  1. It’s kinda interesting all the non military goodness that magically happens when you subsidize everyone else’s military.
  2. You are confusing two very different dimensions, muddling class and income distributions. I understand why the politicians do it. Not sure why you echo it.
  3. Mid to upper middle class. People need to divorce themselves from the idea that middle income equals middle class. You are confusing two very different distributions. The American middle class has been defined by a few different aspects of lifestyle: 1) Attainable home ownership; 2) Security in the basic necessities of life; 3) Educational opportunity; 4) Leisure time; 5) Retirement security. There are some other aspects for sure, but I think those are pretty core. The reality is that middle income is not able to support those aspects in the US. It use to be, and not too long ago. But the disconnect between the income distributions and "class" segmentation is apparent at this point and only growing. But we can fix this. We just need more aircraft carrier groups on deployment.
  4. Now. Right now would be a very good time. This needs to be done.
  5. Congrats on stringing that many words together and hitting submit. Longest post from you on this thread, about me. Its funny when you give a little glimpse into your delusional inner dialogue.
  6. Ripe jap. 3# grass fed chili grind, maybe 10 guajillos, 5 anchos, some various other small peppers. Float one fucking jalapeno and I got wife and kids complaining about heat. I told them that that shit was like 0.5 X and they need to grow some balls. Not the wife though, tttiawwt.
  7. For as good as your posts are, well nowhere, your ad hominem and condescension in this forum is actually an improvement on your typical hall monitor schtick here.
  8. Sorry I guess for condescending the notion that the illegal settlements in the west bank are not a rejection of the "Rule of Law".
  9. Holy shit, I think that you are actually serious.
  10. Yes, and those that were rebuilt with donated funds (substantially from Jewish donors, btw) were successfully producing crops that could not be exported and ultimately were left to rot, because the state of Israel has had and still has an economic noose around Gaza's neck. The population, mostly fucking children and minors, have no employment, education, or other options. They get to wallow in subjection, mental illness, and hopelessness. But hey, they had it coming to them. Park a couple aircraft carriers off the beach and make sure nothing gets too distasteful. Great foreign policy take we got here.
  11. You can't keep the beat, quite expected.
  12. East Jerusalem and the WB are the primary and proximal objective. Gaza is dumpster fire, as intended.
  13. That would require Israel to not repeat the strategy of total economic blockade and tactics such as closing down Karni in 2006 which made agriculture financially unviable. BUt tHosE aNimAls dEsTroYEd tHe beAuTiFuL tHInGs tHe eVer BEneVoLenT isRaElIs lEfT fOr THeM.
  14. LOL. There have been lots of opportunities over the last decade+. The "Where is their Ghandi?" people were pretty fucking quiet around here when the IDF was shooting non-violent protesters at the Gaza border fences, they have been silent as a church mouse while settlers shot innocent palestinians in the WB and bulldoze their houses, and not a fucking peep with the IDF cold blooded murders a palestinian reporter, lies and obfuscates about it and nobody is held to account. The reality is that nobody gives a fuck.
  15. Pariah state meet Merica.
  16. Not for those that want to paint Palestinians as a bunch of subhuman sons of darkness as contrasted with the sons of the light.
  17. The quoted sounds like something a terrorist sympathizer would say.
  18. Sure, but we should probably also require the dismantling of the domestic arms industry that we have financially funded in Israel.
  19. I can get on board with this, with the caveat that no US funds or weapons should be injected into the situation now and moving forward, and that our supports efforts should be humanitarian focussed in nature.
  20. Can we also bounce them off the wall at the radical settlement schools teaching that Arabs are subhumans and will be genocided, except for the few that they decide to keep around as slaves.
