Look at these tweets during Obamas speech from the sandy hook memorial service today. I'm appealed.

lol wtf is that list

To reach their national estimates, researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine used World Health Organization data from 2005.

Heaviest 10 (for nations with more than 100,000 people):

1. United States

2. Kuwait

3. Croatia

4. Qatar

5. Egypt

6. United Arab Emirates

7. Trinidad and Tobago

8. Argentina

9. Greece

10. Bahrain


maybe you're list has country with less than 100k people but seriously does that really count as a country?

...and again, nobody fucking cares except non-Americans. You use "our" weight as some sort of generic insult and you think it offends everyone when, in actuality, it really doesn't at all. It just shows how fucking stupid you are. I'm assuming you probably don't think you're a pussy, right?

WRONG. You're French.

What? Not all French people are pussies?


WRONG.


Ohhh stereotypes.

Why is it so bad for people to not give a fuck about listening to one more opinion on the shooting,  i'm sure everyone heard about it for 40 hours straight by that point. People who are distant from any tragedy aren't going to care any more than "oh that's terrible" and they'll move right along.
you did exactly that, you hypocrites.

I'm not using it as an insult, I'm using it as an argument against OPs one.

and stop trying so hard about the french thingy because I aint french, the fact that I can speak french doesn't make me french. If you still think that I'm french then you are theoretically an English.

well the famine was part of the old and the new system, the economic disarray that was taking place after the overthrow of the tsarist regime had definitely to do with it.

The great terror, the purges and the Gulag camps were definitely part of the state, only a revisionist would be dumb enough to deny that.

And I still want to oppose what you say about the good standard of living. All the eye witness reports I've read in my life and heard (from my mom's friends relatives) say the exact opposite: a sad and gloomy life, people smuggling western commodities into the country when visiting family. My mom's friend's relatives living in Russia didnt for example believe her when she told them about her life in Sweden and showed them pictures of her apartment.

Sure there are always two sides to one story, but by glorifying life in the USSR would be to spit in the faces of all the millions who disappeared, were silenced and killed.
I'm also intrigued by the members who live in former USSR satellite states who posted here, would be cool to hear your story as well.

And haha, no, that would be amazing (if I could read Russian), but I've been in the Swedish National Archive, going through letters and documents from Red Cross Officials, russo swedes and the Swedish king.

Obama's speech was heavily politicized. It would have been better if he just didn't say anything.

And if he didn't say anything people would assume he didn't care (most likely Fox news). Saying it was heavily politicized means nothing. There was nothing political about his speech. What kind of president wouldn't address such a tragedy?

Ahh I recognize you again, you're the idiot spouting off about gun control the other day saying how there is no way in hell anyone is taking any of your 6 guns away from you. Everyday your posts get stupider and stupider.


You are so stereotypically american it hurts.

Except all of it.

The whole speech served no purpose but to make people more angry which, in turn, would help him force stricter gun controls laws through Congress. When most people see a tragedy, their first instinct is to feel shock and disgust. Not Obama, though; his first instinct is to find a way to capitalize on it. If he had said nothing, at least there would be doubt about whether or not he cares. His speech just proved that he doesn't care. And why should he? He has no personal connection to these people. People die everyday; you can't expect him to be broken up about every one.

No, I'm referring to the clusterfuck called the USSR. I'm confused, are you really trying to argue that the Soviet Union between 1921 and 1991 was a better place to live than the United States today? Are you trying to argue that Stalin was a better leader? please clarify.

Then let's then have the discussion of where the poverity level should be set.  I'm sure if you're setting the number then we'll have a fuck ton more than 50 mil. 

If you're asking the majority of Africans I bet the number will be fractional compared tot he original number.

Hate on America all you want but I think it's a pretty fantastic place to live, the skiing is great!  We undoubtedly have highest standard of living of any large developed country.

This is honestly embarrassing. A tragedy has just occurred. 26 Americans are never going to see another day, 20 of which had not even had a chance to begin their lives. I wish that the people who tweeted this would be more sympathetic. The last thing that should matter at this time is football. When 20 children at the age of 6, and 6 brave adults die in a mass tragedy, everyone should come together and be one, not do this. I find it so disturbing that anyone is capable of portraying these types of acts, and I find it disturbing that people are so ignorant to the issue. As a student entering college next year, this really makes me question whether I even want to be an American after graduating.

If it were campaign season one could argue his intentions. But there's no agenda here. People just like to hop on the hate band wagon and usually don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
