How mussies are supposedly respectable. Especially after they fucked over one of the best achieved peoples on the planet.

I just have an issue with the constant appraisals of Islam in western countries while Christianity is shit on. What gets me though is how both the Arab and Persian populations were magnificent in every field before "If it is not in the Quran it is heresy, burn it! If it is in the Quran we already know it, burn it!" Islam came along.
Oh, yeah, I get what you're saying. Most people don't realise that Islamic fundamentalism is actually quite a new phenomenon. The contributions of the Islamic world in the Middle Ages, while not Islamic in themselves, were incredibly important.

I'm not entirely sure how one would get epilepsy from beheading people >_>
Physical trauma to the head can cause epilepsy. More a side-effect of warfare than beheading people specifically; it's actually quite a big problem for our own military.

I want the 68pc of British Muslims who oppose freedom of speech to go to Iraq and Syria. They should fight for ISIS. They should behead innocents, murder children and proclaim genocide against the Jews. And those that aren't completely psychopathic should develop depression, PTSD, epilepsy and anxiety. They should suffer.
Then, and only then, will they realise the true extent of the suffering their despicable ideology causes.

 Ever since Theresa May announced the U.K.'s new anti-terrorism bill, I've been in a running debate with one of my friends regarding liberty vs. security. He commented today on how much more "conservative" and "patriotic" I'd become in response to May's bill, and I'll admit I've certainly been pushed into a more libertarian and hawkish attitude. So, essentially, are there any hot button issues that turn you into an ideologue? If so, what are they?

Economy is a tool; humans are exploitative.
Certain systems, however, are more adept at facilitating exploitation.

Pure, unregulated capitalism - yes.
I take a bit of a (pedantic) issue with the use of the term "unregulated". It seems to me that, so long as you have an effectual social safety net in place, then regulation isn't that important. Although, I doubt you were using the term "unregulated" in such a specific sense >.>

There are always numerous arguments in favour of this, and yet so few against for some reason.
I despise state socialism for its blatant and unapologetic paternalism, and yet left-libertarianism has lost none of this arrogant paternalism in its insistence on telling people they're being exploited and used. I think, so long as the potential employee isn't bargaining for the means of his survival, capitalism isn't exploitative.

Fatalism implies a complete lack of choice or influence in your environment. If you think that's qualitatively similar to determinism, then you don't understand determinism.
Joke's on you, I really don't.

Truth be told, though, the US is probably doing the same thing throughout Europe.
I thought the U.S. quite openly supported the E.U.? If there's any substantial funding going on, the Liberal Democrats should be the most popular party in my country >.>

They're also all Eurosceptic.Marine Le Pen has admitted that her far-right Front National accepted money from a Russian bank, amid growing evidence that the Kremlin is backing anti-European parties across the continent.
Le Pen said that her party had received a loan of €9 million (£7 million) in September from the Russian-owned First Czech-Russian Bank, but insisted that the money would have no impact on her policies.
“We signed with the First [bank] who agreed and we’re very happy about it,” she said. But it is “ridiculous to suggest that gaining a loan would determine our international position,” she insisted. “These insinuations are outrageous and offensive.”
According to recent opinion polls, the National Front is now France’s most popular party.
Russian loans have also been extended to Greece’s neofascist Golden Dawn party, Belgium’s Vlaams Belang, Italy’s Northern League, Hungary’s Jobbik and the Freedom Party of Austria, The Times reports. All of these parties except Golden Dawn were invited to observe Crimea's vote on joining Russia and all offered their support for the annexation of the south-eastern Ukrainian region.
The loans to the National Front from the Russian-owned bank occurred amid "growing evidence of a secret Kremlin campaign to buy influence in European politics," The Times says.
French politician Bruno Le Maire, a former cabinet minister who is running for the leadership of the centre-right Union for a Popular Movement, said that it was inconceivable that the loans would have no impact on Le Pen's attitude to Russia: “You are always under obligation to your creditor,” he said.
France’s National Front has "long struggled to raise the cash needed to match its political ambitions," France 24 reports. The party's treasurer Wallerand de Saint-Just said that the loans would be used to finance campaigning expenses in the lead up to the French national elections in 2017, for which the party would need approximately "30 to 40 million euros".
Last month, Vincent Jauvert claimed in the French weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur that National Front leaders had been in regular communication with the Russian ambassador in Paris, Alexander Orlov.
"The Kremlin has been betting on the National Front," Jauvert said. "It considers the party able to take power in France and potentially reverse the course of European history in favour of Moscow". Jesus fucking Christ.

It's a U.K.-based forum for young(ish) people to debate politics, philosophy, economics and the like.It has a fairly decent American population, with dedicated boards for different countries/regions. The discussion there is somewhat more challenging than the discussion here, and more thought-provoking. Basically, Kinder would definitely benefit from a visit. It'd be nice to grow the community there, too. It really is very diverse, ranging from Communists to Conservatives and Muslims to some guy with Richard Dawkins as his avatar. Just in case you need any more convincing, I've been PM'ing one of the mods and mentioned we're an offsite from B.net. His response? "I'm aware of how bad Bungie's site is." Bang on the money. Get your fucking sorry asses over here.

Why don't you just move to America? It's not perfect, but it's way better than England.
Funny you should say that, but I've actually thought about it. I'm studying in America for a year during my undergraduates degree, too, which should prove interesting. Not sure how it aligns with my long-term interests, however.

That's ridiculous. I'd much rather live in a nanny state than a fucking fascism.
I didn't say otherwise. I'm saying nanny states are just fucking pathetic.

The last one was Ben Bernanke. This one is Alan Greenspan.

Police states exist to enforce nanny states.
In proper police states at least you can respect the fascist brutes doing the enforcing. Something about a man smashing my head in for inciting insurrection strikes me as a more respectable way of using one's time, when compared with stopping people for speeding on a bicycle in a park.

BBC presenter Jeremy Vine was stopping for going three times the speed limit. . . At 16mph. On a bicycle. In a park. Fuck me. Meanwhile we have police commissioners telling us council tax needs to be hiked 25pc in order to properly fund the police force.

I separate my personal opinions from my political/professional ones
That's the biggest load of fucking nonsense I've ever heard.
Explain
How on earth do you separate political and personal opinions?
