[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;25099285]You're really dumb. Do you even know why terrorists attacked America (once)?
Gee maybe we should stop sticking our dicks into the Middle East and leave them alone. Perish the thought.[/QUOTE]

we were doing pretty well there most people ignored you so im going to suggest that everyone does the same and not bring religion into this argument, take it to the ann coulter gay marriage thread it's already devolved into a religion shitstorm

Nuking them would be bad, if not worse. If anything, it'll encourage several more people to join terrorism and we would become even worse than the terrorists themselves.[/QUOTE]
That diagram is terrible, not every Muslim is extremist. Pretty much that little dot are the only people that would attack, maybe give a little. Also lol, don't even start on fucking nukes, that's just outrageous.

dumb. he was arguing against nukes, he was arguing against "all muslims are terrorists", you basically just restated what his point was congrats
read the post he quoted and then read his and use a little comprehension.

That diagram is perfectly fine what are you talking about
[QUOTE=AutoTurret;25099397]That diagram is terrible, not every Muslim is extremist. Pretty much that little dot are the only people that would attack, maybe give a little.[/QUOTE]
The chart isn't at all saying that all Muslims are extremists. It's saying exactly what you are pointing out.
[QUOTE=valiant.;25098804]so do you have anything to back up this statement or what
also implying that military spending doesn't go to waste: war is a waste kid, a waste of billions of dollars and millions of lives - military spending will never be better than humanitarian spending[/QUOTE]
We cannot cut military spending. See that pretty computer hooked up to the internet in front of you? yeah that wouldn't be there if you were in power.

No one said kill D/ARPA or anything. We don't need to spend 23% of the total budget on the military to provide a useful defense. Besides, computer networks would have arisen due to research at other institutions that needed large amounts of data. (Such as CERN, who even without ARPANet would have eventually created something very similar to the Internet. Albeit most likely later on.)
Also, DARPA only receives 0.0409% of the DoD's overall budget. It's not like there's much funding to cut there, anyway.

yeah it would me going back in power is not going to bring us back in time to 1960.
jokes aside i understand your point but if i was in power we'd also be saving millions of lives instead of wasting them in the middle east, we'd stop developing 200 kinds of bombs guns tanks etc.
yes the internet started as a military invention but it could have also started as a humanitarian one or as a system to benefit the country just as likely.
for every invention like the internet that comes out of military spending 100 more have the sole purpose of ending life. not that great of a ratio

[QUOTE=zombiefreak;25098400]Most humanitarian spending goes to waste or is given to the wrong people.[/QUOTE]
Humantarian spending in Zombiefreaks eyes is "lessmoneytoPrivatecontractors"

[QUOTE={ABK}AbbySciuto;25099003]Anything dealing with the defense of this "great" country is never wasteful. Also, Virginia is predominantly Democrat. The Democrats are throwing their OWN FUCKING STATE under the bus.
It's called "Peace--through superior firepower." But, you're completely right, valiant. Let's spend billions of dollars on humanitarian needs and negotiations. Let's negotiate with the terrorists who want to chop us up into tiny pieces, set them on fire, then nuke the ashes to eliminate us completely from the universe. That sounds so fucking reasonable (Don't believe me, listen to what Immadinnerjacket says about the USA).[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=s0beit;25097828]Right, we should replace it with a one party government.
We all know how well that works out.[/QUOTE]
Nothing wrong with a single party state. :colbert:

Is it just me, or is paranoia contagious these days?
Republicans are militantly in favor of spending cuts as long as it's someone else's district that takes the cut.

I'd prefer a three-party state but that's just me.

We should abolish all political parties.
[QUOTE=kidwithsword;25097526]This is why I'm disgusted by the US's bipartisan government. It only inhibits progress. Like religion.[/QUOTE]
That's the fucking point you dipshit.
Government should be a slow moving snail of a god damn train who has to exert every effort to slide down the rail.
Which is why the United States has a fairly good balance in it's government as far as left and right.
If the government could get their job done easily you know somethings wrong.

I don't support any party, as I hate all political parties equally. And I mean all of them. Democrats get butthurt quicker than a Alterboy and Republicans are quicker to moan than my Ex. All parties suck. All british parties suck too. All french parties suck. They all suck.
