Austerity Survival Guide by Bripocalypsein politics

[–]mexicodoug 0 points1 point ago

In normal (non economist) English:

When we work together we can accomplish a lot and everybody benefits. When we compete a few win and most lose and usually the winners produce nothing but instead take their winnings from the losers. Like it or not, that's reality.

Fuck the "winners" to hell. Life is not a monopoly game. Or it shouldn't be, anyway.

Best wishes for your family. Peace, health, and prosperity to you all.

A sixteen year old assistant to a Congressman.

In Washington D.C. sixteen is the age of consent. For sex, anyway. (Not sure about the alcohol laws there.)

Until relatively recently, all pages were male. Most still are.

Being a page to a Congressman is a sure ticket to a scholarship to an Ivy League university. If you can get a letter of recommendation from your Congressmen, anyway.

Fact often left unmentioned in American History class: The Founding Fathers based their revolution upon establishing principles and practices of democracy originally established by the ancient Greeks.

Have you considered India?

Honestly, I live in Mexico working as a teacher. It's really expensive to go off to Europe or the US or Japan for vacation, but even though I make lower wages here than I would there I live a comfortable middle class life.

I've heard that engineers do quite well in India, compared to farmers and teachers and carpenters, anyway.

Iran or the US: which represents the bigger threat? by drew3000in worldpolitics

Both of your links rely completely on hearsay. The first is based on hearsay from Robert Gates, a known liar and propagandist for whatever cause big oil companies wish him to. The second is based on some unnamed, perhaps nonexistent, Kuwaiti news source.

You missed my point.

My point is that the US needs to improve and that Americans should stay home and fix the problems of the US, not go off and enforce corporate policies elsewhere.

Joining the Army isn't going to solve the problems that the corporations are creating for America, it makes them worse.

I wish I were as baked as this professor. He directly addresses the issue the horror of eternal life in lectures 18-20, but if you've got the time his whole course is rather interesting if you can get beyond his irritating tone of voice.

The violence is terrible, but more people die from car accidents than gang wars and Army shootings.

Those damn provinces just keep getting bigger and bigger. Before you know it Canada's gonna be bigger than Russia!

I wonder how she'd react if the French right-wingers shipped the French African and Arab citizens and immigrants that they hate so much to Arizona.

Mexican is not a race, it's a nationality. I'm a Mexican of Swiss/English descent and am white. My wife is a Mexican of Mestiza (Spanish/Native) descent and is morena (brown).

What happened to Silicon Valley? When I lived in CA twenty years ago it was a thriving tech mecca. The real estate was expensive, but otherwise a pretty nice place to live.

Annual rainfall may not tell you much about how the life there is. I lived in Guadalajara, Mexico, which has about the same annual rainfall as Seattle.

However, Guadalajara has a dry season for about seven months a year in which just about every day is sunny and warm. During its wet season (summer) the weather is also warm and mostly sunny, but in late afternoon or at night it will cloud up and pour rain torrentially for an hour or two, flooding the streets. So the climate is great, but it is sometimes impossible to cross the street without getting soaked halfway up to your knees.

Seattle, on the other hand, is more of a constant drizzle or mist, thus keeping it lushly green and gorgeous, but kind of cold and depressing.

There shouldn't even have been one court case. Military officers should know and obey the Constitution they are supposed to be willing to die to defend.

Drones over US to get weaponized – so far, non- lethally. by mundusvultdecipiin revolution

[–]mexicodoug 0 points1 point ago

For instance, their communication is not tamper-proof, as the recent downing of an American spy drone by Iran showed. So malignant hackers may take over control of a police UAV and use it for nefarious ends.

Anonymous will wreak havoc on Wall Street if these things get weaponized.

The US perceiving that its responsibility is to control the world's oil supplies and Iran's responsibility, being an important oil supplier with power to close the Strait of Hormuz, to cooperate with the the US' perceived responsibility, right?

"Across the globe???" Naturally they defend their interests in the Middle East, not as viciously as Israel of course, but nevertheless it is in their interests to have neighbors with governments friendly to their own.

But here in Latin America we certainly don't notice any Iranian interference in our affairs.

On the other hand, most of the leaders of death squads and military coups here have US military training. This is true for the recent coup in Honduras as well as pretty much any other coup d'etat in Latin America ever since Monroe was president of the US.

You also wont have a Job because you can't afford to go to college.

This is exactly why young people should stay in the US and fight to change it rather than run off around the world violently forcing this shitty American system on everybody else.

Just saying.

Considering that Iran is run by very religious Shiites who passionately hate the Taliban's brand of Muslim, I'm calling bullshit on that.

It's like accusing the Vatican of supporting Seventh Day Adventists. Only a fool could believe it, even though they agree with each other on gay marriage.

Just because arson is illegal doesn't mean it's not an option. Look at what the Americans did to buildings full of Iraqis for inspiration.

No matter how old you get, those Victoria's Secret models are seductive.

Especially when they let you remove the clothes they model. With your teeth.

At least he gets to die finally instead of being religiously faithful and spending eternity with God trying to come up with new stuff or improvising on old stuff, which, if you understand what eternity means, means going insane repeating and repeating and repeating without respite.
