I could see Oregon and Washington State throwing in with Cali, giving all of them a direct line to nice fresh Canadian Rocky BC Springs because we up here in Canada would be an instant ally of any states that broke off.

Half of Paris would already be ash.

And the U.S. got all the money to build up their industrial base by the fact that they were they only country able to give out loans to the European nations fighting in the First World War since every european country spent everything they had and then some fighting each other.

World War One represented the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. It was bigger than the economic exploitation by the British Empire of Africa, India and Asia combined. In four years, the U.S. basically held all the cards and (I know this is controversial) only ended up getting involved militarily when it seemed possible that the allies would lose and therefore be unable to pay off their loans.

And you know what...all credit to the Americans; they took that new found wealth and built up the strongest, most powerful industrial base the world had ever seen; an industrial base that, without which, the second world war would have been nearly impossible to win (Russian blood, British Strategy, American Industry...isn't that the saying?)

It's what they proceeded to do with that industrial base afterwards that lead us to where we are now.

Admitting your country has problems is "woke", though. /s

It's not the corporations, it's the billionaires that run them. Every time Trump does something that makes the stock market drop, they get richer by scooping up more for less. Than sell them when Trump says "Just kidding" and the stock market rises again.

Not to mention that all of their companies get to raise prices and blame "tariffs" in order to increase their profit margin.

It's the entire reason they paid to get him into the white house.

The fact that McHitler hasn't stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.

What the fuck did the idiot THINK was going to happen?

Definitely uncut. All the extra shit they can add to it just dilutes the high.

His Big Mac was served cold on Monday.

Working toward a nuke free world was going to get humans past the Great Filter

Ironically, I'm increasingly of the opinion that the Great Filter will turn out to be Ignorance; more specifically, greed, stupidity and humankind's more selfish nature delaying positive change long enough for climate change to wipe us out.

Them him/her I have to think about it for a bit, and then take a recorder in my pocket when "revisiting" the conversation.

Bohemian Rhapsody or Paradise by the Dashboard Light

I pronounce it "Phil". And he would appreciate it if you would stop staring at his missing eye.

Cinematography. The composition of a moving frame.

Everywhere else in the world with the exception of prudish north america, "Cunt" is just a synonym for asshole; regardless of gender.

That may not be where the word started, but that's where it currently is in modern usage.

There's no such thing as a "non-harmful" pedofile.

Either you're actively molesting children (yes...even teens), or you're consuming the CP that is the result of OTHER people abusing children by forcing them to participate and worse.

You don't get to say "its not repulsive to consume the product as long as youre not a creator of it". Consuming the end result is still participating in it.

I can't believe that even has to be pointed out.

I'm hoping he loses his own riding and has to get a real job for the first time in his life.

come at me, bro...

I was dumbfounded the first time my ex-wife tried to tell me that because I was a (former) Catholic at the time, that it wasn't actually Christianity.

My exact words were; "Bitch please! We were the fucking original christians, what the fuck are you on about?"

That was before we got married and I should have listened to my gut in that moment.

Be best friends with her for yyears. Then literally just look at each other, shrug and say "Meh...might as well fuck".
