I really hope that's not true though... The nuclear arsenal of both America and Russia is enough to cause mass extinction if at full use... Let's hope that never happens.

Re: What is happening in your country?I would be glad to if your to lazy to Do your own research. What would you like sources for? Nothing I said was a lie and I would be glad to open your mind to more than just cnn. Added in 9 minutes 10 seconds: Where is your evidence of this? Trump has made some comments about Iran recently but nothing he has done is pushing us towards a war with anyone with the exception of Russia when we killed 2 of their people sending tomahawk missiles at an airbase in Syria in response to chemical warfare used from that base. Russia was not happy about that at all. Still that's not a world war. A world war involves almost every country in the world and Russia let it go. Iran is not a good country but a war with them is a stretch. China has a lot invested in Iran and they really don't want us messing with Iran. Trump is not perfect but he is not the evil warmonger some make him out to be. He's not even racist. His ex black girlfriend says he's not racist. You really need to stop listening to all of the lies on the left and try the red pill. |

Re: What is happening in your country?Trump is a high-level narcissist as I already said some times and experts say as well. Delusion of grandeur, ignorance of decency, egomania taken to extremes, ludicrous propaganda with nothing behind it, hence also a pathetic manchild when actually challenged. I'd say Trump is mentally on the same level as his dictatorial enemies Putin, Xi Jinping and Erdogan. Difference is just that the US are still a working state of law with checks and balances. He nevertheless still caused a record-breaking shutdown and tried to undermine the constitution by declaring emergency for the sake of a FUCKING WALL. He's also working towards another kind of cold war, there's no denying of this. Google already gave in to him. And what did Iran actually do wrong? They want to keep up the nuclear deal, and so also want all european countries.
Anyway as a German I'm not influenced by any kind of organized media as you're making up (and neither is Electriking as he's british). I'm mildly left-wing from conviction. The rights are the poison for (and of) society. I also turned up mildly authoritarian in the political quiz, which is because I wish for authority that does good sustainable things. The youth in Germany and Europe is in uproar, Fridays for Future is going stronger, some Youtuber called Rezo made a flagrant video in which he scolded the inexcusable neglection of climate change by the political establishment, it gets millions of clicks, he got the establishment to react on it, and now basically the whole german Youtuber scene stands up for climate and appeals to the young generation to vote accordingly in the EU elections (needless to say, I definitely will). What would they even say about Trump??? The middle / conservative parties (CDU, SPD, FDP) may support climate protection verbally all they want, but their course of actions is literally going against it. The AfD however, generally being full idiots, even sassily denies all of climate change, and Trump is of the same calibre. So, if you support Trump, you support destruction of earth in a couple of decades, and with that attitude you're mentally closer to 60+ year olds than to your own children. |

Re: What is happening in your country?We have a record number of illegals entering this country and the number is so high it warrants a national emergency. If you have a better solution than the wall let's hear it because I have not heard of any and here is a fact. Some of the democrats also pushed for a wall until Trump wanted one and then they changed their minds. Trump is not the first person to propose a wall. In February the news said our border was at its breaking point as almost 80 thousand illegals were captured. Those are the ones who were caught marking the biggest number in 12 years. If you don't like a wall maybe you can have some of these illegals move in with you? Everyone who hates Trump says it will be the end of the world or he's a bad guy. Hillary tried that as her main campaign and now Biden is starting to try the same thing and it won't work. Trump won because he promised jobs and took a bunch of democrats and got them to vote for him. With record low unemployment including record low black unemployment Trump has not destroyed anything. He has actually made America better. Some farmers are hurting right now but they still won't support the democrats most farmers are hardcore Republicans who won't back the Democratic party. Trump has a good chance of being re-elected and the "he's a bad guy who will destroy the world" speech has little effect on families who have a better living due to more jobs. You need to come back to reality. Added in 11 minutes 10 seconds: I also want to point out our planet has been going through warming and cooling cycles for millions of years. Sure we may be influencing it but nothing we do can stop it. Greenland used to be warm and green. Now it's cold and snowy. That had nothing to do with us. Almost 30 thousand scientists sued al gore if I remember right over the global warming thing saying that we may actually be heading to global cooling years back and last winter was the coldest on record since the 60's. So climate change may be an issue but the left makes it out to be the end of the world because of human beings but it's a fact our planet was going through this long before us. The ginko tree has been around since before the dinosaurs. Instead of worrying about worst case scenarios that will probably never happen in this century try focusing on planting more trees and beautifying our world. Tress may not be enough but they are pretty and the ginko is an interesting read. |

Re: What is happening in your country?Political discussions are indeed a glorious sight to behold, especially when you have opposing sides. On the matter of what Trump does, I couldn't care less about whatever he is doing in the US. But what I care about is his attitudes when it comes to foreign policy. His speech and attitudes are overly aggressive, and sooner or later, will end up causing an easily preventable war(For the record, I find it quite extreme the idea that Trump would cause WW3, but he is definitely playing a role in rising tensions in areas like Iran).

Re: What is happening in your country?sorry for the super late answer. i'm 14 right now (turning 15 in september) and the elections happen every 4 years so in the next election i'll be 18 and able to vote. (also the voting age might be lowered to 16 here) edit: i guess considering the nature of this thread i should also update what's going on in finland. the election happened, and now they're making a new government. i doubt a lot is going to change considering the top 3 most voted parties. there's also the europarliament election going on right now. tbh a lot of the advertisements are just "independent finland!" or "we wont make another brexit"

Re: What is happening in your country?The government is all panicked over Brexit. Which is in another country. Makes perfect sense.

Re: What is happening in your country?Should 16 year olds be allowed to vote? At that age they are not very mature with some exceptions and a lot of people feel that is to young. |
||
Re: What is happening in your country?The young people who stand up for climate and gun control are very mature, a lot more than some rancurous adults
(expect a longer post from me eventually) |

Re: What is happening in your country?A lot of people also think 70+ is too old cause they're voting on a future they won't live in, yet that age group has a larger impact on elections than 16 year olds ever could. |

Re: What is happening in your country?In my country, the governing far-right party received 52% of the vote for the EP elections but said party will most likely have to be excluded from the next probable coalition in the EP and a young liberal party gained 2 seats out of the blue.
So in spite of Fidesz, the Hungarian governing reactionary party, having won almost 2/3 of EP seats in Hungary, the young liberals might soon contribute to draining the national establishment, possibly causing the fall of Fidesz in the next decade, hopefully in 2022. There are some people who are mature enough at the age of 16 and some who aren't mature at all at the age of 40. I personally support the idea of making 16 the requirement and I wouldn't even mind making 70+ unable to vote, albeit I'm not inherently supporting that. |

Re: What is happening in your country?Freaking dictator Trump decided to piss off gamers by making game consoles and games* 25% more expensive in the US.
*Modern games and console to be specific |

Re: What is happening in your country?Ha! You think that is bad? At one point, Nintendo stopped selling products to my country because of protectionist tariffs. |
||
Re: What is happening in your country?Did Trump actually do that to annoy gamers? If so, why? Like, why increase gaming prices of all things? |

Re: What is happening in your country?
dude don't ask this naively ... it's part of China trade war obvsly |

Re: What is happening in your country?Everything is trumps fault even if it's not trumps fault. Welcome to the liberal left. Obama could do no wrong and Trump has messed up everything... I could list the accomplishments of Trump and they would still hate him. Trump did not go out of his way to hurt gamers. That is ridiculous. Added in 14 minutes 58 seconds: I have watched a lot of videos where today's younger generation seems clueless on many political issues as if they only see what the news on tv tells them. There is usually more to the story and some research online can say a lot. I'm not even sure how many kids and college students watch the news but when asked simple questions some of them act like they don't have much of a brain. A poll showed 10% of college students think judge Judy was on the Supreme Court so that shows how much some of them really know about things. Added in 15 minutes 56 seconds: Allowing 16 year olds to vote is another way to rig the elections because a lot of younger people seem to be left leaning liberals and yet they seem so clueless on actually political issues. The democrats think giving voting rights to 16 year olds will play in their favor and it is believed by many that most teachers are liberal and teach liberal views so it's easy to understand why the democrats want voting rights for teenagers. The democrats also want illegals and criminals to have voting rights. So where do we draw the line on who can and can't vote? Several democrats have said the Boston Marathon bomber should have voting rights if he is ever released from prison and he murdered people. Let's not forget in America the electoral college gives every state a voice and they want to get rid of that too. I'm sorry but Los Angeles and New York City don't get to speak for America. Added in 14 minutes 21 seconds: So after doing some research the Trump administration proposed tariffs on anything not already having a tariff due to the trade war with China. While this includes games the proposed tariff was never actually set up just for games yet the liberal media is making it out that way to get more people to hate on Trump. It's a lie to say Trump is doing it to hurt gamers. The new consoles for some company's were already going to go up in price with one expected to cost about 500 bucks. China was being unfair with their trade and even if we owe them money they have no right to cheat us. It's crazy to see how the left slants stories to make Trump out to be a bad president. #walkaway. |

Re: What is happening in your country?#trumpforthegarbagedump Excuse me but if I remember correctly, Trump was the one who said that video games should be banned because they make people violent |

Re: What is happening in your country?First off, liberalism isn't a left-wing ideology and I personally hate the DNC and the "centrists" in the USA and I personally consider Bernie Sanders way too moderate, though if I was American I'd vote for him. But still, why should a 16 year old not be able to decide on their future? I can get your point in not allowing people in prison not being able to vote, though I'd personally make non-violent, or at least victimless crimes punished way less. Also, America faces huge racism issues, though not technically, but practice is what matters. Also is it really a problem that the democrats want voting rights for teenagers and is it all that true even? The clintonist portion of the democrats and YangGang aren't as popular among teens as social democrats, such as Bernie Sanders and well, the establishment democrats won't make 16 the legal age to vote. Also, rust belts are much easier to manipulate than teenagers! Much, much more easier tomanipulate... |
