There is no proof that the Syrian government has used the chemical weapons. There is abundant evidence the rebels have access to sarin gas. Turkey intercepted people smuggling it in for the rebels back in may.

"The police raids were carried out in Turkey's largest city Istanbul as well as in the southern provinces of Mersin, Adana and Hatay near the Syrian border, said Adana governor Huseyin Avni Cos.
Cos said unknown chemical materials were found during the raids and sent away for investigation."
"Earlier, several Turkish newspapers had reported that 12 people from Syria's al Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front who allegedly had been planning an attack inside Turkey and were in possession of 2 kg (4.5 pounds) of sarin, had been detained in Adana."
"Experts have long said Nusra is receiving support from al Qaeda-linked militants in neighboring Iraq. The group claimed responsibility for deadly bombings in Damascus and Aleppo, and its fighters have joined other Syrian rebel brigades."
The government lacks the motives to use them. The Syrian government using gas when it is winning the war when it knows it would probably bring in a USA intervention. The Rebels have chemical weapons and the motives to use them. The rebels are not the same people who protested when it started. The protests were high jacked by AL-qeada and other affiliated groups and became this current situation. There is a reason why initially a lot of Christian groups in Syria were neutral and more and more are siding with the Assad government.
The USA is not pro-democracy it does whatever advances its interests see the long list of democratic countries who we toppled and put dictators up. "The West likes to support people who will be democratic and follow international laws." This is funny considering the amount of international resolutions banning specific types of weapons the United States has refused to sign. The west uses what ever excuse it can to advance its interests. Claiming a group is breaking international law is an excuse to advance our interests nothing more
" ALSO, ALL THE TORTURE AND REPRESSION BY ASSAD MAKES THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT VERY UNPOPULAR IN THE WEST."
No the lack of supporting western imperialists interests are what makes Assad unpopular. He wants to retake Golan heights that is currently being occupied by Israel and is currently having its oil reserves exploited by Israel.
This has not been some international mission to help the poor people of Syria. This is purely an attempt by the USA to remove an obstacle in the region.

I'm over here in Mississippi where we decriminalized weed ages ago and have had the most AfricanAmerican officials in the US despite being called racists and religious nutcases who are stuck in the 19th century.Posted in: Politics, Philosophy, News and Science
FYI The Confederacy was made was made up of mostly Democrats and The Union were mostly Republican. Also Abe was the guy who ended slavery and was a Republican. Just so I can brush you up on facts. We were able to get rid of all segregational laws within 30 years while struggling for Republican control. -

FireroseNekowolf posted a message on ProstitutionWith another prostitution scandal coming to light, I'll be blunt.Posted in: Politics, Philosophy, News and Science
Prostitution should be legal and treated like any other service industry. Why shouldn't it be? It could offer protections or insurances that are otherwise unavailable due to their illegal status. It could be taxed and regulated. And it could keep them safe from those who would do harm by keeping them off the street.
It's basically like porn that's physical and interactive. -

Metzgermeister posted a message on womens rights in americaAbortion debate, here we come!Posted in: Politics, Philosophy, News and Science
There are times when and when NOT to have an abortion. Abortion should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, or the mother's life being threatened. I do not see any other valid excuse for abortion. If you're screwing around without protection, then you need to be held accountable and suffer the consequences. If the woman is going to be a terrible mother, we already have methods of dealing with that. -

Women are not treated equally in the US. Considering they do not seem to have to right over there own body.
on another note, the draft is something which is not enforced in most countries.
Killling your own baby =/= the right over your own body. In before fetuses aren't human beings. -

Vonderhaar_Swagolics_YOLO posted a message on Anti-CapitalismYoung people today glorify Communism. They don't know what it really is. My wife is from there. I travelled there extensively both before the Soviet Union Collapsed and afterwards. And the America we live in now, celebrates the loudest, the most outrageous, vulgar, banal and cruel and elevates it to the level of ART or Talent- We have become so dumbed down and self-indulging in our arrogance to show how open minded we are.Posted in: Politics, Philosophy, News and Science
Young people are marinated with atheism, hatred for people of faith, a narcissistic view of the world and themselves. Communism to them is like the Newest Fad, a "Jordan Sneeker" or the "Latest I-Pad-" do they know that there are still countries in the world that Brandish that Symbol whom to this day, round up Christians,
and publically tie them up and run steam rollers over their heads and LAUGH as their skulls pop? Yes! North Korea. And they don a UNIFORM of the Bolsheviks. Oh, now the Russians like Lincoln Navigators--they passed through the 1990's Mercedes stage--It's now all about MATERIALISM and Capitalism-but underneath is still a Slave Labor Force that in their case the State runs it--
These kids are expressing an Artistic Period? Well, ask My wife if she thinks the Sickle and Hammer is a symbol of "Freedom for the Worker-" Her father Believed in that system. Worked the Railroads in Belarus for 45 years, and you can still see the grease under his fingernails--He's 85 now, and receives a pension of just over $100 per month. And lives in the subsidy of his two daughters whom now live abroad. And their medical care--a Cat, Rabbit or a Dog receives better care than they do by veterinarians here.
I would LOVE for one of these young "students" to NOT to visit one of those countries--but to "get in trouble" in one of those countries--Oh, God how I Would love to hear them Shout, "Mommy, Mommy come and help me--" They won't be shouting, "Che' Che' Where are you, Che'?"

And with all of the above being said...how do you plan to conquer the perpetually and exponentially growing national debt and unfunded liabilities? What's the plan when the dollar is no longer sought after by productive nations and the Fed becomes the true last lender of resort? What good is it to legally smoke a joint (which I have nothing against, it shouldn’t even be a Federal issue) when your monetary system is broke? This post clearly demonstrates how irresponsible and naive our priorities are and that the illusion of America being a socially evolved, sophisticated, and financial secure nation remains (in fact we’ve been slowly devolving and unwinding the progress early America has made since the early 20th century). The math and the data doesn’t add up. Talk about a Brave New World.

A feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.
Of course it should go without saying that you can discount the fake rich people that have earned their wealth through legalized plundering (aka government, read: bailouts).

Ladies and gentlemen this is where you call a spade a spade. Mandated healthcare is mandated healthcare no matter who's name you throw in as a prefix.
In addition the AHA won by a swing vote by...wait for it...wait for it... Chief Justice John Roberts. A so called "conservative".
But I thought the left hated the right and the right hated the left and the up hated the down and the down hated the ups and the snozberrys tasted like snozberrys? The two headed one party system is working as intended. I thought the left never saw from a million miles Bushy supporting Medicare part D and I thought the right never could have predicted Obombya's procrastination of the war in the east. Hell, he even let bushy boy's SOFA expire since he couldn't come to terms with the Iraqi government to extend our stay. I think the real issue with today's politics is the "left" and "right" are starting to run out arguments to fight over to prove even the slightest hint of partisan politics.

I can help, but what router are you using(brand)? Also, press Windows+R to open up the 'run' command. Type in cmd, click OK. From here type in ipconfig, scroll around (if needed) until you see 'default gateway'. Write that number down and type it into your browser's address bar and hit enter. From here I can't really help further until I know what router you have.
