What Ben is trying to say is that if he was in charge we would have the right kind communism. Why do all these faux communists behave like the aristocracy that they claim to hate?

That no one seems to be able to distinguish Trump from every sleazeball politician the US has ever had is something that continues to annoy me to no end. Trump is not like the Clintons, or the Bushes, or Obama, or Nixon, or Reagan or essentially any American politician you'd care to name.
The "Trump is like every other politician schtick" is a ghastly normalization of an amoral, incompetent human trash fire, who is the evil embodiment of all the ways in which vast amounts of money tip the scales in life. I wouldn't have trusted him with being an assistant manager at a fake McDonald's, much less President of a major country, or owner of a multimillion dollar company, or host of a major TV show.
Next to Trump Bill Clinton appears to be an ascetic monk, next to Trump Nixon seems like a dedicated public servant beyond reproach, next to Trump W. Bush seems a wise politician, next to Trump Dan Quayle is intelligent, next to Trump Hillary Clinton looks like a human.
Are a religious person or is he just Satan to reason?
As for the other paragraph, care elaborate how?

KSA and his homies are mad for the Qatar boys chilling with the Muslim brotherhood and according to Wikileaks, supporting Al-Nusra in Syria, all while somehow being friendly with Iran. All while the Saudi-sponsored ISIS boys blow up some **** in Iran where the Persians blame the US by proxy as they see them and Mossad doing the funding and training indirectly. All while the US has 10k men stationed in Qatar, Turkey thinks that is not enough and send some of their own personel. Then there's the Russians.
The world makes perfect sense today.

I like how the arguments made by those who try to show an image of being more dignified than most being nothing more than of the same kindergarten sandbox quality. "Your president soooo dumb" indeed.
So fellas, what's up with Qatar? Has Trump given the green-light to the other gulf-states to invade?

For asking you to prove your point? It's interesting how fragile your platform must be, when people are fascist for simply asking questions :D
Whereas being it for actively attacking the oppositions morals just for disagreeing.
You have both now insinuated that I am basically morally corrupt - see the problem?
For the record I complelty respect your opinion and right to have it and never have or will claim anything about your character. I don't however respect your arguments, as I find them weak and baseless.
What? I am talking about society in general, not you. I am talking about getting that inner beast unleashed and fight back actively, however small it might be. Like this guy:

The radical jews (who still exist today but are now positions of power in Israel instead of insurgance groups), are insular and follow a non-expansive doctrine. To compare them to Sunni/Wahabbi/Salafist-Islam then is disingenuous at best, as they do not share the same ethos at all.
I want the troops out of the middle east (Saudi included), build a wall around it, and deploy minefields in the mediterranean. I want action, not sending the next generation of children to the slaughter for a virtue signalling concert to prove to your coward selves that you are not hating. Utterly disgusting and despicable.
The comparison was the targeting of the Muslim population in Europe, as a scapegoat for the actions of other, but read it as you will.
I want troops of the Middle East as well, although instead of a wall (because history really proves how effective that is) we would gain a lot more with respectful trade, where we have a possibility to influence their politics by enriching their middle class - rather than only empowering their elite.
And that last part really shows your colors buddy, well done.. That's basically the marching tune of all fascist regimes "my actions are the only morally correct, anyone who disagrees is morally corrupt, disgusting and despicable" .. well done.
Trade will always happen in way or the other, it has been that way since man crawled out of the slime. As for the rest, what is your argument really? That self-prevelation fascism? Love ISIS' hate?

The core message of salvation in christianity is personal regret and asking forgiveness for your sins.
The core message of salvation in Islam is to kill unbelievers in the name of islam and your sins are forgiven.
I do need some of that regret right now because all i feel is pure unadultared hatred. I am far from the only one.
Several Jewish groups of the 1910s, 20s and 30s, inspired by communism, in opposition to aggressive conservative governments of the time, annoyed with their minority treatment and the lack of progress from the world powers, committed a minor string of terrorists attacks in GB, France and Germany - bombings, stabbings, killings.. But coupled with the financial distress of the time, their actions quickly became mainstream news.
It created a very lucrative target for politicians of the day, who saw that the actions of radical leftwing Jews could be used to even target nationalists right wing conservatives - and their hold on the financial institutes.. As long as they simply shared religion and outwards ethnicity. It created a common enemy, from Scotland to Vienna, someone which the disenfranchised poor (always the target of both left, right, black and white terrorism) could blame for all their problems.
Until someone took it too far..
Godwin's law often prevent this comparison, but it is extremely relevant, because it shows just how powerful scapegoatism is as a political tool.
You should be angry and you're certainly allowed to be hateful - but take that anger out on those who are the cause of this - and that's not your neighbor. It's not even ISIS.. Your hate is wasted on the symptom and they're yet another sad symptom of Wahhabism.. And Wahhabism is funded, fueled and exported by European and American money and our dangerous reliance on the petrodollar economy.
As long as we keep bombing the middle east AND fund the people in Saudia Arabia training these terrorist, then its never ever gonna end. We've had 15! years of war in that region, with ever decreasing civil rights, more police, more control and more bombs.. are we safer?
Do you feel safer? No? then why do you think getting more of this will make it better?

Pfeh, sunnis can **** off back to kaaba, they are the ones causing a disaster everywhere they go as they dwelve into wahabism and salafism, all funded by KSA across almost all mosques in the EU. Ally yourself with the ones who have already figured out that all this Jihad holy war, pray five times a day, killing all who commit apostasies, doing pilgrimages to mecca and alike is horse****. They exist already, they are called Alevites, Yazedis and to some degree Sufis.
The sunnis are the nazis of Islam. Too bad they are the majority let in.

Eh...Picasso's sister died of diphtheria when he was a boy which greatly effected him; his blue period started from depression triggered by the suicide of a friend.
If you look at any artist you'll find shares of highs and lows...not because they're artists but because most of the famous artist are typically being looked at years after they've passed on and you can catalogue their experiences of a type. Everyone's life has success and tragedy.
If he only had gotten some pills then he would've painted much better.
I have derailed long enough, carry on.

If you want to remove Islamic terrorism, then just deport all muslims. Then deal with with your own terrorism.
Or you could shut down the Saudis and Israel.
I see that you're playing the game of realpolitik in hard mode, i like it.

'Hello sir, are you a muslim ? You know the ones we are deporting en masse rigth now. No you say, well carry on then'
That's the point, western society has managed to get into the paradox of having an open society and actively import people who are against it. Enjoy the ride, because they are getting more incentive from the passiveness and for forgiving their murders by the ideals that provide them.

Confirmation bias. You remember hearing about artists who are crazy, no one goes 'oh that Rembrandt fellow was totally normal'.
Perhaps, but better use some other example as rembrandt painting his best paintings when his wife and 4 of his children died.
That only leaves you with having to prove that suffering artists produce art more efficiently than happy artists.
Efficiency is the wrong word, but rather quality and creative impulses.
Still only seeing an assertion with no proof.
I can not offer any personal story, but pretty much high marks music, art and litterature (Milton's Paradise Lost, The Beatles, Van Gogh, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, T.S. Elliot, etc) were made during times when the artists were depressed or suffered. Anti-depressants as such alleviates such strong emotions required for a work of artist to be as visceral as it is. It doesn't shut the door to the dark inner world, but it muddles it's meaning to something grey not worth allocating to an idea.
That being said, it works wonders on people who need it to be able to work everyday work.
Artists stories are often big part of their work, which is why those artists that are known by everybody often have quite colorful lives.
But also suffering is relative, like for example Van Gogh, one could argue that he was artist suffering from mental illness that drive him to self destruction and self harm who sold only one painting during his life. But he was also man who didn't actually earn a cent during his life and was still able to travel around Europe, go to brothels, bars, and so on regularly, because his life was paid by others who for various reasons supported his hippy life style.
And there is also artists like Picasso, who found their greatness and thing that marks them in history books after they have gained fortune and good life. As Picasso become rich with good quality portraits other paintings, but he is remembered by painting style that he invented after he was already rich and respected artist.
And there are artist like Tolkien whose path to world fame was in middle of suffering and good life. Tolkien fought in WWI, which is the suffering part, but then he was respected English professor with steady income that let him to write books that he wanted to write.
The suffering of one is not comparable to the suffering of others, true. But objectively speaking they had a suffering and personal demons and they channeled that to their craft beautifully. Maybe i should've framed it differently as i wasn't talking about mental illness, but the boundry between the two are thin when it comes to creative types.
Also Picasso, lol. Perhaps the most boring paintings that there is so it fits that he was a happy kinda guy.

While mass medication of ADHD/ADD/depression/anxiety might save lives, it seems to curb the explosive creative energies that come from suffering artists.
[citation needed]
I see it as a fair assesment that drugs who dulls the senses for for which suffering is experienced also weakens the capability to express them creatively. For the same reason as drugs like alcohol and LSD seems to temporarily heighten them.

Most artists of yesterday would be diagnosed as having a mental deficiency today. While mass medication of ADHD/ADD/depression/anxiety might save lives, it seems to curb the explosive creative energies that come from suffering artists. You get some, you lose some.

Man I know some people don't like the Guardian, but that's a bit too far
What is it with men these days? You can hear the cry in his voice and talk about legal action. He clearly has no concept of honor, like a woman.

Huh, judging from the comments, the guy was onto something.

Has anyone claimed responsibility for the attack?

Indeed. But I am flattered you assumed
Ben is not yet in university
While the Nye video pretty much represents society ruled by its base desires instead being in control of them, i find the bolded part more interesting. Tell me more about this, what kind of university did you attend where people talked like children?I think this is a Suitable response.
Val, I would say you are like a sixteen year old, but to be honest, you remind me more of my class four years ago. Whenever someone would even say "sex", "****" or, god forbid, "vagina" everyone would scream "eeeeeeeeewwwwww", end of the conversation.
People have sexual fantasies. It's a thing. People want to live these sexual fantasies. That's a thing too. And a good one.
EDIT: censoring p€nis but not vagina? Really?
So four years ago, we're talking ages between 11 and 12.
Ah, oh dear, the fire of righteous youth is strong in you.
Oh how you will laugh at your former self when you are 33, married, in debt and a child on the way.

On the mildly diverting, the question has to be asked... are they specifically trying to look sinister?
- The guy on the left seems to be embarressed to share energy with the two other guys
- The guy in the middle realizes that his energy isn't shared, it's fact depleting
- Trump is happily stealing their energy, what a bunch of bakas
What's this silly thing with glowing globes and chrystals? What's next? checking the milk from the cow? reading the future from the bottom of a coffee cup?

In the never ending cycle of "how to make this story more fantastical than the last", it appears our most benevolent leaker and world hero revealed the “most valuable source of information on external plotting by Islamic State.”.
Ok, that was even more hilarious than i expected.
