ITT: Defend an unpopular aspect of your country (something foreigners hate, make fun of, or think is backwards)
I support the drinking age being 21. The latest neurology/endocrinology research shows alcohol has more impacts on developing brains than previously realized, and beer is packed with estrogen which can hurt puberty.
Also because normie chads are the ones that would benefit the most from a lower drinking age and I love the thought of their fun being ruined by cops
Mandatory vaccinations: Some people cry that this hurts their precious freedumbs ;_; but I think that sometimes you shouldn't be able to make a stupid choice.
Herd immunity is a thing, so it doesn't concern just your child. Outbreaks occur when vaccination rate falls below a certain limit.
Communists were right here.

You are right. Alcohol is very harmfull for a developing brain. It is therefore vital that we serve alcoholic beverages in small portions with plenty of foam.

Seppos are the toughest cunts when it comes to banter though, because we survive the strongest and most frequent bullying. It's like comparing being constantly hit with machinegun fire and missiles to occasionally being hit with a BB pellet. People write enraged 6-page essays full of death threats and angst while Australia gets a monthly joke about large fauna or a joke about the rugby team

Mass shootings aren't caused by the 2nd Amendment, they're caused when Obama and George Soros provoke Mudslimes and black militants to go and shoot things up.

Use of corn syrup in everything. This happens because we have a lot of corn but not much sugarcane. Cuba had once been our main source, but we lost it after the Cuban Revolution.
Asher Moore
No, we lost it the moment we chose not to annex it after the Spanish-American war, which was a mistake.
Noah Gonzalez
Then why there be a 200% increase in shootings since 2009? I don't remember this happening under Bush except for Virginia Tech and the DC snipers in 2001 which turned out to be Muslims anyway.

Americans endure high-explosive, poisoned, armour-piercing banter in rapid fire 24/7. Other people endure tiny darts of half-serious banter. The only other who deal with as much are Israelis/Jews. We're like the MBT's of the world trying to endure Javelin missiles. The average """banter"""" against Aussies is at worst like "haha there scary spiders there, bogan!" and they think they're tough as nails for shrugging it off lmao

Hello Straw
Your logic of "we didn't want to look like the bad guys" is retarded. We annexed about 10 territories after we beat Spain.
Also, what was Central America? We invaded like 8 countries to be our banana republics. It's far better to not have to worry about Cuba's 8 million hispanics (at the time). Finally, Cuba was an expensive producer because of its extensively rebellious population.

It's the question of a crossed threshold. These shootings have steadily become commonplace to the point in which they are now a grudgingly, but casually accepted practice within our culture. They happen because the floodgate's open, and everyone who feels rejected or disgruntled may purchase a firearm and leave a lasting, tallied legacy in a dysfunctional social fabric.
Camden Lewis
The French sold us the Louisiana Territory because Napoleon needed munniez and the Mexican War was also controversial for same reason--a lot of people objected to it. Colonialism was a politically sensitive issue in those days and Americans generally had the idea that we shouldn't be like Europe.
>These shootings have steadily become commonplace to the point in which they are now a grudgingly, but casually accepted practice within our culture Just as Obama and Soros want it to be so they can justify terminating the 2nd Amendment or promoting race hate.

I think Americans have the right to be fat. Food is an important part of our economy and fat people bring in lots of monies. It also helps the medical field in research and fundings. Being fat is a symbol of our immense wealth and overall freedom to do whatever the fuck we want
Justin King
Yes we did occupy the island after expelling the Spanish but it had been made clear from the beginning that we weren't going to annex it.
Jace Harris
We were invading the region and fighting French forces all over. The treaty simply acknowledged the change in sovereignty.
Adam Evans
I suppose you didn't annex Cuba because it was full of cubans, the other lands were sparsely populated. It's one thing to acquire empty space and another to become responsible over ruling a lot of unruly people.
Jose Young
Religion should not be separated from the state and moralism should be enforced.

Cameron Smith
You're failing to present a point here. Do you not believe that steps are taken to avoid mass shootings within the parameters of existing law? What is the Obama administration doing which is covertly responsible for the significant spike in mass shootings?
Isaiah Hall
And the reasons we didn't annex it was not "hurdur we don't want to look like colonialists".
It was because we knew it would be far more expensive to control the population. Spain was in a war with Cubans before we conquered it.
The Republicans didn't want an 8 million population of spics with the chance of joining America.
Daniel James
We annexed the Philippines and Puerto Rico and those weren't exactly empty wilderness either. As for unruly people, we fought a quite brutal war for several years to suppress Filipino resistance.
Josiah Miller
>they're caused when Obama and George Soros provoke Mudslimes and black militants to go and shoot things up.
Sandy Hook, charelston, sikh temple, aurora, gabby giffords shooting, columbine etc. Although shootings have gotten more multicultural recently whites are still the kings of it. Easy access to powerful weaponry makes shootings more likely, because most angsty outcasts who want to shoot places up don't have underworld connections in successful gun control countries like Australia
Nobody is taking your guns though as overriding the 2nd is illegal, but it's still a fact of life. Switzerland also has an abnormally high per-capita amount of mass shootings (but not high crime)
During this war our militias began annexing the region we would eventually purchase.
Adam Davis
I did. There's been a serious uptick in mass shootings since 09 and it seems to almost entirely involve some leftist nutcase, black person, or Muslim. I don't see any churchgoing white Christians doing this stuff, do you?
Hudson Thompson
Maybe because Puerto Rico is smaller?
At some point when they were being driven out by mayas, Yucatán petitioned to the US congress to be anexed and they told them to fuck off. The "unruly people" argument was used.
I didn't know about the Phillipines, why would you do that? Seems too much of a hassle.
Hunter Reed
Napoleon sold it precisely because he knew we'd just take it by conquest otherwise. The same reason why Russia sold Alaska, it would have had no defense against the British who would just waltz in and grab it.
Jaxson King
The Quasi War was a couple of naval clashes with the French. Otherwise Louisiana was essentially an empty wilderness outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and Napoleon needed money for his wars more than he did a remote territory that US settlers would have in time overrun anyway.
Jayden Rodriguez
>Dylann Roof
Isaiah Nelson
>I didn't know about the Phillipines, why would you do that? Seems too much of a hassle
I think it was because we wanted a naval base in the Pacific. In any case, it had been promised from the beginning that this was temporary and Filipino independence would be restored (which it was after WWII).
Hudson King
I can't think of anything
Ian White
No respect for human rights.
Means real justice can be made, the police here are kinda allowed to kill dangerous reoffenders, if you have a gun and someone tries to rob you can shoot them on the spot and the police won't care too. It also applies to other specific cases i.e if some weirdo rapes your infant daughter there is an unwritten rule that you allowed to take this person's life

Caleb Thompson
Sounds like another white trash teen like the Columbine guys. Now the funny thing about that was that the black community in Charleston were all holding hands and praying instead of rioting like they did in Baltimore...and of course it's also worth noting that South Carolina is a Republican-controlled state, not a Democ-rat controlled one like Maryland. That does seem to make a notable difference.
But all the same, aside from this one white trash meth head, most of these shootings involve Mudslimes.
Tyler Garcia
Well, to name two significant ones in the last seven years which have been perpetrated by "Churchgoing white Christians", we have the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado, the shooting at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin. Actually, beyond that, there's the Accent Signage Systems shooting in Minneapolis, perpetrated by an alumni of Academy of Holy Angels.
Sebastian Price
>Adam Lanza Another worthless spawn of a single mom.
Tyler Hughes
>(something foreigners hate, make fun of, or think is backwards) I think las islas malvinas son argentinas. They are ours because we took it from the spaniards, along the rest of the country. The current inhabitants are occupiers, but they will be allowed to stay if they accept Argentinian sovereignty.
Asher Torres
>Well, to name two significant ones in the last seven years which have been perpetrated by "Churchgoing white Christians", we have the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Funny you should mention that because when that incident happened (another white trash meth head from the looks of it), there was a huge butthurt outcry from feminist groups and other SJW-related brickabrack. It was also condemned by the White House even, but this was the same White House that called the Ft. Hood shooting "workplace violence" and also refused to acknowledge that the Orlando shooter was a Mudslime.
Jacob Wilson

Nothing it wrong with clapping when your plane lands. The pilot navigated a metal tube through the sky and brought us safely to the ground. I feel proud that this is an American tradition.
I don't believe that acknowledging that Mateen was a Muslim is a huge factor. Potentially a schism between his own sense of faith and his repressed sexuality, but I sincerely believe that his act was motivated for the most part by a non-religious disdain for gay people in America.
