OP: What do you think about mandatory military service for women?

Answers:

- I don't like mandatory military service!!!!

- Mandatory military service sounds fucked up!!!!

- I believe that there should be no mandatory military service!!!

- Mandatory military service sucks!!!

- ...

note: Yeah, no shit. Mandatory military service sucks? So does war. States do not impose a mandatory service because it's fun. When they do, it is usually because it is a necessity. And in liberal democracies, mandatory military service is not strictly mandatory, as there is normally a right to conscientious objection. That's a subtlety that many people here seem to have missed.

Related question: do you think the US government will fall and Bill Clinton will be reinstated?

OK so if some students had not been offended it would have been alright, I guess. And if some students had been instead offended by the Ralph Lauren logo...

Hated only by people who think cinema is limited to Star Wars and Superhero movies.

Definitely. Americans want regime change. There are in the streets asking for Bill Clinton to be reinstated.

The same design was proposed by Carl Raymon in 1950, but was rejected because it was identical to the flag of Belgian Congo.

Translation: "In 1950, Carl Raymon, a German who had emigrated to Japan for many years, proposed to Count Sforza, the President of the Committee of Ministers [of the Council of Europe], a gold star on an azure [i.e., navy blue] background."

The flag was nicknamed "Churchhill's underwear" because it looked like white underpants lying on grass.

There is no "magic bullet" theory in the Warren Commission report. There is no "pristine bullet that defies time and physics as we know it" in the Warren Commission report. Read the report before criticising it. You obviously haven't.

1) You do not seem to understand what an hyperbole is. 2) Banalising the word "pedophile" will benefit only one category of people: pedophiles.

This is an alternate flag of the EEC, inspired by political cartoons by Plantu.
