| I didn't say anything about conventional military capability and I quite aware that the conflict is asymmetric. If most of the militants are killed and most of the underground tunnels destroyed though, then their strength and advantages are still weakened. Weakened for now. They will rebuild. This ... |

| Turns out the GOP can really get behind anti-hate speech legislation, but only if it protects one of the few minorities they actually sometimes care about. They only care about the Jews for the news cameras. They only care about end times prophesies. I guarantee that once those cameras are turned o... |

| Israel talks about wanting to destroy Hamas but their actions ensure whoever replaces Hamas will not struggle in the slightest to find recruits. Which would make no difference if they no longer have military capability. They would need a long time to rebuild that. We still rambling on about convent... |

| Jerry was never that funny. Seinfeld is itself a hilarious show, but the situational comedy is always leaps and bounds above his standup. He is probably anti-"woke" because he can't get away with all the comedy he used to. That and the fact that more people are learning that he dated a 17 ... |

| Maybe 1/3 of the cast of Fire Emblem Fates is borderline unlikable. Corrin especially is dumb as a bag of hammers in the most frustrating ways. Mine is mostly Rosalina "So you have chosen... Death." Don't f*****g make jokes about k1lling me. That sets me the f**k off. You better not. Whoa... |

| He's the bad guy, I guess. He's still more sympathetic to me than, say, Yosemite Sam, but I don't dislike either character. He's kind of a lovable buffoon. |

| I'm not sure what I've done to earn your hatred here. Cheering the decline of the American Empire always struck me as a perfectly logical, moral thing to do. You just answered your own question right there. I'm very tired of all the self-loathing Americans online demoralizing their own countrymen b... |

| I didnt generalize all Americans (of which I am one) as bad people. I said Americans often are fine with these things when America does them but clutch their pearls when another country does it. You don't have to be a bad person to not realize that in America and most other countries we are raised t... |

| Empires never went away. The British pulled out of their colonies, so political empire was substituted for economic empire. Ruling a foreign land against their will is imperialism which most will consider Bad. But ruling a foreign land indirectly through corporations and NGO's and diplomacy to put p... |

| One theme keeps rolling through the pro-capitalist replies in this and other threads: "If a Capitalist government fails, then it isn't real Capitalist". This includes Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the USA. They break down and devolve into an anti-democratic f... |

Maybe a made-for-TV movie? Did you recognize any actors? Do you remember any word-for-word quotes from the movie that y... |
