quote:(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here! Doesn't this technically qualify as communism? At a minimum, wouldn't you have to nationalize businesses to get this done?

My mind melted a little bit as I couldn't believe his rose colored glasses towards this idea of the noble conservative willingness to hear out liberal speakers wherever they may find themselves. When I told him I couldn't believe there were no incidents of conservative censorship of liberal speakers, he demanded examples.

Like TFC Hunted but with most players being Civilians (bots to fill out the team), one Assassin, and the escort team would be divided into Heroes (who look exactly like the Assassin) and Police. Killed Civilians would respawn as Police. The objective as the Heroes is to kill the Assassin, without killing Civilians (who look the same except unarmed) or Heroes. I think The Best Amendment is probably closest to what you want.

I suppose it's easy to conflate the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt now that Mursi is President. While I wouldn't argue that Mursi is in any independent of the Muslim Brotherhood, there's a pretty loving stark difference between giving old aircraft to a country's military -- which is at odds with the Muslim Brotherhood -- and the actual organization itself.

DarkHorse posted:It's a cliche here at this point, but the combination of "NO ABORTION!" and "NO CONTRACEPTIVES/SEX ED!" only makes sense if punishing women for sex is the root desire. They want them to suffer the "consequences" of their actions (in my opinion, of doing something they wish they could get away with) even if what those consequences are have no bearing in reality and directly contradict their stated stance. The other thing they believe is that sex is only for procreation and that if you enjoy it, that's okay too, but if you aren't making babies then don't do it. I've had similar arguments over marriage between homosexuals. "They can't procreate, so why let them get married?"

Xarthor posted:Maybe this isn't the place for a big philosophical tangent, but what I've never understood is, what's the alternative? Do conservatives really want to be the literal world police, jumping into every conflict all around the world indefinitely? Has fighting a two front war for 10+ years in Afghanistan and Iraq while simultaneously draining our national time, money, and resources not taught them that not every conflict needs to be jumped into? Conservative isn't really a united group when it comes to how the United States should act in foreign relations. On one hand, there are libertarians who want the U.S. Armed Forces no further than the border (and who probably care for us to completely stay out of the Ukraine crisis), and neo-cons who think we should already be knee-deep in foreigner blood. For the Obama critics, there's isn't an alternative, there's just a near-paradoxical conflict. America shouldn't be the world police, but we should be so tough and fearsome that no one would even think of doing something we wouldn't approve of, just in case we stop not being the world's police.

Anyway, I have a new colleague who announced that he was a libertarian because he thought "both sides are too extreme". Last week at lunch, apropos of nothing, he asked me if I had a gun in my house. I think maybe he was having a gun control conversation with someone else at the table that I wasn't aware of, but I seriously don't recall. Anyway, no, I don't have a gun. He then proceeded to fantasize about breaking into my house and killing me. I asked him why the hell he'd break into my house. Then he started fantasizing about me breaking into his house and him killing me before I could steal anything. I told him I don't want his stuff. Firearms owners that I've conversed with range from regular gun enthusiasts to people who wear a thin veneer of civilization and the only reason they haven't cracked open my skull and feasted on the gooey innards is because police still exist.
