The Political Discussion Thread

[Coco Pops]

Interesting that ISIS has even got Al Qaeda running scared.......

Yet why are these people hiding their faces? Are we sure they're not agent provocateurs paid to cause mayhem?

[Falcon Horus]

Probably because the longer they remain anonymous, the longer they can operate. When recognized, we would be able to take them down far quicker.

[Womble]

OK serious question.

Why does the USA give Israel lots of money every year that they probably don't need?

It's like the bar owner paying off the mafia for protection

Yup, because if they don't pay, Israeli suicide bombers will crash planes into Manhattan skyscrapers.

Aliens discussing their outlandish alien politics...

Ferguson riots continue and among them was a man carrying a sign with "ISIS is here" written on it. That is bloody scary.

Scary how dumb that man is.

That's because guns in real life don't work like they do in movies.
A 9 mill won't put a 300 pound man down with one shot. Unless its a very good shot.

I think the outcry has more to do with the fact that various witness testimony (including the cops') puts the guy at 30 feet away and unarmed when he was shot and killed. And worse than that, he had turned around and put his hands up to surrender according to other people who saw what happened. It looks a lot like an execution.

Why can't Hamas and the Palestinians just leave Israel [...]

They're not in Israel.

Was this before or after he nearly knocked the cops eye out?

They're not in Israel.

Yeah. Gaza is a million miles detached from Israel.

incidentally if you gun down someone who's trying to punch your lights out I wonder if the SS or the DA will be as lenient with you as they were with that copper

What do you mean "were"? They are gonna throw him under the bus whether he is guilty or not.

Its not justice the people want. Its politically driven vengeance.

[Gatefan1976]

That's why we have a LEGAL system, not a JUSTICE system.

[The Flyattractor]

Yeah. Like that makes ANY deference.

[Gatefan1976]

Yeah. Like that makes ANY deference.

It makes a huge difference.

[SoulReaver]

when Israel was throwing rockets on Gaza, and Hamas was catapulting them right back

you sure you got the order right?

[SoulReaver]

he still ain't indicted (a commoner would already be in an orange jumper by now)

besides in the US they've been cleared for less than that
not that the DA had much of a choice. lol

[jelgate]

Not just the US. People get around the legal system all the time in other developed countries
