Mostly because I'm bored. Also because I hold some - at least here - potentially controversial opinions, and it seems like throwing it out to the crowd is a good way to get some discussion going.

This thread is deliberately broad. Ask me anything about politics, economics, society, philosophy, foreign policy, whatever strikes your fancy.

Considering my opposition to a lot of mods' opinions (you could name any mod, and I'd come up with some quite large discrepancies), I have to say there simply isn't one. If you present your opinions in a respectable way, then you're likely to be treated well enough by the moderation team.

Taking that, however, there's also the capacity for those who act like arseholes to be treated with suspicion when they're actually serious, which, in truth, is only their own fault.

Indicative of quite a serious socio-religious opposition to the principles of liberalism.

I'm not one for world policing, by any stretch, but military intervention (by the entire western world) is simply necessary to stop the rise of ISIS, the persecution of the Kurds and the breakdown of post-Hussein Iraq. As for Syria? I'd rather the West throws its entire weight into supporting the Assad regime.

I'm also a big supporter of Israel. Hopefully that answers what you're getting at, at least if briefly.

One could argue that putting boots on the ground is simply what ISIS wants, to try and add more legitimacy to their regime and draw in more foreign fighters. Thoughts?

What to do with the NHS seems like the main thing, to be honest.

No, I actually quite like you and don't think you're an arsehole at all. I was thinking of somebody else.

I think the thing with you is that you sometimes present your opinions in an overly-casual manner, which can be mistaken for facetiousness. I actually agree with you on a couple of things.

Do you think the United States could function without a federal government, or at least a severely limited federal government? Would this be beneficial or only make things worse?

No, it couldn't function without a federal government.

I certainly think the federal government could be altered and downsized, but it should be streamlined as opposed to crippled.

EU, simply for the depth. Although I don't get a lot of time to play, nowadays.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Do you hold any beliefs or ideas that contradict each other, even slightly?
