Is it just me, or have certain posters here from certain former communist countries gone completely off the rails? Example, I was accused of supporting "destroying countries, killing millions, trashing human lives and promulgation of anti-human ideology"... of course, I asked for the support of...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2184331/ "Una Noche" I don't normally post movie reviews here, but I think in this case it is apt because of the political/cultural points the movie touches on. The majority of the movie is spent in Havana, with the journey come at the end. It gives a shocking...

Every so often there is a major heist in Europe, and it's pretty spectacular. We're talking about the kind of heists that movies are made up of. Dateline - 18 August 2014, Paris Dateline - 31 July 2013, Cannes Dateline - 19 February 2013, Brussels Video News Report They...

In the US, or anywhere with a two party system, the idea of a coherent ideology that guides your party is a fiction. Example, pro-lifers who support the death sentence, and vice versa. Please don't nit pick on that point, there are other instances within each part. This isn't to say it is...

V9JuMZ8spFQ Beheading children? Then their heads placed on sticks? For not converting? While that is in accordance with the Koran (though they are supposed to have one other option, pay the infidel tax)... I'll leave it there. Discuss amongst yourselves.

You have to wonder, just who exactly still supports them? The answer, for a large part at least, is likely, those that just hate the Dems too much to hold the GOP accountable. Here's where the WT drops the dime...

I have a few reasons for posting this thread, a re-do, if you will. 1) It is not to inspire a reawakening of the phenomenon where people put their scores in their signature line, I'm happy to see that trend is largely gone. 2) I plan to make a chart, such as the political compass site has, but...

Repeatedly now in the Israel threads I've seen several posters say to several other posters (including but certainly not limited to me) things like... "You're ok with brown people dying"... "evil, brown people" "You're white... they're brown" If you resort to this type of argument, you've...

Has anyone read this? I'm in the midst of it now. Some herald it as the book that will redefine economic theory for decades to come. A uber-quick synopsis: Using tax and income data starting from around 1789 (French Revolution anyway), across 20 countries, patterns, thoughts, and ideas...

http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/28-12-2012/123335-americans_guns-0/ This is merely an opinion piece... However, this part at the end is telling. Gun grabbers don't hate guns. They just want to keep guns only in the hands of those who they agree with... I think this is...

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/biden-obama-might-use-executive-order-deal-guns_694984.html Previous examples of executive orders overcoming the Bill of Rights anyone? If this isn't setting up a Supreme Court battle, I don't know what is. The NRA will fund the gun side, obviously...

OK, in this world of ours, a lot of land has been taken from a lot of people. Sometimes, those people then go elsewhere and kick someone out from their lands. They in turn... yada yada yada OK, so, in history, this happened a lot, I'm sure we can all agree to that. An unfortunate...

What could be worse than people getting all sorts of surgery to remove their weight rather than simply changing their ways? Direct sucking of the food from the stomach! Genius! Now the gluttonous among us can continue to support the economy by spending tons on food, without completely...

I'm by no means anything other than middle class. Here is what I have seen since 2008... less take home pay, higher prices through inflation. Got my first pay stub for 2013... less take home pay. Really, this trend had been to a less obvious effect in the USA for a long time. Gone are the...
