I've studied 9/11 for years....its amusing to listen to you telling me to look up facts related to it. Your post had nothing to do with the fact that much of Europe freeloads upon the cost of national defence. You equated Nato's response to 9/11 with Europe's defence spending......amazing. Making justifications for America picking up the slack is ridiculous....of course it isn't in America's interest for enemies to invade Europe....that doesn't mean it's for America to pay for other countries defence.....this is absurd . Also your simplistic view of how Putin would react to a Trump presidency is also ridiculous.....Even if Putin somehow thought that occupying Europe was somehow a good thing for Russia how the feck is he going to pay for this world war? Do you even know anything about their economy? I'm actually communicating with someone who believes in simplistic fantasies.....You share more things in common with Trump than you realize.
As to the rest of it, if you want to boil down the myriad complications of international relations to a zero-sum equation, go ahead. You'll be wrong, but I have zero interest in helping you.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

I'm done....You are either on a wind up or just incredibly dim as you don't even address the realities. I prefer to think you're on a wind up but whatever I'm done.

Has Trump done anything as bad as getting a man off of raping a 12 year old, and laughing about it? Edited by Rubin (11 Aug 2016 11.47pm)

Edited by Rubin (11 Aug 2016 11.47pm) She's laughing about her faith in polygraph machines, not about the rape. Lawyers who defend terrible people probably do develop a kind of dark humour to get through what is effectively a pretty s**ty but necessary job. As for getting him off, you can't have a fair trial if you have a lawyer who isn't prepared to defend you in an accusatory prosecution system. Friend of mine is a forensic anthropologist who specialises in arson and finding and recovering dead bodies (typically murder victims). He has a very dark and blasé sense of humour about his work. Its often the only way to get through it. And of course this is something she said in 1975, 31 years ago. Edited by jamiemartin721 (12 Aug 2016 12.45pm)

Is that also the explanation for this Jamie? Or is it that she's a complete psychopath with no empathy?

I don't want to get into a defend Clinton, because f**k her, she's a terrible choice for America (I don't think she'd be as bad for the US, but that's no basis for a democratic system selecting who's the least dangerous).

These two, its another lesser of two evils scenario. Neither is fit for the job.

Agreed. He is finger lickin good. And Hilary is probably a bucket. I actually believe Colonel Sanders (if he even existed - I believe it was some pseudonym) sold KFC recently enough and his parting shot was something along the lines of 'that is the worst food I've ever tasted; if you can even call it food'. I shouldn't quote it really as I haven't got the words as harsh as he had at all. Anyway - one point I think we can all agree on is this: both are terrible candidates, even questionable people, what exactly is happening to supposed democracy these days? Just seems to go from the sublime to the ridiculous. Perhaps Colonel Sanders vs Ronald McDonald for the next election is not that far-fetched.

Trump = Terrible choice Sanders - Didn't agree with his political stance at all. I am not a socialist. However I did feel that, much like Corbyn he believed what he advocated was right and didn't want to conform to the traditional political ambitions.
I ain't got nuthin' funny to say. Sorry. |
