    I'm fine with older people holding office... If they can pass a battery of tests, held by an impartial third-party (the problem here would be political infiltration via bribes and such), designed to see if they have any cognitive impairments. Biden, for example, would've been taken out to...

    She's a Democrat. Unless the rest of the Party makes her a scapegoat, the possibility of her facing any actual consequences is less than a Banana Republic suddenly having actual free and fair elections. :p ...Wait, that's the United States.

    That's the first thing that came to mind on seeing the video title. Those mice had everything... and then they abruptly began killing themselves, each other, and doing... ah, "other things".

    Oh, for fuck's sake. facepalm They're really not helping the stigma attached to gay people by doing shit like this. Keep it in your fucking pants; being gay doesn't excuse you from acting like a fucking degenerate. And, yes, I'd still say this if it were a man and a woman fucking in the same...

    To be fair, the Groomers United are the safest they've been in Gaza for a long while. After all, there are no tall buildings left for them to be thrown off now. :p

    Family basically disowning and kicking them out (this includes teenagers), honour killings (where the male relatives kill the daughter that refuses to marry the man they've picked out for her), acid attacks and other harm (such as physical violence), mistreatment, and even kidnapping (a...

    Same thing happens in the UK: third or fourth gen Pakistani or other migrants are completely alien to their expanded family back in the Old Country, or even their parents/grandparents. This often leads to tragedy when the Western, British kids are expected to marry their cousin or uncle fifth...

    This is exactly what this is. They're literally bringing Old World grudges to your political and cultural system. Also, I'd say "second generation" at least, since they're raised/born American, but even then the parents would influence them at home with, well, Old World baggage. It's a...

    Oh, I've been cynical for a lot longer than 2020, but that year was the shitty icing on an even bigger shit-cake.

    And I hope he's not. Perhaps I'm just being a bit cynical, but with how much of a dumpster fire the world is at the moment, could you blame me? Also, the Left sacrificing Disney is something I can easily see. The Left eat their own, after all.

    Yep. This might be just basically be a "how do you do, fellow teens?" op to make the masses think he's like Trump on certain issues/moral stances, while in reality it's just a dog and pony show. There's a chance it might work.

    It's the difference between a rotting, festering turd filled with maggots and a stale, untouched turd. Both are disgusting, but one is far worse. The Republicans aren't saints (and some of their policies are abhorrent to me personally), but the Democrats are fucking evil across the whole board.

    The improvement needs to continue, though; we can't let the monopoly grow stronger. Also, didn't know that about Rush -- you learn something new every day. :)

    It's true there are alternatives which are breaking free of such monopolies, but on a grand scale, with the general population of Western countries? They're niche at best. Until they become mainstream alternatives, the monopolies will always control what the masses hear, see, and (indirectly)...

    That's one of the main problems: control of information. They control what people see and hear, and by extension what they can think. It's pretty insidious.
