If you think an ISIS caliphate would be better than the West than a more positive relationship with Iran, all I can say is that you're mentally ill.

There are no easy choices in the Middle East. But would you rather side with a mildly hostile Iran, or the barbarians of the ISIS "caliphate"? Like it or not, there are no third options.
Choose one:
1) Iran/Syria
2) ISIS
Want to really fight ISIS? We'll need Iran and Syria as allies if you actually want to win.
Fuck Netanyahu. If you listen to him, he'll take you right into WWIII. Let him go to Masada by himself if he's so determined to commit suicide.
Let me tell you how public transportation works where I live:
1) Wait 20 minutes+ in the rain for a bus, ride another 20 minutes to a hub, wait another 20+ minutes for a bus to actually take you where you're going, ride another however many minutes to get to your actual stop.
2) Have to sit the whole way next to a bunch of smelly drug addicts. Sorry to be harsh about it, but that's a large percentage of the people who ride the bus here.
3) When lunch roles around, wish you had a car to go eat somewhere new, then also wish there were a way to go to the bank or run errands.
-or-
1) Get in my car and drive 20 minutes to work--maybe deal with some minor parking hassles at most, costs me a little gas money. Got my car nearby if I need to go anywhere during the day.
Now why would I ride the bus even if it were free? My time and freedom of movement are more valuable than anything I would save in gas.
Why would an entrepreneur go to Australia and pay even higher taxes there than in the U.S. when they could immigrate to some country that has little or no taxes and let's them rule like a Andreew Ryan-esque god?
For shame, University of Toronto! Phrenology is every bit as scientifically proven as homeopathy!
People looking to be offended will be always find what they're looking for, no matter how sensitive you try to be.
If the original trilogy came out today, people would be complaining that C3PO is a gay stereotype, Nien Nunb is a slur against asians, Jabba is offensive to fat people, and jawas are implying that little people are selfish.
I guess the Yakuza *really* didn't like this year's E3 presentation.
Yeah, a $100,000/yr. salary there is barely enough to pay the rent.
Sentence him to live 16 months in Quebec.
"Honey, we just got an overdue notice for the mortgage, and the baby's sick and we don't have any insurance!"
"Yeah, but in the Uber economy, I get to set my own hours!"
How about teaching backwoods-asshole Chinese and Vietnamese that not every rare animal part will make their dick harder or bigger?
How many drivers does it take to drive a driverless car?
Well, normally it would take one. But this is Google we're talking about here. So with each driver, you have to factor in 20% personal interest leave, nap leave, cafeteria time, sympathetic maternity leave, mandatory Frisbee/unicycle breaks, etc. So you're probably talking 2-3 employees minimum.
Do you think the US and UK treat journalists and human rights activists the same way they are treated in Egypt and Sudan?
Of course not. When it comes to using spyware and backdoors to spy on journalists, the US and UK are *MUCH* worse.
