Basically, North Korea is not allowed to have nukes.micky107 wrote:Why is N. Korea aloud to have nukes at all?
S. Korea doesn't.
This will never be over until N. Korea has no nukes at all.
Did you know that there are thousands of families still waiting to be re-united since 1953 ?
The young fat little N. Korean's voice only rings loud because it's the only way he stays in power.
I say, let him die.
Korea with no border under democratic rule. (elections), no nukes.
Done! Safer, better world for everyone.
https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/ ... sp-what-itMr Trump’s inept politics stem from a moral failure. Some counter-demonstrators were indeed violent, and Mr Trump could have included harsh words against them somewhere in his remarks. But to equate the protest and the counter-protest reveals his shallowness. Video footage shows marchers carrying fascist banners, waving torches, brandishing sticks and shields, chanting “Jews will not replace us”. Footage of the counter-demonstration mostly shows average citizens shouting down their opponents. And they were right to do so: white supremacists and neo-Nazis yearn for a society based on race, which America fought a world war to prevent. Mr Trump’s seemingly heartfelt defence of those marching to defend Confederate statues spoke to the degree to which white grievance and angry, sour nostalgia is part of his world view.

Not a tea party or alt right kind of a republican, but a republican.
Well, the "Moral Majority" stole one right out of the bolshevik playbook. As you probably know, bolshevik means "of the majority", but just like the "Moral Majority", the bolsheviks were in reality always a minority with extremist views. They just figured that by pretending to be the majority, they'd get more followers.Strangelove wrote:

Funny that.
Absolutely. Moral is not a constant. The bible thinks it is OK to sell your daughters as slaves, and suggests that disobedient children should be stoned to death. I think today most parents would consider those ideas immoral. But we have to realize that the bible mirrors what was thought to be moral in the Middle East during the late bronze age and early iron age. The world has changed.*Strangelove wrote:Could it be that “morality” much like “beauty” lies in the eye of the beholder?
Of course it is immoral to falsely label someone a racist.Strangelove wrote:For example I consider it immoral to falsely label someone a “racist”
… you on the other hand might not.
