"Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe torture can be justified to extract information from suspected terrorists, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll ... Surveys by other polling agencies in recent years have shown U.S. support for the use of torture at around 50 percent."

"Americans oppose President Barack Obama's efforts to close the detention center for enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to the results of a CNN/ORC poll released Friday. The poll found that 56% oppose shutting the center, while 40% support the idea."

The idea not the examples, but I'm sure you knew that.

people suck and ideologies only make them worse

All tools of the ptb

you know trump's plan to privatize air traffic control?

has there ever been any examples of privatizing something, and it turned out good?

British airways?

Yep. The state nationalised airlines, made them successful and then handed them over to private control to reap the benefits.

I did a few months ago. As in did call. As in did record it. As in you are welcome to hear their laughter or absence thereof. Actually, no, you aren't welcome. Those who are nice to me are.

Nobody on here is stupid enough to believe you, sorry

I already called in on him. He has said multiple illegal things in this thread and you just let it go. I leave it to the authorities' capable hands to do with as they please (or as they don't please); no legal action is threatened by me.

Please don't make me go dig up his death threats against the president. They're there. Plural.

I'll leave the issue alone in this thread going forward, since that's your wish and it's your thread so it's your rules and I respect you and the rules. If anyone wants to hear the recording you can PM me. Out of respect for MB don't discuss it here further.

I doubt support for torture is that low. It's probably much higher than two thirds. And I'm also quite sure 56% is way low for those who want Gitmo to remain open.

I support a torture warrant. And I'm not talking about this fake-play stuff that liberals like to pretend is torture, like waterboarding. I mean real torture upon probable cause to believe that a mass casualty attack is imminent and that the person to be questioned has information critical to preventing it.

Sorry?

I'm a villager, but in this game, I get to show everyone my role PM.

I have infracted zorkman for continuing to harass DWetzel.

i don't get it. I warn you, you do the same thing again. it's like you want to find out if I really mean it. i really mean it.

I will not tolerate harassment of other posters. I will not tolerate threats. Do it again and you're gone, period.

DWetzel threatened the life of the president on multiple occasions. I threatened no one. But you infract me for "threats."

Again, you were wrong about my "pretending," and I have the tape to prove it.

Please rescind this infraction immediately.

If you provide me with the recording, i will permaban you on receipt. It's only that I believe you are trolling rather than serious that maintains your status in this forum.

Now that Big Brother is officially itt, I would like to state for the record:

this thread for me is for entertainment purposes only

snitching to the cops is super low

i wonder if zork would have snitched to king george 3rd on george washington

i know we're supposed to post some kind of insight along with the links we post but.... this just left me speechless. it's only a 25 second clip. not even taken out of context. she just straight up says she doesn't support livable wage

Now that Big Brother is officially itt, I would like to state for the record:

**** President Trump and the Russian ****ing cossack horse he slouched toward Gomorrah on.

Also. Zorkman, if you did that and are proud if it, we're through.

Torture has proven to be quite innefective. Do you just enjoy being wrong so you choose to support it?

The president doesn't post in this thread.

Those of you who believe even slightly in the institutions of government (if not the people occupying those positions) will be happy to know that the Secret Service (unlike certain others) apparently has common sense, the slightest hint of morality, and a basic understanding of law, and has never wasted their time contacting me because everyone here knows what an utter waste of their time that would be.

For the record, I will not consent to being libeled in this manner -- being falsely accused of a crime and harassing someone is actually a serious manner. Zorkman, you have 24 hours from this post to retract your statement and apologize.

Yeah it's pretty amazing. How do you go to the polls and vote for that person after they explicitly said they don't care if hard working people who put in a full time a schedule don't make enough money to live? It's ludicrous

Hmmm the plot thickens.

I don't know why, but I gotta believe MB is at fault for this for some reason.

Please do not join him in making threats.


that, my friend, is the one thing we can all agree on.
