You know, I remember a certain reality TV star loud-mouthing off about the sitting President, calling him a liar and making up quiet nasty stories about him.
Not only did the President just mostly ignore this (except when he provided some proof that shut the liar up for a while) but he ended up with the liar admitting the lies weren't true.
Now of course, the (serial) liar is up to his neck in FBI investigations.
Come now, at least anti-abortionists have the core of a valid viewpoint, that is all human life is sacred and no-one should be killed. The fact that they then ruin this with the rampant hypocrisy of fighting against sex education or social programs that might help 'unplanned' children to have a decent quality of life, and follow it up by fetishising instruments of murder is the joke. The fact that they ignore the actual well-being of the mother over the hypothetical well-being of her parasite just adds to that.
Creationists just employ the same shrill deluded lack-of-facts that we see here from Shiva's Trumpkins.

Looks like the "leftists" are finally learning to live down to your "Second Amendment solutions" and using their easy access to weapons of mass murder to attempt to use them as designed. If only at least one side of the partisan divide weren't so gun happy but wanted stringent gun controls! If only at least one side of the partisan divide didn't want every crazy, criminal, and terrorist to have their 'Constitutionally mandated' access to firearms!
It's a shame people had to get hurt in the crossfire of ideas. Good thing none of them were inveterate NRA supporters or the irony would be palpable. Almost like the irony of voting away people's healthcare then needing your own government-handout healthcare to save your life...
I might point out that both Wendy and PaulT are both Brits, and in case you hadn't noticed, we don't talk like you lot. So there will be different language uses, including our levels of f***ing profanity. And thus how we talk may be similar.
Secondly, I can easily see a difference in PaulT and Wendy's posts (if only that I tend to agree with 99% of PaulT's but maybe only 90% of Wendy's) and in the circumstances they discuss: Wendy as a UK-based Brit, PaulT as on the Iberian Peninsula.

Not really. They are free to compete on price and customer service. Also, depending on the contracts, they may have a smaller or larger slice of that copper wire. Regardless, it will tend to being a better service than one with only 1 or 2 operators.
BTW, this is how competition works in a lot of Europe too.
Except that the "lunatic fringe of the left" isn't nearly as bad because a) it's nowhere near as big, b) nowhere near as noisy, and c) not even remotely close to power.
And by the way, this is assuming that your "lunatic fringe of the left" doesn't refer to people to the left of say, Piers Morgan (a rather right-wing European) but to the "being male is to be a rapist" crowd.
Most citizens have no control over what their government does to foreign actors. Yet you want them to not care about someone interfering in their election (which incidentally affects the whole world) just because the US *might* be doing the same thing? (Citation needed too.)
Even if the US government is interfering in other elections (and usually it's a bit more blatant) there is no reason it shouldn't try to minimise damage to its own.
That's a bit like telling the US that as long as they 'apparently' 'threaten' other countries they are not allowed to defend their own.
Funny how anything happening under Clinton or Obama is the end of the world, whilst Presidents Reagan (Iran-Contra), Bush 2 (Iraq war for non-existent WMD) or Trump (too many to count) get a free pass?
You sound like one of those terrible "my country, right or wrong" types.
It is perfectly possible to love your country, yet critique how (parts of) it handles stuff. You can support those of your fellow citizens worthy of respect while roasting those who aren't. You can hold those who claim higher powers and responsibilities to account, to make sure the live up to them and don't abuse them without "hating" or "disrespecting" your country/police/politicians/social structures...
I can tell you that our government is being pretty xenophobic at the moment. If the whole Brexit debate had been framed in purer "we love our own rules, not other people's" terms then that would have been one thing, but instead there is the whole "stop the rivers of darkies" stance that UKIP pushed and the Tories embraced. And despite the Tory pledges to "stop Johnny Foreigner from sullying our shores, women and jobs" they've neither slowed down immigration nor dealt with the actual need for it. In fact, it's only their blatant anti-Europeanism which seems to be blunting levels at all, along with destroying the economy.

In fact, all the stuff they illegally stole was returned to the rightful owners. Israel could learn a lesson or two.
Besides, didn't they lose their entire country to the Romans 1900 years ago - did they manage to win it back themselves?
