This is nice, but I can’t stop thinking of all the women and girls in Afghanistan, that were just recently stripped of ALL rights, including the right to speak when they want. Availability of arteries on men doesn’t do anything for them.

I believe there are such people. But I don’t believe the female republican voter group is homogeneous.

The world is a colourful and diverse place. There are not only people wanting to be subjugated, but also those who are braindead, absolutely uninformed, scared shitless by propaganda, too naive to believe in the existence of evil… it takes all kinds to make a world.

I don’t think stupid people deserve bad things to happen to them, even though they often bring it on themselves as well as on others.

They know, they remember. And, of course, they won’t take any women with them.

The fact that they are complete morons doesn’t mean they want to be treated this way. It is a case for the leopards, but saying this is not helpful to the potential victims from both camps.

Please, keep your empathy for women in general, they’re going to need it now more than ever.

I agree. Where did anyone do that? All I see is women using my argument to protect themselves. Aramis87 acknowledged the existence of good men with “yes”, then expressed it’s still safer to chose the bear, which it is.

Unless the rapist guys’ skin turns green so they can be easily told appart from the good ones, women are going to chose the bear.

Marty failed. Wtf.

He admires Putin. Just watch.

Do you think Vance is going to be better?

It’s a pity that social policies are blamed for the fucked up history of the east instead of the real culprits - totalitarian regimes.

And it’s important to understand that those can develope anywhere, no matter whether the country is more socialistic or capitalistic or religious.

That still seems like the end of NATO to me. No need to leave, just make it disfunctional.

To be fair, the fear of repeating the terrible wars that started in Europe was strong even after European countries recovered. I suppose it didn’t look like the greatest idea to let Germany or anyone really to have a super strong army.

The bonds are deteriorating beyond repair. This won’t be enough. Trump win will embolden the rising far right in EU countries. There’s no good thing, I’m afraid. Sorry for my pessimism.

They’re not. They’re ready to screw themselves as well.

Who’s going to war with whom? To me it seems more likely that all the countries are going to embrace totality peacefully.

Yes, that’s the problem. But how do you raise better people? Good education can give you better understanding of societal problems. Equality and tolerance can be taught, just like rasism and hate can be taught. A good education system can be the only way to cultivate people if the hate runs in the families. It takes several generations to make things better though.

I don’t think people will commit massive violence to save their rights. The majority just conforms to the regime (which many of them voted for and are comfortable with) and the minority is too weak. I think they’re going to obey and suffer quietly rather than risk direct oppression. Just like in other totalitarian countries.

Well, POTUS is not just a national polititian, they do international politics as well. They influence the whole world directly in a big way. People from many other countries feel the same as Americans.

And with medicinal properties ;) A bit tricky to get though.

You’re perfectly right. And it’s not just about energy, which there is a lot of in oils and proteins too. In nature, the sweetest things you’ll get are different kinds of fruit - all packed full of vitamins, antioxidants, fiber and whatnot. And they’re seasonal, so if you don’t eat them right away, you’re going to have to wait another year. So our taste makes us eat as much as we can. Sugar, of cours, is cheating.

(I just happen to be on my way to buy some pastries.)
