  1. Can I ask you a question, aren't you concerned about the numerous concerning comments Trump has made about USA foreign policy and he would do things? When all the choices are bad what does that matter? Bluster and arrogance on one hand vs. cowardice and obeisance to enemies on the other. Who's cowardly and displaying obeisance toward enemies?Anyone but Sanders because they don't want to destroy the banks.
  2. No, you have to be a citizen at the time of birth, which means either you are born in the US or one of your parents were a US citizen. It only got obfuscated because some people thought Obama was born in Kenya, which wouldn't have mattered because his mother was a US citizen. So Trump is an edgy teenager and Sanders becomes a ghost?
  3. Oh, I thought this thread was about how the EU pushing neoliberalism is destroying the standard of living in Europe.
  4. Bruce, I don't give a **** what you think. You're a rich guy who works in banking and I'm a working class guy working my way through college. Our material interests are completely different and as someone who does not benefit from the economic system in place nor is hindered by false morality, I have no stake in preserving the prevailing system that is relying on increasingly authoritarian measures(such as CISA and TPP/whatever the europoor version is) to keep itself afloat that affect me in highly negative manners. You're not going to convince me to follow your worldview because I've heard it all before and you're terrible at arguing for anything. Just deal with it or gtfo. I will now go back to posting Sanders memes that will trigger conservacucks and lolbertarians.
  5. It seems me much of it is role-playing from the comfort of pseudoanonymity so perhaps not being tied to real life emboldens some to voice their seldom revealed opinions or act edgy. So the phenomenon of clickbait is the logical response given material conditions to such internet radicalism.
  6. Opposition to what? Aside from the conspiracy bluster they don't really say anything outside the mainstream of liberalism(in pol-sci terms). I see it as a containment forum for the chemtrails-, UFOs-, flouride in water- and etc-people out there. So /x/lite?

  8. First thing I heard about when I woke up this morning. Not sure how to feel, kind of a numb shock with him and Lemmy going so close.
  9. I saw hateful eight and laughed way too much. Overall it was pretty good, but the ending was too predictable after chapter 4. At any rate was a good time and will probably watch again sometime.
  10. Apparently my privilege doesn't exist. At any rate I'm slightly drunk and am waiting for another hour to go out and get up to some regrettable acts.
  11. So how long until the kickstarter to finish the second half of the game?
  12. Well I'm 24 now. Time to celebrate with lots of drinking, bad music, and doing unpostable things. Then back to work and worrying about making my car payment and having enough for a couple of classes.
  13. I agree on the point that austerity is a bad solution to Greece debt but OTOH they mishandled their loans more than once so that now they ****ed themselves up. A short term solution would be to engage in Communism where the state provides the populace while paying off the debt, but that would never work because it would impossible to get that many people to share the same goal. Nope, Greece has ****ed itself up and like other European countries I wish them luck in their descent into far right politics and I'll see them in WWIII. The best short-term solution would have been a fiscal policy aimed at economic growth and using the later surplus(es) to pay off the debt when the Greek economy could handle austerity. In it's current form all austerity does is depress the Greek economy and actually prevents them from paying off their debt in a sustainable manner. It's funny how the EU is creating the conditions for another fascist regime(s) despite being created to prevent that. "would have" You're talking past tense; yes it would have been better for Greece to use their loans to promote economic growth but they didn't. Right now they have no major industry that will get them out of debt and they are steadily becoming a third world country (if they're not one already). The EU with their libertarian views plus the influx of middle eastern immigrants are pushing Europe into the far right, when instead it should be focusing on creating jobs. Such as using Greek labor force to produce as an alternative to paying off debts with hard currency. But it seems that the only thing that the are trying to solve multilaterally is how to get more Muslims into Europe. I'm going by what Varoufakis said he recommended during negotiations. But I have to agree with you, Greece is in a situation it can't get out of and given the popularity of the Golden Dawn will probably become a fascist state. I guess WWIII is going to come from Europe after all.
  14. Sorry KP but I had already started on the GG article ...please can we have our debate later? Bruce if you're too scared to face the fact austerity has been a massive failure just admit it, but dragging a thread into a debate on an internet squabble between various identity politics addicted liberals who whiteknight for the innocent publishers is a cowardly escape.
  15. Bruce I know you don't like to address arguments, but if you want to change the subject to avoid it there's probably a better thread for it.

  17. Reality is, that they dug their own grave themselves. now they just have to pay off the debt. Take it as a form of punishment for being "edgy" enough to avoid paying taxes and milking public money. I still remember the funny view when like almost every house had a metal pipe sticking out to prove a point that it is still under construction or some such and they did not pay the full property tax (that was Crete 14 years ago). After all thieves who get caught get to prison and ruin their lives, same goes for Greeks who thought they are too smart for anyone to find out about their lies. And they are now in a situation where they can't pay off the debt. As it is they are in a situation where they will be continually bailed out by the EU while their state owned utilities are bought up by private owners. If you've got an argument on how Greece is going to pay off their debt in a depressed economy, make it instead of repeating the same thing. The social engineering is coming from your neoliberals and their obsession with austerity and worship of the market. It should come as no surprise that the recent austerity and privatization in Greece has resulted in Greek women whoring themselves out to eat and German businesses buying up recently privatized utilities. Because austerity in a depressed economy does that. So have fun you guys in the PIGS, if you're lucky enough to land a low-wage job just think of how your hard work is benefiting some kraut. But I'm sure Merkel is a closet commie and all these private enterprises are just fronts for the coming socialist vanguard. KP I don't mean to criticize you but this view you have of Greece being bullied and somehow being the victim in the whole EU austerity measures concerns me immensely because I don't understand why you can believe that, I know you and I have argued about this in the past and I was hoping someone else would engage with you because I cant seem to convince you why the EU Troika was and is correct to enforce austerity But I would like to debate this again with you if you want to? And the irony is I do want you to have a positive view of the EU which is why I want you to get the right information so I'm not doing this to prove I know more than you Bruce the last time we had this argument you just said austerity is good and we should ignore unemployment or wage stagnation. When pressed you couldn't back this up and repeated yourself without providing any sort of proof or an argument. If you can make a coherent argument I'll be convinced, but judging from your track record on this forum you'll fail to convince me and convince others I'm right.
  18. I'm talking about reality, not hypotheticals. And reality is that through austerity Greece is now in a situation where it can't pay off its debt. The future for Greece is one of declining standard of living in the short term and the migration of Greeks to low wage jobs throughout Europe and the rise of an extremist government.

  20. Clearly that is Jewish lies.
  21. A serial killer game where you have to outwit investigators to avoid being caught. A super smash brothers like game but featuring gods and other fictional myths instead of nintendo characters. A rtwp rpg with an isometric view featuring infiltration and squadbased combat in a modern day or near future universe. A RPG with a well designed classless system, no filler content, good turnbased combat, interesting and reactive narrative, easy modding, and multiplayer functionality. Preferably with a weird fantasy or science fantasy setting. An apocalypse game that takes place during an apocalyptic event and sees your character or party or whatever trying to survive. Think Fallout during the great war.
  22. Ideology doesn't require spirituality.define spirituality please because it seems you have very limited view on that term the quality or state of being concerned with religion or religious matters : the quality or state of being spiritual just change wording from relgion to ideology and that sentence have completely same sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirituality Spirituality may refer to almost any kind of meaningful activity,[1][note 1]personal growth, or blissful experience.[3] Traditionally, spirituality refers to a process of re-formation of the personality[4] but there is no precise definition of spirituality My point was that religion uses a spiritual basis while ideology uses a logical basis, in that ideology is typically formed around a logical conclusion while religion is based around mystical events.
  23. Atheism is more ideology, the ideology that spirituality is ultimately meaningless. Otherwise ideology and religion are pretty much the same in that they encourage people to support unreasonable stuff and blind to the obvious.
