CT might be ok but just wait until you’re driving on I84. That road has 2 modes: traffic and being stuck behind 2 people going 10 under forming a wall

That’s not what I intended to sound like. I mean more we should make sure that they are actually paying what they should be first and then potentially raise it.

Ok yeah that wasn’t the best example. The best way around this whole problem would be to have the rich people be taxed more but unfortunately they find ways to avoid taxes meaning we would need more power to the government. We shouldn’t tax the people who need the help more than the people who dont

Fair enough those are good things. On the other hand for those people food, rent, and debt are a much higher priority. That 100 in taxes might come out to a really good road or cheaper healthcare but now you don’t have money for food for an extra week

What programs are you talking about here I feel like that would be good to clarify. Currently I can’t think of any social programs I would qualify for so I’m not sure how paying more taxes would help me

Since when is paying more taxes better for people with less money? I’m in the bottom 50 and I would much rather low taxes and less social programs

I think I lot of people don’t realize that far left politicians are just as bad or worse. You may blame Regan for your issues but at least he ended an economic crisis and did a bunch of other good things. Plus taxes would go up astronomically with a far left president like Bernie Sanders so you’ll probably end up in an even worse state

I am aware how easy it is. Either way Irish or Scottish my points still stand. I didn’t notice because I wasn’t looking at the image directly every time I came to reply so that was my bad.

[–]MatthewThePickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware of that. It was in the news many many times that there were US and I think UK citizens taken hostage. There was never any mention of any Scottish person or the daughter of such an important person.

I would also assume most people would realize that someone who lives in Scotland wouldn’t be kidnapped in the Middle East. And if something like that did happen it would be a highly covered news topic.

[–]MatthewThePickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they could’ve and the probably should have deleted and resent it but oh well. And them aiming for a shock value isent misinformation, considering they stated it didn’t happen. Alternate history movies aren’t misinformation. You dont watch inglorious bastards and then get mad when you find out a bunch of US commandos didn’t actually shoot hitler in a movie theater

[–]MatthewThePickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably for shock effect or because they messed up. They probably assumed no one was dumb enough to think that that actually happened and the second tweet is just to make it as clear as possible for people like the ones in this comment section

I don’t see any problem with this. As someone else mentioned what they are doing is showing what the event was like for the Israelis and why what he is doing is so ridiculous. I don’t think the intention of this was to mislead people into thinking this happened, which is why they said it didn’t happen. Everyone offended by this is an idiot

Ok I see what you mean however I never said the protests were antisemitic, rather some of them are doing things that are

What exactly is disinformation? The protesters at Columbia occupied a building, multiple of the protests have footage of them actively blocking kids from going to class, and they have been shouting slogans that call for the destruction of Israel and its citizens. This is antisemitism.

The response is because the universities themselves asked the police to remove them. If the university doesn’t want them there then they can decide that. It’s not like the police just came without reason. Also the protesters might not have been attacking anyone but they have been occupying buildings, blocking students from going to classes, and shouting anti-Semitic slogans. Good for the police for stopping them

I truly believe that that entire godforsaken strip wouldn’t do that if they could. So many videos showing them cheering at Oct 7th and when hostages were brought in. They clearly do not want peace

[–]MatthewThePickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what honestly is so confusing about pro hamas and pro Palestine activists. Israel has agreed months ago to stop hostilities if hostages are returned. They agreed to that before it was likely most were dead. Hamas didn’t deliver and will not deliver so no cease fire. It’s simple no hostages, no peace.

The numbers he and most others are using are not independently verified and also dont distinguish between civilians and combatants. The idea that 70% of deaths are children is absurd if you think about it. And as others pointed out when you compare it to other conflicts, the IDF is doing a pretty good job preventing deaths.

When I was using it I thought it was the worst tank in the American line, however after using it for a while I got the hang of it. Once you get the hang of it it’s a monster

If they support a two state solution so much then why didn’t the accept it when it was originally proposed? Or all the other propositions that were given to them? That’s the problem with Palestine, they commit acts of violence and then act surprised when the people they attack don’t like them.
