grenade. Things like stingers are in the hundreds of thousands dollars range. It’s possible to get anything you want, even tactical nukes are on the table as well. I thought it was bullshit till l saw one. That’s right boys and girls, there are rogue nukes on American soil. You’re talking 10’s of millions of dollars for one of them After seeing it l thought someone would kill me for that very reason. I try to avoid thinking about it otherwise l’ll go off the deep end.

They said the same thing about North Vietnam. Look at how that turned out. The same thing is happening right now in Afghanistan. If you’re fighting for something you believe in, anything is possible. You talked about the revolutionary war. It was the same situation. Our fore fathers believed their cause was just so they took up arms and went to war against the most powerful nation in the world at that time. We didn’t even have a standing professional army, yet we won our freedom when nobody would have thought we had any chance of defeating our foes. You also have to take into account if the army would go to war against the people who they swore to protect. If the order is given, l really doubt they would kill their fellow Americans.

Where is that the money maid by the Police, lawyers, Medical industries, air ambulance is what $4K a trip?

Why don’t you take another English grammar course. My 4 year old niece speaks and writes english better than yourself.

No If Everybody had to ware a gun and soon the dumbest and t, most unrespectful humans will not pass there unwanted gene's on as many as they now do

I am wrong. You’re the end result of inbreeding, that’s the only way to explain why you’re this stupid.

You know you are right the only catch is that the dumbest are little children

I think this would work - and it makes money - so why hasn't this happened?

That's cruel and unusual lasering.

I was cruel and unusually lasered and my bush still aches.

Is it paranoid if I think my remote control was hacked and they're lazering me right now?

Our media does not represent reality. Everyone is welcome over here!

It's not to that degree at all. Some may go out of their way to accommodate you out of shame.

A black person with a novel accent is going to get lots of smiles in the US minimum, you are going to have a great time believe me mate ;0

You are more than welcome here, please come and enjoy your stay, foreign tourists are welcomed, we need the money!

It's not as bad as it looks on tv! Black people are a hugely important part of American culture and the object of love and admiration across a lot of different sub cultures. The immigration and law enforcement officers you are talking about are very likely to be African American themselves.

Yes there are some places where the inner city conflicts with the suburbs and its surely a racial situation but that's an isolated phenomenon and is unlikely to come up on your trip.

Enjoy the states and if you are going to make it to Chicago hit me up :)

I don't mean to be pedantic but this should read "Less Sex with Humans".

But munching also way up. From what I understand.

May one ask how you know that? Lol

Face it: they are too fat to fuck

youre never too fat to fuck darlin

Trump just proves any numptee can be president

I think he likes us

Totally bitch don't talk like that unless she's feeling it for ya.

cum and project your image on me baby

I don't think Americans deserve Trump it's more like they are vulnerable now and he's taking advantage like Hitler.

Trump is Hitler without the silky hair conditioner

Trump is more German

i get what all of you are saying but it's important to remember society is more than government/media/corporotracy. the freedom of america has always been how people treat each other and especially don't judge each other. america is still the most diverse society and people are supportive of you doing whatever you want to. try that in your old country or your parents old country etc. it's always a place that has felt less free than the the us.

I like the fact the DEA has removed all there lies and properganda on cannabis, this seems to be going well there. I still dont agree with alot of the gun laws etc...

By most surveys of freedom at least 15 countries.

By number of people outside of prison every country on earth.

Scotland! Freeedom!

Be careful lad, her Highness doesn't like it when her subjects get out of line.

Not just number its the percent of people living in jail and its not only Number 1, it's 5x that of nearly any country and more than 2x the number 2 prison mill, Russia.

Things are getting better, prison populations in the US peaked in 2008,

Things are not getting better, they are getting worse because the prison industry is embedded into the state.

“if all drug cases were eliminated, the US imprisonment rate would still have quadrupled over the past thirty-five years.”"

How free is a country where 1/3 of the population is considered by its government to be criminals?

At some point any maybe we are there now it's like the lack of a criminal record says something about a person

lol, ya'll really need to be more academic. No disrespect but the man educated over 3,000 medical professions, so if you happen to believe that such information of this quotation exists, it don't cause it ain't real.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rush#Religious_views_and_vision

Also, this is not the first time Rush has been misquoted and characterized upon his views.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15981368

Also, here's who Rush really was http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html piece out some qoutes and tell me this conception is consistent with him?

If it involves life and death you can bet your ass that government will control it and yeah a wizzard cult that administers it like fucked up old IT department.

Whoah, how could he see this in 1789?

Medicine men have used their tricks for power since the 1st civilizations. Still a very impressive prediction though.

Definitely a time traveler

what rush really was saying, read some of his actual quotes http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html

better off in anybody elses hands

A glock no less

Do you think cops rap to each other about their killings?

Dayam it feels good to be a po po
Shooting everytime I get the feel fo it
Punk ass bitches, turn em out to snitches
Locking up their stupid ass
and keeping all their riches

Better you're out there beating people than rhyming like this ever again.

I just saw the part where he shows there is no correlation between public support and legislation but a strong correlation between financial support and legislation, it's kind of mind blowing even if you're already jaded.

Yeah that's a bigger deal and less click baity than the title.

Wow!

That song is a sequel to this, "Can't be neutral on a moving train"

Henry David Thoreau was a tax dissenter and arrested for not paying? How the fuck did they not mention this when they made us read Walden Pond in school.

Wait you wanted to do algebra? Not with this arithmetic permit punk.

Kid I'm gonna need some kind of proof for this equation you're holding.

It has a technology base that it's shared with the rest of the world. Enjoy folks, and don't make the same mistakes we did!

Too bad he infringed on so many freedoms by turning police into bandits that keep what they "sieze"

The old man was not corrupt. At the time of his election privatization was a huge meme and was working well across the world for turning state owned industries into real businesses with better prices and service. Reagan thought economic incentive was the key to performance and any privatization was good.

So he was stupid and needs a break, cool why isn't that a defense for lesser crimes then? Because that don't pay.

When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times

Fascism isn't inevitable if people get off their asses and vote.

Ha this really looks funny now - people have since voted almost exclusively for fascism!

World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today

What good is voting if the legislature is alfeady bought and sold?

Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.

Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.

"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"

As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

I think this is the 1st time you've ever made sense

You're going to ruin my reputation

Well since reputation is everything around here, no this doesn't make sense. Civil war, been there done that.

Cali would never use war, they'd just mellow out of the union.

That's if the Snoop Party leads, what about the Shug Party, that's war.

The cyber war would be over in minutes!

You guys are really giving me hope, thanks. War, it *is* the answer!

Can we have Vegas? It's contiguous and has a spanish name

Sure, first move is to occupy the Trump casino, the friday hooker flight will move our operatives in range.

great but what about the rest of us?

Each one of us can declare their freedom at any time, we dont need a state's help for this. If we don't we are recognizing that we were subjagated at birth, it's really that simple.

Wait Bahrain is only Vermont?

Fuckin Saudia Arabia is only Jersey

Imagine the Gulf War fought over Arkansas

Excuse me sir, that should read Fuckin Jersey

I like Ohio as Switzerland

Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.

Wow, it's hard to remember this is what human beings can be.

No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

k-rino has a nice rap-recap on this

You like this check out vinie paz on this

Yes it can be saved and it starts with gratitude. We all stand on the shoulders America has built up from generations of relative freedom.

Well said, there is way to move forward this is it. American values are still all there; it's up to each American to recognize them.

Every time there is a pushback on Trump it shows the system has some life in it, whether its the media, the courts or the crowd.

True mate but that cowboy is still around and he's rollin up a joint these days. Say what you like but the Yanks are way ahead of us with letting him do just that.

Thanks but the fact is that everyday 2,000 more people are arrested for cannabis in the US.

So who is the cool cowboy now?

Iceland!
