  1. When will tickets go on sale for this prog rock extravaganza?! Interpretive dance, modern art, philosophical lyrics. Sign me up.
  2. Every time a platform tries to censor popular, non-conformist views while holding the banner of free speech high, it begins to fall. All it will take is another to set up, what did we use Youtube for originally? Music? There are plenty of other free services that do this now from songs to music videos. Tv shows? Again with the rise of Netflix, Hulu and more Youtube is losing ground to them. Content creators? They go were the crowd is, if they can transfer their fanbase to a private website and direct all profitable traffic to themselves, like FDR does with it's podcasts, youtube ceases to be needed.
  3. You did not address my argument, the head of the commonwealth, HRH Queen Liz II, holds power over the largest Protestant flock in the world. It is because of this that whatever happens they will continue to be around in some form. I did not, nor do I, contest the size of their devoted. It has since it's inception shown itself to break with religious canon when they no longer become popular or applicable and will continue to do so to stay relevant throughout the foreseeable future. Your argument is a lazy strawman,
  4. The head of the Commonwealth is the head of the biggest branch of the Protestant faith, it shows it has the most potential to survive by adapting to the changing world around it.
  5. Used to be wine, women and war. Now it is whine, womyn and want.
  6. Conservatism is becoming the new counter-culture.
  7. With luck, Facebook will sound it's own downfall with the Orwellian Minitrue feature the are implementing. Remember what is emblazoned on the side of the Ministry of Truth? "WAR IS PEACE," "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY," "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."
  8. It is the qualities that make a good fighter that are lacking in masculinity. Aggression, confidence, risk-taking, strength physical & mental, the need to compete, the urge to be better than others and more. All of these are discouraged in males. Said it many times in chat, a draft would remedy this.
  9. Why leech from this site? There is a chatroom for discussion, one I've yet to see you in.
  10. Sounds stupid, but I've found reading out loud can help.
  11. A classically trained Doctor? I need to see one, I believe I am Choleric.
  12. He will midway through his first term, approve of but not make a priority, recreational weed. Which seems to be the only thing young libertarians/anarchists/snowflakes care about. You don't care that he is retracting the reach of the Fed, deregulating major industries, lowering the barrier to trade local, national and international or any other issues, it's just your weed.
  13. Robert A. Heinlein, guy was way ahead of his time. Also first few Dune books.
  14. Nobody cared about his executive orders about the Wall, instead they all focused on the temp-ban on international refugees. Create a big symbol for the symbol minded to protest against. While they do that, he is free to continue what he promised to his electorate.
  15. The biggest conspiracy theory in recent years was that the Government was watching, listening, reading and reviewing people. People were called crackpots, nutcases, madmen and lunatics. It turns out that it was true, they were spying on everybody. Now you are telling me that people in power, the most powerful people in the world, that have ever existed up to this point in time do not have a vested interest in maintaining their authority, influence and power?
  16. Reads to me like hypochondria and low self esteem. I suggest rebuilding your confidence, return to shooting and CCing. You are very lucky that nobody was injured by your ND.
  17. There is a mention of the connection in the Israel youtube video.
  18. He is very clear, audible and comprehensive when he talks, however if you are able to improve his singing voice.
  19. Your argument hinges on the very small, very visible (despite the equipment) minority of the prepping community. Most people interested in the prepared community do nothing more than put enough supplies away to get through a week or two. The whole zombie marketing angle was a gimmick, tying it in to the hype of the moment with the Walking Dead being top show, etc. Anything that can get the youth to plan for the future in any manner is a burden removed from first responders and emergency services. You seem to focus on the firearms, not the fact that the stores of dried goods cost more than the amount of ammo. Based on your tone and lack of arguments, you appear to bear a grudge against the community. Based on the argument I will guess you are not from rural America where you can be several hours away from the nearest population center, help, supplies and many other things we easily take for granted. No, I suspect you are from Europe from a country which could easily fit in the caps between sizable populations in which help is very close to hand and self-sufficiency is often entirely impossible, or more often than not outright ridiculed. The mindset of the fat, wheezing, keyboard commando is indeed fantasy, but so is everything they do as they are barely people. A tiny, vocal minority on the internet is by no means a fair measure of a community. I encourage you to attend a course on disaster preparedness before you right off an entire community as fatalistic fantasists based on their least qualified, most immature members.
  20. "Are you from X?" "No." "You speak the local language of X, your accent can be placed from sub-region of X." "I'm from Y" "When are you coming here from Y?" "Fleeing violence from Y." "Y is peaceful, safe and has a culture much similar to your own." "...." "Rejected, next."
  21. When they provide no reasons for their decisions and positions, nor external source for statistics, when they provide evidence in the form of a personal story or anecdote and most importantly, when it comes from an actor, comedian, journalist, media personality or student.
  22. Trump will never beat China in trade. Trump will never improve relations with Russia.
  23. Houston. Deeply love the city and it's people.
