Pence attack on Socialism



Did he just say that that it was freedom that gave us the cleanest environment:lol:

Apart from that, as a resident of a socialist country, it really is weird seeing the VP speaking of socialism like it’s the most evil ideology on the planet. I mean, some of the richest countries with the highest quality of life in the world are socialist.

And in general this rhetoric about medicare for all being an attack on their unique and amazing freedom is fecking insane. What is it even? Freedom to go bankrupt if you’re in a low paying job and get sick? Freedom to be much more likely to get shot while attending school than anywhere else?

Agree. It is disingenuous, at best, for well to do people to talk about choice of medical care. Most people don't have the luxury of choice.
 
He gets results, you stupid Cheif!!!!
 
Exactly!

This is what really fecking pisses me off and truly saddens me about Trumps divisive bullshit and the moronic Brexit vote. We should be looking at the world as a whole and moving forward to global unity on almost every level, yet so many are so scared of change, diversity or afraid of someone getting something or themselves losing out in some way. It's holding us back as a species and helping cause untold pain and destruction around the world.

I despair, I really do. The USA and all first world countries could do so much more to help everyone else but corruption, greed, fear and racism stops any progress.

If I say anything like that in my pub I'd be classed a loopy lefty socialist/communist who doesn't understand how the world works. That's probably why I use this forum to vent at times.

I'm crying inside.

They are not true Americans amirite?
 
Aliens who can come thousand of light years away to find us would definitely has the technology to wipe us out easily.

We seems to build our conceptions on alien based on 80s scifi like E.T

If we have to ability to send colonies to mars you can bet we'll send a couple of confederation armies along .... just in case
 
I always wonder who decides who are and aren't real Christians / Muslims / whatever religion.

Seems to be the go-to defense for quite a few people.

It's just pure tribalism based on a book and a complete lack of ability to accept that we're just here so we need a reason to help us rationalise it. None of them and all of them are real.

It's quite a simple matter really, Christians can quite easily identify someone who is not a Christian yet professes to be one although there's not a club of sects you join or get kicked out of, there's no badge handing over or de-frocking as such because you can always return to being a Christian. It's a simple easy test that goes something like asking yourself whether that person or bunch of persons love their fellow man? Do they wander far from any basic tenet of Christianity etc. etc. Such as in this case Blasphemy, I would think. I mean obviously either someone very silly wrote this or if this is a serious item then we've got problems eh?

I've not seen this in the media myself. If it were something serious that someone believed that Trump really was the second coming and that Trump really believed it well, we've all got a whole new range of issues.

Let's keep an eye on it. Let's call it the Keeping an eye on Trump Coming sort of watch.
 
Thing is... those people would probably look at you and say that you're not a Christian. It's not like your Christianity is particularly close to the Christianity of the 2nd century, for example. Or the 10th century, or the 16th century, etc. It evolves, like any other thing, and in the end everyone thinks someone else interprets the word of God wrong.
 
Yes, good point. Except those are basic tenets from the Christian faith of the 2nd, 10th and even the 16th centuries. However I can quite easily see that not minding people of different sexualities attending church far less getting married or buying a wedding cake would see me de-bagged very quickly. Now that's going to be something I'll not worry about or it'll hurt my head for ages.
