Removed, expelled, killed, defeated, whatever you want to call it. My dad was part of the forces invading Kuwait at the time, not that it gives me a high-ground or anything just fyi Then you should realise that the majority of the Iraqi forces were not defeated. The Gulf War ended under a ceasefire.
What does that have to do with Kuwait and the 2003 invasion? I'm responding to your implication that Saddam was outright defeated during the Gulf War. He absolutely categorically wasn't. The fact that the US didn't press on is why we had the Iraq War.
I didn't imply Saddam was "outright defeated"
Here's what I said
He invaded Kuwait and the coalition removed the Iraqi forces Do you really need me to clarify that I meant the coalition forces removed the Iraqis from Kuwait? That was the main the objective for the war, liberating Kuwait.
Okay, sure, but your initial post implies that 2003 invasion efforts of deposing Saddam were not warranted.

The Iraq War Because we totally should've allowed a fascistic crime lord to continue his fascistic crime lord activities.
Assad is no different now other than the fact that he doesn't have the same resources Saddam did, where is the Western invasion?
Assad is not trying to annex an oil chokepoint critical to global financial stability and threatening to destabilize the entirety of the Middle East last I recalled.
Lol and when did Saddam? He invaded Kuwait and the coalition removed the Iraqi forces, fast forward 10 years or so the West invades Iraq on the basis of "liberating" Iraqis
Lrn2history bro. The Iraqi forces were not "removed." Saddam was successful against the Kurdish uprising and remained in power after the Gulf War. It was a mistake on the US's behalf to not continue pressing on with the war and deposing him.

I already gave reasons as to why the West directly started these wars above, so just respond to that if you're going to respond at all 
It would be great if you could link us to these alleged reasons instead of trying to shift the goal posts. Because it's certainly not in this thread.

WW1 What the fuck does the precipitation of tension amongst a couple of bumfuck slavic countries have to do with the West? WW2 Fascism is not a Western value. The Korean War Are you forgetting this was an internal conflict between the North and the South that the US only joined in after the Japanese occupation? The Vietnam War Only really viable point here. Kind of mixed on the Vietnam war myself. The Gulf War Because we totally should've allowed a fascistic crime lord who controlled Iraq to annex Kuwait. The Iraq War Because we totally should've allowed a fascistic crime lord to continue his fascistic crime lord activities. The Afghani War Please offer us better alternatives as to how we should've deposed a terrorist organisation that pretty much controlled an entire country. The Syrian Conflict A melting pot of sectarian and religious violence. Assad started this by exacerbating the Arab Spring. Of course, foreign involvement in favour of the Islamist FSA isn't exactly helping anything, but to suggest that we, the West are the root cause of all this is hogwash.

Ah yes, thank you for stepping up to the plate and offering this increasingly hollow-sounding argument.
Anyone else tired of this evil white European/American meme? Not every international conflict is instigated by us. In fact, I'd wager the majority of global instability has nothing to do with us.

Well they're not original. They fit all the typical archetypal tropes of the medieval fantasy genre, (dashing young knight, princess in distress, lovable rogue etc) but at least they all have memorable character traits besides le ebin brooding boogeyman.

Oh for fuck sake, can we put this Vader meme to bed already?
He has a cool suit and a cool voice, that's literally the only reason why he's so popular. Inserting him as the centrifugal character of the prequels is precisely why they failed. There's nothing really interesting about him, or nothing interesting that Lucas could come up with anyway.
ANH portrayed him as a moderately high ranking general of the Empire, nothing more. He was surbodinate to a multitude of people (Tarkin) and openly mocked for being an ex Jedi. Not the supreme badass that the superseding films portrayed him to be.
The only reason he caught traction is because his aesthetics and persona struck a cord with a lot of people, and now we have a mildly interesting villain with an albeit cool vibe to him as the recurring antagonist, despite the fact that he has no particularly interesting character traits to ride home about besides his visual appearance.
Ranting aside, I'd rather they come up with new antagonists instead of relying on the formulaic approach of recycling old villains, (especially one as lacklustre as Vader) which has become all too the norm in Hollywood quite frankly.
le regurgitation of redlettermedia talking points meme
It's not "RLM regurgitation." Vader is actually a pretty boring character at best sans his appearance.

Best PM: David "we reserve the right to bomb niggers" Lloyd George. Yeah, but pensions. Gladstone was the superior Liberal.
Worst PM: Clement Atlee, the filthy fucking commie. It's amazing how many people suck his cock.
I'll be honest, I don't know much of Lloyd George's policies. He's my favourite because he's a proponent of our fundamental rights to bomb dune coons.

It's odd but of course there's going to be assholes making a big deal out of it just like the Bill Clinton blowjob thing which wasn't a big deal at all.
I know right
Only faggots would get mad at somebody for getting their dick sucked.
What I also find weird is that they both got sucked off by porkers.

So unless you have a viable contention against minimum age restrictions, what exactly is your fucking problem then? Your implication that it's a "good enough" solution.
"But I never said it was good enough."
Yeah yeah. Whatever.
I'd love to hear your oh-so-wonderful alternatives. Please tell.

Where exactly did you get the impression I did? Your very first post.
Something something "this is why we have age laws".
The implication being that it's a great idea. It's not a great idea--it's a mediocre one. Certainly nothing worth posting about in adulation, but whatever. Apparently you weren't doing that. Okay.

Okay, but that's still not a viable justification to not make it significantly more problematic for 'dumbfuck' teenagers to endeavour in their dumbfuck activities. Again--I'm not arguing against it. Really, I'm just making fun of the fact that you're under the impression that age restrictions, as ineffective as they are, are some great solution. Enough to adulate them in your first post in this thread.
Where exactly did you get the impression I did? Once again, looking too much into other people's posts as usual. The OP is about teenagers simply being teenagers, and his conflation with that of responsible adults. I'm simply illustrating why we have sensible laws in place to make it difficult for these 'dumbfuck' teenagers to engage in egregious behaviour.

Please tell me of the black market alcohol trade since the National Minimum Age Drinking Act was introduced.
It's not just black markets. I shouldn't have to explain how dumbfuck teenagers being dumbfuck teenagers might be somewhat of a problem. There are kids who fucking sneak alcohol from their parents. That's how retarded teenagers are.

I'm saying that age requirements significantly make it more difficult to obtain certain kinds of substances.
And therefore more dangerous, too.
You myopic fuck.

And that's why we have minimum age requirements.
There are more than 2,200 deaths from alcohol poisoning each year in the US, or six per day. Three out of four of each death are men between the ages of 35 and and 64. 38 million US citizens reportedly binge drink.
And this is with a substance that is known to substantially incapacitate and possibly kill a person. If this occurs with a substance that has that kind of reputation, I don't think putting an age limit on pot (AKA muh miracle plant) means diddly-squat in terms of limiting abuse.
So you think Cannabis should be accesible to any age group?
Of course not. People will kill each other anyways, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws against murder. I was responding to the claim that we have minimum age policies to prevent abuse. I'm saying that the notion of minimum age laws preventing abuse is silly. All it does is better restrict usage to a percentage of the population in general. It's aimed at preventing minors from possessing or consuming a substance, not to prevent abusing it.
The most effective way to prevent abuse is to offer education and rehabilitation for drugs. Changing public perspective toward rehab and addiction are also crucial, but aren't really things that government can directly influence.
I never posited the argument that minimum age restrictions curtailed abuse though. I'm saying that age requirements significantly make it more difficult to obtain certain kinds of substances.
