Geez Beanz, I didn't mean to elicit a novel from you....fucks sakes
And no I'm not taking this personally I'm genuinely interested in what you think and WHY you think what you think as you'll come to see that I have evolved on certain things especially Assange and WikiLeaks and not only due to the fact they are hammering the fuck out of Hillary Clinton whom I loathe and have loathed for many a year.
1. That's understandable and I respect your take on it 'it's imperfect, but better than nothing'....I would just ask as a follow up
Is there ANY way at all to be Brexit and NOT be considered a racist xenophobe? Is there a group who just appreciates England/British culture, values, political process, law and order? Must they all be lumped together as backwards thinking cavemen? I'm proud of the United States, I know my country doesn't have a spotless record but no country does and if other nations were judged as the United States is judged then we could have an honest discussion on things, but it never is. Things are always judged on a sliding scale with more advanced nations being put under the highest power microscope available.
2. The refugee crisis was one created by politicians with Globalist ideals. Here's the Syrian conflict in a nutshell.....Do you like Al Qaeda? (most everyone Western says "NO!") Do you have any problem in bombing Al Qaeda? (again most people will say "NO!") Do you have any problem with the Russians bombing Al Qaeda? (again, most rational people will say "NO!") and there you have it, that is the Syrian conflict all summed up. As for the actual refugees...I understand that in war people get displaced and people flee to stay safe. My view being SOME should flee (women and children) and SOME should stay and fight for their country (men aged 18-40) if war breaks out in MY backyard, I ain't leaving. My question is why flee over 2,000 miles to England or over 10,000 miles to the United States when you could flee 240 miles to Lebanon or just over 500 miles to Jordan or a little over 1,000 miles to Saudi Arabia? Don't Lebanon, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have more similar cultures to Syria? Don't those countries have ties to Syrian people? Doesn't the Quran (which those Theocracies govern themselves by) ask if not DEMAND that Muslims care for one another?!?! It makes absolutely no fucking sense (unless you are a Globalist) to move those refugees to Western nations and I believe you will see there's a teeny tiny bit of growing pains shall we say in these populations moving into Western nations....it would be like taking your average American and dropping them into North Korea and saying "Well, here you are...stay out of trouble"....you don't know the laws, you don't understand the laws, you have little to nothing in common with the people other than you're just trying to survive...it just makes no sense.
3. I was basically asking though if you'd rather England have a say over English politics or would you rather outsource that to Belgium and the EU? You guys have a slightly different political system than the US. You guys don't have a 2 party system how we have it in the US. You have very specialized parties and they have traction politically...if you don't like the Tories then don't vote for them if you don't like Labour don't vote for them if you don't like UKIP don't vote for them and if others override your vote then oh well.
4. Understood
5. I didn't like Assange and WikiLeaks for a time, UNTIL I started to understand what was going on. New things were brought to light, the collusion between politicians and the news media, the problems which arose specifically from Globalism, and WikiLeaks not picking a side but just producing information for public consumption without spin to it. Americans have been getting news SPUN to them every single day for ages and to see how deep that goes.....it's embarrassing really. Hillary Clinton didn't just get questions fed to her, but she got ANSWERS scripted for her and yet we the average American citizens are supposed to accept that everything is on the up and up? Yes Trump IS laughable, but he isn't devious....people know what they are getting with Trump (we assume at this point). Trump doesn't attempt to hide his feelings it seems and all the better that the republican Party Elite HATE him. If Trump is a bad President then hey that's what checks and balances are for, but if Hillary is in office it's we're staying on the current path which is Globalism. I was ok with Globalism when I thought it was "We're going to make other places more like America" but it's not that at all it's "We're going to make America more like other places" and I'm sorry but we've fought wars over exactly THAT...that kind of thing makes Americans POORER I don't want that I don't want it for anyone in my country not even the Democrats.
Thanks for the response though, I appreciate it and I hope your fast was easy (if you fasted....can't blame you if you didn't). I only really know about Hanukkah and Passover because well Passover is super easy to understand (one of the bigger stories of the Old Testament) plus I've been to more than a few Seders (the Tribe loves me and I love them right back) and Hanukkah is just more well known in general...I know Rosh Hashanah is Jewish New Year and that Yom Kippur is the "most solemn holiday" but I don't know exactly what it's about so yeah....but I do enjoy dipping my toe into the waters of other cultures and religions as it helps me understand things better.
