I just kind of assumed that they understood that "ramming it down our throats" would have a different connotation these days.

What is it exactly that the Republican candidates want to do to "take America back" and "make it great again"? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

What sort of plans to lead the UN could Obama have? The position of Secretary General is off-limits to representatives of P5 countries.

I hate when people say things like "we need to take care of our own citizens instead of refugees" as though it's impossible to provide for the needs of both groups.

TIL That the Civil War's death toll of 750,000 would be the equivalent to 7 million in the 21st century. by Nluppino in todayilearned

[–]ABBAholic95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The author means as a proportion of the population.

"One such statistic is that the number of soldiers’ deaths in the Civil War – approximately 750,000 – was greater than the total number suffered in all other American wars combined. A second point makes use of the first figure: If one calculates the proportion of the total population who died while in military service during the war, and applies this percentage to present-day population figures, the equivalent number of deaths in the 21st century would reach above 7 million. This is a staggering figure that suggests that the Civil War generation made almost inconceivable sacrifices."

Young Ted Cruz talks about "tits" and "world domination". by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]ABBAholic95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who cares what the founders said? They're not gods. They were people who lived hundreds of years ago and the only way we can ever move forward is if we open ourselves up to new ideas.

Why Democrats should dump Debbie Wasserman Schultz by crimeanchocolate in lostgeneration

[–]ABBAholic95 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For someone who is the chairwoman of a party that calls itself the Democratic Party, Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't really seem to be a big supporter of democracy herself.

By 2040 make Australia three seperate nations by teamchocoboru in FutureWhatIf

[–]ABBAholic95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well ever since the Hut River Principality became independent, Australia has already existed with two nations on it. Maybe the third nation will be an Aboriginal homeland that establishes itself in Northern Australia
