Sure. Except usually, when we sell weapons to various countries, we don't give them money to buy the weapons first. Either way, I find it quite problematic that my country sees fit to spend taxpayer money to arm the world.
It's a mixture of all. I mean, if I wanted to donate to money AIPAC right now I could. I suspect there are many Jewish people and Christians in America who donate simply because they belief that Israel needs help, etc etc... By, yeah, it's a lobby. It's primary function is to get policies...
I didn't assume that Israel is preventing a two-state solution, I just don't think that the fact that such an arrangement has been reached yet gives Israel the right to just take more land. The only thing I expect of Israel, atm, is curb further expansion into contested lands in the interim and...
Well distributed non-military AID I suspect could go a long way. In my experience, most people who have three meals a day, an access to shelter and education, and a way to work, don't want to give that up to go die in a war over idealism, and religious idealism on top of that. Obviously not...
Oh, I suspect you'd have a hard time finding who exactly contributes to AIPAC, but obviously, I suspect it to be any different from any American lobby, in that the people who contribute to it are expecting to see results in their favor, which would obviously financial incentives.
That being...
Um, at the expense of the taxpayer? If I'm going to pay Americans to do work with tax money, why would I hope I get the opportunity to spend my tax payer money to help manufacturer firearms and war planes for a different country involved in a conflict that affects me in no way whatsoever, as...
I don't disagree, but to pretend like paying tax payer money to Israel, who will then spend the money on American goods (which is only true for a portion of the aid), the money of which is given to manufacturers, and not tax payers, is somehow a good deal for me, when I have no vested interested...
If I give Stan $100,000 dollars, and he buys $100,000 goods from me, all I've achieved is losing $100,000 in goods. We mine as well just give Israel free weapons... So yeah, it's no less screwing us than if we were giving free money... Except the tax payer gives the money to Israel, and arms...
Quite simply, American hegemony has an obvious interest in the preservation of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
Don't worry, they'll all be losing it soon enough.
WHY IS GOOGLE TRYING TO FORCE ISLAM ONTO ME?!
WHY IS GOOGLE TRYING TO FORCE A TWO-STATE SOLUTION ON ME?!
WHY IS GOOGLE TRYING TO FORCE ME TO READ PERSIAN POETRY?!
WHAT, NOW I HAVE TO CELEBRATE PAKISTANI INDEPENDENCE TOO?!
Google isn't forcing evolution on to anyone. It's Google's website. You go to on your own will. As far as I can tell, you aren't required to check off "I believe evolution is true" in order to use the service?
So in what regard has anything been forced upon you?
Why can't you be as organized as your superior atheists? It's their sort of organizational skills it requires to... set up a talk and Q&A with an author at a theater...
It never did, is the answer.
"The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the Universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution.[1][2][3] The model accounts for the fact that the Universe expanded from a very high density and high temperature...
