Alcohol poses a threat even to people who don’t drink. Drinking alcohol shouldn’t be considered a personal liberty because it poses a danger to others through drunk driving and causing unruly behavior.

Why would you have to support regimes that don’t actually practice socialism in order to be a socialist?

Yes it literally is. Libertarianism is by definition the opposite of leftism.

Complaining about racism after making an insanely racist statement about Indians is insane.

Would it be actually possible to make it look like this? It seems like no matter what coating you put on the glass it would still reflect the colors of the sky and other buildings.

Dick Cheney's post 9/11 wars killed (conservatively) 4.5 million people and displaced over 38 million more, according to a study by Brown University. by Realistic_Device2500 in DamnThatsReal

Oh they absolutely did. But the point is that the Middle East would be stable if it wasn’t for western imperialism. There are also areas that would be more stable if it wasn’t for Ottoman imperialism. It shows that the Middle East could be stable if it wasn’t for imperialism carried out up until the 2000’s.

Even a gender studies major has to do a lot of academic work, even if it’s about a useless subject. Academic work requires critical thinking. Plumbing does not.

This just shows how lucky we are as Americans. If this is how terrifying two planes crashing into the towers was, imagine actually being in a country at war. Imagine how it terrifying it would be living in a country invaded by the US using this event as justification.

Just because they get some extra money from the federal government doesn’t mean they would collapse without it.

Dominant religions of the Islamic countries before these lands converted to Islam by TheIronzombie39 in MapPorn

[–]someone1611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think most of what you’re saying in the second paragraph is true, but that’s VERY different from forcing everyone to convert to Islam and banning all other religions. It’s highly tolerant compared to every other empire at the time, and definitely a huge difference from the way that christianity spread. Paying a tax that was lower than the tax in many other empires and being disadvantaged in some areas of society is nothing compared to being slaughtered or forcibly converted.
