This thread is terrible. People are just posting any and everything they instantly disagreed with. Tebow probably would make a fantastic candidate in the age of PR politics and space exploration is hardly a universally acceptable investment.

It tends to suck away debate as well. Why deal with a point when you can just quote it into the 'lolurstupid' bin?

This isn't quite the only position on that particular issue that wouldn't qualify for inclusion, but it's close.

If Obama loses, or wins with an improving economy, yes.
Of course, the idea that the economy is improving is probably the funniest thing I've ever posted.

Despite the complaints from some people, before this thread and during the brief period when it was locked, any time someone made a particularly absurd, ignorant or bad post, it would either get posted in the Comedy Goldmine instead (resulting in other complaints) or someone would make a poll about that post saying something like "Is this one of the stupidest things you've ever read on the forum?" and a lot more bickering and flooding would result. The most notable example I can remember is when Harry made a poll just to point out that South Park Conservative claimed that oil is not a fossil fuel.
So it serves a purpose. Something even Inks seemed to have learned due to his unlocking of it.

It's to take out pent up stress, anger and disagreement of another member that one doesn't agree with. It's fun to read unless your user handle pops up regularly.

Not one false claim in Bill Clinton's speech last night:
http://www.bloomberg.com/video/no-false-claims-in-clinton-s-dnc-speech-c2Ha7CgMRqm9CIwOZMH2mA.html?cmpid=otbrn.video
Compare that to Paul Ryan's speech of lies last week.
I have not seen Ryan's speech yet. I fear I might have a cerebrovascular accident having to listen to all those lies.
Umm, Nobody and I repeat NOBODY has found a lie in Ryan's speech. Some supposed "fact checkers" (magically coordinated with dnc talking points) asserted that a few things were misleading. Those claims are/were incredibly weak and poorly made. How you guys go from 'a few weak claims of
"misleading"
' to "all those
Lies
" is entertaining. I mean it's funny... kind of like a clown, it amuses me.

watching the Left wing (full of anti semites) of the Democratic party over the past few years is like watching in slow motion the Nazi's taking over Germany.
the scary part is the young left wingers drones are even more left wing and anti semetic than the many of the "elites" (the OWS are similar to the Hitler Youth on so many levels)
