American and European education systems are admired all over the world. People send their children to be educated in the West all the time. Who sends their kids to Africa for school?
These knee-jerk anti-Western attitudes need to go. They're not based in any kind of reality.
...and yet if he were an (R) instead of a (D), you'd shit all over him even though he held the exact same opinions.
Also, doesn't it feel dirty cheering for a career politician? Ugh. He is a 65 year old white male, which should be proof enough that he doesn't deserve political power. The man has never held a straight job in his life, it's all been in academia or politics. Funny how all of these criteria - ones that would eliminate "lesser" people - are suddenly not a problem when the man (why not elect a woman?) has a D next to his name.
Unfortunately, it does not go without saying that in our examination we must avoid the fallacy that in the last decades has frequently been used as a substitute for the reductio ad absurdum: the reductio ad Hitlerum. A view is not refuted by the fact that it happens to have been shared by Hitler.
PS it turns out that ISIS is actually implementing Islamic law as it was actually written. So, it's not just justified, it's just.
It never gets old I tell ya, humorless jerks coming into a thread and crapping in the punch bowl.
False.
There was peace with honor in 1972, and the USA withdrew its forces. In 1975, North Vietnam broke the treaty and invaded South Vietnam (that's when they took this airbase). Oops. Did we forget about that? This inconvenient truth went down the memory hole, didn't it?
I love the flip-flop from "war is wrong" to "to the winner go the spoils" without the least hint of cognitive dissonance. Fair and square, riiiight. We have always been friends with Eastasia. Under social justice, Vietnam should be nice and return the base, or at least honor the foreigners' requests.
PS Vietnam isn't allied with China, they're competitors in the South China Sea. I suppose facts aren't going to make a difference at this point, though, it's pure emotion now. Two Minutes Hate is flowing strong.
"Arborea was covered in several Amiga magazines, which predictably focused on the graphics, sound, and music rather than the actual gameplay elements. (The May 1991 review from CU Amiga begins by giving thanks that "the days [are gone] when a role-playing game meant little more than a great leap of the imagination, a plot with trolls and gameplay along the lines of a special maths paper." You want to know when RPGs started getting "dumbed down"? This is it, right here.)"

Did we notice the fact that the helicopter was cruising at 5000 feet and wasn't looking into anyone's windows? Or is there just such a frisson at quoting 1984? One good turn deserves another, deal with this wisdom:
"It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy."
-- George Orwell, "1984"
On an American university campus, if a woman claims she has been raped, then that means she has been raped. There are severe penalties for her rapist.
In Sweden, home of feminism, a woman's word is apparently insufficient to verify that a rape occurred? WTF? How does this even work?
