Maybe congresses salary should be a multiple of minimum wage so they always get increased together.

It pisses me off that american taxpayers are paying for this shit. If Isreal wants to commit genocide so much, I don’t want to fucking pay for it. See how far they get without us there backing them up.
Pointing out the hypocrisy is extremely useful for convincing open minded individuals who are listening to the arguement. Specifically the next generation.
So most oil comes from prehistoric algea. Most coal I believe comes from trees that evolved before fungus and bacteria could break down wood. Wood will no longer turn into coal because of fungus and bacteria.
I think this was an important quote from the article for context.
“In that moment, I was focused on our university’s longstanding policies aligned with the US Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable,” Magill said in the video. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate. It’s evil — plain and simple.”
Checked the vote roster and only 13 democrats voted nay, while 92 voted present which is dissapointing.
Unfortunately everything I have read indicates very few experts in nuclear energy believe it could be possible in the future.
Why does the guardian never link to it’s shocking studies? Can anyone find this study or how it was made?
I am more offended by them saying you have to be 21 years old. If you are old enough to be drafted for the military then you should be old enough to have a firearm. Same with the right to vote.
FBI studies show that only only .22s have significantly lower mortality rate. Mortality rates are more or less the same for other rounds when I read the study.
Besides my severe trust issues I am fine, life is better now that I have mostly cut them all off.
Fair enough. My conservative family is on the side of purposefully misunderstanding, but I can understand that some may just misunderstand and we should mitigate that when we can.
The right will often purposefully misrepresent whatever the left uses as a slogan. So only so much can be done there. As for the use of racial pride, I find that often those who can claim no accomplishments in themselves will often claim pride by association. They could claim pride in race, but really any group. This could be considered a defense mechanism for their own ego as they are not okay accepting their own short comings.
The main problem is that the exact meaning of communism and socialism and all of its derivatives has changed since its creation. Everyone ends up argueing over semantics and using no true scotsman fallacies.

This is a good empathetic arguement for socialism. Unfortunately many terrible people like the second solution of just killing off the unemployable in various ways. This was usually done through invading neighbors which increases ones own power and reduces your own unemployable workforce. If you don't want to kill off your own people, you may also have a minority group in your borders that can be put on trains for removal in various ways. Unfortunately the Karl Marx saw a common issue in history and proposed an empathetic way to solve it, but most people I know are assholes and prefer the second option.
Agreed. A big problem with the gun control debate is that on one hand we have lunatics able to massacre hundreds of children and on the other hand the right to bear arms exists so that people can defend their other rights when the government decides to be tyranical. I've heard the arguements that people can't defend themselves from the modern military, but Vietnam's handling of the US would be the counter arguement. The founding fathers and Karl Marx realized the importance of the people's ability to defend againest tyranny. So all that being said, how do we keep the citizens armed while not letting crazies kill our children. To that I have no answer, but I hope that some kind of comprise can be reached.
I had never heard about the Girandoni. Fascinating that they had those concepts so early. A link about it
OP directly quoted article title. The article from Forbes uses allegedly to protect itself from a defamation lawsuit.
