When I was growing up, 99.99% of the world was heterosexual. Nowadays everyone and their dog seems to think they're this, that, or the other, or perhaps they just want to be their dog, or perhaps their dog is their spirit animal, or maybe they just want to fûck their dog. My point is that it can't be biological factors. People probably just had an unpopular childhood and think that an alternative solution to their identity is the only solution, so they can join the communal heap of misinformation and safety of the Internet social justice climate.

I understand the whole tranny thing, but there are just too many of them on this small website for me to believe in the legitimacy behind their mindset.

Sure.

Here's Saddam Hussein's CV:
- The invasion of two sovereign nations (Iran, Kuwait)
- The annexation of one sovereign nation (Kuwait)
- The murder of up to a million Iraqis
- Genocide (the Al-Anfal Campaign alone killed 50,000-100,000 Kurds)
- Total control of the media
- Prohibition of satellite dishes (people who broke this law faced the death penalty)
- The Kuwaiti oil fires, which devastated regional air quality, causing respiratory problems for citizens of Kuwait and nearby countries
- The accompanying oil spill into the Persian Gulf, which was arguably one of the worst man-made natural disasters in history
- Sponsorship of terrorism (sending money to families of suicide bombers in Israel/Palestine)
- Hotly debated but very possible connections with Zarqawi, a high-ranking al-Qaeda officer

People like to suggest, nebulously and without ever citing real evidence, that people in the Middle East and particularly in Iraq have come to frown, across the board, upon the Iraq War. The Kurds, over 30 million of whom live in the region without a country to call their own, disagree:

Since the removal of Hussein, Iraqi Kurdistan has blossomed as a state effectively independent of and no longer persecuted by the government in Baghdad.


I actually saw a podcast with a sergant who was in the iraq war and I started looking at that whole war from a different positive perspective

Also anyone who thinks that a country will be instantly peaceful after the removal from power of its fascist dictator is an idiot. Of course there will be turmoil in the immediate aftermath.

I find it ridiculous that the same generation disgusted with our lack of intervention in Rwanda can sign up for the facile antiwar movement within the same decade. If Hussein wasn't bad enough to bring down then I don't know who is.

I think affirmative action is dumb. It literally just gives special treatment to people based on race, which isn't equal at all.

I think guns are fine. Stricter background checks are all we need. Guns in the countryside are used for targets and ranges and hunting (the majority of them) while guns in the city are used for gang violence (the majority) so why not just ban guns from the city? Also, I'm fine with putting restrictions on ammo and assault weapons.

I hate people who are ok with people interrupting rallies. You're no better than the candidate who's speaking if you stand up to interrupt him. Sure, stand outside in the freezing cold where no one will listen to you. Don't invade a private event where you'll get 15 seconds of fame.

Black Lives Matter is a scam. The dude who started it was literally white, and made it for profit. Google it sheeple.

While police brutality is a thing and does happen, some of these people where literally thugs. If you're 6 feet tall and like 220 pounds and you charge a police officer you're gonna be shot.
>Don't shoot criminals, use tasers instead!
>Don't taser criminals, it's inhuman, use human force!
>Using human force is inhuman!
Like wtf do you want police officers to do, ask them nicely to go under arrest?
Most of the people you are defending don't deserve it. They're criminals. Black, White, Asian, Latino, it doesn't matter the race. Cops are hardened to all the fuc ked up sh it they see every day. It takes a toll on you. They're the ones who deserve respect.
