And that's why we have minimum age requirements.

Because kids and teens don't drink and smoke anyway right?
Never said that. Age restrictions makes illicit substances more difficult to obtain though.

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?

Sounds like college students. I don't think this observation is really limited to teens.

I don't see the problem. He made a very clear distinction between theocratic Muslims and secular Muslims, which I think most would agree that the former is utterly unelectable.

Any theocratic candidate should be unelectable - no matter the religion.
Agreed, but if we're talking proportionality here, a Christian theocrat is morally preferable to a Muslim theocrat.

That's still like saying Stalin is preferable to Zedong.
Well his kill count was less tbh.

One religion's kill count was less than the other.
Are you genuinely implying Christianity has a higher kill count?
I figured Christianity would have a higher kill count in history times given the longer it's been around, the Crusades with all the raping and pillaging, etc, and other shit.
The largely Sunni Ottoman Empire is reckoned to have slaughtered at least 2 million Armenians during its renown genocide. Not to mention the Gulf War in which Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist act of aggression, invaded Muslim Iran with a resulting (some estimates say) death of 2 million people, racking up the death toll to a cosy 4 million altogether, which is just two of the various different acts of barbarism influenced by Islamic scripture.

The Crusades death toll comes in at about 2 million, and that's its highest estimate.

The same happened with Skyrim back in 2011 IIRC. There was only two trailers and a 15 minute gameplay demo leading up to its release.

Now, whether or not you think Skyrim is good, you can't fault the game for its quantity, even if it lacked in quality.

So to answer the OP, I think they are indeed just trying to keep everything suspenseful. We may or may not see more content the closer we get to release.

Haven't the Tories been making astronomically larger cuts on defense than Labour ever has?

Idk, just seems a bit juvenile to consider 'mutineering' at this point.

Same thing happens in the US. Some military official doesn't like who the darn dirty civvies elected as president so they threaten to go AWOL.

It's really just a grown mans temper tantrum and nothing will actually happen.
While I agree this is a pretty infantile response, Corbyn's populist rhetoric is definitely something to take caveat over.

The guy described members of Hezbollah as 'friends' and thinks we can operate as a sovereign nation with a completely castrated military for fuck sake.

I didn't say which religion is higher, that's for you to decide (And to be honest, I don't really care).
Hey man, you're the one who pigeonholed himself into a corner with a factually inaccurate implication, not me.

Mentally retarded people and people who are born with diseases that literally incapacitate every facet of their life should be euthanised. It's just morally wrong for them to be kept 'alive' at this point, not to mention the resources they drain.

'Poverty' is just a cop out card that people use to circumvent other people's irresponsibility. I don't deny it's effects on behaviour, but using it to excuse literally everything is just irritating. This is particularly prevalent within the black community.

Women should not be in the infantry.

There shouldn't be a minimum wage.

Israel should just buck up and nuke Palestine seeing as how the latter utterly refuse to consolidate any kind of peace terms.

Whether you consider yourself a feminist is irrelevant. If you're a feminist, you're a feminist.

There are lots of people who don't believe in god, but don't identify as atheists.
But they're still atheists.
2bh I'm getting sick of this identity politics fiasco.

If you're for equality then you're for equality. Whatever bullshit label you identify as is irrelevant, but I think most people are getting pretty tired of the authoritarian narrative third wave feminism is constantly shoving down our throats, hence the result of the poll.

But an overwhelming majority (78%) believe in equality between the genders, and 85% believe in equality for women.
