In Britain, terrorism used to automatically mean the IRA until recently. So yes, they are aware white people can blow people up too.

Yeah... we lived with the IRA bombings for years. We know full well that terrorists can be white.

In this case, people said that because early reports said it might be a transformer or generator that exploded, not a bombing. Brits are fully aware that terrorists can be white—this, as far as I know, is the first terrorist attack in Manchester in 1996, and that was by the IRA.

And also about how much money he saved on the F-35 and Ford-class carriers (he didn’t) for the Coast Guard to use (they don’t).

My thoughts EXACTLY. Practice what you fucking preach, buddy.

Is this the same guy who teamed up with the ever-creepy Robin Thicke on “Blurred Lines”? Now he’s talking about lifting women up?

My favorite part was when he told them how he was the most persecuted artist ever, and no artist has ever been treated more unfairly than him.

Hmm.

I know a lot of people who adore TBBT, is there something I’m missing? Same for New Girl... I just can’t get into it.

I (somewhat) know Joe Alwyn (worked on a movie together). He’s exceptionally sweet and very adorable. Don’t think they met through their agents as they’re repped at different places, but I’m perfectly okay with them dating as he was an unwaveringly lovely person to be around when we were working together.

These people are trying to make a living. I’m not sure what’s hard to understand about that. There were no wolves when many of them started raising cattle, and now there are, and they have to protect themselves because those cows are their livelihood. And frankly, that wolf’s life isn’t inherently more important or…

I always try to see things from other people’s perspective and in the case of the Yellowstone wolves the cattle farmers seem to have a legitimate gripe. Wolves were eradicated from the area a long time ago so when many made the decision to go into raising big, slow, delicious cows they weren’t anticipating having to…

I’m somewhat stumped over the defense over a totalitarian regime. Beyond WW2, what good did they accomplish?

They did help us with making Hitler fight a two front war. Eastern Europe also suffered for that favor under the Soviet bootheel for decades afterwards.

Russia under the Romanov’s. Which I acknowledged above after Jerry brought it up. So what I really should say Russia’s leadership have been bad for all of its history? It just got really bad from 1917 til 1991 under the lie of being a “worker’s paradise”.

Lenin had a huge part to play in the Red Terror. The Checka’s atrocities alone during Lenin’s period of power assure him a spot among the worst leaders in history. Lenin was far from innocent. Stalin merely continued and grew the seed of terror Lenin planted. You might say it flowered under Stalin’s care.

So Stalin wasn’t a genocidal megalomaniac and Soviet communism wasn’t a spectacular failure? 

Your right, there was just an assassination. Stalin may have spilt the most blood but Lenin’s hands are very much covered in it too.

lol. Although I’m 90% sure my use of “there’s” is correct.
