wow U.S. Homeland Security is pretty darn stupid for what must be a multi billion dollar organization. I hope you guys feel safe.
New Hulk Mark Ruffalo On U.S. Terror Watch List UPDATE

I can't tell if this is angering me because he was put on the list because he opposed the oil industry, or laugh at the government's stupidity for doing it because he was explaining how fracking works.
EDIT: the whole damned problem with the country is our political parties.
If we weren't split into to groups all the damned time, maybe we could actually make some progress. If you aren't a Democrat or a Republican, nobody cares about you here. We should just abolish parties and have everybody run as a individual.

I would find it hilarious myself, except it probably puts him on the no-fly list, too. Hope that doesn't affect his working.
Good side of that is he doesn't have to worry about TSA agents getting all one-on-one with him.

Vermont has a lower crime rate than Britain. Actually, many, many states have a lower crime rate than Britain. The states and areas of the United States that have a high crime rate are the ones that refuse to let their citizens carry guns, such as California. British cities such as Gloucester and Limerick consistently have the highest crime rates in Europe. In the European Union, countries such as Britain and Luxembourg consistently have the highest crime rates, Countries such as Switzerland and Finland consistently have the lowest crime rates. The countries in the European Union that let people carry guns consistently have lower crime rates, countries that don't let their citizens carry guns consistently have higher crime rates.this isnt my name said:
The states that let people carry guns consistently have lower crime rates, the ones that don't consistently have higher. I think you need to be more open minded. And automatically assuming that American conservatives are wrong isn't really open minded. Not that I advocate automatically assuming liberals are wrong either, as they tend to be correct on many things.
A. It doesn't matter what it was called, it could have been called Operation Babies and Puppies but the war wouldn't have been about babies and puppies.RelexCryo said:
B. The issue is that there is no popular ownership of the insurance companies. Regulation is not, by any means, socialist. Regulating the insurance companies is unpopular with laissez-faire conservatives who throw around accusations of socialism at everything they don't like, which is likely where the confusion came from. Socialism would be if the government shut down the insurance companies, not if the government imposes some basic, common-sense regulation.
*m'f'ing headdesk* I'm feling a strong urge to march on the Homeland Security Temple with a battalion of clone troopers.

Pray-tell, what is that "something" we should do then?
If you are going to complain, then I suggest you present an alternative.
So either present an alternative, or stop posting troll-bait.
I'll be waiting.
A) You are assuming it was about WMD's/Oil rather than bringing freedom to an oppressed people because you like to leap to the worst possible conclusions. Given a choice between believing we wanted to overthrow an evil dictator and bring freedom to an enslaved people, and believing we were paranoid and stupid, you choose the second, despite the name of the operation itself.megs1120 said:
B) Technically, the insurance companies are popularly owned. They are publicly traded companies with millions of stockholders. They are quite literally owned by the people. But I will agree that regulation is necessary, and that it is not necessarily socialist, and that many corporate leaders are selfish and irrational in their dislike for regulation. Far too many corporations break the law and get away with it, there should be more enforcement of the laws, as it stands corporations commit theft by yanking away pensions, and yet they don't go to criminal court for it. Far too much of what corporations do doesn't go to criminal court.
Well at least he has a good sense of humor, but why does this sound so familiar?
Oh dear sweet Caroline it's finally happened...
I never said I wasn't talking down to the English though, that's the difference. You proved my point in thinking you are superior when you are not. I never said America was superior, I just said why England isn't either. The thing that I don't like is this posh sense of "America is a hell hole and we British are far superior" You all claim you don't act like that, then in the same sentence continue to bash other people and countries.this isnt my name said:
And how do you take the fact im a racist bastard from saying the English have a invalid feeling of Superiority? How at all does that imply me being racist? Racist is the belief one RACE is superior to another. What i said has zero to do with race, seeing as both countries have many different races living in them.
Yep you caught me. I was the ONLY PERSON who put him on the list, and it was because of how much I hate people who question anything we do. It totally wasn't a clerical error, or some overzealous person. You are right. America is worse than Mexico's drug cartels, Africa's warfare and AIDS, Irans...everything, North Korea's rathole of a country, China's destruction of free rights, or even France's days of rioting because of the retirement age. America is one of the worst countries and the straw that broke the camel's back was when I put an actor's name on a POTENTIAL no fly list.Fumbleumble said:
Sorry everyone, it was totally me. Totally calling it.
On a serious note, that's pretty stupid. But didn't England put some conservative radio host as banned from entering their country because of his views?
