Internet atheists are way, way more annoying than Christians. And infinitely more preachy and arrogant. The belief that through simply being atheist you are somehow superior and smarter than all those sheeple-Christians is beyond retarded. The "but christians killed a lot of pplz in the middle ages!!!!11" and "but religion caused 9/11!!1!!" arguments are also retarded, because this is about as true as saying "The Catcher in the Rye leads to celebrity murders". People and their stupid interpretations are at fault, not religion as a concept. And whenever I hear an atheist say they "believe in science", I ask them if they could recite the second law of thermodynamics, or at least explain the theorem of Pythagoras. They usually can't. All this is coming from an atheist, mind you, I just think that the don't-stick-your-beliefs-up-my-throat thing goes both ways.
The military are contract killers for their government, no matter how they justify and rationalize what they do.
All drugs should be legalized, even the hard ones, and their distribution should be controlled by the government. It wouldn't affect the amount of the addicted in any significant way. The amount of OD's, however, would go down significantly due to the government making sure only the clean product is distributed. Also, the organized crime loses a whole venue of income, and thus no more shit like Pablo Escobar's reign of terror or Mexican cartel wars. The key thing is strict governmental control of quality and so forth so as to avoid unnecessary health risks. Drug contraband, of course, must be made absolutely impossible. But, naturally, the first country to implement all this gets to see their parliament building burned down on the first day all this takes effect, because most people are stupid and retrograde.
