Liam Neeson Controversy

This will probably hurt his career, and it should

Every single person in this country who doesn't live in a self-sufficient cabin in the woods is culpable for murder, rape, theft on a colossal scale. 

seriously?  you believe that? 

they he says something about not doing something about it.....Trump was elected, he said he'd get us out of other countries and stop the wars etc,

unfortunately the sheeple and lemmings want free stuff, which is never free, and government handouts, they want to government to take care of them.  That's not every single person, that's not me.

"divides its citizenry in order to enrich a tiny, stratospherically wealthy caste of disloyal and amoral 'global citizens'.

this is true.

Do you believe that employees should be treated fairly and have a basic right to safe and humane working conditions?

Please explain.

 do you want to abolish social security?  Do you want to abolish corporate welfare?  Do you want to abolish farm subsidies?

Do you believe that employees should be treated fairly and have a basic right to safe and humane working conditions?

aren't there already laws that provide that?  osha?  labor department etc.

how does that cause "murder, rape" ?  and how many murder and rapes are you responsible for?

Please explain.

his claim that people do nothing to change the [underlying brutal system] situation is wrong, people protest like they did during Vietnam for instance and currently to get the U.S. out of foreign countries/wars Trump was elected (that was one reason anyway)

But instead of doing anything about it, we just look for the tiniest admissions of moral fault to pounce on, maintaining our own veneer of 'respectability' while refusing to criticize a brutal system.

 do you want to abolish social security?  Do you want to abolish corporate welfare?  Do you want to abolish farm subsidies?

trying to ween the government addicts takes a lot of time and effort, just like most addictions, but first they generally have to hit rock bottom.  but yes those "programs" should but phased out and the control should be given over to the individual to run their own lives.

this is true.

So, do you purchase products and services exclusively from manufacturers who follow these rules?

Chanting, "bring our boys home" does absolutely nothing to change the underlying brutal system that causes these types of problems in the first place.

the government shouldn't do anything to assist the disadvantaged.

So, where to stand on abortion again?  I think this is the biggest issue.  And this is where the SJW separates themselves.

I don't think there are any leftists out there that are pro-life, but I do believe there are quite a few out there on the right that are pro-choice, I am one of them.  I think the left adopts the feelings and the mentality of the left because they believe in a woman's right to choose, and anyone else who doesn't is crazy, so everything else they believe must be crazy.  I do think this is the same of the right with some people too, but not as high a percentage... I could be wrong.     

If it came out that Neeson agreed to an abortion back when he was 17, the right would have had his head as well. The pro-choice right would have just kept their mouth shut.

So, do you purchase products and services exclusively from manufacturers who follow these rules?

nope, but I don't have control over what other countries do or don't do.

voting or revolution, take your pick.

...the government shouldn't do anything to assist the disadvantaged.

what are suppose to be "safety nets" are now entitlements, addictions, way of life.

you don't trust charities and wealthy philanthropists to step up and take care of those in needed?

but you trust the government to do so? yeah some are scams, the government is incompetent blah  blah blah but the point stands, people were taken care of before these programs existed. 

The Amish don't typically use any of these services so it can be done.

what happens in other countries, is it the fault of the ones taking advantage and the ones allowing it to happen, I'd say more so one than the other.  Regardless I'm not Mother Teresa and I don't think anyone here can make that claim either.

I wasn't around in (1912–13)

the rich run the world that's how it is and they mostly don't care about anything else, any poor people in the U.S. government?  any considered middle class that have been in for 20+ years?

I do try to buy products where the workers are treated fairly etc whenever possible, I don't by Nike brand for instance. 

If you watch Shark Tank the free market (capitalism) is allowing entrepreneurs to create business based on many things that "give back" to the workers or society.  This is becoming a trend and will continue to grow so long as the government doesn't stop it with regulations and other ways to manipulate the business.

the world is ending in 12 years so wgaf?

do you think the people who work in terrible conditions for low pay would be better off if we didn't buy their products?

(the world ending in 12 years was a joke btw)

term limits #1

tariff and trade all need to be on a level playing field, say what you will about Trump but alt east he's trying to do something compared to the nothing that has been done.

here's the thing it's not the responsibility of the U.S. to save the world, other countries tax the fk out of imports basically forcing it's citizens to buy their own good

how would buying products from Venezuela help their workers or are their workers paid and treated adequately?  How about Mexico?

term limits for congress, all elected positions

I was quoting AOC aka Nostradumbass

how would buying products from Venezuela help their workers or are their workers paid and treated adequately?  How about Mexico?

I guess what I'm asking is given the government structure of these countries I don't see a realist way consumers can have a positive net effect.  It's a catch 22, those people would be worse off w/o the crappy wages and jobs.  Are there actual businesses in these countries that are better in any appreciable way?  Since there are poor in every country, the U.S. citizens should only buy U.S. products until everyone isn't poor.
