The state tells you murder is illegal. Except when the state does it. You can’t expect people to follow, “do what I say, not what I do.”

It’s cruel, it’s a reflection of our morals. The death penalty is not a deterrent for murder. The death penalty is hypocrisy. The death penalty is for an unserious society.

But the death penalty is just a symptom of a greater chronic illness we suffer from. We’ll just continue to kill ourselves until we find a cure for the disease.

Edit: I see many do not like my wording for state sanctioned murder. If you are reading this and don’t understand, imagine if listening to George Bush (can’t remember which) tell the tv America doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. He’s drawing a moral line in the sand with terrorism. That’s my point. We need to figure out where our moral line in the sand is with the death penalty, because right now it’s all over the place. Do I think outlawing the death penalty will solve our societal woes? No, I do not. The people will demand it until it is reinstated. For me I ask what is the purpose of the death penalty? Does it serve a greater good for a society? Obviously it does not. Americans are murdered all the time, so it serves no purpose.

Funny how you don’t see a connection between the establishment of the US and now.

I wish I could say this is Twitter’s death kneel but we all know they’ll be back together soon enough. Like an abusive relationship

That’ll send a message. Better watch out Elon or Jeff will pull the plug

Venezuela and Japan have the highest, but you forgot to mention the United States is 12th -“While the U.S. boasts the highest GDP in the world, it nonetheless spends more than it earns. Major contributors to the national debt include the world’s largest military budget, tax cuts (which reduce government income and rarely result in a corresponding increase in economic growth), COVID-19 relief efforts, and mandatory-but-underfunded programs such as Medicare.”

Brunei and Afghanistan have the lowest. You need a better metric to make your pro neo liberal take💀

US. Samesies. Forced starvation during the trail of tears.

We can play the 'Whataboutthis" game if you want.

So the patron not only pays for the food/service, but there’s a separate fee to pay for ALL employees living wages??

If this trend continues the customers will end up making the food too!? Lol, I would talk to the manager for sure.

Capitalism’s solution to homelessness is mass starvation… in underdeveloped countries. With a side of bombs. All in the name of democracy

You’re right. What an unpredictable reaction by Hamas. They really went too far that time. How could they not appreciate what those concert goers were doing for them?! They really were about to turn a corner towards peace. Israel was 🤏🏿 from lifting the apartheid but forget it now! All that work out the window coz of what Hamas did October 7. Sorry Palestine, you really messed up this time.

Thank you kind stranger for sparing some wisdom and making me see the light. Ahh thanka youuu

It feels like Israel uses its own population as a buffer between the IDF and hamas. That and the sheer audacity to have a concert right next to Gaza was a recipe for disaster that Israel took advantage of for its own ambitions. It’s certainly short sighted to think Israel and the US can get rid of hamas. The US should have learned this lesson in Iraq when they created a vacuum after they removed sadam. Palestine definitely has the world’s favor right now and hamas would be smart to play on that

But that is not the definition of playing devil’s advocate. You’re technically correct when you play devil’s advocate. The point is abscond the truth.

‘someone who pretends, in an argument or discussion, to be against an idea or plan that a lot of people support, in order to make people discuss and consider it in more detail:’

When I hear someone say Jim Jordan is a pedo I say “why yes, he is.” Coz he’s complicit and even worse, never took accountability.

Did Hitler gas all 6 million jews? " Well, to be fair…"

Do you see how obnoxious you guys sound. We all know the truth. And the truth is Jim Jordan is complicit. If the world was objective, Jordan would’ve faced time for the crimes. EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T HE DO IT!But the world doesn’t work that way.

You don’t defend that. Ever.

Somebody is not getting their cut, otherwise the SC wouldn’t block this.

You’re beautiful. You’re capable. You will do wonderful things in your life, but no one, and I mean absolutely no one, needs you to play devil’s advocate for Jim Jordan. Respectfully.

The US is sending mix signals. Biden condemns Hamas, calls them terrorists, and funds the iron dome. Of course Israel thinks they have carte blanche in the region. Surrounded by hostile nations, what other nations in the world acts as aggressive as Israel. They do it because they know they have the full backing of the US. The question is will we live in a world without any Palestinians in the middle east soon - coz that’s where we’re headed.

Israel misspelled their defense system. Should be called the irony dome.

Pure, unadulterated racism.

No.

They finally caught their boogie man

Internet posts?! This is why online discussions are ridiculously stupid. A classic argument over semantics about Internet posts, when so many people have been censored for speaking out against the government. Anybody that thinks the US is a bastion of freedom has bought into the propaganda. The idea that the US can critique anybody about this tickles me. Green my ass
