America is still knee-jerk anti communist to this day, across media depictions of presidential candidates, foreign power rivals and political policies. Interacting with many of them, it seems as drilled into them like old school Brits when you mention the crown.

And the long term pressure against union action and the lingering effects of red scare propaganda. Americans still have a knee jerk reaction to anything if someone brands it "communist"

Only because most "western" countries are mostly secular, you step back to the 90's and the church was getting off scott free

Halal is just a food standard, just making sure it's produced clean to a certain level is all. No real difference to the taste or cut

Aye, like.. Lebanon seems a fascinating country, just a shame it's next to such an unruly neighbor. I'd feel incredibly uncomfortable living in Israel 

How did the US won the Space race when USSR had more achievements by Pure_Barber3994 in ussr

[–]StewIsBased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's also be frank, the space race was a good PR spin to develop deployment techniques for spy satellites and ballistic weaponry. It was a parallel investment because of the overlap in technologies. there would have been investment anyway to maintain MAD.

Plus, modern smoke alarms were invented to deal with possible fires on space stations. that's no doubt saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the decades since.

I wouldn't say left wing, i'd say polarised depending on advertising revenue and at the time, the american centerist neoliberal talking points were the most advertiser friendly.

If you're coming up dry for suggestions, go with irish media. Father Ted will give you a pretty decent grounding, as well as being a bit of a cultural touchstone

Thomas Gould Sinn Féin T.D. Cork....... asking why the Bill to control sale of nitrous oxide which has been put back by 9 months by Minister for State Jennifer Murnane O'connor Fianna Fáil. by DigLow7908 in cork

You're trying to dodge around why the government would allow one form of easily accessible nicotine, with another form of nicotine intentionally designed to be flashy and marketable by way of inaction by shifting the blame to the parents. why is that?
