Not sure what your point is? Are you defending him for having a gun?

Even at 5 to 7 ( and to teenage years) there are stretching exercises that can be done to loosen the foreskin and completely make the surgery unnecessary (and yes there are rare cases where that doesn't help and surgery is the last resort). I would still say you didn't have consent at 5 or 6. Sorry to hear you got mutilated

Abrahamic religions 101:

Sure, military industrial complex is probably the phrase you are looking for. I have no solution other than we tried our best in the US with having a civilian leader of the military, just it was impossible to foresee how much money would corrupt the entire political spectrum. All I can tell you is it's established every society (no matter how big or small) is going to have to have some sort of defense - otherwise they will get pillaged sooner or later.

Problem is people with armies usually want to start conquests eventually.... No one has figured out how to stop this through history other than having a bigger and better army

Full agreement. My heart is with OP, but it's a sad fact of life on this planet that peace without violence or threat of massive violence just is not usually possible.

The truth is there are fucked up people out there, and worse there are the real parasites that seem to love licking the boots of horrible people (staring at Trump and his ass lickers).

Honestly one just has to look at nature - everything from the bacteria to the plants to the birds and mammals are in a constant fight to the death over their next meal or territory - us primates have not been able to escape it, and I don't think we will (staring at water scarcity, food scarcity, upcoming energy crisis, upcoming climate change crisis, etc etc). Sprinkle a little bit of population explosion into the mix, along with wealth disparity - It's just gonna get fucking worse going forward I fear

Sort of amazed you have Reagan so high

Last time this made the rounds, it was said she didn't know the dildo was there, a friend put it there as a prank. It was also said she deleted all her social media and whatnot afterwards too. I don't have source and admit I can be totally off

Let's hope so

I hope you understand that services you also pay for are also selling your data.

My sweet sweet summer child. I hope you one day find the most beautiful partner and you both go crazy on each other in unspeakable ways - throw all that "clear thinking" out the window and live in the moment at least once

This is exactly what I would expect to read from a normy who never had their ass eaten.

This headline is for republican's in denial about their party to feel better about themselves. Those of us who have paid attention to conservatives knew for decades what they really were (I used to tell republicans for years this is what their party is, many used to laugh and handwave telling me I'm silly for thinking what this headline says)

I'd say your doing better than many if you have surplus money! But to your point, I do agree slaving away all day to make someone else rich sucks

"for more money than I need" - that's the real trick, employers aren't exactly looking to give people more money than they need, it's sort of the exact opposite typically

Are you forgetting their conservative personalities like S.E.Cup, Lou Dobbs, etc?

CNN was never lefty anyway.

Please go into detail what these interests are. I want sources too and not general statements like "we need a strong ally on the middle east"

I bought someone a Vitamix once - I was sort of shocked I was able to throw stuff in it, blend it, turn up the speed, and the blended stuff came out hot and consumable as a hot soup. It was easily cleanable, motor is strong, and just consistent and reliable. I suppose I had sticker shock too, but after seeing them in action, I feel it is top end stuff that one would happily pass on to kids, but I don't use a lot of blenders to really compare

Amazing how people don't understand the dynamics of a proxy war with Russia, but let me explain it. Russia wants to invade our allies, and if they attack a NATO country (which they absolutely want to, Ukraine was geographically in their way) it would cost us so much more money and lives. Fighting this proxy war, and defeating Russia, is the the absolutely cheapest and best possible outcome for US interests (i.e. the US is not doing the fighting, it's supply a fraction of what the US was absolutely going to have to spend if Russia was successful).

Now funding Israel's land grab n' genocide is a whole other thing, just as us funding the house of Saud (the guys who have spare billions laying around to bride presidents...).

You will never get enough people to join in, for various reasons, but I think a big reason is the big money won with media propaganda and influence, and misinformation is just going to get worse.

Look how well occupy wall street went, BLM protests went, look at the current state of anti-Isreal genocide protests are going (people literally cheering for the genocide of kids, and they don't wanna hear anything about it).
