  1. the good thing imo in the US you had both though trash propaganda movies like American Sniper, Top Gun etc. but then also anti war movies like Full Metal Jacket, Platoon etc.
  2. 1. stop calling things "Fact" there are no facts really, everything is perception 2. Russia is also afraid that countries like Georgia, Armenia etc joining NATO which would be a kind of surrounding at least in bits. 3. Not just criminals are afraid of police, also many afro americans etc.
  3. i think it's a know fun fact that Hollywood has often worked together with the US army and CIA
  4. I mostly base my understanding of Islam on Muslims in Europe. People that i know and people that i see.
  5. sure, also in some places (like Texas) you have more "freedoms" than in many European countries so that can be attractive. sure but that's very difficult to realise because children get brainwashed from early age on with captain america etc. Hollywood imo was the smartest move by the US.
  6. So Ukraines fate is to just be a "buffer country" ? What if they want to join the EU in time? Or you mean they could join the EU and not NATO I do understand Russias fears of getting surrounded though
  7. Another issue imo is that Turkey is in NATO Even though they have a strong efficient army and i wouldn't want them to side with China etc. but they have an Autocratic leader. What they're doing to the Kurds. They're beefing with Greece etc.
  8. imo because the first joke is just a kind of silly joke while the second "joke" you're implying you want to have sex with her and maybe that scared her
  9. listened to it it was nice but imo he talked almost nothing about how to heal and overcome it, while those are big in the title
  10. it could work in a democracy with many checks and balances where the people have a great education and the politicians are not very egoistic but they're honest and empathic but that seem too utopian
  11. yea but then there could still come a psychopath or tyrant etc. after him/her like when you have a mostly smart "good" king and then his son is a crazy spoiled lunatic
  12. yea i think if we have some type of one world government, we need some type of benevolent A.I. at the helm because humans and the human ego will be corrupted eventually
  13. i don't know that many europeans that want to live in the US also i see many americans coming here to Europe
  14. do you think xi will be overthrown? don't think so especially with mass surveillance etc. and soon all this tech will be everywhere if a tyrant is ruling there's almost no way then to do anything about it
  15. 90% because of hollywood movies and cartoons i was the same way as a kid then later as a teenager i visited the US and was shocked by the poverty and homeless etc. still a nice place, don't get me wrong i think in the US the highs are higher and the lows are lower compared to western Europe also what do you mean "young people don't want to live there" ??
  16. but they were the only country which did drop nukes on another country (killing children, women and all) started wars based on lies agent orange bombing weddings with drones toppled democratically elected governments and supported right wing dictators supported mass killings (for example in indonesia) the list is endless and all of this since ww2 not a huge fan of Germany btw. and think they hold far too much power in the EU but really don't think they'll start a ww, 70 yrs is a long time ago but i guess you weren't fully being serious anyways they are "tame" now imo
  17. i've seen an atom once it was mostly made of cake matter and it mattered
  18. that's what stalinists, maoists etc. said imo and it turned out pretty bad
  19. i mean the same could be said for the US and many other countries though
  20. because in todays world you can get bullied by the big guys if you're small and insignificant also it makes many things easier like travelling, business etc. although there are also some issues with it sure
  21. huh isn't modi (who's pretty nationalistic) the leader of that nation
  22. not really the EU has 450 million people while France and Germany together only have about 150 million but sure France has the strongest army in the EU and Germany the strongest economy
  23. I'm sure they are and i'm not saying your theory wouldn't be interesting Christianity too though Orthodox/Catholic/Protestant/Armenian etc. they're very different there used to be wars between Catholics and Protestants a few hundred years ago in Europe i think the differences in Christianity just seem less now because religion is much less important for example in Europe now than it used to be, most people don't really care
  24. that's the same with all religions though it's always, religions/ideology mixed with cultures and other things
