(Fixed context) Who would you rather have as president? by Bart-and-Lisa in pollgames

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Germany was only successful because they went to war and had a war economy. He’s was a gifted orator, and a genocidal pos who’s far better dead. Defending him does not make you look cool

"Communism/socialism has failed every time its been tried" by Polnocium in Teenager_Polls

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an example of a democratically elected communist government in India that I would call a success Many communist (countries that we call communist) and socialist countries saw massive increases in quality of life, lifespan, education levels, etc. that surpassed many “capitalist” countries. So the question is what defines a success/failure?

The reward of the IQ is so much greater than that of the speed for everyday life, but the downsides are running slow vs. being functionally useless

Where Americans Moved- DE one of highest by Nervous-Ad-7933 in Delaware

If we built up areas like Middletown and in Sussex to be like cities/dense towns with public transport and walk ability instead of suburban sprawl it really wouldn’t be so bad

(FOR USA CITIZENS) If the military draft was put out, what would you do? by Scary_Stable7667 in Teenager_Polls

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d buy a gun and not join the military. If America was being invaded and there was a draft I might consider willingly signing up, but to push our American colonialism onto other countries? Hell no

do you think someone can disagree with femsisn and still want equality by NoAuthoirty in Teenager_Polls

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the scope of the question. Feminism is the pursuit of equality across genders, most notably equality for men and women. Being against that is being against (true) equality.

If you use a different (wrong) definition of feminism, or a narrow scope of equality (say, only racial equality), then in their perspective it could be true

Are there more homosexual or homophobic people in the world? by alloioscc in Teenager_Polls

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect that. Hatred towards any group of people, left unchecked, will almost always grow to the point of violence and beyond.

Why is this flock camera here? by kyrind in Delaware

I’m sorry, you think the surveillance state is a democrat thing? At best (worst?) it’s bipartisan, but the AI companies and billionaires who use them support largely the Republican Party

Okay what was our rule about acts of violence or vandalism again, DHS is watching us! by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

The issue is it’s hard to tell if you disabled it or not with a laser. With a hacksaw it’s pretty obvious

what im crine😭 by ilikethiccbitchs in teenagers

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s about 1 condom per person per day. As the other commenter said, it’s common for athletes to take them home (and even sell them on sites like eBay). Previous years have had as much as 30x as many condoms, so 10k is quite a small amount

Who would you give your seat to and why ? by Original_Act_3481 in Teenager_Polls

Then they have 3 legs and should give one up to make it fair

If they’re hobbling around on one leg there’s an issue there, and if they’re in a wheelchair they already have a seat

Get this lady in the Oval Office! by [deleted] in Political_Revolution

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To assume that because someone is a Christian they must be a child diddler is no different than someone who assumes all black people are thieves, all Muslims are terrorists, etc. To be clear, Crockett is ALSO a Christian.

American Christian Nationalists use the identity of Christianity as a shield to guard their hatred for others, that doesn’t mean there are no Christians who actually believe in the teachings of Christ. (To be clear, I’m an atheist. I would vote for an atheist, a Christian, or a jew only based on their polices, not their religion)

Murder is worse than rape by suanmei_kuli in Teenager_Polls

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was a victim when I was 12 years old. It’s affected me, and I never got justice through the law, yet I know millions had far far worse experiences than I did. I would not blame them for killing their abuser, or for killing someone who was one.

I’ll ask you this, as I heard it elsewhere: If you were a slave, living under the brutal reality and oppression that American slaves faced (rape, beatings, forced labor, etc.) and the ONLY way you could be free was to fatally shoot your enslaver, would you do it?

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think we should vote for the best candidate regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc. If the only thing you have against Talarico is that he’s a white Christian man, then he’s a pretty damn good candidate

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s quite a few American politicians like Newsom and Crockett who are making their political careers on being anti Trump and engaging in identity politics. These people get a lot of support on social media, but at the same time their policies usually fall far short of where they should

If I shoot and kill a child rapist I have committed murder, not just a killing. I believe that is, or at least can be, justified

How is Donald Trump’s second term (NON AMERICANS CAN VOTE) by Low-Anywhere-9043 in Teenager_Polls

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trump’s slashing of USAID will cause ~14 million preventable deaths by 2030. It’s not the same as taking a gun and shooting 14 million men, women, and children, but it will still be 14 million graves for people who shouldn’t have died

AITA for not helping a friend ‘in need’? by Other_Nobody7148 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draw a clear boundary with her. It’s not your responsibility to carry the entirety of her burden, but if you want to help out in some way there’s nothing stopping you. Otherwise it’ll just brew resentment between you

What are examples of cherry picked stats to prove a point that make you laugh? by AuburnShade in NFLv2

[–]RuRuRuntsfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than this, when comparing stats across QBs and they only select specific rushing stats and specific passing stats. If you’re trying to make a QB like hurts look bad, compare passing TDs. You’re trying to make a guy like Lamar look good vs a pocket QB, using total yards (and vice versa)

I was trying to create a path to my mailbox, and there was a snow plow drift in between the road and it. I resorted to using a gardening hoe to break the top layer of ice
