I think it's mainly about ethics are corruption. Also they dislike direct attacks to their group.

Then there is tiny minority of trolls who like to stir up things. And small handful of true misogynist who have gotten the misandrist to hate them and thus the crappy MSM pulled in with lies.

Both?

Free market is good in some sectors, socialism in others. Mix of those is best for most, extreme of either to a few (those who have power).

Re: 84% of Brits think the war on drugs has failed

war on drugs is all about making profit, nothing more.
I would disagree. The war on drugs is to protect people from being manipulated and from becoming addicted to drugs beyond their control. When someone is addicted to drugs they tend to commit more crimes so they can continue to feed their addiction

I would agree on keeping certain drugs off-limits, but the current policy of having two allowed and everything else banned isn't a good one.

Stuff like marijuana, khat maybe LSD, mushrooms and such I don't see point of banning adults from using.

Now heroin, crack, meth and stuff like crocodile yes... No point allowing them outside controlled circumstances.

Re: Eve of 9/11 POTUS says he gonna get dem ISIL good

Now we can get into a pat argument about whether it's about religion, or land, or power. That doesn't particularly matter either. ISIL won't last more than a few years, but there will be another group to follow it. There's no doubt about that. It's one of the common things about people who think they know what is best for you. They just don't stop.

True, maybe once there is a stable government solution is not topple it. People tend not to like getting their families and friends killed. And such people not have much to lose.

Re: Ten adverts using 9/11 disaster

There is nothing sacred about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Many events in history have had more casualties, been more tragic, etc. There is no need to self-censor 9/11 related content.
The victims of 9/11 were basically all innocent and did nothing to the people that killed them. Also a good percentage of the victims died because they were trying to save others' lives.

The other tragedies that are worse then 9/11 are also not commercialized nor should they be just like 9/11 should not be

Were they anymore innocent than people who are murdered in Pakistan now by drone strikes? Or people who died during invasions of Afganistan and Iraq?
These people were not intentionally killed. They were collateral damage. Precautions were taken to try to prevent their deaths but it was not possible to avoid them all. The people who died on 9/11 were specifically targeted as a means to install fear among people in the US. There is a huge difference!

How do you know that there wasn't any enemy combatants killed during the operation? There must have been plenty of men and women(western equality) between ages of 18 and 60(best healthcare in the world).

Sadly no lessons have been learned from 9/11. Same policies that led to it still continue.

Wouldn't less powerfull electric kettle be less efficient than more powerful? With shorter time for heating there is less time for convection and radiation of heat?

Russians aren't insane. They just use their own methods to take things as far as they can. And there probably won't be any real consequence for them in long run.

Key is to understand that Russia isn't about overseas influence just now, but about areas near it. Unlike USA which can't do anything near it's borders.

But surely, you would not want the Crimean Junta to get their greedy hands on expensive museum pieces?!

What next? "Returning" priceless Inca artefacts to some drug lords just because their private army happened to recently take over some South American country? So much gold in the hands of Crimeanals would be risky  Cheesy

I think Egypt is also missing quite a lot of items...
