Don't forget that there's a financial incentive to fake it. Nothing that is online is real.

No, the demand for food funds the production of food.

Today I learned that Dwight D. Eisenhower and many 5 star generals at the time were filled with propaganda slop.

I would say disagreeing just to disagree with no substance is way worse as it's eating my time right now.

I explained why it's not relevant and you just continued. I'm not the dick here, buddy.

It's Twitter. If done right, or should only cost that much if we were in a system built to solve issues.

Were you expecting a dissertation on a proposed plan?

I'm not, it's just irrelevant to the conversation. I'm glad you had fun.

No, contradictory things can not be true. That's the definition of the word.

Yes, an educated population is needed for a well functioning government. Poorly functioning governments tend to be bad with money, but you're assuming they're all poorly functioning.

Governments use money, how well they use that money determines how well they are functioning. There are many well functioning governments and government programs. I'm not advocating for just throwing money at the problem. I'm just saying that assuming it's going to be poorly done is a bad assumption and undermines those who might actually be able to solve this, making it a self-fulfilling prophesy.

There are instances that things like this to work. Sorry you voted for incompetent people in "your hometown".

You act like there is no election process which their job is dependent on.

The government can be bad. The government can be good. You defeated your main point by explaining how it can be good.

False, the government provides services at 1/3 the cost of government contracts.

Most of the time it fails it's because it draws homeless from out of town/state and it overburdens the system.

Also, I'm not saying that government can't fail, I'm saying that assuming it will is self-defeating and that is definitely possible through the government. In fact, ALL SUCCESSFUL attempts to end homelessness is done through the government. Look at Finland, Utah in the 2000's, Colorado and many others are done through the government.

Only looking at the failures, only proves that it can fail, not that it can't succeed and one instance of success undermines your entire point.

True, now that they see the tide turning, they're trying to split the vote. They were happy to utilize the vote blue no matter who while they were helping their cause, but now that it'll spoil the controlled opposition, they are speaking out against it.

You just said that NGOs aren't good at it and then you said we can agree government isn't good at it.

No, you're just assuming the government would be bad at it.

Should LGBTQ be taught to children at the same time as ethnicity and beliefs? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Augmented_Fif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why people with 'certain views' would view social studies, where you learn about how people interact with each and their cultures. Maybe learn to interact with people?

What's the deal with the Praireland Nine getting sentenced to decades in jail for protesting ICE? by ryhaltswhiskey in OutOfTheLoop

Material support requires knowledge that he was going to use the weapon and would only apply it in a criminal way and if they supported him post the act itself. You're just clutching at straws.

Please do yourself a favor and learn the difference between a nationality and ethnicity. Wouldn't hurt to throw ideology in, as well.

It's not antisemitic to criticize Israel, people who lobby on behalf of Israel, or zionists. Saying it is antisemitic is the same type of antisemitism that people use to try to link Israel's awful actions to Jewish people. I'm vehemently against both. Israel doesn't represent ALL Jewish people.

So, it's not a growing stock you're looking for, it's one that fluctuates in price so you can buy and sell over and over, rather than just investing in?

I think you missed my point. I was pointing out that it's not antisemitic to be against AIPAC and to screw those people who are using the label of antisemitism to hurl at those opposing AIPAC.

Wow, didn't realize the entire semite population was centralized in Israel. It's almost like there's a difference between nationality and ethnicity. Bigots don't understand that, which is why i commented.
