Parent comment expresses incredulity at Obama's comment on the topic being discussed in the thread. I point out said comment is perfectly in line with the policies implemented by O…

Feel free to share your sources establishing the shooters of both the Paris Hebdo and Bataclan attacks received external support. What about Columbine (multiple shooters, conspired…

Right, because if some crazy asshole shoots people randomly it's a mass shooting but if he happens to be muslim it's terrorism. Sorry, keep forgetting about that memo.

France may have more guns per inhabitants but it's mostly hunting rifles/sports gun. Swiss gun laws are definitely not as strict as France's. Look it up.

Then on the other hand we have: Exhibit A) Switzerland, 25 guns for 100 inhabitants, two mass shootings in the last 100 years Exhibit B) France, extremely restrictive gun laws, two…

I know right? It's almost as if the purpose of this whole farce wasn't actually to save lives and to protect our freedoms (for which they hate us). Wow, who'd have guessed...

"Don't underestimate the role of a crappy jobs and bad bosses" This a 1000 times. As someone who's done his fair share of shit jobs before working in the relative comfort of the "t…

You do realize the American public is probably (a tiny bit) more sheltered from the abuses of NSA/CIA/(insert your favorite alphabet agency) surveillance that non US citizens, righ…

First they came for the nazis... Speaking of oppressing muslims, for a government that fully supports the ethnic cleansing policy implemented by the Likud (which let's face it, mak…

As the second part of my comment pointed out, I see this being used to also outlaw parties becoming too overtly anti-EU (which in case you didnt notice, is conveniently conflated w…

On the plus side, it sets a nice precedent for governments to ban any party whose opinions they don't like. It's entirely unlikely that the anti-EU sentiment that fuels the rise of…
