Fuck everything about these types of people. As a soldier, I say fuck you. by munch112000in misc

The Gulf of Tonkin - an admitted lie to intentionally start a war. WMDs in Iraq - also complete misinformation. And now 70% of Americans believe that Iran has nuclear weapons. This is by accident?

And yet, you people don't seem to understand or care that you're being lied to, that you're being used as puppets in a twisted game run by corporate interests. Ultimately, it's your choice to enlist, your choice to pick up a gun, and your choice to pull the trigger.

You talk about these people like they have no choice, they have a choice. We all have a choice to not kill, to have a defensive military that protects our borders and helps our people.

Some solders make the wrong choice. People dogpiled on the other commenter who called them idiots, but what would you call someone who learned about Vietnam and how a lie started it, who saw Walter Reed on CNN and how terribly we treat our veterans, and they still signed up to kill and die for the flag? What would you call them?

And when "shit goes down" it will be because the war pigs in the defense department, your bosses, won't fucking stop killing brown people for five seconds to realize that you can't create safety from war. You'd have to ultimately commit genocide.

They would need to understand that every father beaten in front of his children for information on insurgents, every Mosque defiled in a cordon and search op, every wedding bombed by mistake, creates dozens of humans who seethe hatred for the United States and would love to strap on a bomb and create more work for you, Medic. The only way to stop this is to end the war.

defend this country...

Nobody in a hot war right now is defending the US in any way. In fact, they're just running all over the world spending our political capital and pissing people off, making us less safe. Nobody is defending the US, let's get that out of the way right now.

Doesn't it cheapen their patriotism and marginalize their sacrifice to know that the entire Iraq conflict was based on a lie, and in Afghanistan, we invaded the wrong country?

I can only imagine how Vietnam veterans must have felt when they were told the Gulf of Tonkin Incident never happened, and the NSA pulled us into the war for some reason.

I was going to say... Dead soldiers have been whored by politicians and religious figures for thousands of years. Facebook doesn't make you different.

A crisis of faith by Seirokuin atheism

[–]Tarkaan 2 points3 points ago

There is no credible evidence that anything in the Bible ever happened the way it's written in the Bible. There is far more evidence to support William Shakespeare (for example, writings by him) than there is Jesus Christ (who wrote nothing, and none of the stories of the disciples were recorded until long after they were dead). He's talking about the Francis Bacon theory, and anyone seriously using that outside the context of academics discussing literature is mentally challenged by default.

If you want to read a Christian text, read the Bible.

Stop being fucking pedantic. When people here say "faith" they mean "faith in the supernatural".

Ex-Secret Service Agent talks about why you shouldn't give in to peer pressure and do stupid dares by wrestleboy557in videos

I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority of injuries caused by guns are caused by those who possess them illegally. They don't give a shit about your training.

I do not understand how the show has "no budget". by bjy20716in howardstern

[–]Tarkaan 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, Sirius has been outdated for years without howard I would never subscribe. Why would anyone?

It's a fast way for me to get news an entertainment content in English (I live in Brazil). Though I think after Howard leaves Sirius, I will unsubscribe. The shows I like are available on podcasts.

I am an Australian. I think that allowing anyone to own guns is stupid. Reddit, why do so many Americans think otherwise? by spongemandanin AskReddit

[–]Tarkaan 0 points1 point ago

It's a right guaranteed to us by our constitution, and I haven't heard a compelling argument to take them away that didn't involve simply telling everyone in the country to be good little boys and girls and turn in their weapons to the police.

The people who obey the laws, people like me, would turn in their guns. The people who don't obey the laws, the people I have my gun to protect myself and my family against, will not.

So why would I disarm myself and make myself less safe?

Add Chile and Brasil to that list. Chile because nobody cares, Brasil because after 6 months, everyone here is illegal anyway.

Whats wrong with my girlfriend (Medical) by throwaway12222211in AskReddit

[–]Tarkaan 0 points1 point ago

The doctors are looking only for things doctors look for. If it's not one of those things, it's diet.

Weird food allergies can fuck with you in odd ways. Take a multivitamin with iron every day during this:

Day 1-7: Write down everything she eats for a week.
Day 8: Water fast. Nothing but water all day.
Day 9: Water and white rice for meals. Only white rice.
Day 10: White rice and plain beans. You can start adding salt and pepper here.
Day 11: White rice and plain beans with cucumber or lettuce. No dressing.
Day 12-14: As above, add an apple every day.

Your girlfriend's diet has now "rebooted". For the next two weeks, google "Elimination Diet Recipes" and eat what comes up. She should not be eating gluten, corn, chocolate, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, narcotic drugs not given under the supervision of a physician, processed foods, dairy, and basically anything with flavor. Read up on Elimination Diets.

Do this for a month. If she doesn't feel better, then it's not her diet.

If she feels better, take that list that you made and start adding in things from that list until you find the culprit.

Any creative atheists in here? by okidokiokamiin atheism

Do something for science? Involving Reddit? Take the virginity of one of the nerds on this subreddit, live on camera. I'm sure they'd love it.

Why do the streets in many suburbs loop around instead of being laid out in a grid? by hotcarsin answers

[–]Tarkaan 4 points5 points ago

Lower speed has been said, lower traffic noise is another, the third big reason is sight lines. Looking out the window and seeing the neighbor's house is 1970s. People want to look out the window and see trees and grass and things like that. At most, you will see the side of someone's house, rarely can two people look out their windows at each other. It's a lot easier without straight lines.

"You might find an atheist in a foxhole but you'll never find a politician or a millionaire." by HigHIdrAin politics

[–]Tarkaan 1 point2 points ago

I love the story about how John Fogerty wrote Fortunate Son.

The song was inspired by David Eisenhower, the grandson of President Dwight David Eisenhower who married Julie Nixon, the daughter of President Richard Nixon, in 1968.[5] John Fogerty told Rolling Stone: "Julie Nixon was hanging around with David Eisenhower, and you just had the feeling that none of these people were going to be involved with the war. In 1968, the majority of the country thought morale was great among the troops, and like eighty percent of them were in favor of the war. But to some of us who were watching closely, we just knew we were headed for trouble."

Now it's a patriotic song.

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag, ooh, the red, white and blue.
And when the band plays Hail to the Chief, oh, they're pointing the cannon at you.
But it ain't me. It ain't me. I ain't no senator's son.

Lots of times you hear that, they sing it wrong. I can't believe they played it at the end of Battleship.
