The same actually goes for the UK. Most of the known terrorists in the UK are actually citizens that were born and studied in the UK.

aarong · July 2019

All terrorism is disruptive to the publics well being, and I'm not trying to minimize the impact of foreign terrorism, I'm just pointing out that many people are more worried about terrorism that comes from abroad, but have no idea that domestic terrorism is more dangerous. There is no federal law against domestic terrorism, which makes it more difficult to convict domestic terrorists, which in turn, makes it more difficult to imprison suspected domestic terrorists and stop them from committing terrorist crimes in the future. The FBI is having trouble getting the proper convictions for domestic terrorists, which causes dangerous people to serve minimal sentences for crimes that foreign terrorists will spend the rest of their behind bars for.

aarong · July 2019

There is a law that the feds can use to convict domestic terrorism but it is called the Material Support Law and has been used in Domestic Terrorissim case before. Unfortunately the law is missing a lot of offenses carried out by Domestic Terrorist.

The Material Support Law needs to be expaned on or more Federal laws need to be created to cover additional offenses.

Most convictions of Domestic Terrorism rely on a mixture of Fedral laws and State laws.

I do agree that there are more act of Domestic Terrorism and they are more frequently carried out than those of foreign origin. Part of that has to do with the lack of laws specifically targeting Domestic Terrorism virtually tying the hands, in some cases, of the FBI.

Hence why I say the military isn't actually protecting us, except the Coast and National guards, but I don't think we even use them for domestic terrorism when we should be. Maybe we do, I've just not heard of such a case.

But yeah, if I were president I'd demand the cutting of the military spending by half at least and dismantle the army and marines(since they're literally only used for invasion by definition. In my view the military should only be used for defense, period). And put the air force and navy on stand-by until we actually are invaded, or know of an impending invasion in which case we get them in position to intercept the enemy. Then I would probably put more resources to the coast and national guards. The "wait-until-they-invade-us" strategy has worked every single time in our history, meanwhile pre-emptive invasions have always ended in failure. Hence I don't see a need for marines or the army, since they are exclusively used for invading and killing people we have no business killing(aka murder). In the event of being invaded and we need to send troops to the other nation to end the war, that's where I'd convert the national and coast guards into a temporary army and marines, and only during defensive wars. Then we'd get more people to join the national and coast guards, and continually switch them into the temporary army and marines when necessary.

I stand with Planned Parenthood in protecting the lives of women, and, wait for it, …… children!

Last I checked the U.S. was rated 174th out of 193 countries in "infant death after live birth" … that with THEE most expensive health care in the world! Much of that comes from women who can't afford pre and post natal care … or to feed the newborn well AFTER birth. The strange thinking people that take the only care available away from those women are responsible for much of the number of born (and unborn) children's deaths. The numbers were before the ACA, and AFTER the closings of PP's around the country by "well meaning", conscientious, but poorly thought out actions of citizens.

We could save MORE babies by bringing PP BACK, and supporting the ACA.

Private ownership of the means of production, the basis of capitalism, has been proven to be less productive than collective ownership of the means of production. Many contemporary co-ops are in fact more productive than traditional capitalist structures. As your position is only based in the efficiency and productivity of the system, that's all I have to say. If a socialist world, a world where workers own the means of production, existed, then it is proven that it would be more productive than a capitalist world

aarong · July 2019

Modern feminism isn't about anything. Even your negative characterization of it is inaccurate. There is no policy, no group, no leaders, no clear manifesto. Instead we have hundreds of groups and ideologies who all claim to be feminists yet have often opposing views and goals. Feminists will claim doing porn and sex work is liberating and empowering if it's consensual. Other feminists will argue that porn and sex work are inherently abusive and misogynistic. Feminists will support that trans women are real women. Feminists will say trans women aren't women. Feminists are pro choice. Feminists are pro life. Feminists say the hijab is oppressive. Feminists say the hijab is a way a woman can express herself and religion.

Feminism has lost all meaning as a title. All it is, is a self imposed descriptor that doesn't actually tell you a single thing about the persons views. It carries absolutely no weight anymore.

There is a lot of buzzwords nowadays that are used in all possible contexts, often mutually contradictory. Some of such words are: feminist, socialist, Nazi, vegetarian, human right activist, nationalist... Whenever one of these labels is used, you have to be extra careful as to what the implied meaning of the word is.

The important aspect of language, however, is that wrong usage of a word does not change the actual meaning of the word. Just because a lot of people call themselves feminist, does not mean that every single one of them is actually feminist. The word "feminist" has a very clear definition, and you will find that a lot of self-called feminists nowadays do not satisfy that definition.

Just because a state is called Democratic People's Republic of Korea, does not mean that it is democratic, people's or a republic. Similarly, just because some organisation calls itself "Feminists of Arizona for equality", does not mean that its members are feminists and that its agenda has anything to do with equality.

It explains it in those posts pretty much.

He told Americans to "return to their country". Their country is the USA - but he's treating them like they're second class citizens who don't deserve to live in the USA because they're women of colour and don't deserve to live there.

That's just the latest broohah of course, you can find plenty of examples in his history like when he said a judge was incapable of performing his job because he's Mexican (he was American), something he's not done for white judges.

Treating people worse because of their race and assuming people are incapable and inferior because of their race are the basic definitions of racism, both of which he displays above. This is aside from the obvious slam dunk examples of him trying to have innocent black people killed in the case of the Central Park 5.

Pretty embarrassing for decent Americans having to listen to fellow Americans continually defending a buffooon who mocks the handicapped , people of of different race and colour and most anyone else the raging egotist sees as weak and vulnerable , I could nearly guarantee if Trump brought back lynching and segregation of blacks these types of Americans would justify it as Trump can do no wrong.

New Yorker .....

In the years since then, Trump has assembled a long record of comment on issues involving African Americans as well as Mexicans, Hispanics more broadly, Native Americans, Muslims, Jews, immigrants, women, and people with disabilities. His statements have been reflected in his behavior—from public acts (placing ads calling for the execution of five young black and Latino men accused of rape, who were later shown to be innocent) to private preferences (“When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” a former employee of Trump’s Castle, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, told a writer for The New Yorker)

Yes trans women deserve the right to the restroom that matches their identity.

Yes they should be able to participate in whichever sport they wish as long as they meet certain physical requirements to do so. Like having a fitness test done before their training to participate so a medical professional can asses whether they have advanced enough in their transition to match the sex they will be competing against.

I think it should be more of a moral requirement for trans persons to share this information with their partners as soon as possible.
Although, I think you are confusing gender with biological sex in this question because trans persons are born trans, they just have not realized it for however long it took for them to do so. A trans woman is born male in body, but female in mind/self, so it is unfair to classify their gender as matching their sex at birth. That would mean they were at one point CIS gender and changed into transgender later on, which would mean that they are not trans because of development, they are trans because of social or self circumstance. Like when someone thinks of themselves as trans because of traumatic situations with a male family member (which does happen). Trans women are only labelled "Trans" in order to differentiate between them and CIS women. They are still as much women as any CIS women are, they were just born with different equipment. That being said no man should assume that a woman they are dating is CIS gender. They should ask (no it is not an insult to ask) what that person's identity is and if it matches their biological sex. They cannot just solely leave it to the trans person to say something, because if someone wants to know they should speak up about it. Requesting such information is not an attack against the trans woman or trans man, if anything it is a compliment to them because odds are they pass as their gender identity without having to say what it is. On the other-hand a trans person should not need to "Pass" as their gender identity in order to be considered or seen as said identity.

Sorry for lengthy post, it is a topic I am passionate about lol

@Maddy_Sindel "Yes trans women deserve the right to the restroom that matches their identity."

Post-operation I 100% agree, however what about pre-operation? I view gender-segregation in bathrooms as a protection for women against some sexually predatory men.

"Yes they should be able to participate in whichever sport they wish as long as they meet certain physical requirements to do so. Like having a fitness test done before their training to participate so a medical professional can asses whether they have advanced enough in their transition to match the sex they will be competing against."

Trans-women have a biological advantage over biological women. The easiest way to prove this without going into bodily structure and bone density (both of which advantage men) is that we don't allow athletes to take steroids. Steroids are essentially testosterone: the male sex hormone. If a trans-woman transitions at age 20, for example, they have effectively been on steroids for 20 years when compared with their biologically female rivals.

If it wasn't for constantly leveling false charges of racism, Congressional Democrats would have done precisely nothing for the last 2 1/2 years. This desperate ploy of clinging to the idea that nearly anything that they oppose can be construed as racist is all they have.

Maybe they ought to try solving some actual problems we face as a country instead of endlessly trying to divide us with race-baiting.

The Socialist Democrats, and the Democrats themselves, are giving the Voter public, a grand education, in how their individual political philosophies work, via their choices, playing out before the publics eyes?

With their various comments being entered onto social, and their individual constituents, or follower fanbases, liking their individual rhetoric, and then resharing it themselves?

Not to mention, some of the Liberal news media outlets as well, getting onboard, with their biased opinion oriented news coverages, using Trump, as their fodder, to feed their dwindling liberal viewship with?

The more that the new Socialists Democrats, and the Democrats themselves, say, the more that their individual political philosophies, are talking themselves into a corner, that they aren't going to be able to walk themselves back out of, because they're labelling, and branding themselves, with every comment, and every vote, that they personally endorse themselves.

They are with each passing day, are unknowingly, dismantling their own careers.

So let them make their comments, and pick their sides, and defend the illegal immigrants, or aliens, and their other individual stances, before the eyes, of the rest of the country, and let's educate ourselves, on their ways of governing, and they can after the 2020 Election, learn from the voters what taking care of the United States as a whole means?
