The best time to plant the tree you wish to rest under the shade of was several years ago. The next best time is now.

You can fuck off entirely with that shit. Biden is not Hitler. Biden doesn't even support what Israel is doing. Biden just isn't a dictator who decides on his own whim where us military funding goes. That's the job of the US Congress.

If Putin says he prefers dealing with Biden you can be certain he does not prefer Biden.

Difference between holding government accountable and outright saying government is always the problem. The latter only creates apathy among voters.

I apologize in advance of the things I am about to say to you but this has to be one of the most naive and sophomoric statements I have ever read, so I'm going to address you as a teenager because I hope nobody gets to adulthood believing such bullshit.

To start with I hate to be the bearer of bad news but a substantial percent of humans are violent by nature, which means there is no amount of logical debate that will convince someone to not take your things or your life. This transcends to the national level which is why every peaceful nation in history has an army, for self-defense.

Army doesn't make any productive labor? My brother in Christ you are on the internet. Which means you are using a software that implements TCP/IP protocols specifically designed to build the . . . Drumroll . . . ARPANET! For the US military? Did you type that comment with your phone? Did you use GPS today? Hell the entire space race was funded for military reasons!

I have to envy you though. Thinking that you can simply argue your way out of any confrontation without the threat of violence, must be nice. Ask Palestinians or Ukranians what they think of that.

None of this changes the fact that if you wanted a better candidate you should have campaigned them a year ago, not now.

When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago, when is the next best time? Now.

I don't think that should matter. They made the error and they should pay for it.

No. A mafia makes you pay "protection" from the things they'll do to you if you don't pay. A government makes pay taxes for a very real threat of what other nations and people within your nation will do without that security they provide. They also build roads and bridges and fire departments, water towers and plumbing, and other things necessary for a civilized world.

I'd actually argue the opposite. Religion reigns in bad people. Talk to a religious person, wait until you hear them say something like, "but if there's no god and no afterlife, what's to stop people from murder and rape?" That's all that's holding them back from total anarchy, the threat of eternal suffering and damnation, only for some it's still not enough.

Something cursed about this comment

The "final" thing was never true though. Wholey based on an off the cuff remark by one engineer.
