That person sounds absolutely insufferable.

The problem isn't any particular religion, but extremism across all religions.

Similarly, the problem isn't any one system of governance, but authoritarianism rising across all systems of governance. As in, horseshoe theory is bullshit.

United Flight 93 was the plane that crashed in a field in Pennsylvania on 9/11. It was headed for some important federal building in Washington DC, but was detoured to the ground directly below it because of the intrepid actions of the plane's passengers and flight crew. They sacrificed their lives to prevent a (potentially) greater tragedy.

I think the connection op is making is that collective action and bravery can, even in the 11th hour, prevent a larger disaster.

If you don't believe HTML is enough, check any socialist/communist web page.

"You study diligently, while I cheat and learn nothing" You're goddamned right we're not the same, and I hope I never slip to the level of quality this guy does. Chuds believing what this guy believes is job security for me.

The US has held hegemonic dominance over at least the western world economicly, culturally, and militarily for the past few decades. It's really hard to go against that so a lot of countries got on board. Some got really rich because of it.

I think of it this way. When your ready about Roman history, you usually see a map that shows the reach of their empire, but not really the boundaries of what you'd consider the core of the empire. Those maps show the extent of their political and military reach.

So just imagine how history books will show the American Empire. The US has hundreds of military bases, everywhere. Its a global empire. It'd be impressive if it weren't so awful. I mean, can you imagine what life would be like if you lived in a country that has a resource the US wants? It must be a nightmare.
