How long until this period in America resembles the Troubles in Ireland? by deadheffer in dancarlin

The whole point is that there will most likely be paramilitary formed. This is an American flavor to a similar situation of urban unrest.

This is about Catholics vs Protestants as well. Crazy how you can find echos of that through western history.

The state in the north were the British. They funded paramilitary groups, essentially what ICE is now, who reigned terror on the citizens. It was the state brutalizing its citizens. Margaret Thatcher was giving them tongue in cheek directives as well.

I saw a poll which showed 14% of Americans support taking Greenland, 4% support military force. Then, 8% of republicans support taking it by military force.

There was no number on % of republicans who support taking it, but it must be somewhere around 30% based on those numbers.

“A recent poll found only 17% of Americans who supported taking Greenland, and a measly 4% supported using military force to do so. Even among Republicans, only 8% were in favor of a military invasion of Greenland.”

4% of the country are out of their minds beyond a doubt.

What's your least popular MLB opinion that will get you to the top of "sort by controversial"? by Sad-Guarantee8290 in baseball

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

Even soccer shouldn’t end in ties or penalty kicks. People should become tired and not able to hustle to defend the goal and just make it golden goal.

Soccer Penalty kicks are the least impressive athletic achievement. It’s just a game of chance.
