Mostly talking about the regular acid attacks that happen mostly to women and children

Yeah but the violence we do see in europe is typically widely spread knife crime and chemical attacks on people. The most complicated and unique terrorist attacks I have ever seen happen on European soil.

The car yes, dentist, no. Dentists are essential services imo

Just because our corrupt government does it better than yours doesnt mean we dont know what it is. Btfo european

I like almost all of this, but I disagree with merging the Senate and House as well as a VAT on luxury items. We already have tax on basically every transaction and the burden is on the consumer, that needs to change. What should happen is that all taxes on food items currently should be removed. I believe the separation of Senate and House, while burdensome and inefficient at times, really does an essential good for American society. We would fare much better if we had term limits and more than two (essentially one) political party.

Edit: I want to continue with strickening the UBI from this list as well in exchange for significanly improving social services to make sure that everyone is guaranteed food, housing, medical, and security. I get that income is important and some people cant work, but inflation is real and that money has to come from somewhere not just the ether. It would be better to create/improve upon existing social safety nets to make sure everyone can contribute to society in some way rather than just giving everyone money for nothing.

As great as this is, its going to go the same way as the Scottish independence referendum. There isnt going to enough voters for the unification/independence for a long time. Im all for Irish unification as an Irishman but Ive got to be realistic on the outlook of this referendum. If Scotland cant get it done, Northern Ireland will be nearly the same.

Damn I didnt even think about that. Katwalk C vr treadmill too

Personally id still choose the per step so I stay active. Although the amount of time I spend on video games would make a dent in my profits.

I dont even care about this meme, what coat is Robert Pattinson wearing?

One can argue that the EU is a nation itself. It has a common defense force, no hard borders within its member states, a common currency, and a defined territory. But then again, thats only within the Shengen zone. The EU is similar to the USA in that aspect, meaning that there are multiple states which make up a single total nation. The UN is a supranational organization, not really a government without a nation because even its member states can just ignore everything the UN rules on. It has no real authority. While the UN does have a peacekeeping force, it is not the same as the EUs standing military. The UN and NATO are more similar to eachother than the UN and the EU.

Has there ever been a nation without a government?

To represent the interests of the people on an inter and intra national level. Not to have a monopoly on violence. If only the cops/military have the ability to enact force both legally and practically, it will be abused. We can see that all over the United States and the world.

Possibly a rugby joke too

Leftists support gun ownership for the "right" workers. Not all workers because some may disagree with them

That is a really bad idea

Dont wear normal shoes so often, wear flip flops or barefoot shoes

Check the botton of the article, only 215 have been found

If only thats what politically active leftists actually pushed for.
