I'm not really all that sure what to make of the United States responses. It seems like to me they're trying their best to say the right things and continue to do the things they want, like voting to fund Israel during this latest skirmish.

They do seem to be under a lot of pressure to say the right things though and that's interesting. As usual with these situations it might not become all that clear until a year or years afterwards.

Thing is everybodies propaganda stream is in complete fucking overdrive. You see it on here or any social media, people leaping in and rewriting history and facts left and right. Sober analysis probably won't come till later.

Good, Fuck Off.

I love how insane these things are. And how there's schools and churches and tv shows in the US talking about the same stuff about Muslims. You can imagine how bad the propaganda would be if Muslims controlled Mexico or something. The US might just go insane and nuke them.

The ideas some people have, and then trying to rope children into it. It's disgusting.

OH OH Good @ChaosEngine says there should be strong oversight. Well while we're wishing for that how about we wish for a whole host of other things to happen that never fucking will.

YIPPIE Wishing is fun! Everyone get's a wish boys and girls. If you wish for your parents to stop raping you nightly I'm afraid we angels love watching it far too much to put a stop to it. LAH DEE DAH!

Department of Energy study says Fracking is Safe. Do you believe them? Also the idea that we'd allow Fracking BEFORE it's proven to not put harmful chemicals into our drinking water is absurd. Why would we conduct a mass experiment on the public, why aren't the chemicals released to the public.

I'm sorry but some of you guys are off the fucking reservation if you think that it's just ok to do experiments on humans. Let's just try shit and hope it doesn't kill everyone. Yeah that'll work. NO these corporations need to be stopped.

So it's going to happen does that mean we should just give up and not regulate it?

It's amazing how many people here just TRUST Corporations. They're only ONLY interested in the bottom line. If they kill a few hundred people and can sweep it under the rug like GM did, why wouldn't they?

So you can't prove a negative, let's inject chemicals into children? This world has almost been destroyed several times over because people just assumed things would be ok if they tried some shit. America was going to use Nuclear Bombs to clear a bit of Alaska and they couldn't do it because some eskimos said "You don't know what'll happen." They know now that basically all of north america would be destroyed.

So you come back with "Can't prove a negative" I come back with, STOP FUCKING WITH SHIT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. You can trust the government and corporations all you want. I want them regulated. Plain and fucking simple.

They keep saying the referee didn't see it. How do they know that immediately? I mean sometimes the referee could see something but the player could own up to it before the referee has a chance to say something. I think at least some of these were the player admitting and the referee agreeing because they were just about to call it.

Not like snooker refs have a whistle.

Oh it's a perfect use. A portable easy to set up boom shot, I love it.

Do humans like belly rubs?

Women in Japan have apps on their phone that they turn on and show to the person who is groping them. It tells them to please stop and what you are doing is wrong. Groping on the trains in Japan is a big big problem apparently, and the culture is one where you should never speak up or draw attention to yourself. Lots of people commit suicide on the train tracks too.

I don't have anything to add really because I'm not the largest guy but I look like someone you maybe don't want to fuck with. I have been in situations where I felt threatened by a group of people but that comes with being a referee. I always ALWAYS have the ability to just leave, and one day I probably will. Especially if people keep killing referees.

Other than that I have nothing to add to this particular subject. I have never felt threatened anywhere but my job. I would not like to know how that feels.

@bareboards2 crushed it.

Corporations and the US Government has tested many things on the American public and when people protest the answer is "Prove it hurts you." I'm sorry but that's not how it works, you have to prove that it doesn't hurt us, they onus is not on the people to bring evidence of it creating harm, the onus is on you.

So yeah because it's done in a lab by a corporation who is complicit in war crimes. Because it's done in a Lab by a government that is known for testing medicines on people without telling them. Because of these facts the onus is on you. PROVE that it is not harmful, create meaningful and effective regulation of GMOs and then THEN we might embrace all of it whole heartedly.

Until that time, these questions are valid despite what you think. It's the people in the black neighborhoods who hate cops, because the way the cops treat them. It's not an insane standpoint.

Ok then, don't feel the need to read anything ever then. They're un-people, just destroy them.

Why would they? Why would Americans? They have to be the most propagandized to. There is billions spent on public relations in all mediums in order to make sure that the actual stories don't get out. The information, the signal needs to be controlled as much as possible.

This is especially true in a democracy. You don't need to do anything when you have your boot on the populations neck. When it's a democracy though you have to Manufacture Consent of the governed so they can't possibly know what they're actually consenting to.

Also in these cases almost 100% the people most demonized is those people who are being crushed. So we have to kill the Palestinians before they destroy us all. They're seconds from doing it, we have to stop them before they kill us all. The amount of fear people need to be pumped up with is mind boggling, and it makes them do crazy things. Like argue on the internet pointlessly for hours and hours.
