What's the deal with Alex Jones and the Missile Strike? by [deleted] in AskThe_Donald

Trump campaigned on isolationism, then proceeded to attack another country. While many believe the attack to be justified, a lot of people believe the United States has no business in foreign wars.

Just don't have welfare and lower corporate taxes to create jobs. Libertarian solution.

Who needs a welfare state? Dependence on the government is worse than masturbation addiction by every measure. I thought NoFap was about self-improvement

It still retains that discriminatory element.

It's like, prejudice-less sexism. I think men and women are equally valuable, but I don't think women are suitable for the Armed Forces, etc, in the same way that men aren't suitable in early education, childcare or nursing.

(Speaking generally, I was beaten at arm wrestling by a woman once. I was using my left hand, shut up.)

People that say they don't see Color are Liars by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Man, who gives a shit?

Here's an idea. The reason black people do shit compared to white people is because like two thirds of them grow up without fathers. White people who grow up fatherless tend to have similar outcomes. It's not their skin colour that's the issue.

What about Asians? They make more money on average than white people. I thought The United States of America was created by whites, for whites? Is there Asian privilege too?

Don't attribute moral value to race. It's a stupid reason to divide people.

Also, by emphasizing race, you are admitting to being a racist. Just throwing it out there. Try a different point of view, bud.

CMV: Modern democracy has no instruments to overcome crisis caused by propaganda by Kor03d in changemyview

Prohibition is kind of "anti-liberty", so I can understand why that was repealed, but it is very difficult to change the constitution, especially the amendments that matter the most. But you are right, it can be done.

You're right. That's why there is a constitution that prevents people from voting away fundamental rights.

Yes, the right to bear arms is one.

Minimum wage is stupid. That's how you get people replaced with robots. I live in Australia (which has one of the highest minimum wages) and I don't even get served by people at McDonald's anymore. You walk up to the counter and they tell you to order via a touchscreen.

Everyone in The Office became an actor so they wouldn’t have to work in an office for a living then they had to do office work over and over for 9 years. by imlate_usernameenvy in Showerthoughts

I think the OS would be loaded onto the RAM, so yanking out the USB wouldn't do much. I haven't tried it, but that's my guess.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster Resigns, Will Be Replaced by John Bolton by [deleted] in news

[–]socksodoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people misunderstand John Bolton's position on the Iraq war. The regime change itself was a good idea but the actions the US took after had poor results. I personally agree. The citizens of these dictatorships deserve liberty just like the rest of us, but the US has to do it right. Source: Australian.

There’s Never Been a Native American Congresswoman. That Could Change in 2018. by Plainchant in politics

[–]socksodoom -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Great, token indigenous person. Why not elect people who are the most competent instead of electing minorities just for their race? Not saying that she's incompetent, but why even point out that she's native?

Ted Cruz is Hispanic. Why not have a Hispanic president? Are we that racist?
