    Not many.

    But Christianity does not advertise itself (falsely) as "The Religion of Peace."

    And it does not seek to either convert or kill all others, either.

    I am not aware of any wars begun by those (on any continent), in the name of Christianity, designed to "kill the infidels," in the name of Yahweh.

    Americans have guns because they're needed. Outside of the cities, it is still pretty wild. But that's not the only reason people should have guns. When reading books on the Ottoman Empire I realized that from the first major Massacre of the island of Chios 180 years ago, to the latter ones of the Armenians and Pontic Greeks, the first thing the Ottomans did was disarm the people through some pretext so they would hand in their guns. Don't trust anyone and ...

    Never give up your guns! :unclesam:

    Trump seems to have this problem with maintaining friendships with our historical allies - Great Britain, Mexico, Australia. All in less than 6 months. That's some foreign policy being demonstrated.

    it is crazy but points out how easy it is for people raised in an environment of hard fought for free speech to suddenly turn against it. Or have an understanding of women's rights yet ignore what's happening to women and girls in Islam. They'll fine shop owners hundreds of thousands of dollars for not selling a cake for a gay wedding but deny any murders of Gays in Islam whatsoever.

    In fact they cannot debate logically but must instead use their usual epithets of 'racist' etc. and will get behind any petty issue of the day they're instructed to support. It is an emotional response and one not based on logic or an understanding of the problem. They are not taught to think critically, and that is the fault of the education system in all the democracies. It is, like the Nazis, Communists and Fascists before them to just restrict free speech and eliminate debate altogether.

    Look at their rabid faces when they riot, or scream at any opposition. These are no different from the faces Leni Rieffenstahl photographed during Hitler's rise to power.

    There is no foreign policy being demolished. The problem is that many European leaders believed they were still dealing with another Barack Obama. America is the leader and they will eventually come to heel.

    The far left allies with ANYONE who is against the West, US, Israel - they could be monsters from another planet who eat puppies - as long as they are against the current capitalistic structure. Many are unsuccessful professionally and personally, and they believe by destroying the current system they might be able to succeed in a different one. They'll never look at themselves, their lack of intelligence, work ethic, etc as a reason for their failings - its just easier to attack/blame someone/something else for it.

    I should point out that certain groups like international answer, code pink, etc who represent this philosophy are often funded by anti-american/anti-western groups or organizations; putie boy's russia is but one example.

    Jihadists might be described as the alt.left, but many seem to just be establishment Clinton Democrats.

    “Omar and I continued to have infrequent conversations over the next few years. I last saw him at a dinner at his father’s house in January. We talked about the presidential election and debated our views of the candidates that were running – he liked Hillary Clinton and I liked Bernie Sanders. This banter continued through texts and phone calls for several months. My last conversation with Omar was by phone in mid-May. He called me while he was at the beach with his son to tell me about a vacation he’d taken with his father to Orlando the previous weekend. He’d been impressed by the local mosque.” THE WASHINGTON POST, I reported Omar Mateen to the FBI. Trump is wrong that Muslims don’t do our part., By Mohammed A. Malik June 20,2014.

    @Fred C Dobbs
    We don't have freedom of speech here. Never had have.

    No one here fought hard to get it. We don't have it.

    I self censor. We all do. I can't write here, anything and everything I think. That would leave me open to prosecution.
    The press is censored. I am censored.

    America is the home of free speech.

    We have a place called Speakers Corner, the corner of Hyde Park.
    There is nothing there, it's just a street corner in London, but it's a place for free speech. You go there and preach to the crowd/yourself/passers by. Say what you please.

    Unless you say the wrong thing, then you get arrested. Lol!

    The only other place we have free speech in the UK is in Parliament.
    I can't say whatever I please, but they can.

    Somehow them being able to say the things I am not able to say is "representative". When clearly no one is allowed to ask them for this representation because that would be a crime.

    UK parliament. the only place in the UK to have free speech and also, a convention not to accuse anyone of lying. So free lying too.

    The idiots are elected other carefully crafted idiots manufactured by the corrupt Western education system.

    “Even some of Ms. Hirsi Ali’s critics say they understand her hostility to Islam, given her experiences, though they think she goes too far. A native of Somalia, she has written and spoken extensively of her experience as a Muslim girl in East Africa, including undergoing genital cutting, a practice she has vigorously opposed, and her family’s attempts to force her to marry a man against her wishes.” THE NEW YORK TIMES, Brandeis Cancels Plan to Give Honorary Degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Critic of Islam, BY RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA and TANZINA VEGAAPRIL 8, 2014

    No one submits faster to serious violent intimidation than tenured university radicals.

    Do you have anything to say about any particular article by any particular reporter?

    Or are you just criticizing some nebulous "MSM" hive mind that you think exists?

    Have you ever had cause to say something that is actually against the law in the UK?

    If so, what was it?

    If my president isn't welcome in that cesspit they call a city, neither are my tax dollars. Trump should withdraw every non-essential federal employee from that pit, cancel every meeting, conference, and whatnot scheduled to be held there, and issue a travel warning for Americans stupid enough to want to visit there. Clearly this mayor is incapable of protecting that city and US citizens should avoid it while he's in office...

    It shouldn't. The only thing "progressives" care about is power, so if they determine that crawling into bed with the Islamists who are also fighting their mutual conservative and libertarian opponents will help them gain and maintain power then the end justifies the means. It's straight out of Alinsky - all other considerations are secondary in their calculus.

    Another thing you have to remember is that "progressives", like Islamists, are two peas in the authoritarian pod. Philosophically, progs have a lot more in common with Islamists and fascists that they do with the liberals (in the classical sense) who champion Individualism and everything associated with it.

    That would be telling!

    I wouldn't be allowed for example to say "kill all Muslims".
    I wouldn't be allowed to encourage any acts of violence against certain groups.
    I could say "kill all ISIS".

    Many of the rules surround, race and gender. Essentially hate preaching laws.
    No race bashing, no gay bashing.
    But also libel laws. I can't say damaging things about others publicly without leaving my self open for legal repercussion. Then we have advertising laws. I can't lie in what I say about my product.
    Then we have secrecy laws, state secrecy and also corporate secrecy contracts.

    Press blankets. Sensitive issues are not allowed to be reported. Court trials, military intelligence.. who knows what really.

    Civil order laws.
    I'm not allowed to use abusive language or be verbally aggressive to people.
    I'm not allowed to swear at a police man who is arresting me.
    Not allowed to incite riots or violence or murder.
    Can't shout "kill him" at a fight.
    Can't preach sedition. Can't call for a revolution.

    But it's not just UK law in the internet. I can't make idle threats about the American President here either. British people go to American jails for that.


    By and large I'm OK with it all. I don't mind the laws. No biggie.
    I am aware that if a lefty crank takes offence to me he can make trouble for me, so I am mindful publicly, but in private I say what the hell I like. No thought police in my house.

    That explains why so many Brits anonymously turn to the Internet to say those damaging and "offensive" things in public.

    As for libel laws, most, if not all, nations have them, but the way your legal system handles libel laws has made the UK one of the preferred destinations for libel forum tourists who are abusing your system so they can silence citizens in other countries such as my own (USA). Things got so bad we had to pass a law denying comity with your libel forums in order to protect the speech that is protected under our Constitution.

    Personally, I find your country's speech codes offensive. Can I sue your country for hurting my precious feelings? :mrgreen:

    It didn't work. What did work was the Soviet offensive. You WASPs take way too many credit for defeating Germany.

    Civilisn bombings were largely inefficients, allied like axis ones.

    Shocker, another "I disagree with Trump so he must be insane" thread.

    Conservatives are definitely combative with their ideologies, but why do liberals think that any opnion other than their own is evil?

    That is honestly a leftist only trait and it kills me. As much as I hate both parties I can't vote Democrat unless they stop the hate pandering. Sure, Republicans do it as well, but Democrats are so over the top that it is impossible to even have a debate with them anymore

    The only responses I have ever come across to any of the terrorist attacks in Russia were condemnations of the government. If it isn't accusations against Vladimir Putin for having blown up apartment buildings for his own self serving interests, then it's that he didn't handle the situation correctly at Breslan.

    And then we had the more recent terrorist attack in Russia, where the response was super limited compared to Paris or Brussels. This lack of sympathy didn't go unnoticed by the Russians, who went out of their way to lay flowers in Paris and Brussels.

    I wouldn't, but that is what the poster I was replying to suggested we should do to suspected Islamic terrorists.

    Many Mexican illegals are gangs, drug lords, and human traffickers. M13 gang here from Mexico is one of the worst violent gangs on the planet. Many other illegals are here voting illegally with the help of the democratic party. And then there are those that just come here to jump on programs that are robbing American citizens of their social security who paid that money into the system for their retirement. Now thanks to the liberals the system is going bust. But of course they don't care, all that matters to them is that these people keep casting their ballots in the upcoming elections even if it means using names of dead people.

    LOL Gotta means "got to" as "gonna" means going to and "dunno" means don't know...any other slang type internet language you want to be educated on? I could go on forever..maybe you should play some catch up? IKR?

    And no offense but you sound extremely bigoted and angry. Maybe an anger management course would help? Otherwise instead of a terrorist, they might find YOU in a clock tower holding a sniper rifle some day!
