My country (US) doesn't have money for single payer healthcare or reasonably priced higher education, but it looks like we may scrape together a few trillion dollars for another war that doesn't benefit average americans in any way.

We failed to learn from the Soviet circus in Afghanistan back in the 80's so we will repeat all their mistakes. Since we're 'Murrica, I'm sure we'll try to fail in the region even better than they did though.

This poll seems to be invalid as there is no "fuck all polls" option.

Oh yeah, and I voted "other" in the poll.
Not necessarily for it but not completely against it either.

Oh they are far worse than Nazis. Nazis believed certain groups of ppl should die, specifically jews. Isis not only believes *everyone* in the world who is not their particular version of Islam should die, but that it is their mission in life to make it happen. Have you watched a pbs documentary on Isis? Don't do it unless you want nightmares. Some of the most horrific stuff imaginable. They are truly monsters.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
