Random Politics & Religion #00

1. I'm a US citizen. This has been known for a couple of years on this site. For that matter I've had this conversation with you.

Also Denmark has been under several threats and attacks by terrorists because of cartoons and their support of the US. Including an attack a few months ago. But as you continuelly demonstrate a serious lack of international news knowledge it doesn't surprise me that you don't know this.

2. You think the State Guard is more prepared to handle a potential terrorist plot or gunmen inside a military operation than three branches of the military? Observing outside restricted zones is freaking HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. The soliders who are participating in the exercise are using blanks. The temporary perimeter will be secured, unless you think the US military doesn't know how to do this?

Abott could have discussed matters with the DoD and probably had observers installed within the activities. It would surprise me if parts of the TX National Guard weren't invited to observe. Instead he posts a letter on his website ordering his State Guard General to watch and report on US military activities. This was a PR bone for the crazies and ended up pissing a lot of non-crazy people off.

3. You didn't say for both sides: you specifically stated for people who were next to the operation.


4. You seem to have absolutely no idea how frequently training exercises happen.

5. It's frankly your choice if you want to feel unsafe from unlikely events all the time. But don't expect everyone to feel the same or contain their criticisms for a state politician trying to court favor with conspirarcy (to use your phrase) flower heads.

I would be nice if politicians in the US took a cue from the UK as far as bowing out gracefully like Miliband and Clegg.

...no. Not in any way what I was getting at and is completely unrelated to what I said.

Do you know who Jeremy Clarkson is? :p

This subject has been gone from comical to exhausting in the week's time it has taken to proliferate. Just one question...How does this even differ from annual military training and maneuvers every summer at Fort Hood that has been going on for decades now?

This is all so ridiculous.

EDIT: All branches included, there's about twenty bases in Texas.

<inserteyeroll.gifofyourchoosing>

DOUBLE EDIT: I can't believe the catalyst for these conspiracy theories is a couple of Walmarts closing for a few months.

They were in terrible positions to continue, both Labour and Lib Dem had horrible elections.

Lib Dem results were sort of expected, many people who voted for them in the previous general election felt let down by their broken promises upon forming a coalition with the conservatives but I don't think they were expected to be reduced to 8 seats, terrible for the party always seen as the 3rd major party.

Labour on the other hand did a lot worse based on expectations, while they were expected to lose most of their seats in Scotland due to the rise of the SNP, they were unable to retain any seats in Scotland.

In regard to the election on a whole, every poll before the election suggested a neck and neck contest between the Tories and Labour, the fact the Tories were able to gain a majority speaks volumes for Labour's failings.

I think I remember seeing this being predicted in 'The Guardian' earlier this year.

Forgive my broadstrokes on the matter, what I found interesting was the mirroring of the US's current political climate. The UK has the highest taxes of any first-world nation, from what I recall, and the Conservative party is going to prolong austerity measures, right?

Did you think you would be able to corner the market?

Would you like the ability to kill all of the other crazy people?

Because using "Nausi's Divine Principle" and borrowing from it his fourth law of motion. We can see that not only is everyone A% gey, they are also B% crazy... and there isn't necessarily any correlation between A & B other than they both exist within the equation...

SO everyone is crazy, just to varying degrees, and we arbitrarily draw the line that says that everyone on one side of the line is sane enough to believe they might be crazy and everyone on the other side is so far gone they can't consider the possibility.

RIGHT and so then, we kill all the killers that want to kill us... but then we are still left with the killers that killed the killers unless we kill those killers and then we are the killers and this sort of thing keeps going on for fifty thousand years while we all wait for some higher power to step in and end the madness...

but it isn't ever going to stop.

Nobody is coming to stop us. We are going to tear ourselves apart over and over again and again and again forever and ever . And you can cry and whine and *** and hide all you want. Or you can join in the fun

You already know what I am doing....doo do doot do doo.

For crying out loud, who pissed in your bowl of Cheerios this morning? So, what do you want from me? To say that Abbot responded to a vocal minority? That's not going to happen, and all evidence points that he didn't do that. You can spin it to make it look like he did, but he never specifically state that this is for the protection of an invasion on Texas soil.

You are so desperate to paint Texas and our new governor in a bad light. I wonder why?

It can't be because he is disabled. He is a Republican, and only liberals use the excuse of a minority and possibly disabled person as an excuse against any opposition from the government.

I guess you feel threatened by him for some reason. I promise you, Texas is not going to annex Denmark. Why would we, you have nothing we need or care about, nor are you a threat to our security.

Question who gives a damn damn about the UK bunch of tea drinking wankers !

Are you denying that he "built" his wealth on the back of a small company through a litigious knee-jerk, and has done an about face to preserve that windfall while still feigning to be a proponent of preserving small businesses in Texas?

Your defense now is "the desperate liberals out to defame the disabled republicans"?

I almost damn near fell out of my chair laughing at that...

You are just flailing around now...

Actually it's quite the opposite, the UK has one of the lowest tax rates amongst first world nations atm, Conservatives are pretty known for this, low taxes through privatisation.

Our highest tax band right now is 45% but the bulk of UK workers are probably on the lowest 20% rate, as for austerity, I suspect that will continue as the Tories have set the goal of having a surplus by 2020.

beats the hell outta me....

Let's go ask the Deep Thought Super Computer!

I guess if I wanted to answer the question why I do anything... I'd say the "Will to Power" and hand you the book !

Are you talking about the incident that a tree fell on him and broke his back? Hate to tell you this, but that was paid for by homeowner's insurance, not by a small business or the owner of the house.

Is it hypocritical for him to collect that money then enact damages caps on such legal suits? No, because of the order of occurrence. But I'm sure you would say so...

Yeah, we know that you are A) unable to read and comprehend and B) trolling. You might get a different response from me if you didn't make it so obvious.

One does not have to be desperate to do that King, indeed one hardly has to try.

And Washington (or wherever you live, I forget) is an utopia to you?

I'm not going to read Will to Power to you... you have to read it yourself !

Out of curiosity, when was the last time you were in the U.S.?

Maybe I'm a US citizen is a metaphor for the struggle of African Americans...how poetic ! We are all in this for the struggle.

When was the last time you accidentally the whole thing !

Better not question her, she might snap and get her whole gang of people here to nitpick at every single word you say.

Like Mil and Zah for example.

Words have meaning and meanings have interpretations therefore every word you write is a lie !

The best way to answer a question is to ask another question ! Or so the news journalists told me...

I just find it an odd way to start off an argument. If I recall they've been living in Denmark for the past 7 years and have no plans of returning.

They visit every now and then.

If they really are US citizens, I wonder if they actually file 1040s or not. Don't really care anymore because I'm leaving the tax field at the end of the month so I don't have to deal with IRS too often anymore.

*** it let's make a new meme.


I'm a US citizen therefore my opinion matter more than yours !

I'm a US citizen therefore fake *** are good for my self esteem etc

so... Kara has a "whole gang of people" in her employ? that stalk you on a third party hack website for a fourteen year old japanese video game waiting for you to make a clerical error? so they can all simultaneously pounce on you?




maybe they are all just easily offended by stupidity....

Oh yeah, I think I remember you wanted to change jobs. Where you going next?
