I think you missed the point with my post, which is fair since the way I said it doesn't look like criticism.

Israel itself is useless. We only support it as a foothold into the middle east. As you said, anybody else could theoretically fill that role, but the reality of it is that much of the middle east hates the United States. If we lose Israel, America would have to spend a lot more to regain that foothold.

To make it perfectly clear, I am in agreement that the United States should drop them as an ally and leave the middle east alone altogether.

Maybe to visit the grand canyon, Vegas, or Hawaii, but other than that there is nothing here that you can't find of better quality elsewhere.

Other countries have prettier parks that aren't being shuttered or fracked. Our products are overpriced, and our food (much of which isn't even ours) is unhealthy at best.

Our country used to be safe for tourists but that is no longer the case under the current government. To add on to it, you have to bribe your way in.

Stay away. Do not visit here unless you are on the brink of death and are trying to get something off of your bucket list.

I'm not a scientist, but I think it is because humans like patterns, which is what music is. What makes random banging and loud noises annoying and how is that different from music? I think the answer is that music has patterns. What makes people like or hate different types of music is that they like one pattern over another.

Remember, Nintendo is a corporation and never on the side of the consumer. They are literal clowns - on the surface they are colorful and try and make you laugh, but inside they are dead and soulless.

I hope you understand your comment is not constructive. I understand the rage and that it is a fact, but it doesn't add to the conversation. You ignored that I said "regulated". Some Republican ideas work "ok" under the assumption there is regulation.

It's easy to say that, but it's not that simple. Some traditional Republican viewpoints are valid. NOTE - I said valid, not correct or best. The problem is that they don't fill the void when they take things away or compromise to find a middle ground.

An example is a smaller government. Do I agree with it? Not necessarily. Is it a valid opinion? Yes. As we see with the current administration, things are being chopped left and right. The real problem is that they aren't replacing the void left by these services.

As an example, if you hold the opinion that the government shouldn't be responsible for mail services, you can't just cut it without making sure that there is something else well regulated there to pick up the slack. Regulation does not equate to unprofitable.

Not all party members feel that things should be stripped without replacement. This is just a small example.

When things aren't balanced. It either tells me the devs do not play their game or they have a dominant strategy and don't bother playing anything else.

I've heard stories from professionals and you would be surprised how many devs don't actually play the game they are developing.

My friends and I use it as an excuse to have a get together. None of us use it to celebrate the United States or its independence.

I was laid off from a place I only worked at for a month and I could already tell I was going to hate it there. The separation was mutual, but still took me 3 months to get over it. It is frustrating to lose your income and coverage, and it is even more frustrating to have to jump through the hoops of hell known as the job market. You are not alone, and the feelings you have are perfectly normal in today's society.

Yes, this is the same turd that is upset he didn't win a Nobel peace prize. What makes him think deporting/locking up more than 50% of the population is what a peace revolutionary would do?

So what I'm hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.
