I've been with a girl who was talking down on uncut guys while we were fooling around, she went on to say that she's glad I'm not one of those weirdos.
"Do you know what uncircumcised looks like?"
"Well yeah, duh"
"Sorry babe, but I don't think you do..."

Kinda fishy that so many bigwigs don't want an independent Britain...

Last I checked the Brits wanted Brexit literally every time they voted on it

And now life with the FDA is hell. I'm a medic, you have any idea how many lifesaving measures we aren't allowed to utilize stateside just because someone didn't suck off a congressman or offer enough "donations"? Nevermind the quality of life post-care that the Tricare refuses to authorize. Half of the poor bastards that come to sick call are hurting because Tricare providers fucked them up, nevermind the ones who won't get help in the first place because the Major would prefer playing golf or pumping iron instead of treating the battalion. You are asking for government work. I know firsthand what "Good enough for government work" looks like.

Honestly, if the feds would just butt out the American healthcare system would be much better. But no, instead Uncle Sam says only a few people can make insulin. Nevermind the headache that trying to open a medical practice is. Even MRIs are restricted to seven digit costing facilities.

Don't humor the kraut. Some people simply have no respect, and can't be helped.

Blood transfusions are considered lifesaving care. You'll get it when you need it.

Eyyy

I sang Whips and Chains, Baby Seals, and Bodies Bodies Bodies. Edgy? Yeah. But the chick who sang Napalm Sticks to Kids ain't catching any heat, so I'm kinda pissed at the inconsistency. Nevermind that we were explicitly told all cadences were free game.

I'm actually currently in hot water for singing a cadence someone took offense to. It's bullshit.

And I don't like the "Only college" pipelines either. I'd push trades, apprenticeships, military, and other viable routes as respectable alternatives to university.

Better focus would be ideal, but it means cutting out the "one size fits none" thing that we've been doing for over a century. It's easier to hit your target when your aperture is small. Not aiming for the chest, but rather at a button on the target's shirt, if that makes sense.
I'd start by pushing DOE powers and responsibilities down to state levels at the largest, maybe in regional pacts. Make it so that the guys making these decisions are the guys who work near and know the people and the area, and are accountable to the people of their state, rather than some bureaucrats in Washington.

I'd like to see school funding actually go to schools. There's no reason for an administrator in a separate office to drive a 2021 BMW, to their new lacquered hardwood desks and engraved iMac pros replaced every year, while students are fed shit that makes veggie crumble MREs look good, being prohibited from brown bagging, only to sit a desk older than grandma just to read a history book describing the Mujahedeen's continuing heroic resistance against Soviet oppressors.

I'm not taking it as an attack. Frankly, this has been a great opportunity for me to explore my belief system... uninhibited, I suppose. This has been a good talk.

Every soldier to have ever been sent to Hell on Earth who never made it home.

HOW TO FIGHT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENSLAVE OR KILL YOU
Step 1: Bring a gun.
Step 2: Bring your friends who have guns.
Step 3: Bring your neighbors who don't want to be slaves. With guns.
Step 4: Bring the other guy's enemies. With guns.
Step 5: Hope your side is better at fighting.
And remember, have fun. Otherwise, what's the point?

I'm not sure I've made it clear, but I accept that my way is not clean or safe. I accept that violence will ensue. I accept that sometimes the good guys will lose. And above all, I know that all of this happens anyways, everywhere, all the time, regardless of whatever "system" is in place. My only wish is for more autonomy at the lowest possible level.
Though, I seem to recall addressing such scenarios earlier in the thread.

I'd rather contend with a little lord than a God emperor. At least it'd be easier to run.
