all I know about the dark ages is that the europoors stole a bunch of books from the muslims and then they left the dark ages
heres all you need to know about the "dark ages"- its a fucking myth
but my collapse of Rome, Barbarians, and religious repression.
The name and effect is overrated I think because it implies the whole world was dark But the fact that all of Western Europe wasn't in a shit hole? That's just not true. A lot of engineering feats, technology, basic hygiene, common sense, etc.

All of that was lost and honestly the engineering feats are only recently being broken (i'm talking decades/centuries, not like 10 years ago).

Fun fact: Rome at its height had more intricate and working road systems than the modern day US Highway system.

He's right, sorry not sorry.


Although his timing and choice of words is really poor.
yknow just because it was said by Ben Franklin doesn't make it immune from being wrong in the most basic of situations right?

because that statement is objectively wrong in an innumerable amount of situations

oh wait im sorry
because he used the words "essential tm liberty"
that means he meant what you think is essential, even if it defies rational boundaries
Not even that, but the things he's mentioned being taken away have already happened in a post 9/11 America anyway, so to suddenly use it like it's all of the sudden about to happen is stupid.

It happened on October 26th (holy fuck my birthday) 2001 with the Patriot Act.

I read it as "Ben Carson, the retarded neurosurgeon" at first glance. Can't say I was wrong either.
He's actually a pretty intelligent man.

It's just that his proposed policies are crazy.

His ideology is fairly complex and interesting by Republican standards.
Yeah I know he is, I mean he's a retired neurosurgeon so that's something. It's just his ways of thinking in things outside of the field of medicine seem asinine and so backwards.

It's not BF3, it's a reboot

and battlefront was a Battlefield reskin anyway, so yeah.....

If you've ever met someone that went into the military being a complete jackass (I've met a few personally) it really changes them for the better.
Not to disregard your other points, but I can disagree with this. A lot of Marines I've seen have turned out arrogant as fuck because "Lol I'm a Marine now". It's fucking annoying, the brainwashed idiots.
That's because the Marines are literally meat shields and are basically taught exactly that. You ever seen Full Metal Jacket? Its very accurate
Haaaa no dude. That was Hollywood to the fucking extreme. Don't ever take that movie as a real representation of how basic training is. Maybe back then in Vietnam times it had some relevancy, but not anymore.
I had a friend of mine recently come back from the Marines. He said its still like that. A lot of "You're a pice of shit" put you down mind games which ends up giving them that "Lol I'm a marine" attitude.
The yelling is the part they nailed perfectly, yeah. Basically the mindset is, if you can't handle someone yelling in your ear, how the hell are you going to deal with gunfire going off around you?

But the hitting, abuse, all of that? No, if Drill Instructors so much as lay a finger on you, they'll get in so much trouble you wouldn't even know it. I know back then there were reports of abuses, but today is a no no.

I've known a lot of servicepeople who let their service flavor their entire life that way. They always have to butt into conversations with some barely relevant information about something that happened their military service
It's usually the young ones though obviously. Because they think since they're done with Basic, they're suddenly a war vet. The older Marines at least mostly shut up.

What makes people think it looks fun?
Star Wars massive battles mostly. Dice has always done a good job actually making a place feel like an actual battle and warzone, unlike CoD.
Hm. All right.

Is a picture of two sluts really supposed to explain why this is in any way better? You should also know the difference between eastern and western RPG's, and how western was on top for a long time and only recently is eastern RPG's actually finding their groove again.

No one likes being forced into something they shouldn't have to do, especially Americans. We don't need to be forced to be conscripted because we have such a large population and strong military. This isn't Finland where Russia is constantly biting at their heels.
I've already said in this thread it wouldn't work in the US or any country nearly as big as the US
Yeah I just read that.

Well seeing as the majority of people here are American's and we're in that mindset, there isn't much to be said.
I suppose its more of set up a hypothetical that you lived in a Switzerland or Israel sized state where mandatory service works would you agree with it?
Hmm....

I'm not sure. I can see the benefits of it, but I've never been a fan of FORCING someone to do something they more or less wouldn't want to do. I'm 50/50 on it. There is only so much 5 and a half months of training can do for you in the real world aside from combat too.

Doesn't really sound very good, no.

Then why is it okay to call a registry a compromise when gun owners get nothing out of it? Every expansion if gun control has been labeled a 'compromise'
I don't see how less mass shootings, less gun violence, lower suicide rates, lower homicide rates, usually less violent crime in general, less shootings or gun accidents, a diminished illegal black market, a better name for actually responsible gun owners and so forth could possibly be understood as "we get nothing out of it".
Flee, you are more intelligent than this post.
The irony hurts

It'll certainly live up to the battlefield standard.

I've heard that it plays very differently
Considering Battlefront was essentially a Battlefield rip off with a Star Wars skin on, I'm sure they'll do fine.
