It teaches that being the good guy is what's best for you in the long run, that bad guys eventually lose, that the world is ultimately fair. Disney's illustration of love, it's criminal really. Like it's a feeling you get, that's not love it's infatuation. Love is commitment, loyalty, respect, caring.

YSL L'Homme, casual Armani aqua di gio, more formal or party environments I love colognes, I change to different ones when I run out. Most high end colognes are good. Parfums de Marly, Versace, Jean Paul Gautier.

Elections are ran by individual states. He was talking to republican governors. The deported student broke the law, trespassing.

Europe isn't in the debt the u.s. is, some European countries have savings actually. The u.s. needs the world economy like no one else, isolation would be catastrophic for the u.s. and no one else.

They already questioned them, gabbard and hegseth perjured themselves under oath.

Middle East. I meant that's why the u.s. is there, to control the oil market.

China and Russia would move in that region in a heartbeat, if the u.s. left.

I hope Europe supports palestine now that the u.s. has gone to the dark side.

I would be shocked if this sort of dialouge came from a company Slack chat "as I heard it, the president was clear: green light", that means he was unclear, why else would he write this? "If you think we should do it let's go", what a lack of responsibility.

Cut them off until democrats get back in, quit buying american.

So the u.s. never existed prior to 1920("strong borders")?

No trumpers are ever happy, that's why they're trumpers. The poster is a liar, obviously.

I actually like it. More people are getting off their ass and getting serious about politics. People seem to be looking at cutting back on excess too, it's often mentioned in conversation. A lot of people are anxious though. I'm visiting Tucson and south of and thought there would be immigration activity but I've only seen extra sheriff 'speed traps' out in the country. I think some of the really Spanish little restaurants act a bit skittish or angry, I'm white, some people say I come off cop-ish. Still a lot of Mexico license plates, and Europeans.

Or the u.s. flag flying in Kabul or Saigon.

Ya, I wasn't meaning to single you out. I meant in general public discussion it has really run out of any usefulness. No, you mean public vs private enterprise. Capitalism and Socialism are not a spectrum.

Socialism and Capitalism are in regards to the means of production, airports do not produce, roads do not produce, they can be neither socialist or capitalist. Is your car made by a government or company, your house, your food. I think what you're referring to in this thread is best categorized as progressive vs conservative, but really those are still gross generalizations when categorizing voters.

That's not socialism. "Socialism is a form of government in which most forms of property are owned or controlled by the state for the benefit of all." "Socialism is a form of government in which most forms of property, including at least the major means of production and natural resources, are owned or controlled by the state."

It's not socialism either. For us being the 'intellectual side', we really need to be less reckless with language.

We really need to stop using 'left and right'.

Republicans don't support fascism, only a minority do, they don't support tyranny, they don't support a third term, they support free elections, they barely support the republican party. Republicans just want to cut the debt, bring back industry, and quit giving handouts, a minority want project 2025. https://thehill.com Nearly half of Republicans want someone other than Trump in 2024 Jul 12, 2022 — Close to half of Republican primary voters want someone other than former President Trump to run in 2024, according to a new poll that www.kff.org KFF Health Tracking Poll March 2024: Abortion in the 2024 Election and ...

No, it's non-partisanship.

Russia allows any ukrainian to surrender, they can surrender any time. You'd think them being on the front line they know more than you or Russian propagandists as to what they face, or don't face.

Russia is the biggest country in the world and no other country has a buffer state.

When your adversary is punching themselves in the nuts, you don't need to respond to that. Just don't punch yourself in the nuts, and you'll win.

It was a genuine question. I like the god of the bible, i enjoy the Christian experience. BUT, what in the Christian story is requisite for realizing god?
