Obviously you've read your 1913-1948 Palestine history.


Edit: Seriously, 4 vague -internets and not one response? If you got something to say, say it. Lets get some discussion going.

What were you doing in Saudi Arabia for 7 years (how old were you)?

Also, isn't the lack of crime and violence there due to almost brutal laws and law enforcement?

I was 7-14, and my father was an engineer who moved there for a job. Why?

I'm sure brutal laws have something to do with it. There is also a very strong religious cultural element.

I know I see plenty of people get beat up each year, and hear several gunshots too. I think you'd be hard pressed to find that level of violence anywhere other than combat zones in Iraq, Afghanistan or during hot times along the Palestinian/Israeli border (where the guns and war were most recently introduced by England). And even then, I think the US still comes out ontop.

Edit: I am not advocating any gun control, but I am pointing out that I believe that American culture is more violent than Arab culture in general.
They call gunfire a "wedding celebration." They treat women as bad as their dogs, and they treat their immigrant workers worse. What a great culture!

So is life, but I enjoy both!

Just asking because there is a big difference between living in a country and surviving there or observing as a child / young adolescent.

Yup, you think making the nuke is bad??

The miniturization of it to fit on a missile, the the technology to build the missile FAR surpasses making a run of the mill nuclear weapon.

The republicans stand are platform of national defense, but the dangers we face today do not justify a bloated military budget. As has been mentioned the world is no longer many nations seperated from eachother. Multinational corporations and foreign investment has led to an extremely intertwined world economy. China especially has an absurd amount invested in the US.

We no longer fight other first world nations on the battlefield, we fight them through economics. That leads an actual military threat from rogue groups, and radical nations. Neither has the resources or technology to achieve a missile launchable nuclear weapon.

It is hilarous how many people in this thread think the American people will make a rational, educated choice in this election, and how many genuinely think a certain political party is good for the country.

A few years ago americans where the good guys, now I just hope Europe isn't dragged into the inevitable nuclear war.
Fucking sort yourselves out. The world economy and politics are fucked because of your retarded politians, stop voting for them!?

Come on, you have a guy saying change all the time because the other candidate used it honestly and got some sucsess, and the other person on the ticket is basially saying "OMG I LOOOOVE AMERICA!!!" really loudly and not much else.

I knew it was a mistake to take computer science and engineering. Anything sounds more entertaining then a lot of the classes i've taken. Not to mention the lack of womenz. Americans don't research shit btw, they just hear something on the radio or the tv and run with it.

The show that is most critical about our candidates is fucking comedy central's daily show. It's a goddamn comedy show. Most of the other channels have people going on rants about stupid shit at best. If fucking news channels called on the bullshit of the speeches politicians make it would get rid 80% of the bullshit politics.

Maybe you should visit these backward lands to your south and fix their crooked ways. You can make a difference, just bring them change. Everyone in the south needs change and dental work so bad. Are you a bad enough dude to bring it to them? CHANGE


God you are so fucking useless. Don't you have a shit article to link or something?
