View original postThere are two politicians who made the world a worse place.

You realize those are not actually facts. They're opinions which you'd probably have to put rather more effort into convincing people of.
View original postObama with his red line. Basically gave half of Ukraine to Russia and Syria and Lebanon to Iran. And Iraq and Yemen too I guess.

I won't say the US and the EU got Ukraine right, but I will say that I'm not sure what they were supposed to have done instead. If you are, perhaps you could enlighten me.

Yemen - believe it or not, but rather a lot of people feel that the Saudis are the bad guys there at least as much as the Houthis and Iran, if not much more so. As indeed in the Middle East in general. After all, the Saudis are the ones murdering their own citizens just for being Shi'ites. Not that Iran doesn't murder its own citizens, but not simply for being Sunni.

View original postMerkel with her insane migrant policy.

Whether or not her policy was insane, how precisely is this supposed to have made the world (as opposed to Germany alone) a worse place?
View original postBut those same media outlets who harp on Rouhani being the adult gave them a pass for those huge blunders.

They've certainly taken plenty of criticisms over the decisions they made. They didn't call them 'huge blunders', no, but that's because they weren't - the decisions may not have been the right decisions, that's certainly up for debate, but it wasn't that obvious what they should've done instead.

You said something similar a while back. And really, I just don't get it. Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:52:31 PM 682 Views
Oh, and just to add... Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:55:35 PM 587 Views

In the immortal words of Dennis Leary "We got the bombs" Who cares if Iran is the adult in the room? Cannoli - 22/09/2017 11:22:43 PM 606 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 549 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 305 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 612 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 552 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 563 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 636 Views
Socialists are taking it back aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:03:39 PM 578 Views

It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 545 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 290 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 496 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 337 Views
*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 520 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 457 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 549 Views

Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 508 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 596 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 567 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 603 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 521 Views

I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 696 Views
It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 555 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 606 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 547 Views
If you say so. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 592 Views

Trump lost credibility to me on the 'anti-PC' / 'pro free speech' issue aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 07:54:06 PM 491 Views
Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 248 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 467 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 490 Views
80% of the players may be black but a similar percentage of the fans are white random thoughts - 28/09/2017 12:59:57 PM 496 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 793 Views
