Kinglicious 11/20/20 4:22:27 PM #453:	DoomTheGyarados posted... I don't know, I think it is hard to argue 'kill the nazis, give military funds to healthcare instead' as a sales pitch. Killing is a hard sales pitch and Nazis depends on what's meant because that's gotten broad. If we're gonna go that route then you'd better be damn sure you're talking WW2 Germans and have a post WW2 solution, because you're otherwise going the WW1 route where you might win but it's in a way that triggers a significantly greater evil. Slashing military for healthcare though, definitely a policy change that's for the better because our military spending is incredibly extreme so it's a call to moderation there. --- The King Wang.

Despite that evidence either not existing or being completely unrelated, and still requiring like 15 insane steps to actually prove whatever he is trying desperately to argue for. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."
