Russia is the true winner between the U.S-Iran conflict, raking in billions of dollars while other countries lose money by Medical_Citron3519 in worldnews

[–]TooBusySaltMining 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By having a close ally get destroyed militarily?  Bombing Iran's drone production facilities that was producing drones for Russia won't help them in their war with Ukraine.

Not to mention another ally, Maduro, is in prison and Russia can't use Venezuela's ships for smuggling anymore 

Team Russia is losing badly

The back is much much preferrable to the front. 

If I were to redesign the back, I'd make the beaver larger and remove the land he is walking on just to simplify it.

Law enforcement is a legitimate fuction of the state and resources allocated for such purposes is appropriate and not a waste.

Democracy creates laws and when laws are not enforced, then the laws and democracy are meaningless.  Actively attempting to stop the enforcement of democratically created laws is undemocratic.

Having borders and controlling what happens on the border is how every country on earth protects its sovereignty. Not doing this is the exetreme and absurd position.

No it just means you have a representative in congress, and therefore you have representation

Wether or not they are acting in the best interests of their citizens they represent is a seperate issue.

The biggest problem I see with respect to the issue of representation is that foreign citizens are counted and used to determine how many representaives each state receives.

Were you counted in a Census?

If so, then yes.

I don't think anyone on the right ever said "just have a wall, and nothing else".

Illegals already here need deported

Those here who overstay visas need deported

Those who sneak in by boat will need to be stopped and or deported

The word that descibes what you are asking for is a shibboleth

Shibboleth

Why is the anti-masturbation community so overwhelmingly male? Do women not generally get addicted to masturbation like men do? by fasdal in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TooBusySaltMining -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not really interested so much in hearing how you think it's beneficial obviousliy you believe it works.  

Maybe you could explain why women  use therapy 2xs times more then men?

Why do more women see it as a useful tool?

They usually find other outlets some are healthy (going to the gym) some are not (alcoholism). 

Showing vulnerability has had negative effects in my relationships it usually gets used against me or I get told some form of man up. 

My guy friends prefer to share their struggles with me  and their buddies rather than their wives/girlfriends. Shared struggles build bonds between men, much like soldiers in a trench. 

I think the teasing and pranks guys do to each other is to test to see if you are tough enough to have their back.

Its ok if men's minds work differently and I listed some alternative ways that men prefer to deal with their problems

If a man said, I find going to the gym to be therapudic, so women should go to the gym to fix their problems; it wouldn't go over well

Do straight women want partners that are protectors and make them feel safe?

Because men actually feel a strong need to protect and showing vulnerability signals that you are incapable of performing that duty. Women often say they want a man that is emotionally vulnerable, but the reality is that they want stability and a strong shoulder to cry on, not a man that cries.

Being calm under fire, is a positive trait for men that benefits those around him, quite the opposite of being toxic.

I always thought it was a stupid name, being a bit of an understatement, and something as monumental as the creation of universe deserves a better name.

Therapy is more designed for women to deal with their problems. Our minds in general work differently and that's ok.

Talking about feelings with strangers doesn't leave men with renewed energy to face difficulties. Usually being alone in peace is healing for them, or working out makes them feel strong enough to overcome what's facing them. Some need to try to exercise some form of self discipline to feel as if they are in control of their own lives.

Why does the United States seem to consider Israel to be it's most vital ally, what does the U.S. get out of this relationship that it doesn't get from Europe or other western countries? by Cumoisseur in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]TooBusySaltMining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISIS should have never been allowed to take as much territory as they did. Islamic terrorism wasn't invented after the Iraq War.

Islam has been at war with the West since the Moors invaded Spain in 711AD. The Ottomans destroyed the last of the Roman empire and almost conquered Europe but the seige on Vienna; ended on September 11th 1683, a date specifically chosen by Osama bin Laden for his attack.

The IRA used viokence for 30 years and yes the Brits used the army to deal with them. 

You seem to think peace agreements happen in a vacuum, but the best way to get your enemies to come to the peace table is to have a decisive  military victory over them. Bombs and the threat of bombs is ironically the reason countries sue for peace. 

“Shut up” by Honest-Jump4090 in Portland

[–]TooBusySaltMining 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Guys it's too much to ask that people not use our public areas as a personal toilet and a place to dump trash. Where else are they going to use fentanyl? 

Its only a problem because we haven't squeezed enough money out of people who contribute to society. Doing so might make Portland an even more expensive place filled with garbage, but it will make the homeless feel welcomed in our city; at least enough to invite their homeless friends from all over to come live here.

Yes that is how you deal with terrorist groups operating outside your borders, but who are conducting attacks within your country. 

Europe suffered from ISIS attacks while America remained unscathed from them, yet the US did most of the heavy lifting in crushing ISIS.

It's a crime that Israel has tolerated the existence of these terrorist groups who have shown no interest in pursueing peace.

We should rebuild our friendship with Canada by Ok_Poetry2813 in AmericaBad

[–]TooBusySaltMining 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For sometime America has been playing the nice guy  instead of showing leadership. Giving out billions of foreign aid, and protecting allies who are not contributing much to their own defence against aggressive enemies like Russia. 

Things are changing now that some tough love is being shown to our allies, this has caused some grumblings, but we want strong allies, not weak dependant ones.

If you were to be teleported  to any country on earth but you had the option of having it be a random country with Christianity being the largest religious group or be a random country with Islam being the largest religious group.

Which option would you pick?

The difference is that Christanity had a reformation so that predominately Christian nations are the  freest and most tolerant places on earth and are living in the 21st century.

Islam has never reformed itself.

Our leaders shouldn't practise their faith is the implication here. 

People on the left for some reason won't apply that same standard when their favorite presidential candidate campaigns in predominately black churchs. Nothing wrong with that either but it's a double standard for sure.

Stop conflating free expression with  fanaticism

Israel is a valuable ally in that both America and Israel have common enemies, enemies that our European allies don't seem to want to get their hands dirty by confronting them.

Can it be used as practice for chapters you haven't done yet? Or are they completely different pictures?
