Your claim is actually, generically true in a total vacuum. Just completely unrelated to this situation lol.
There's your little problem lol. Should actually look at that sometimes.
Our "mindset" stopped and won WW1, WW2, Korean War, Cold War, and hopefully the caliphate jihad war / reconcuesta - la raza / annoying communism clowns. While you do nothing to help lol, just yap at the doers.

Oh boy, you're a piece of work really.
Saved us globally 3 or 4 times now? You mean be the pyromaniac and fireman?
Seriously, you exist to protect the global elite, the bankers the oligarchy.
The fact you call us " euros " tells more about you then anything else.

LMAO, are you ffing serious now? You haven't won a war since like ever. You won the cold war, really? Well that's new.
and for your attention, America didn't do a damn thing until the very end of WW2. And again only for its personal gain.
Heck they couldn't even do D-day right. Damn fool.
our mission:
to widen the scope of financial, economic and political information available to the professional investing public.
to skeptically examine and, where necessary, attack the flaccid institution that financial journalism has become.
to liberate oppressed knowledge.
to provide analysis uninhibited by political constraint.
to facilitate information's unending quest for freedom.
our method: pseudonymous speech...
anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. it thus exemplifies the purpose behind the bill of rights, and of the first amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation-- and their ideas from suppression-- at the hand of an intolerant society.
...responsibly used.
the right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. but political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse.
- mcintyre v. ohio elections commission 514 u.s. 334 (1995) justice stevens writing for the majority
though often maligned (typically by those frustrated by an inability to engage in ad hominem attacks) anonymous speech has a long and storied history in the united states. used by the likes of mark twain (aka samuel langhorne clemens) to criticize common ignorance, and perhaps most famously by alexander hamilton, james madison and john jay (aka publius) to write the federalist papers, we think ourselves in good company in using one or another nom de plume. particularly in light of an emerging trend against vocalizing public dissent in the united states, we believe in the critical importance of anonymity and its role in dissident speech. like the economist magazine, we also believe that keeping authorship anonymous moves the focus of discussion to the content of speech and away from the speaker- as it should be. we believe not only that you should be comfortable with anonymous speech in such an environment, but that you should be suspicious of any speech that isn't.

again if you join the military expect to have to kill or get a job at mc donalds flipping burgers or maybe flower arranging
Killing someone or flipping burgers?
I'll flip burgers.......
see i'm fine with your choice but those who join the military and then complain about killing are wrong .
but you have not joined and are serving food which is good as i expect us real men could do with a burger when on leave
Can you kill a human simply because your government tells you to?
yes that is the job requirement i would not hesitate
You sound like the perfect pawn.
*shakes head*
Your kind is the reason we continue perpetual war.
This is not a valid comeback. You can't "defeat" a logical, reasoned argument solely with your private, personal finger wagging and head shaking and snarky dismissiveness.
Well, not in the real world that most adults inhabit. Maybe wherever you're posting from.
Well that is just like your opinion, man.
not sure if sarcasm... or?
lol, my post was 100 % serious.
Your reply is right out of Bill & Ted. Thus, I started to think that your whole series of posts was spoofing the liberal mindset.
