metralo posted...but this is demonstrably untrue (obama was one of the most christian presidents we have ever had) while trump and his base frequently talk about how we need to ban muslims (trump has already tried this) and mexicans ("illegal mexicans", but its pretty obvious that's not all they mean) There a gap in how many on the left support stupid shit like in your example, and the right, which has Fox News as a major news source. Straight up lies on the daily for a huge audience. --- [ S p e e d b o o s t ] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ... Copied to Clipboard!

Armed militias made up of citizens trying to over throw the federal government in this nation would be put down almost immediately. It's one thing to be fighting radicals in Afghanistan in regards to supplies and the availability of troops, or the issues with communication and surveillance. It's quite another it it happened on US soil. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLH8skGXKw4 WHOOP WHOOP ... Copied to Clipboard!

Okay, believe what you want. Just because you would be too scared to fight a tyrannical government, that doesn't mean there wouldn't be a resistance. Again, there's a major difference between a foreign military engagement and one happening on US soil. I never said there wouldn't be a resistance, but I think it's crazy to equate the two scenarios. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLH8skGXKw4 WHOOP WHOOP ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pepys Monster posted...The Great Muta 22 posted...Pepys Monster posted...Dash_Harber posted...They also believe conspiracies about government super weapons and think they can single-handedly fight off a tyrannical government with guns from their local K-mart. I missed the post because I have him on ignore, but the whole thing is the most ridiculous scenario for so many reasons; 1. The US government would never declare war on civilians. It makes no fucking sense and no one would ever do it. Nor would a single person or small group be able to declare a revolution on there own at a moments notice. What we would get is martial law. 2. There is this weird idea that all military veterans would just go AWOL and join up with civilians to fight the government. This is equally stupid because A) They are literally trained on how to implement martial law, B) They would likely be told it was to keep order and prevent chaos, C) If the entire military stopped obeying orders, there would cease to be any actual conflict since the government is actually a rather small amount of the population versus the entire civilian and military population, and D) We have countless examples of martial law being implemented and I'm struggling to think of a single case where the military suddenly joined the revolutionaries to overthrow the government. 3. This whole, "what about the guerillas in X" argument is insane because they are two radically different situations. Both Vietnam and Afghanistan were rather far away, in hostile foreign territory, where there was limited recon. In the former's case, they were armed and trained by foreign powers, and in the latter, they were trained and supplied by the US. In all those cases, the government didn't control the power grid, or the supply routes. In the case of the US, the government already has plans in place for situations like this, whereas the imaginary revolutionaries have, what, the imaginary plans they made on their weekend hunting trips with the boys? 4. The idea that there would be a clear divide is hilariously naive. To think that, overnight, with zero prior communication, that Christian Republicans from Texas and Atheist Democrats from New York are going to have lines of communication already open to call each other in this fantasy scenario to organize a national resistance overnight, is absolutely insane. Just look at China pre-WWII. This also assumes that the government is a single entity that can make decisions like that with zero resistance. 5. Even if we ignore all of that and pretend it 'could' happen, you still have to see the hypocrisy in these conspiracy nuts, who overwhelming support military spending and believe in DARPA super weapon conspiracy theories, think that despite these 'super weapons' they can still win so long as they have an AR15. ...

did Vertania and Lorenzo_2003 flee after being hit with facts ITT? @RickyTheBAWSE What? You know some of us have shit to do and don't live in the States, right? I don't even have the same timezone as most of you. Red Dead 2, Soul Calibur 6 and prep for a Tekken tourney are also taking up my time. I will add that I don't like to bother replying if it's obvious people are being disingenuous. Antifar and Samurontai made arguments that are not based on church doctrine. That does not mean individuals don't have their own differing views. But seriously, go into a typical Christian church and ask them if they will pay for an abortion. Or call up the Vatican or a Baptist church and ask if they'll marry two people of the same sex. Everybody already knows what the answer is. There's no need to be dishonest about it. And their opposition to gay people is one of the reasons why I left that religion anyway. --- ... ... Copied to Clipboard!
