Yeah, I think you need to do another lap on your rollerblades and come back to this.

What a horrible ban reason. You would think with a former mod they would soften it up a bit. Maybe, 'Inflammatory rhetoric'. But no, now he is branded by his former employer as a war crimes justifier. Lovely.

During a conversation with officers after the shooting, WSBT reported the 11-year-old also warned that if he didn’t get a PlayStation, an Xbox and a computer there would be a “part two.”

Children’s Union representative Kaden Justin Clark said that his member and sixth grade seat mate “feared for his extra lives” and that “evidence would emerge proving that the muscular adult had flexed his upper back aggressively.”
No Switch?
So the public terror of nuclear war in the 80s with Reagan and Thatcher and the slow motion failure of the USSR drove glasnost and peristroijka and we’re very effing lucky that an intelligent pragmatic and moral bureaucrat was the leader of the Soviet Union. Otherwise more hawkish soviets might have doubled down to protect the Union. Gorbachev is one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century and it’s absolutely absurd that the gop was allowed to create a largely fictional hagiography of a strategically incompetent Reagan who stumbled into the situation and wasn’t bailed out by his cabinet and the Russians.We need a Threads and Day After moment for global climate catastrophe- but we are oversupplied with Reagans and perilously short of Gorbachevs.Ironically the fall of the Berlin Wall was the event that propelled a creepy and unremarkable little apparatchik into power when he pivoted from avowed communist nobody into cynical embracer of the rush to kleptocracy. He saw the writing on the wall and immediately started the process of stripping the country’s resources with other more senior politburo and military leaders and mafia types- and fashioning a new myth about himself.He was first in line to pillage Russia’s brief but solid chance at democracy and prosperity. Tons of natural resources and expertise and infrastructure- which is still there- but socialism and military infrastructure has been skimmed by a few dozen billionaires instead of being the crown jewel of Eastern “Europe “- and now he has the affrontery to sell himself as the last bastion of Soviet supremacy with a nostalgic tsarist glitter. And we have elected the only worse, more reckless person in the northern hemisphere.The child is a Russian gas and oil extraction gangster in 1991.
Here’s the order of things you should hide in if a nuke is coming.1. A bus.2. A tent.3. A paint.
It might matter to box office receipts, no idea.It might matter to some business elements that we're not privy to - including estimates and momentum predictions etc. I wouldn't personally use it except anecdotally for the same reason I triple check wiki information when it's a serious item or fact. It's voluntary and "democratic" and no matter how boring or uncontroversial you think the crispiness of Cheez Its or Dagobah's correct biome designation is, somebody somewhere has an agenda about it and a Wikipedia account. Politics is infuriating for that reason because everyone has an agenda and a bias. But no matter what, it would be very sad if brigading or organized protests by people who haven't seen the movie, or have no intention of "liking" it regardless of whether it sucks or not, is pathetic. It was pathetic during Ghostbusters - and that movie sucked IMO - in fact a more trustworthy system might have saved me $10 -- and I think you'd have to be deliberately ignoring the volume of weird resistance to "it" even in nicer more chill places like this. I have no idea if intellectually dishonest coordination has led to the numerical disparity, or if Cpt. Marvel is just opening bigger - or even if people just feel more inclined to review this one. But I do know the number of saddos atacking it, sight unseen, is non-zero.Not sure how you combat this kind of thing (organized trolling I mean, for anything) without an Amazon style verified purchase scheme (maybe a deal with theater chains on your ticket stub?) but the Amazon system works because there's a straight line from review to user and proof. Rotten Tomatoes relies on individual honesty. And even for me, it would be a pain in the butt to scan a barcode just to drop a hot take on something I had actually seen.The better approach might be to start raising kids to not follow dumb peer pressures in the attempt to change things to suit your worldview. But that's a generational problem and different in every place.
OH SHIT I JUST GOT THE PUN"no man's land"DOOOHH

This scene gave me goose bumps in the theater, and I actually got teary. I'm a woman and it was so fucking amazing to see a female super hero
Best part of the movie by far.
No Man's Land is my single favorite scene in any superhero movie. It moved something in me I can't explain.
That scene moved me.
Loved this scene. It really made the movie for me.
I thought the village scene was much better.
Best CBM scene in the whole decade. Just amazing.
Just a heads up, Wonder Woman is on HBO if you'd like to rewatch (at least in the US, don't know how it works abroad with HBO).
Kid has access to a loaded firearm and has an "if I don't get my way fuck everything" attitude. I'll bet a $100 his parents are republicans.
HEY I'M OFFERING YOU A SCENE SET IN NO MANS LAND OF THE TRENCH WARFARE OF WORLD WAR I THAT IS APPARENTLY MOVING RESETERA.COM USERSIT'S A TWO-FER
I refuse to accept any reality where a cape wearing woman can sustain fire from the German artillery.
Bobby darkening his picture (aka 'digital blackface') and now Enzom. How many fake minorities are on ERA?
also Wonder Woman has a history of thwarting the German military:(Image removed from quote.)
Why does she have a fish in her right hand?To make the smell believable too?
Why is this guy not banned yet? Continuing to justify war crimes and the mass slaughter of millions of people and decimation of 20% of a nation's population and the total destruction of their infrastructure - all this is okay because it was the fifties guys. There is someone in this thread who has been personally affected by the violence you so nonchalantly shrug off. Because it was the fifties and therefore mass slaughter is alright? Everything bad done before the Geneva conventions were imposed is right? Is that seriously your argument? Think carefully before you answer.The fact that you are unable to empathize with the millions of INNOCENT dead civilians and their families shows what your thinking is like. And it shows how very little you think of these Korean lives. Your racism and white supremacy is seeping through these posts. You may not be overtly racist but it's very clear in how little you think of the deaths of non-Americans who are not white. You don't care one iota about the Palestinians. You are more concerned about whether some American down the street may misconstrue Omar's words and be offended than the Palestinians being bombed and tortured and oppressed in the West Bank. But hey, North Korea invaded South Korea and that justifies the mass slaughter of a million innocent souls.
User Banned (Duration Pending): Dismissing concerns surrounding sexual assault and antagonizing other membersQuoteDo not fucking talk to me about how war is the best option when you've never suffered through one as a civilian, the United States has no fucking right being anywhere, the idea that you have to do something to fight "evil" (evil being a very subjective term depending on which country does not align with our interests) in the first place is poison that continues to feed the endless grinder that kills countless innocents for literally zero reason.You've clearly never had a relative raped and brutalised by soldiers, otherwise you'd never say something as fucking stupid as war being the best option.What a childish response and very wrong, I'm glad anti-interventionists are a minority honestly.

Thank you, every time I see this person post I want to go play Smash Bros and beat the crap out of Kirby.
Ok, this thread is just going in circles at this point so there's not much reason to keep it open.
Barack Obama is not a war criminal. We are at war in Afghanistan and he used drone strikes in an effort to kill the enemy. That does not make him a war criminal.
Except I'm responding to someone who has always been pretty adamant in their dislike for Democrats and Obama in general.I'm not just going to ignore all of the threads discussing Obama and the people labeling him a war criminal in the context of the conversations on ERA. There are tons of people here who think Obama is a "bad person" and have probably diluted themselves into thinking their opinion has gained in popularity over time because a dozen other people on their forum share similar views.Saying "They would vote Obama over Trump" is a nothing statement, any sane person would do that.Everyone wants to talk about the drone program, but nobody actually wants to discuss the drone program and where it was executed, how it was executed, what it actually did during it's peak in Pakistan and the overall outcome of the program.

Wave away? On the topic of terrorism, international relations, civilian deaths, the entire region at large, saying "America kills babies" is pretty much the level of introspection that a fifth grader has when asked about "why is war bad"Do you think I'm going to support shit like agent orange? Do you think I'm talking about supporting every single action the US government has taken?Innocent people die. It's fucked up and horrible. I'm not denying that the US as a super power projects its force around the globe with little consequences to itself. Its power should be far more respected internally and given more consideration to the damage and lives it effects when it executes its foreign policy in nations like Pakistan or Libya. The actions of previous administrations of thinking intervention is sound as an option for political control (or outright illegal occupations of countries) is obviously abhorrent.But even something like Yemen has actual depth to it. Under Obama, the US agreed to aid in long range fueling logistics to Saudi Arabia. This support is the only reason they are able to constantly bomb Yemen and kill countless lives, the US is directly responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians by aiding Saudi Arabia. In the same breath, the context of allowing that support was because Saudi Arabia was furious when Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Agreement, an agreement that practically hamstrung Israel for the foreseeable future from ever dragging the US into a confrontation because of it's own right wing war-mongering leader. Yemen, at least from my understanding, was basically an appeasement, a way to keep things cool and the relationship on decent standing so that if shit hits the fan in the future, the US has sway in keeping Saudi Arabia from doing something stupid (like developing it's own nuclear weapons).Now, was Yemen worth appeasing Saudi Arabia for the Iran deal? It's pretty fucked that when you're talking about preventing what seemingly was an inevitable confrontation with Iran you have to frame it in such a way, but in context of the overall region at large, that's an actual topic of debate. A topic in which you are literally admitting the the random lives of people in a random country are worth a hypothetical geo-political event that would have sent the entire region into hell. I'm not denying how seemingly dismissive this sounds, but that's the fucked up nature of geopolitics when you're dealing with trying to keep the peace between two major regional powers who would have no issue starting a war in the near future, potentially with nuclear consequences under likely circumstances. Just look at Pakistan and India. Two times in the last two decades the US has had to play middle man in cooling shit so bombs don't get dropped on cities and nuclear weapons don't start flying off like bottle rockets.When I talk about the drone war in relation to Pakistan, there is actual evidence to back up it's effectiveness in terms of greatly diminishing terrorist operational capacity which directly reduced the number of civilian deaths in the Pakistan Tribal region, and Pakistan as a whole. Now I fully understand people want to argue that the costs of it's effectiveness outweigh the potential gains it brought, but the depth of conversation in thinking you have some type of trump card by running up and going "Baby killers!" is fucking laughable.
Quote from: The Win Big BossYes, the argument is now "America kills babies!"America does fucking kill babies you cretin, I've heard it for myself from my own family who've lost their children to birth defects from Agent Orange and yet you treat it as a fucking joke.

The Iran nuclear deal framework was a preliminary framework agreement reached in 2015 between the Islamic Republic of Iran and a group of world powers
In April 2010, al-Awlaki was placed on a CIA kill list by President Barack Obama due to his alleged terrorist activities.[36][37][38] Al-Awlaki's father and civil rights groups challenged the order in court.[36][38][39][40] Al-Awlaki was believed to be in hiding in southeast Yemen in the last years of his life.[30] The U.S. deployed unmanned aircraft (drones) in Yemen to search for and kill him,[41] firing at and failing to kill him at least once;[42] he was successfully assassinated on September 30, 2011.[14] Two weeks later, al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen who was born in Denver, Colorado, was also killed by a CIA-led drone strike in Yemen.
Can't sleep tonight. Just thinking about all the shit in my life (don't come in here saying other people have it worse. I know that already). My parents have always helped my brothers out more than me. One they even lent 50k for a house loan right out of college so he could build equity. When I asked for help to do the same they said no. I got better grades than him in school and tried harder. Got scholarships and worked while going to school while he took out a student loan that my parents helped pay back. When my dad died. He got my father's car (I got his watch). He makes a lot more money then me now and owns two homes because they helped him. I'm still unemployed and hate my fucking situation to no end.After my father died. My mother gave a car I really liked and had asked to have when I came back from China (cheap Ford fiesta) to my druggy sister that totaled it. Maybe I'm sounding selfish but I feel like I got the rawest fucking deal in my family. Oh and my mom bought like three trailers for her new boyfriend and like 10 cars that he's supposed to fix up and sell. Meanwhile the help I get is to move back in with them while I look for a job. Which I'm grateful for, mind you, but the house is infested with roaches and not finished. Like water pipes busted and other shit.Like I said. I know I've got it better then many out there but I feel like I should be able to get the same help they have my older brother. I know being resentful isn't good for me but why do I get all the trash in the family when I did the most work?Anyways. Make fun of me as much as you want. That seems all I'm good for.
With the recent revelation that Enzom is a honkey, what do you think his cracker ass should be called?Chip?Warren?Tanner?Something else?I’m a fan of Walter myself
