The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Yeah, the war on terror has been fantastic for America. A real accomplishment of wisdom and enlightenment. And it's been great with all the amazing tech you developed from it. I love drone strikes, so kawaii.

I think it's always best if a country just randomly invades a country a dozen times smaller and less advanced that them AT LEAST once every twenty years. Otherwise you just become Canada or Sweden or something. Maybe Denmark if you're lucky.

That traitor, tho.

Very generic and ignorant. Besides, there's no such thing as "no war". There's always a war, whether it's now or 6 months from now.

Yes healthy morality is generic, I agree. Believing in the sanctity of life is so cliche. But you're so right, remember all those wars Switzerland gets into every 6 months? What a bunch of b*stards.

Uh, we're killing hundreds of terrorists without so much as a fraction of casualties on our side so yea, it's working ok. The only problem is our country is only half committed. Either go all in or don't go at all. There are too many terrorists out there to be indifferent about. And also nobody wants to be speaking french, ever.

Cool, and the hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in Iraq and Afganistan are totally acceptable loses compared to a few hundred terrorists dead. Those seem like comparable figures to me!

Plus, it's not as if the wars have had ANY negative consequences for America and the rest of the world AT ALL. What even is a recession??? Debt? Sounds like a pussy word to me.

Please explain what you perceive to be "healthy morality". If it's extreme naivete which you seem to possess a lot of, then you and I will just agree to disagree. Sanctity of life? LOL. Switzerland? Here's 3 LOL LOL LOLs to name a country without any sort of context. I won't even point out the absurdity in your thought process or the exception to the rule. But you seem to have a first grader's understanding about the real world. I bet you think John Lennon's "imagine" made a lick of sense?

Agreeing with psmith makes me feel dirty.

Believing that peace is preferable to war. But yeah, I agree that it's naive. Afterall, neither you nor I have actually fought in any wars so I can't truly say whether one is better. Maybe killing people is actually super awesome and I'm just being close-minded to the possibilities.

And the obvious context was that you said theres no such thing as no war so I sarcastically named a country famous for not going to war for a very long time.

Also I only really listen to music about video games because I'm a cool person. Isn't imagine that song that's like incredibly successful and beloved by everyone though?

"Ahoska has a ton to offer, of course. She is, to be honest, far better-trained than Kanan. She is a better lightsaber fighter than Kanan. There’s no doubt. She had a better teacher than Kanan, who was more fight combat-oriented than Anakin. So, she definitely could, if she wanted to, give Ezra a great deal of knowledge. But I would think that she’s very reluctant to do so because Ezra’s not her student. He’s Kanan’s student, and also Kanan is training Ezra on the path of the Jedi. And I think the important thing to wonder about, with Ahsoka is, when you get down to it, is knowing where she last was leaving the Order. There should be a lot of questions around, “Well, does that mean Ahsoka’s a Jedi now, or not?” What does that mean? Would she follow, per se, the path of the Jedi as laid out by the Order of the Jedi Knights? Or, is there some other teaching and learning in the ways of the Force that she is now following that’s different?" -- Dave Filoni

What does a "fully committed" America look like in your eyes, and if Obama's actions in dealing with ISIS and Iran is wrong, weak whatever, what would be the "proper" actions to take?

Then what are you complaining about? "Killing hundreds of terrorists" isn't enough action for you?

There is a phenomenon I've noticed among conservative foreign policy, which is to slam Obama's foreign policy decision on the problems in the Middle East while failing utterly to present any concrete alternatives

This is possibly the only thing that could have made me want to watch Rebels

The whole interview itself or the Ahsoka part?

Hey guys try to translate this :
J'en conclus que vous n'avez que faire de tout ce que je vous ai donné.
And no.. Google translate won't save your ass !!!

Hillary's running. This is going to be a fun election.

The Republicans will win, then torment the country for 8 years.. Then the Democrats will do the same. The cycle won't stop until our robot overlords overthrow us or there's an alien invasion.

Maybe someone will vote for a third party?

Usually third parties get like 1 or 2% of the vote in elections.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that Obama is more concerned with establishing a relationship with a dictator than maintaining a relationship with his biggest ally? Hmmm
