You literally didn't read my whole quote. I listed that as one of 3 options. Eh, the best argument I've seen for women soldiers is in Israel, where there were notable instances of them saving lives in the Hamas conflict. Basically, Israel is in that situation of all adults serve necessarily, so...

Yeah, but also the teachers can't vote, those on welfare can't vote, teachers can't vote, and bureaucrats can't vote. Look, ultimately I don't view voting as a right or a goal. Democracy is simply a system. The goal is maximum freedom with some sense of order. It should be more like it, but...

I didn't say privatize it. I said that would be the one way to have it and preserve the vote (to shorten the sentence "it should be privatized or lose the right to vote"). I purposely left a variety of options available. Yeah. The reason isn't that I hate the military. I don't hate public...

Doctors and medical personal don't work for the government in the US, and shouldn't be anywhere. Yes, cops shouldn't vote. And firefighting should either be privatized, or in some places its done on a volunteer basis, or again, lose the right to vote. If you are getting public funds, you...

I don't want former bureaucrats to vote. IMO, any government worker other than frontline combatants should instead lose (probably permanently) the right to vote, as they do not produce stuff and live off of theft.

No, the last thing we want is government workers getting to vote on if the government should expand. Because Bureaucracy will quickly make sure that they qualify. Though I do disagree on the tax part: tax dodging is a moral good, and shouldn't be discriminated against!

It's a race to be the least healthy!

No, now is when you chow down! Get less fit, enough that you can't hit draft requirements! The old strategy of declaring yourself gay no longer works, sadly.

I'm very much not doing this as a mod. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. No mod voice = no mod power. This is just a user who's sick of hearing the constant yelling. Not to get too off topic here, but yes. I'm an atheist, and nothing annoys me more than an atheist who denies that historical...

You've demonstrated an extension that lets you do it client side. Use that. Please.

@Marduk? @Agent23? Both of you just block the other one already, and the world will be a better place. Please stop talking to each other, no one cares about who cheated on who first.

Eh, that's a very different prospect when nuclear armed. Also, Seoul is a few million people effectively held hostage.

The problem was China's alliance + Seoul being within artillery range (and there's more artillery on the DMZ than anywhere else).

The way thread alerts work is either OP alerts or alerts on unread posts (which only happen if everything in the thread is read).

If you want to start a thread for that, that's fine. But the staff know that occasionally people will want to post memes outside of those, and that's fine, just don't turn non-meme threads into meme threads.

Posting memes is fine. Please don't turn this into a meme thread though. In light of this, memes in this thread are now going to be looked closely at to ensure they are on topic.
