I'll vote for "Death from Above" any day.Why do you assume that he wouldn't fully protect the US? He only refers to other countries in the video. Maybe the friendly wimpy puppies turn into fierce, snarling wolves with sharp fangs ready to rip out the jugulars of anyone who tries to harm one of their own.
Quote:Just because he advocates not being a bully, does not somehow equal not defending one's own part of whatever hemisphere. As far as neighbouring countries go, in that same hemisphere, if there was ever a need, probably the whole hemisphere would team up to protect itself from a hemispherical sized onslaught.Quote:Who said anything in that video about not protecting US land? I didn't get the idea there that he wants some sort of total disbanding of all military.Yes who did say anything about total disbanding of all military forces? Who said anything about not protecting our land. I know I didn't mention either of these things. I said the dipshit was advocating pussifying the U.S. and that would make America vunerable and uneffective at keeping the real bullies off the countries in that hemispheres' backs.
Quote:If I don't see strength I see weakness. You have to be strong to defend yourself and others against bullies.He is not saying not to defend oneself. At all. As for defending others, do you really expect the US to save the whole world? Maybe he would help other countries in some types of circumstances. Or not. Can't know without asking him.
Most of the time, in my opinion, countries should take care of their own people's problems, before messing with other people's in ways that cost huge sums of money as well as kill lots of people.
Quote:Kuwait wasn't a 'shitty theocracy'. Neither was Iraq. And of right now, neither is Afghanistan.They still look and smell like theocracies to me, even if they do have additional, more official, labels.
Quote:I hope you're not mentioning the women's thing just because I am one, and because you know I sympathize strongly with women stuck under muslim rule. There are many many unjust things in the world outside of the US, and while that is a big one, it is by no means the only one.Quote:Seriously though, it sounds like he just wants to stop the unnecessary overseas stuff that causes a lot of killing and suffering of people, and the spending of tons of money that could be made better use of.You think all that "unnecessary overseas stuff" does not prevent a lot more killing and suffering of people than it causes? Shall we pull out of Afghan and leave all those woman in the hands of the Taliban? With the military DustyBunny wants the U.S. to have we would have no choice. We would probably at the LEAST choose between Iraq and Afghan. Which do you think we would choose?
(Hint: The oil is in Iraq.)
He is certainly not someone who doesn't give a shit though. This video is about the muslim treatment of women (and the way they freak over blaspheming mohammed):

Speaking of women, this is a good segue to pop in a video I made with a neat kaleidoscope special effect. I used Dusty's song, Funky Tongue, as the background sound. From what I can make out of the lyrics (I'm really bad at lyrics - sounds blend together to my ears), this should secure him most of the female vote throughout the states.

I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
