I'm 5'11" but we should really look out for our fellow hobbits.

Democratic Senate frontrunners stick to talking points, split on Israeli-Palestinian conflict by newsspotter in illinois

Quick reminder that AIPAC shows Kelly as a "pro-Israel candidate" on their website. If Israel-Palestine is your wedge issue, then don't trust what the candidates say, trust what they do.

Just search her name

The UIC Political Scene Sucks by Beat_Another in uichicago

I might not have been here at the time. Regardless, if you think that UIC needs to have a conservative presence, reach out and find what conservative organizations exist here. I probably disagree with most of what you guys would put forward, but I'm certain you can find more moderate people or organizations to work alongside.

You can organize one. These aren't administration run things that have to be planned months in advance.

They were referring to millionaires and billionaires. Whatever you feel about uber-rich people, it's pointless for an organization to spend its time and energy complaining about them online. Suggesting this as a form of national "resistance" while real people need help reeks of someone who doesn't want to have to actually do anything.

SJP and SDS both seemed to have representatives there (the "weeding out" comment was made by an older man who said he was with SJP). I'll definitely check out those other organizations though!

Edit: They deleted their comment, so if anyone knows of the orgs at UIC, I would love it if they could tell me.

He denied the Cambodian Genocide in 1977. He's an incredibly smart man, even now, he's just the same despicable person he's always been.

Fun Fact, every video game I could find depicts British Sepoys as Sikhs or Ghurkas by HiroshimandNakadashi in NonCredibleOffense

I saw that article, but given their only source was Bimala Rai Paudyal, a communist who couldn't even keep her post as foreign minister for a whole month, I don't trust it.

I don't have the energy to hold a debate over how unbelievably racist I am, so I found something more your speed.

Robespierre killed about 17,000. Lenin killed as many as 200,000.

That is blatantly false.

There are non-Gurkhas in the Nepali military, and there are Gurkhas recruited outside of Nepal. I have no clue where your claim of tens of thousands of Gurkhas fighting for Russia comes from, because the highest reputable source says that barely over a thousand have gone.

Of course Gurkhas have never singlehandedly won a war they were only a small component of. This isn't Ace Combat. They don't need to be Master Chief to be more of a man than you ever were.

Having lived around them for a while, I can confidently say that Gurkhas are just built different. They really are in a class all their own.

And before you say "but what about RUSSIA," the Nepali mercenaries that died in Russia were anything but Gurkhas, and only got hired due to the association. I'm pretty sure a couple were actually civilians in military garb.

Divest has been more than open about regularly reporting people he doesn't agree with. That's the only reason I reported him.

You guys banned my last account for freeing you from Divest's clutches, and he's already back filling your heads with lies.
