I'm all for moving power back to the states.
but the all volunteer military doesn't work when non military can vote
My views changed radically after I turned 23
I moved to the US when I was 24
We don't need a military large enough for everyone to be in it.
no
not like thast
you have to tie voting for war for serving in war
what we are doing doesn't work
the all volunteer military hasn't really won anything ever
I agree that voting for war should be tied to signing up for the draft.
but its been in the field continuously for decades
But also we don't vote for wars. We vote for politicians who decide to go to war whenever they feel like it.
I think the lack of consequences is what makes that keep happening
I think it's the military industrial complex that lobbies for wars.
but the voters have the last say
Most Americans don't care at all where we send the troops.

@Legalize unless you're actually disabled
And by disabled Im not counting all the 600 lbs fatties
They shouldnt be on gov assistance to begin with imo
Do you count people who paralyze themselves doing motorcycle stunts?
I'm all for letting the morbidly obese starve off the pounds but I also don't want to be caught in a fox hole with one.
Obese people (unless its an actual genetic defect) can lose weight
I have a hard time believing someone can reach 600 lb without some kind of genetic defect.
nah
it happens
more and more
Ever watched "My 600 lbs life"?
The majority of those people are obese by choice
Choosing to be that large sounds indicative of some kind of genetic defect.
Even if it's not a glandular one.
Eating 5000-10.000 calories/day is absolutely a choice and not a genetic defect
Yeah, but only someone genetically deficient would make a choice like that.
A normal brain does not produce that kind of behavior.
Most of it is due to trauma, and they use food as a comfort
I hadn't consider that possibility. I'm far from an expert on trauma.
Im just going off of the observation from the show. I can very well be wrong too
"But Im just big boned"
There's also a study that links poverty to obesity as well
