East Germany
Bulgaria
Czechoslovakia
Romania
Albania
Hungary
Poland
Yugoslavia

Literally read my mind

Makes sense, I’m 14, I’m still trying to get a better understanding of political science and everything. But I have my core beliefs set in stone which is more than a lot of others that are my age

Your prefrontal cortex isn't fully developed yet, and you've no real world experiences outside of what little your parents have allowed you to experience.

Bookmark this post and come back in 15 years and we'll see how much of your 14 year old belief system you still adhere to.

The 30-40k is a made up number. I didn't buy it one but given how this war has been set up for decades

I didn't say 40k, I said 30k. I should have said 20-30k based on this:

You have real life experience and are still foolish. The kid probably has more on the ball than you will ever have.

Well history will decide that decision.

Vietnam
Iraq
Afghanistan

Who has voted for a war since 1942? Ignorant.

Nobody said anybody did, smart guy.

Let’s see what real life experience do I have? I’d consider having a major life threatening condition at an early age real life experience. I’d consider having major plastic surgery changing my facial structure real life experience. I’d consider losing my grandmother a month after major surgery because her husband is a piece of **** real life experience, I’d consider having to get my grades up from 40s, 20s and 16s to A’s and B’s real life experience. I’ve experienced a **** ton of adversity recently, and you’re right my prefrontal cortex has not developed it’ll be another 10-15 years, but I’ve gone through more stuff than you realize

So the Congress has to declare war in this one or it’s illegal? Come on.

Thank you sir, I can handle “insults” but what I hate is when people underestimate me

Not one democrat said shite. I was born. We had absolutely no interests and Obomber was deflecting. Every time he needed a distraction.

Libya: House Rejects Obama Authorizing U.S. Strikes, Threatens to Cut Funding

The House of Representatives this afternoon declined to grant the president the authority to support the NATO mission in Libya, another sign of rebellion brewing thousands of miles away on Capitol Hill as NATO's bombing campaign in support of Libyan rebels enters its fourth month.

If it wasn’t for our military SPENDING however, most of Eastern Europe would still be part of the Soviet Union

That’s actually not true. The CIA learned after spending billions in Afghanistan that the Soviets were bankrupting themselves internally and that the SU would have collapsed without our intervention. There’s a Pulitzer Prize winning book called Ghost Wars that deals with the subject.

Don’t listen to these fools kid. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it will be answered unto you, knock and the door shall be opened.
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n’ roll.

Is Enrique and Pablo illegal? Are they the only kids smoking in school?

Bump @GBO2011

 

[GBO2011]

So the Congress has to declare war in this one or it’s illegal? Come on.

Allow me to enter into evidence Article 2, section 2, clause 1 of the United States constitution: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Not only does this nullify the War Powers Resolution of 1973, this also means that if necessary the President has full control over the military…

Congrats on the challenges that you have overcome and for turning around you academic performance. I hope you have a mentor that can listen to your ideas and give advice without trashing your opinions or declaring you unqualified to hold opinions like some on this board have done. Feel free to mix it up in the Politics Forum anytime and don't take the criticisms too seriously. Arguing for your ideas and researching to improve your arguments is the best way to learn. Best of luck as you navigate the next 10 years or so.

Bump @GBO2011

I’m sorry you feel this way, I like to talk about politics, sue me

What? I asked a question about what you said you experience

Mb, I thought you meant kick me out of here when you said bump

No haha. I was bumping the question

To answer, my AP Gov teacher made a comment about the fact that there were 200 or so illegals in our school, so there is a good chance that the people in the bathroom that don’t speak English are illegal, I sound like an ******* I apologize but that’s what it seems like. And no, they are not the only ones in my school that smoke or do drugs, I just used that example since they’re bumping class to go to the bathroom and do that stuff

Yes sir. If Congress wants to stop the war all they have to do is cut of funding. They have done it in the past. They don’t have the stones to do that now. The Democrats are Hanoi Jane and insane.

Oh dang, I’m gonna have to get a hold of that.
