Thread: About congress's last debacle

So being hostile towards an American, just because they are American (and not because they are an American lawmaker who backs a law that you disagree with) is, like I said, both irrational and ignorant.

Yet again this is what I meant. When you say 'this is what is wrong with America', you don't mean every American. When I say 'this makes me laugh at Americans', I don't mean every American. When people laugh at how fat Americans are, they aren't laughing at Natalie Portman.

For being a mathematician, your inability (or refusal) to grasp this simple logic kind of confuses me.

Hopefully you get it now.

Well 1 trillion on the wars would be better compared to a budget of 100 billion (inb4 Omnis calls me a baby slaughterer).

Though your entire DoD budget is around 700 billion. Jesus Christ you guys... what the fuck are you playing at??
