All I'm saying is it's not as ridiculous a mistaken belief as you're making it out to be. Also the US asked for right of first purchase from Keystone XL and was denied so we'll have to pay the same as everyone else.

JaggerMcDagger posted:Time to "Settle" Let's provide some context for this cartoon. Yesterday, two Palestinian activists attacked a synagogue in Jerusalem - reputedly in response to the suspected murder of a Palestinian bus driver earlier in the week - and killed four rabbis before being themselves killed by the police. To this, Benjamin Netenyahu promised "a harsh response". Now, in case you missed it: the perpetrators were apprehended and killed at the scene. Bibi has therefore openly declared his intent to take revenge on innocent people, and Kirschen is cheerleading it. Whoever said this was close to a pro-genocide cartoon was incorrect. It's absolutely a pro-genocide cartoon.

A missing detail in this is that Hamas praised the attack, but this is only a useful detail in that it clarifies that Netanyahu cannot distinguish between the phrases "Hamas praised" and "Hamas directly ordered", or indeed the word "Hamas" and the phrase "anyone we can find"

Israel openly practices a North-Korean style "punish the family" policy when it comes to crimes commited by Palestinians, crimes suspected to be commited by Palestinians, or crimes commited against Palestinians.

I don't know if this reference to a cartoon titled "Join or Die" is the best metaphor for this situation... zoux posted:He's making a bad analogy but the knowledge that net neutrality prevents the creation of inequal services on the internet at all is a step above Ted Cruz's "NN is the opposite of what I think it is".

Xander77 posted:I get that As I understand it the main purpose of the pipeline is so Canada can sell more oil to places that aren't the U.S., using American territory which would then be under risk from oil leaks, in exchange for the bribing of several prominent U.S. officials and the creation of 35 (count 'em, 35) permanent American jobs. There's really no upside for any American who isn't a congressman or one of those 35 people. But yeah, the pipeline won't make us any more dependent on oil because none of it will be going to us. Unless I have no idea what I'm talking about which is also a possibility.

I'm not particularly pro pipeline, but Sack's point isn't dumb. Oil trains have been filling the void of the pipeline and they're very unregulated and dangerous.
