Oooh, now he is on the mountain yelling Drago.
That's what I'm afraid of. I'm not entirely sure you're joking. I sent you a message, check it out.
Okay. I like the movies, but I know that Rocky isn't the embodiment of America.
The American Dream lies with the Middle Class. Not a rich actor
I know that, I was joking aroun
The American dream is just propaganda produced by the central bank to keep the sheeple happy. You only buy into it because of GMOs and chemtrails.
*tips fedora*
I like your cowboy hat.
Damn libtards
Happy fourth hour of the fourth day of the seventh month of the 238th year of our grand republic
*eats hot dog as eagle majestically flys above.
I feel so America today, I may just fly to England and smack-a the Queen in the face.
There is currently a hurricane outside.
AMERICA.
Sunshiny where I live. Haha.
But, seriously, don't die.
Yay America!
This happens a lot around here, actually.
New england swag.
Hey dudes. Humph, that story about Subway is awesome.
Do any of you know anything about Czechoslovakia's response to the Great Depression? I'm trying to research the subject but I can't find anything of use.
Czechoslovakia's response?
You mean the world wide depression and not the American one right?
Perhaps these can help

I looked at those. One source is inaccessible and the other one is biased.
Oh. I can access the first one personally.
Yes, I do declare that I enjoy sitting in AMERICA drinking my red, white, and blue smoothies. Does your tea and crumpets taste good, guvna?
Don't worry, I don't need the information anymore.
"I do declare"? Are you from Savannah or something? :P
I don't drink tea, but holy sh*t do I love crumpets.
I've never had a crumpet
Injuna, Joja? Doesn't really matter. They're both AMERICAN. Do you know why I hate Europe? Europe has not won [B]one[/B] super bowl title. Come on, step up you tongue-tied Nazis.
I don't even know what they look like.
Have we win a Fifa Title?
Same here

Church Pancake Breakfast.
Hella parades.
And I'm in charge of The Flag Raising Ceremony by the Boy Scouts
Ew, religious events. Happy 'Murica day, though.

Yeah....
It's not bad like I said.
Plus. Free Pancakes.
Hey, that's where I am from.
No offense, TNUS, it's just something that Savannians are known to say.

I'm from the City of Warner Robins.
The city with the Air Force Base
Oh, no offense taken. I'm just proud of my home-city. :)
Oddly, when I lived in Atlanta, people were surprised that I was from Savannah, because I apparently don't sound Southern at all.
Time to revisit an extremely controversial topic: the troops. From a Salon article linked below:
"In addition to donating change to the troops, we are repeatedly impelled to support our troops or to thank our troops. God constantly blesses them. Politicians exalt them. We are warned, If you cant stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. One wonders if our troops are the ass-kicking force of P.R. lore or an agglomeration of oversensitive duds and beggars. Such troop worship is trite and tiresome, but thats not its primary danger. A nation that continuously publicizes appeals to support our troops is explicitly asking its citizens not to think. It is the ideal slogan for suppressing the practice of democracy, presented to us in the guise of democratic preservation."
http://www.salon.com/2013/08/25/no_thanks_i_wont_support_the_troops/
What are your thoughts on this article and its implications? Is 'uniform worship' a dangerous prospect in the Western World? Is it a made-up problem? Are the troops distinct from the politicians that send them off to war? You tell me.
From what I've read, it's a boondoggler's paradise. Politicians that represent military areas are usually very secure in office, since they can bring home so much more pork for their constituents.
Uniform worship is an insulting thing to say. You should be proud of those who sign up and put their lives on the line to defend our country.
What the politicians do should NOT weigh in the soldiers.
Yeah. Very much so.
The Mayor lives in my neighborhood so I've been going over and talking about politics and ideas on city issues.
Post self-deleted by Albenia.
The troops are idiotic and completely unaware of what they are fighting for.
Quite the generalization.
Wow.....
I'm sorry you feel that way.
They kill and they don't even know why. They aren't protecting our freedom, they are just being glorified for murdering people.
Not at all.
They sign up to protect our rights. They put their life on the line to defend freedom across the world.
Fun fact. More than 26 children have been killed by drone strikes this year. How is that protecting our freedom? The sign up, because the need money for college.
Collateral Damage.
They sign up to serve our country.
What the Government and Commanding Officers tels them to do isn't their fault. They should take accountability for what they did but it's not Wiley their fault.
This guy celebrated his "independence " by over sleeping and will probably be late to his wage Slave job. Take that you capitalist pigs!
But I'm serous when I say the beastie boys fought more for freedom than any soldiers have in the last 200 odd years.
I love you, Lack.
I did not push any opinion. I asked a neutral question.
It's always good to get active in local politics.
Those aren't soldiers. Drone strikes are done by overpaid, out-of-touch DoD bureaucrats who'd never dream of serving in active duty. But I agree with you that drone strikes are evil. Kinda makes you wonder who the real terrorists are in this war.
Pev.
I was using the term "you" as a general statement.
And if you begin to suggest America is terrorist...We fight Terrorism because it is evil (We shouldn't but we are)
Go ahead and define "terrorism" for the class, if you don't mind
Everything from the Salon is garbage.
Any action used to instill fear in the citizens of a country through use of Violent methods.
I would argue that is also applicable to war I
Something the us is rather fond of
I 100% support the war against international militant Salafi-Jihadism.
Why? It's our fault that the Muslims are angry.
I didn't know you're a Boy Scout. So was I, I specialized in flag etiquette. I have executed 267 flag retirements in my life. And I served on the Indiana State Boy Scout Honor Guard, we did a ceremony for Bush when he visited Indy.
That's pretty dang cool.
That is arguable. The "Muslims" were angry long before the Gulf War. I'd say it has more to do with the fall of the last Caliphate in WWI, resulting in the partition of the Arab lands into a bunch of meaningless nations (Jordan). Pan-Arabism has, without a doubt, horribly failed. Perhaps they believe Pan-Islamism, brought about by military Jihad, will bring them into some sort of new Islamic Golden Age.
Besides, that is irrelevant.
The war should be fought because it is necessary to ensure the security of the United States, her European allies, and her Middle-Eastern allies. The wars in Syria and Iraq are a breeding ground for terror. There are a handful of Americans and thousands of Europeans fighting in Syria, the vast majority of them for Jabhat an-Nusra (al-Qa'ida) or the Islamic State.
Even if we do nothing to confront this threat, they will attack us, due to the nature of their savage ideology. There are western Jihadis in Syria and Iraq calling for the black flag to fly over Buckingham, over DC, etcetera. We should do everything we can to make sure that they do not have the capabilities to attack our people.
It's humpy of course it's cool.
I am pretty cool. *rides into rainbow on golden griffon*
*wishes someone would argue with me about this*
Go ISIS!
That is odd.
They officially took out the "fil-'iraq wash-Sham," anyway, so it is no longer ISIS.
What is it now?
and how is that odd?
The Islamic State.
You know why.
so it's just.... "IS" now?
And yeah I think I know why....I just wanna see a new country.
I disagree, but am at work so I'll rebuttal at a latter tinme
For the record I'm on a lunch break. Just incase my employer has access to the NSA
I'll bite, TNUS.
I'm not referring to Muslims, but I am referring to the extremists when I say that they're savages who just want to impose their religion on everyone else. But you have to wonder whether there'd be so many of them if we didn't bomb them so much. If we get hit, hit back hard. But this is is an un-winnable war against an ideology that can only go away if we spread the ideals of peace and freedom, not by force, but by voluntary interaction.
Why do Republicans keep acting like Mitt Romney was a good candidate?
Its only the Establishment faction trying to bring down the Tea Party Facton.
Not really. A lot of conservatives on the internet, conservative Facebook pages and conservative commentators still harp on about how great Romney is as if he's still relevant. The plain truth is that, objectively speaking, every Republican Presidential candidate since Reagan left office has been awful.
They liked him. He was the perfect Republican. That party had their hand so far up his rear you can call him Mitt.
Because Republicans don't understand their party is another establishment party.
Also think about this, Obama is going to hell in popularity. Now people are thinking that things would be better under Romney.
Mitt was ok.
So Republicans are only saying mitt was perfect because they are comparing him with Obama.
Exactly
Depends on how you define Republican. When he was Governor of Massachusetts, he signed the biggest gun control law in the state's history, was enthusiastically pro-abortion, pushed an environmental agenda that resulted in the closure of dozens of coal mines, and created a landmark healthcare law that would become what Obamacare was based on. He flipped on all of these positions in 2008.
He was way too Bible thumper for me. He wanted to take away like everyone's rights.
I dont think there is a Potential Presidential Candidate what is not too bible thumper for you.
NOT True.
Half those freedoms he wanted gone were lies.
Yep, and that's true. The GOP is blind to the fact they are one of two establishment parties.
That's over exaggeration Hallo. That's not what he wanted at all.
Should this surprise us? For a while now, the GOP's main goal has been "Take away freedom from some people, give it to others."
Welcome to the region, Serbian! And I agree.
What do you guys think about the 30-Hour full time standard?
The Obamacare Mandate? I Personally only think of 40 hours as a Full Time Job.
My Congressman wrote a law about it.
