Life

The way you guys talk about Trump makes me want to know where the Coca-Cola Death Squads are. I've been expecting them for 2 years and I'm disappointed. But don't let anyone, left or right, change your constitution. That shit needs to stay as it is. And I'm saying that after the Nationality Bill just passed here in Israel where non-Jews now definitively have less rights than Jews here and I'm waiting for my turn to go to jail.

To be absolutely fair, there are so many people who enjoyed watching Merkel and Macron get slammed by Trump, myself included. Not necessarily because I like Trump but I despise the EU and European leaders.

Alex Jones is hilarious if you don't actually take him seriously. Hence my signature.

The biggest issue is that even with War Plan Purple, it took a lot of energy to even get MEPs to say "you know, maybe this shouldn't actually be negotiated behind closed doors". I've come to accept this from the EU. Nothing really new, just another attempt to take control of something else.

Belgium just lost me 100 shekel. DAMMIT, LUKAKU, YOU HAD ONE JOB TO DO.

I'm cheering on Odin's Eleven because seeing Argentina get eliminated in groups by Iceland, Nigeria and Croatia (which is more possible than it first sounds) would be hilarious. Money on Belgium winning, though.

I know what you're talking about because as a Bills fan, Darryl Talley's name is seared into my mind (Seau and MacNair are also up there but you mentioned Seau). That man threw his body at receivers and QBs for years and when it turned out that his brain was damaged beyond repair, the NFL tried to bury his name and just about succeeded.

Education for education's sake is always a good thing. However, your art degree is going to be next to useless in the practical world. That is why people joke about how BAs in English are effectively a waste of time. They offer no practicality in terms of skills. Your call on how to proceed. I think that it's better to develop a skill first that is not only useful but desired (for me, it's 4+ years as a line cook) before striking for knowledge.

Oh yeah, the man who enjoyed bombing brown people as a hobby was a "class act". Let's not bare any bones about it, John McCain was about as close as you can get to describing a "war criminal" without using those two words. If you want to eulogize him, sure. But don't expect me to follow along.

Futures? No. I only bet second halves so that I can see how the game is going. Plus, I'm usually better than Vegas when it comes to setting lines, especially O/Us. Vegas plays to the sucker and that where I get to clean up.

Finally. Someone who nailed it about the Bills. We weren't deserving of that playoff spot but it didn't matter because we ended the drought.

Trade to 7th and... Josh Allen. Huh. I wanted Rosen. But OK, we're still rebuilding and not supposed to make the playoffs this year anyway. EDIT: Trade up for 16th with the Ravens and picked up Tremaine Edmunds. Kid is a MONSTER. This defense is going to fun for the next few years.

Can I +1 this? The Cleveland Browns just Cleveland Brown'd the draft yet again.

I'm actually excited this year. Staying up to watch it. Want to see what the Bills do. Most obvious idea is to try to trade up to 2 and take Josh Rosen (or Darnold if the Browns actually fuck this one up like usual) but who knows? Also, post your favourite team so I can make a list of fans, even if we both know who you support.

How is that relevant? Are you insinuating that immigrants have less of a right to comment on problems in their new country?

I've been against every single time we do shit in Syria regarding Hezbollah. But my government has never publically come and said "oh yeah, we want the secular dictator who is leaving us alone gone" until now. I wasn't aware that I needed to explain here that I am not exactly happy with everything (or almost anything) my gov't does but now I know. The idea that Bibi wants Assad gone and quickly (especially because Bibi's staring down the end of a legal gun that's getting closer by the day) is terrifying to me because that might actually mean a full invasion under the guise of "removing the link between Hezbollah and Iran". Which means I die. Not figuratively. No, I and everyone around me simply dies. And before anyone asks me "but what about those innocent Syrians", fuck them. I am under no moral obligation to care about their well-being more than mine and my country's. None. Excuse me for being passionate but tomorrow night is the start of Yom Hazikaron (Remembrance Day for our soldiers). I refuse to entertain the idea of sacrificing more friends around the time when I'm mourning one of them.

Bingo. Unless I'm being a terrible person for not wanting to go to more funerals because a bunch of champagne bourgeoisie liberals in the West are crying about "oh, the morality". I'm simply pointing out that if you want to do something effective, this would have to be Iraq all over again. And I don't want that ON MY BORDER. EDIT: I think it bears mentioning that I think I am the only one here who has actually been in a warzone as a fighting soldier. Please do not be so cavalier with soldiers' lives.

The lack of rap makes me sad. Jeopardy - Run The Jewels Still Standing - Pharoahe Monch Stray Bullet - Organized Konfusion Meatgrinder - Madvillain When It Rain - Danny Brown Spin Cycle - Eyedea & Abilities 1000 Whispers - Illogic The Sticker Song - Hadag Nahash (Hebrew) Rak La'alot - Cafe Shahor Hazak (Hebrew) Hafinale - Subliminal (Hebrew) Just to start. Last three are great even if you don't understand them.

So, we should just support attacking a sovereign nation (a declaration of war) that won't do anything in the long run just to feel good about ourselves? If you want to eliminate the possibility of another chemical attack, you need to either raze the country entirely or sweep from house to house. Either that or you just want to feel good about yourself without actually doing anything to help anyone.

So Syrians killed Syrians so we must kill Syrians to stop Syrians from killing Syrians? Have I got that right? I have my own feelings about it but I'm now worried about getting called up for miluim (reservist duty). And remember, this affects me far more than you guys because I actually need a semi-stable Syria on my border.

That one? I literally quoted an American Communist professor for that. A George Ciccarello-Maher, if I recall correctly. Which led to a New York Times piece on how he was getting "attacked by trolls". That was fun.

That's tongue-in-cheek humour from about a year ago that I haven't changed (I also have a sweatshirt that reads "Communists are bad people"). I though the title of "legal plunder" would show my disdain from Communists considering that it is what I view most taxation as and only "right wing nut jobs" use that term at all.

It's far more complicated than just "vote Kadima". The entire left wing is a mess, not just the leadership. And asking me to vote left-wing is asking me to vote against my own principles. I'd rather not vote in that case. Because I'm either abstaining or voting Zehut. But the point I was making was the principle about firearms and an armed citizenry. Either we agree on that basic principle or we don't.

Yes and for good reason too. If the army decided to randomly invade my home, I have: 1) No legal recourse. 2) No legal option for self-defense. Now imagine that I am a political dissident who speaks out against my government (I actually am because I'm a libertarian while my gov't is leaning farther towards an ethno-theocracy every day rather than being a liberal democracy). What Maduro did to his political opponents in Venezuela could legally happen to me. I'm not exaggerating when I say this; the only thing that prevents this from even having a chance at happening is that the generals of the IDF are left-wing. This is the point I am making. If your citizenry can only be armed at your government's good graces, what happens when a totalitarian shows up? I'm not saying the USA is perfect. But this is the other half of the argument that actually happens in 2nd and 3rd world countries.

This is the only one I really want to comment on because you've actually said some factually incorrect things here. - There are no such thing as "gun rights" here. Every single piece of hardware is owned by the military, even if they are only used by private contractors and citizens. You cannot buy a gun; only petition the army for permission to have one. And knives are also effectively illegal meaning that if my home gets broken into, I effectively have nothing to defend myself with on a legal basis. I personally am lucky because one of my roommates is currently in service in a combat unit so we actually do have a rifle in my apartment. But when she finishes, there goes my right to self-defense. - That "military-grade health evaluation" that you mentioned is not as effective as you think. In fact, it's far worse. And I can say this for a fact because it almost barred me from serving in a combat unit despite the fact that I was and am in perfect mental health. Oh and I was never given a reason for why I was barred from combat service but I got lucky in overturning it because I had to fight and risk military jail. And I'm not the exception here. What you are implying is that I (as a law-abiding and mentally healthy citizen) would then be entirely barred from the basic right to self-preservation what may have been a simple clerical error or a misdiagnosis without ever being given a reason as for why. And I would have to risk jail time to fight for that right. No, thank you. - As an extra thing, we have no 4th amendment here either. If the IDF wanted, they could search and seize my home in a heartbeat and I would have no legal recourse OR the ability to defend my property. That's another thing of note and something that all totalitarian states have in common. Luckily, it's an army made up of the yeomanry so it won't realistically happen any time soon. Just wanted to correct some incorrect statements here.
