Shockingly I have no disagreement in theory with you. And I appreciate the actual thoughtful and non-emotional response. However I’ll poke the hole in the argument by stating that simply hasn’t happened since we decided to invade Afghanistan. We also have tons of environmental restrictions including the most recent administrations last minute permit restrictions on 625 million acres of new drilling exploration ( https://www.npr.org/2025/01/06/nx-s...forms are seen,not affect any existing leases.) State fracking restrictions make difficult (http://www.climatepolicydashboard.org/policies/industry-materials-waste/fracking-bans). I fully understand that those permits are long term commitments that could take decades to fulfill but they are restrictions nonetheless. There are more difficulties in drilling oil in the US as I’m sure you’d agree to even a minute degree right? No disagreement in what you’re saying really though. We’re shortcutting it (for better or worse) and like I said I disagree with the military engagement although I can understand the rationale.
I don't believe your statistics on preference--and even if it is so slanted, it indicates that propoganda likely has been used to influence. Let me ask you, is there anything the mainstream press reports on that you don't think is accurate?
We're watching our own president break laws in this country every day. I'm supposed to cheer him when he targets other law breakers? This country is built on layers of corruption and fraud, much of it in our own government. Good job busting those Somalis, guys! Now get back to shooting housewives in the street.
What I was trying to point out is that you imply there is some true ownership of Greenland by some entity--its clear this is false so you're "purchasing" opinion is lacking in validity IMO
If Obama came up with the idea of integrating Greenland into the USA you guys would call him a genius, a founding father type, a person who wants to help the Greenland people and world peace, etc. It's pretty obvious you are against it merely based on politics--I hope you at least know this about yourselves and you're not so gullible like the people of Oceania in 1984.
I'm non political, I am commenting on world events without consulting the propaganda arm of our government, so I understand your utter confusion.
He will get a form of immunity. The Supremacy Clause dictates that for federal agents doing official acts. She was not just “dropping off her kid and made a wrong turn,” lol. Even through your hate for the administration, you have to understand that it’s obviously more nuanced than that. Not to mention she was a deadbeat mom to her two other kids that has moved states away from and didn’t have custody of. Her and her wife were activists against ICE. I know you’ll complain about the article source so instead just read the quotes of people close to her. (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...nicole-good-anti-ice-warrior-minneapolis.html) (https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-ne...r-who-trained-to-resist-feds-before-shooting/) What was the wife doing outside the car during the engagement?
Look, it's really not worth it for me to get into a protracted argument on this subject on a football forum. Enjoy your facism. I think you're a smart guy and I don't have anything personal against you, but you are one of the bad guys today. I think you'll stop fooling yourself someday.
Framing someone with a differing opinion as you as a “bad guy” is why this country is so divided and in such turmoil. So you’re acting as a huge part of the problem. But you engage in this stuff often when there’s no one who wants to openly debate. When there’s complete agreement, you engage. Now you don’t want to? I get it. I’ve steered clear of it a lot of the time recently too because it’s not worth it. There are a lot of things I dislike about the government actions over the past year. But some of the stuff being said here are factually incorrect and over emotional without looking deeper into anything or understanding geopolitics (especially on a global scale).
I'm not sure where the emotional response thing is coming from, so I'll just choose to ignore it. The Afghanistan mess is just one example of us messing where we had no business messiing - another door we should have walked past without knocking down. The petroleum business is a filthy, destructive business which, with today's technology does not need to have so many calamitous side effects. I value the health and safety of myself and everyone involved over the profits of the oil companies. There is definitely a price to be paid for those environmental restrictions, just as there is for building safe nuclear facilities. We need to be willing to pay the price rather than facing the consequences so the few can get richer. Health and safety regulations are there for a very real reason. Yes, regulations add to costs but there's a real reason they exist. Did you know there was a nuclear powerplant in Shoreham, Long Island completely built and fueled on Long Island almost fifty years ago that, except for low power testing purposes, never produced a single watt of electricity? It was a financial disaster still being paid for by Long Island electrical customers but could have been a Three Mile Island or Chernobyl type disaster if fully powered up. Maybe not the first day or the first decade but it was constructed with so many problems that complete failure was a very real possibility. I knew some welders and steamfitters working on the project who had traveled around the country building reactors for years but all said they would be a hundred miles away from this one if it ever went online because the quality control was directed by those more interested in the timeline for completion than the quality of the work. The dumbest thing about the story is that the huge expense of delivering and installing the nuclear fuel and then removing it and decontamination was a tremendous portion of the total cost and that was begun even after it became obvious that the place would never be licensed to operate. If the cost of proper construction and quality control was accepted as the right way to do business it might still be operating for another 25-30 years. Of course, the geniuses who thought that siting it on an island with no escape routes other than through the busiest metropolitan area in the country might have created other problems. Just the cost of doing business - but none of those geniuses ever lost a dime. And that big blue tower still sits on the shore of Long Island Sound.
It pretty amazing how we could both find plenty of articles that frame her in a different way, I’ve seen quotes from people close to her that say the opposite. If we’re hell bent on defending people with guns that have to wear masks , and the administration that puts them there, I guess atleast I hope that people tell the women in the lives to be careful where they end up turning . I guess it has to get pretty bad before people realize how bad this is, and how this administration is quicker to defend the bitch with a mask and not the citizens they are to serve .
Post them. I’d like to read. Yeah seems like an extreme case though. And technology accelerated at an immense rate as every decade passes to make sure we don’t fuck things like that up. I’m not claiming this chart is 100% accurate but the curve of technological growth is the main point. I’m sure it’s somewhat close. The way that we extract energy out of the earth in all forms has gotten a lot cleaner, safer, etc. as time has went on. Maybe I’m wrong but it certainly seems like our health and environmental restrictions don’t always keep up with the fact that we can do things in health/environmentally friendly ways that technology affords us.

Tell you what - rather than call me a liar, look up some statistics yourself or you could just ask where I got them from. Why is it so difficult to accept that the people of Greenland are happy with their homeland situation and don't see any reason to have it change? Do you think Greenland or maybe Denmark has a need to produce propoganda (sic) for their people to decide what they really like? What percentage of all Europeans do you believe would prefer their country to become part of the United States? And what makes you think I got that from the mainstream press?
I'm sure it's an extreme case; it was definitely the first one, I don't know if any other nuclear power plant was ready for opening and shut down because it was unsafe since then. The point is that the technology existed fifty years ago to produce safe nuclear energy but if that technology is not fully utilized in favor of saving a few bucks, what good is it? That's why regulations exist Extracting shale oil, fracking, even something seemingly as simple as properly constructing a pipeline bear the same caveats. It's not about what technology allows us to do better but what we actually put in place to do better. I have no qualms about requiring industry to do so; they certainly aren't going to lose any of their money in doing so. I don't know who created the chart you included, or what their motivation was. It doesn't pinpoint glass windows but it does Windows? It doesn't tell us about television but tells us about DVDs? I kind of think air travel would be more noteworthy than hybrid cars. It doesn't do much for me at all, but I've never been unaware of real progress and the cost involved as well as the real costs of not adapting technology properly.
This is gonna happen more and more. These ICE boys are poorly trained rental cops with jobs to rip people from their families and jobs. They are gonna kill more people and we are honestly fortunate its just been this lady so far
I'm not calling you a liar--You got those numbers from a source that is either biased, or blind and has an agenda against the change. That it was reported as so lopsided reminds me of election results for Putin etc. So please tell us your source and how the survey was conducted. Reasonable people attempt to understand the methodology--that is why scientific journals require methodology and have unbiased readers critique the data and how it was gained. Not saying you didn't read it somewhere--its just that you gulped it down because it was exactly the tasty morsel you were looking for and used no critical thinking because it supported your ideas, wherever they came from.
Well that’s dumb as fuck. He’s served a decade as an ICE agent. Before that he served in Iraq and thereafter as as a Border Patrol agent before joining ICE in 2015. He’s a firearms training instructor and a team leading member of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. He is not poorly trained. Are you allergic to reading anything before you spew bullshit or something? https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/all...37-year-old-mother-in-minneapolis-us-10561849
