Between states, yes. As insane as world leaders can be, they like being powerful and will never risk total annhilation.
Non-state actors, though, are a big hole in it. Were religious radicals or some deniable black ops cell to make use of one of these devices, you'd have a real mess on your hands.

eugh... if only he didn't hate free trade with a passion, didn't want to figuratively remove the second amendment, and seems to just want to tax and spend and tax and spend to fix the wealth gap...
Everything else looks fine or tolerable about him.
Oh shit, really!?
I know who I'm gonna vote for!!!
Yup... oh the pain of leaning left socially yet wanting a capitalist free market economy... I feel so disenfranchised.
This is why the Lord bringeth us the Libertarian party. A party that has not, nor will ever field an electable candidate that receives the attention that our glorious two party system does.
As much as I want it, the day a true Libertarian is elected is the day I will eat a number of my hats.

Get real, LOOOOL
>Implying that any society is a physical thing and not just a collection of people grumbling about life in agreement.
Alright, well.
Overwhelmingly free-market societies like the US, India, and China tend to have large corporations concentrate a disproportionate power onto themselves. Enough where they have to power to manipulate Government. Heads of corporations are almost always socially conservative to some degree. So then they simply use their influence to make society socially conservative.
How else is it that societies with less or very few Government regulation on the market tend to be socially conservative? The existence of fully libertarian societies is a contradiction of itself.
Yes There is no social or cultural context for India and China, countries that were 3rd world nobodies a lifetime ago, to be socially conservative. It's all corporate propaganda. Has nothing to do with the single-party state controlling China, or the fact that India is advancing far faster technologically and economically than culturally. Totally. Yeah dude. 100%. As we all know, around the time the Soviet Union, that market-free utopia striving to create a better mankind, was taken down by capitalist treachery, Russia was the most open and socially progressive country in the world, with no intolerance or bigotry. Frankly, I think the solution to market players taking control of the most powerful entity in the region which answers to nobody and commands everybody with threats of force and imprisonment is to give up on the market instead of dismantling the all-powerful entity.

I'm glad they went back on it, not glad they seem unrepentant and intend to try again another way.
This had potential, but that potential likely never would have been achieved anyway. People have a way of fucking this stuff up.

Bit in all seriousness, it seems like this guy more wants to send out a message and make it clear that Islamophobia is a serious thing. I don't agree with the law itself, but I do agree with the fact that Islamophobia is a major problem and should be treated as such.
Come now, I know you're smarter than this.
Islamophobia is just a thinly veiled attempt to silence discourse by pulling out the discrimination card. You aren't born Islamic, just like you aren't born a Satanist, yet I don't see any serious legislation being posited in government to try and curtail "Satanophobia."
Islam is a religion, ergo an idea (a fairly pernicious one at that too) and should be afforded the same amount of scrutiny as the other religions. Let's cut the PC bullshit.
Again, I said that I don't agree with the law he's proposing. And Islamophobia tends to tie in with racism against Arabs even if they're Christian. There was a hate crime attack not too long ago where a nearby Syrian or Lebanese Orthodox church was burned down just because they were ethnically Arab.
If Islamophobia was just the religion, I wouldn't care. But any Arab can be victim to it.
>Syrain Christian
>calling them ethnically Arab
Enjoy getting the shit kicked out of you.
Syrians are Arabs. Whether they're Muslim, Christian, or Jewish is irrelevant.
Syria's largest Christian group IIRC, the Assyrians, are not Arabs, and to suggest they are is to back up decades of attempts at forceful assimilation by their Arab neighbors. There are Arab Christians in Syria but Christians in the country are fairly diverse.

We already have a word for being intolerant towards a specific ethnicity, and it's certainly not Islamophobia.
Conflating criticisms of a doctrine with racism is very dangerous. This is how censorship gradually comes into fruition.
Yeah. I'm living in the US, and there's definitely your fair amount of discrimination against Arabs here. I dunno, you have a point though. Can't legislate people not hating certain ethnic groups. You can legislate laws, but you can't legislate their mentality.
What part do you live in? I'm in NC, right next to one of the biggest Army bases, and I've never seen any real discrimination. My best friend as a little kid was the son of Pakistani immigrants, and he was one of the better-liked people in his class. We would hang out all the time and my parents and relatively xenophobic relatives never said anything about it, aside from a really poorly done Iraq war joke from my mother. I didn't even know what Islam was until years later, because there was never any real discussion of cultural differences. We just played pokemon and yugioh and cops and robbers and that was it. If there can be no issues arising in a place like this, I have trouble seeing how prevalent discrimination can be elsewhere.

>Canada
Canada is one of the few Western, Industrialized countries I dislike more than the US. Good job Canada.
Fuck you, man. Canada is the bomb.
At least the US has a much richer diversity of climate (the only country with every climate in the world) and isn't completely depopulated outside of the major urban centers. That, and the only person from Canada I know who I actually like is Sandtrap. But he kind of lives in rural nowhere.
The USA is literally a trillion times better than Greece

I've never heard any Americans say that.
Why do all other countries insist on circpejerking their hate for America?
Because there's a lot to hate. It's a country founded on war and violence.
All fucking countries are founded on and run by violence. If there was no threat of violence why the fuck would you let your government rob you on a regular basis? War to form the country. I'll die before I let some inbred royal dictate my future. War on the native, original poplulation. Look who's talking, Canuck. Violence towards blacks via slavery. Literally every populated continent has had some form of slavery, sans MAYBE Australia. Vietnam. The conflicts in the east. Can't defend that one. The government is, without even arguing, retarded. The companies and corporations that originate from are oppressive string pullers over there that nikel and dime you and others. What is literally every country on earth. And some of the people, although I'm not saying they're bad, are riding a very old hype train of "we're the best" based off old events in history when the world is leaving them behind right now in advancements. What is literally every former European empire. And lastly, the population itself is so divided and against itself. This is true of the entire human population and it's a good thing. I look out for me and you look out for you and everyone will be better off. The proof is in the numbers. More speficially, I'm not saying it's the people. But the american government, its sociatal values, its blind patriotisim and practical propaganda, make the country a place to dislike and a place to hate, and an easy target.
What is Literally Every Country That Has Ever Existed

Like, seriously, Transhumanism is a really interesting theme that no medium has really approached as well as I'd like yet, and to see that the topic is going to be exposed to the mainstream through Call of Duty is disappointing.

There's not much quality content coming from the NV or Skyrim communities these days. If this pumps new energy into creators then I'm all for it, but this will probably just be flooded with shitty armor mods and retexes. I'm open-minded but pessimistic.
