Regardless of whether or not it was provoked, the way the police handled it was grossly negligent (shooting right at the protesters when you're fighting a sniper? WTH?).

Affordable Care Act - Discussion
ThePest179 replied to BTGBullseye's topic in Serious Topic Discussion
Statements like "socialized medicine" already make this a questionable source. It also fails to recognize that leftist are not all for "ebil restrictions" like the Republicans like to claim, not to mention all the claims they make about "leftists" that they don't even try to back up. This is just an attempt to bash something which was basically crippled in Congress, and implies that sick people shouldn't get healthcare because "it causts too much!". I won't lie, there are problems with Obamacare, but fuck me if it hasn't been hyped to be Satan incarnate among Tea Party and Republican circles. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/insurance-companies-misleading-letters-obamacare http://kaiserhealthnews.org/news/safety-net-hospitals-seeing-more-patients-and-money/ -
That things could have been far worse on Euromaiden. Could have got the Army involved, and then the whole thing would be a Libya. Thank God that didn't happen.

So what does this prove exactly?

Yeah yeah yeah, keep attacking anti war movements. It's so mature. Don't bother responding to that, because I won't acknowledge you.

The problem is getting anyone to fight. Anyways: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-31191814 Yeah, more sectarian war.

I don't mind. After all, someone will read this.

Ross, I do have a GD request: Five Nights at Freddy's and the sequels. Personally, I rwally don't care if the review is scalding and you think the games aren't good. I would just love to see your thoughts and reactions. Other games: Cave Story Iji OFF And that's all for now. EDIT: Maybe Chzo Mythos as well?
-
Just watchted it. Thoughts: HL2: Ross, take your time. Do whatever you need to first, then you get to this. I can wait a few years to get Freeman's Mind 2. CP: Same. The Movie: While I have no idea what I'll be watching, I'm gonna stick around to find out. So, good luck on the movie, I'm still going to watch the content you'll put out. Have a good year.

No it isn't, Yes it is. There is a logical limit to how far it could go. Declaration of martial law and suspension of the Constitution are pretty obvius, I'd imagine. No they would not, and only a few others would accept that too. When hundreds of thousands of people -US citizens - are getting arrested en masse for crimes that they didn't commit, when martial law is suddenly declared across the whole country (in response to a "terrorist attack" which really isn't feasible), and when it continues to be implemented for far longer than would be logically necesary, the shit would hit the fan for the would-be Pinochets. What do you mean by "counterstrike"? Massive revolution? If things were that bad in the US that people were rioting en masse, then calling it a terrorist attack, or even being able to get the US Army/National Guard to follow orders would be pretty damn hard to do in such a situation. So out of curiousity, have you read "Icarus Rising", by chance? It's free to read online, you can probably find it in a google search (and I know that you can type). I ask because you're laying out the plot of the story. Of course, the whole martial law declaration went really badly in the story. Can you also give a reson as to why this would happen?
-
Hugs and kisses to you too.

Irrelevant. They wouldn't. There is literally no way that they could do that without causing a second civil war in no time at all. Do you really think that every US soldier/National Guardsman would follow the order to turn the US into a Chile style dictatorship?

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/30/middleeast/isis-attack/index.html ISIS is making an assualt on Kurkuk, I think things are going to go like Kobani went.

I couldn't resist. Unreliable. It was not the same plan, it was a plan to confiscate firearms in the event that civil order has collapsed and the military needs to restore order ASAP. If you actually listened to your own source you'd realize that.
