the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

That sounds a lot like a rapist threatening his victim to "just be quiet and take it".

I'm not familiar with Florida strip clubs, but if they're basically a bar (as strip clubs are where I live), I am surprised that staff were ever allowed to be below the drinking age.

I don't believe so. There are far too many people, in the US, that aren't brainwashed simpletons. The fight for freedom will continue.

Over half of the population can't even be bothered to get off their asses to vote.

I applaud your optimism, but I think it's a fantasy.

Thats one of many times each year the card processing system (in full or in part) has gone down.

Though usually it doesn't stay down as long as that one.

the us will be a true shithole in about a decade.

Will be?

I haven't had any interest in visiting the place since Bush was president.

Is that a typo?

I would agree that Ford is the bigger fiend...

The main thing that concerns me about a fully cashless society is that the means of buying and selling stuff shifts fully into the hands of the for profit, private company payment processors.

If cash is no longer an option, then ever increasing payment fees can become a growing profit center for those banks, credit card companies and payment processors as they gouge the public worse than they already are.

Probably wouldn't be allowed on a plane.

This is how you get Christians to lobby for no religion in schools.

Now if there's an imam to step forward, we could really accelerate this process.

Wait until the Satanic Temple joins the action...

Because he can't do all the things simultaneously?

Remodel as residential?

That's expensive and time consuming.

I've seen it done a couple of times and it took way longer than just bulldozing and rebuilding. But that would have been even more expensive.

It's all part of the "move fast and break things" development process.

He was worried that a non-American team might actually win the cup.

I would love to see his discomfort if 2 Canadian teams were playing in the final series.

We actually do need 0% emissions and 100% renewables.

Yes. The sooner the better.

But on the way there we have to take the wins we can get and not let perfect be the enemy of good.

There are some limited use cases where they can make sense.

Commuting or grocery shopping aren't among those, though.

So you blame Israel for existing

The process that brought the state of Israel into existence caused a lot of animosity among the population who were previously there.

Add to that decades of Israel displacing more people by annexing land for their "settlements" and its not hard to imagine why there would be resentment and anger against the Israeli government.

Are you arguing that Israel should kill children?

That's not how I read it.

My interpretation is that Israel shouldn't be creating more orphans who will have a lifelong desire for vengeance.

All you have to do is redefine "christian-like behavior " to be whatever you want it to be, regardless of what the Bible says.

Though the bible has enough vagueness and contradiction that you can usually find something in there to support almost any position...

Well when you outsource all your skilled jobs to other countries for a few decades, it shouldn't be a surprise that they will move ahead of your country in the skills needed to compete against you.

That quest for extreme short term profits at the expense of your own long term sustainability/survivability has come back to bite you in the ass. Congratulations corporate America, you've played yourself.
