This morning news: President Obama "strongly condemned" the bombings in a phone call to Erdogan.

What, is there a "mildly condemned" option? Or how about "moderately condemned"? How strong was his condemnation? 

 

What type of condemnation would you like him to have displayed FS?

What avenue do those countries have to exit? A direct vote by the people like in the UK? And what sparks that direct vote? The people may want to leave. I'm not convinced most politicians do. Not sure how it works there but if the government can convince the people to hold out just looking enough to see the UK stumble they may change their tune. I guess we'll find out.

What's best for the UK is trade agreements with the EU. What's best for the EU is for the world to see the UK suffer. If the world doesn't see that then there very well may not be a EU for much longer. The EU needs to do everything it can to make Britain feel this. Their very existence depends on it. Not saying they should exist but if they want to then they know what they need to do.

If the EU works to make the UK struggle then leaving the EU wouldn't look so desirable to other nations. If I'm the EU I make sure Britain feels this exit. It's the only chance I have at staying together.

Al Qaeda urges lone wolf terrorists to target white Americans and avoid gay people to avoid attacks being labelled as ‘hate crimes’ 

 

Ha! We've forced the enemy to change tactics! The surge is working!

I can't really get on board with him when he says that not working out a trade deal would be worse for continental Europe than for the UK. You live on an island. You need a trade deal to survive.

I'll never get used to the way Pujols pimps solo HRs that clear the fence by 4 feet in the 5 inning of games we are losing.

You're right. Lets just have zero taxes of any kind!

Totally possible if it wasnt for those stupid liberal idealists! 

Or we could strive for having taxes that don't punish me for drinking but reward me for buying a house. I don't need someone else telling me how to live. Take my money the same as my neighbor or my cousin and let me do me.

This sounds like usage fee. you'd think the libertarian(closeted republicans) than thou conservatives on this board would like this proposal. Lets tax cigarettes $30 a pack! Wooohoo !@#$ the poor!

Why would a libertarian like the government using force to influence their actions?

He's that guy no one likes unless he's on your team (for the most part). If he's on your team then you love him.

I don't think that's quite true. He's definitely a little polarizing but I think the dislike is far more prevalent amongst Angels fans because of how the media constantly shoved Harper up in the limelight with Trout. A lot of baseball fans are really entertained by Harper and the things he can do on the field. Much in the same way people are entertained with Trout. We just see more hatred in front of us and assume that's the status quo.

I know man. I don't like welfare either. 

Not really what I'm talking about but for the record I'm no big fan of welfare.

What I'm talking about though is tax breaks for paying mortgages or taxing people for cigarette purchases. Things like that. I don't think the government should be in the business of telling me how to live. I know other people disagree but that's my stance.

I'm not in favor of the government taxing or applying tax revenue to influence the way people live.

Should I find an article about a teeanger drinking and use it as the reason there should be no drinking age limit? 

Trump's speeches are the tits. There is no script. It's just him saying completely random non sequiturs in front of thousands of people.

This thread delivers.

Crap how many times did someone talk about how Cruz looks like a child molester? .

I get more of a complete overall rape-y vibe from him. I don't think you can limit it to just children. He seems pretty equal opportunity on the forced sex front.

It's crazy that those people are too stupid to be able to watch these videos and see why people support Trump to begin with.

I originally went with "trees and leafy green shit" but then I remembered the brown leaves of autumn.

The sad thing is that if there were more trees and shit to breath in all the CO2 we produce we wouldn't be in this dilemma. Funny that the vegetarians don't talk about that.

Stay away from my beef Ray

As in the policies they forward.  Does it really matter what they think personally?

If the policies they put out label one group as belonging to a bigger group overall but their specific actions seem to single out the smaller group that their policies claim is part of the bigger while then yeah, I'd say it's worth investigating what they believe personally and is it is impacting the way they execute the policies they engage.

As in the politicians themselves?

Do you think FS considers them white?

125 is 15 after I spend 110 on hookers and blow

I'll take $15mm

Shhh...ignore that part Rico. It didn't fit their narrative.

You are so naive

I don't think AFL is wrong here. As computers and technology have become more affordable more companies have taken to adapting them to reduce costs. I don't see anything wrong with this. It certainly puts everyone in a situation where they have re-discover what is required to succeed or even just exist in a new and fast-progressing world but to act as if we shouldn't be working towards a fully automated economy and world because of what it is doing to job growth is silly. We have to think to find out how to work around the technology that has taken jobs and invent new jobs that technology hasn't yet caught on to. We've been doing this for millennia. There is no reason why it can't continue. And I don't doing that it will. It is in everyone's best interests. If everyone is poor than there is no one to pay the rich. I know the touch don't want that. 

We can't fear automation or the effect it has in our economy. I don't  necessarily think we should enact policies that force the march towards automation but I equally don't think we should have any that slow that march for the sake of 'economic stability.' The world has to learn to adapt.
