  • Which countries are you thinking of? There aren't that many that still consider themselves socialist or communist. Cuba is really the only good example i can think of that fits what you are describing.

  • What's pathetic is the Nobel peace prize in general. Remember when they gave it to Obama before he even got to office? Felt like they were trying to influence him or suck up to him.

  • So why did life expectancy go up so much around the rest of the world at the same time? Come on...

  • Those metrics improved worldwide during those time periods. It had more to do with the development of vaccines and antibiotics.

  • But mostly just don't want to see points of view that we disagree with.

  • It helps to think of getting sick as the price you pay for boosting your immune system.

  • Maybe they should swear in on a guillotine.

  • So basically anyone who wants to come here can come as long as they are law abiding and not diseased or whatever?

  • How do you have open borders and yet restrict criminals or suspected terrorists from entering? Either you have no restrictions or you have some restrictions. If you have some restrictions then you will have illegals that need to be deported which means you will need some kind of enforcement to do the deporting. There is no feasible way to run a modern country with truly open borders.

  • Affordable Health care isn't why you are fat...

  • I have no problem with it. Any limitation on candy is fine by me. It's a luxury and a treat and it should stay that way. Not sorry if the candy and high fructose corn syrup industry suffers either.

  • The pandemic, or rather the handling of the pandemic, IS the reason. People lost confidence in a lot of institutions during the pandemic.

  • It also won't prevent you from collecting a gang and bullying people.

  • So nothing then. If you want something then you take it, if you are more powerful. That sounds problematic.

  • Well in the context of the original story, who is the Nazis? Is it the Chinese government putting peaceful Christians in jail? Or is it the Christians themselves who present a danger to society, thereby justifying their incarceration/disappearance. Seems like the answer should be obvious, and yet people don't agree.

  • Nah that's just a way to justify being intolerant while acting like you value tolerance.

  • Yeah? Did they throw you in jail for your beliefs? Or try to kill you? There's a difference between expressing an ignorant or bigoted opinion, compared to infringing on someone's human rights.

  • At this point the paradox of intolerance is used to justify intolerance more than it's used to prevent intolerance.

  • People have been making jokes since weeks after 9/11, and too soon has been a meme the whole time. I'm assuming and hoping that it still will be in 100 years.

    where were you when oj was kill?
