Removing an embryo is a far cry from killing a living self aware and feeling child. What a specious and weak argument, often used by the far right to justify control over others.
OP: Buy a gun and protect yourself, it's a constitutional right after all even if you're Muslim. If someone threatens you in a fashion that may result in causing you physical harm based on your ethnicity or perceived religious affiliation, don't back down. You don't owe anyone an apology and...
This shouldn't even be up for debate. It's a responsible action taken by an individual that may not be ready to care for another and/or burden society with that decision.
On that note, I always wondered, why is it that Republicans and the Christian right are so concerned with what other...
More white male domestic terrorism: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/11/30/pa-passenger-rants-about-isis-before-shooting-muslim-taxi-driver-in-back/
When are there going to be mass demonstrations against White male terrorism? :D
Americans have become too fat, lazy and entitled and it's why this country is circling down the drain. There's still those that work very hard but they're becoming fewer in number. Imagine if the US was like a middle east country facing daily bombings by various world powers with no...
I haven't seen large Christian rallies denouncing this man's terrorist acts. Until Christians come out in large groups and publicly denounce his actions and state that abortion is a right and privilege and those using that service should not be attacked, then white right wing Christian males are...
I think given the topic and who the terrorist was in this incident, this article is relevant: http://www.mintpressnews.com/white-americans-are-the-biggest-terror-threat-in-the-united-states/211608/
Speaking of Afghanistan, check out this article it's quite good: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/28/world/asia/once-inguantanamo-afghan-now-leads-war-against-taliban-and-isis.html
What a mess Afghanistan has become, I felt really bad for what this guy went through but god damn does he got some...
Conservatives want to use that tax money to spy on US civilians, start foreign wars and other nonsensical shit. If they spent it the same way as Canada does that'd be an entirely different matter.
Wrong, someone motivated by ideology acting alone can constitute a terrorist.
It doesn't have to be a group, just a political/religious ideology behind the motives.
But the invasion of Iraq did lead to the subsequent creation of ISIS and gave it the ability to spread out unfettered. So while the West isn't directly responsible for starting the mess in Syria, it does hold some accountability. But yeah the Afghan one as I noted is completely misleading as the...
Yeah I think US/Western influence has just brought further disaster there. I saw these pics on google images and while they're off for laying the blame entirely on "democracy" it is pretty telling:
Also Iraq and Afghanistan (though Afghanistan is Russia's doing):
I was getting a haircut yesterday and ironically enough the guy cutting my hair was from Syria but he was a Christian. I asked him about what was going on there and he said that the Western media didn't tell the real story and that in fact the vast majority of Syrians love Assad and that it was...
And so it begins: http://news.yahoo.com/heavy-russia-raids-syria-area-where-plane-downed-003111296.html
I don't think Turkey will react, they'll probably get their Turkmen to cross into Turkish territory for now while the Russians let out some PR fume.
Money is what drives the world, nothing will come of this incident as Russia is already reeling from the sanctions and won't want to lose even more money. I doubt Putin wants to bring back Soviet era soup lines by chipping away further at an already weakened Russian economy...
My moneys on nothing happening after this. Turkey will be coerced by NATO to make some sort of concession to Russia and in exchange Russia will promise to be more careful in territory violations and that'll be the end of it.
I'm no fan of Hillary but show me when she's made even 1/10th the amount of outlandish statements Trump or Carson has? In fact, for Republicans, it's basically a race to the bottom since it's clear the contenders are tripping over themselves trying to top one another on who can make the most...
Putin has been bombing US/Turkey backed rebels since they arrived, this wouldn't be anything new. In fact I think the reason they got shot down today was because enough was enough.
I think you're placing too much emphasis on this perceived Russian-Kurdish nexus. The Kurds have no proclivity to side with Russians, they are firmly in US hands. Putin has been getting way too aggressive and it was a matter of time before he was put in his place. Don't think for a second the US...
Much of that first link is just conjecture and hearsay. Of course Turkey will do anything to stymie the Kurds, that's their modus operandi and part of that could have been turning a blind eye to ISIS activity in Kurdish regions. Every state actor has to look after their own interests first but...
Fear is a strong vehicle for emotional appeal to a population that votes based on how the media tells them to think. Right now it's fashionable to be Islamophobic and and the right wing are taking advantage of it. Unfortunately, when those politicians get voted in and start implementing policies...
Proof? And let's say Russian planes were crossing into Alaska and were repeatedly warned (10 times over 5 minutes) to leave Alaskan territory but did not respond, do you think the US would let it go and not shoot them down? Get real, Turkey was well within it's rights to do what it did.
Idolize ISIS? Get the fuck out of here. I specifically pointed out right wing Christians who hide behind the first amendment like you so conveniently pointed out and the US flag to wage their hate filled agendas and are just as big of cowards as ISIS.
They don't have a standing army and very few hard targets. So again, WHO are you going to bomb? If your stupid answer is, "well wherever they are", then that's a blanket statement that means "anywhere there's Muslims" which goes back to my original assertion--that you make a target out of 1.6...
Politically I'm very much in the center. Would it surprise you to know I was a registered Republican once upon a time? Then the party was slowly hijacked by buffoons like you and taken so far to the right that it makes moderates like me look like ultra leftists.
Because Saudi money is deeply invested in US politics. Most of the Islamic extremism we see today stems directly from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has actively funded and exported Wahhabi culture to Pakistan, Afghanistan and many other places and condemned them to religious strife and...
Everything I said is true and rational. The most hate mongering group in the US tends to be White Christian males. They hide behind the US flag as a cover for their xenophobic racist rants. Today it's Muslims because of what happened in France and as soon as the media moves on to another story...
Most of the hate speech on this forum and others is from right wing Christians. They're no better than the ISIS extremists, it's just that they don't have the balls to carry out the same type of attacks that ISIS does or to travel to the ME and take on ISIS themselves. That's why they spend...
Look, you said she's an old lady, how do you know she doesn't suffer from some form of dementia or other medical problem? It's obvious she was spouting nonsense, so if I were in your place, I would have simply discontinued the personal conversation and asked the guy to continue it some other...
