Nothing more satisfying than a terrorized terrorist. I'm sure families and friends of the kids that died will agree. How is the air up there on Phony Mc Moral Highground?

It won't be a few hundred years, but it's going to be at least a few decades. Maybe. I doubt it will happen in the 21st century. First, there is no financial incentive to go.

Don't know if I'll be alive when Musk makes a manned flight to Mars... You won't be alive, nor I, nor our kids or grand kids. We're not going to Mars for a long time. It won't be Space X going there either (also Musk is a dumbass). There are some incredible hurdles to overcome for a manned round tr...

I'm really curious to know why woodchip is being treated with kid gloves here.

Ok woodchip is now literally reposting huge swaths of text from right-wing propaganda sites. He can't even use his own words anymore. Why it this spamming allowed? We wouldn't tolerate it from a bot, why tolerate it from someone no different from a bot?

Anybody that thinks getting rid of rich people will get rid of the poor as well is a fool. I don't know a single person who thinks that. Where did you come up with that idea? Reducing wealth inequality serves as a way to balance power dynamics so people aren't exploited. Rich and poor are relative,...

vision

Except for the rich? Saying rich people shouldn't exist is simply pointing out that a system which allows for such gross inequality does not make for a healthy society, especially since the rich exploit the poor. They always have, but that doesn't mean we should just accept it because we can change...

Every little bit helps. The Internet is full of bots, the least we can do is make the human content be as good as it can be.

Don't shame people for how they look and dance. Trump's character is repulsive enough.

The primary reason for taking prisoners during a war is to remove combatants from the battlefield and provide information. Except when it's not.

I ended up watching an english dub of Macross SDF-1 (the show that first season of Robotech was based on) and it was much better than I remembered.

"I'll vote for them for life." Just to be clear, I make statements like this because, at this point, to vote for anyone besides the Democratic Party would require a cultural shift and those generally take a long time, most likely longer than I'll be alive since I'm getting pretty old. Ide...

It's not pandering if I'm not being exploited. They made a promise to help people and delivered on the promise. By voting for them I make help possible for others and I'm not exploiting anyone in the process.
