"Stuff they do on hard wood" is presumably what BSB is talking about. :P

I know that's a basketball reference, but cheerleaders do perform on the hard wood.  So, it's still not a gaffe, IMO.

Mitt Romney is not a governor. He is an ex-governor. The governor of Massachusetts is Deval Patrick.

In America, ex-politicians are generally called by their most recent office held as a matter of courtesy, which is why (for instance) Bill Clinton is still introduced as President Clinton and Mitt Romney is still Governor Romney.

I've always thought it's a pretty ridiculous custom. You don't see the BBC calling Tony Blair the Prime Minister, for example.

Thankfully the UK doesn't have ridiculous titles given for life.

Dear 2012 board,
Keep this clean because I want saboteurs and wreckers to be kind and considerate to those who disagree with the moderators of this disaster. Paul Ryan is from Janesville, where they apologize for producing Paul Ryan. A man of three words only – Packers and cheese-heads, with his enormous ears and suits. Joe Biden’s left arm is muscular and old, but he uses it well. It’s over. I don’t understand Mitt Romney’s positions. They are wondrously erotic and strange on any issue. He said he is severely conservative, but practices polygamy. “I enjoy curves,” he told supporters, and supporters vomited. Romney flip-flopped immediately, and flip-flopped again. Whips and chains are really fun to use on practicing Mormons who believe that the six wives of Barack Hussein Obama are really Romney’s. Hillary Clinton’s beauty does not exist. Who knew that Xahar was dropped from American Idol as a kid because he sucked certain things that kids should not have knowledge of, unless they have very bad parents? Qaddafi’s Nescafe drugs were consumed by Mustafa Abdul Jalil. Mitt Romney condemned the public display of apartheid memorabilia due to his father’s decision to brainwash his son. Sometimes I wonder about the virtue, or lack thereof, associated with doing many drugs. Cthulhu is rumored to endorse safe sex. Vote Cthulhu ’16! Because big black boxes of balloons will otherwise be considered morally objectionable. The three moderators are on my black list, so get Dave Leip to agree to fire them all. I hereby declare, “YOU ARE FIRED!!!!” A magic potion made me feel high as a balloon. Jill Stein really loves attention, but she is Kalwejt’s secret lover. A grilled bratwurst tastes so good. For heaven’s sake, please refrain from yanking on your yang-yang in public, because Simfan34 is not amused by that or similar activities that dismay Mike Naso, who used to be a homosexual, but won’t admit it, just like Grumps, who doesn’t realize that the election actually depends on increased racism among the white working-class, by the power of Jesus Almighty. Mitt Romney is rumored to be surprisingly talented at playing bass guitar and raping large companies of profit. Contrary to popular belief, Mormonism is a life of crime and murder, which only recently has been proscribed because of its government-like secrecy concerning unusual sexual practices, such as dragon sex, which is frightening, yet delicious with some cream. The cream is known to cause liberals to feel itchy in some very sensitive areas. Very many thanks; this board sucks just like Grumps. Tell Sarah Palin that her daughters are the most homophobic little Alaskans and trampy bitches to have ever gotten such large amounts of attention. Eight gallons of man juice ran through Politico, because Mitt Romney was in jail once. Tell the Moderators to ban Grumps right f[Inks]g now! Postscript: Done. Nym. By the way, Grumps is wonderful; nah, just kidding. Sometimes Grumps uses a nasty bunch of trampy young blondes to pleasure his randomly enlarged attitude regarding the entire rear of Hillary. My big black statue of David is beautiful as Hillary quick-stepping with a certain Chicagoan Mayor known as ‘Hillary Rodham’s behind the curtain’. Finally, Hillary is nude planning a copper, but Clarence decided to put his lengthy, aged opinion inside a hole of ignorance. Nevertheless, this whole thread is a pathetic disgusting piece of Skylarks, fighting a pointless war that Sirnick has won. The f[Inks]g END!

Sincerely,
Forum Community

Shame on him.

He should face up to it like a man instead of hiding behind a woman.

As President Harry Truman said, THE BUCK STOPS HERE.

With Obie, it's like a frat house - bros before hoes, duuude! And Obie's going to help his bankster bros out during the lame duck Congress by with a fire sale on Social Security.  Maybe Hillary would have an identical policy agenda, but her wing of the Democratic Party would actually hold her accountable for gutting the last of the New Deal; with BroBots, they actually prefer right-wing economic policy (planned joblessness, retroactive legalization of accounting control fraud, stealth bankster bailouts, health-insurance company bailouts, taxing work more than accumulated wealth, privatizing K-12, continued parasitism by the financial/higher-"education" complex, etc.), but derive their liberal credentials by bashing Christians and letting bros get married.  On foreign policy, Obie's has normalized and expanded Shrub's imperialism; liberals are wont to justify it now, just because the emperor isn't a pretend cowboy (bad press, bro!).

I'm slightly confused here.

If he makes a draw, he can stop the bleeding but still lose badly in two weeks

I know the election is a very, very tight race and could go either way very easily.  Do you think, though, that Barack and Michelle have a few things in boxes just in case they have to move out, or are they so confident they don't have anything packed, yet?  If they lose re-election on November 6, they will have 74 days until they have to be out.  Of course, if they win, they can unpack and put all the boxes back in the closet for 4 years.

Bro, we can't let Sarah Palin win! Forward(TM) with BrObama! Forward(TM) with Simpson-Bowles!  Most pwogwessive pwesident ever!!! Wants bros to marry each other!

Good Lord you're insufferable.

What's insufferable is the usual women-bashing and/or vapid memes being trotted out, the opportunity cost of which is discussing the austerity BrObama will inflict during his second imperial term. Had them figured out five years ago: Just as right-wing on punishing the poorest 99+% supposedly to balance a meaningless accounting identity (which isn't the intention anyway, just to redistribute wealth upward) but deriving their libewal/pwogwessive cred by assuming "culturally" transgressive affectations. Romney would be an all-too-obvious villain for handing Social Security to the banksters, droning civilians into red mist, normalizing/expanding/usurping executive power, retroactively legalizing foreclosure fraud, normalizing (8% nominal / 20% real DISemployment), and approving reckless resource extractions for his bankster bros to speculate on. Better to pick someone who can hide behind identity "politics." And they really hate ambitious women ...

If anyone has any doubt about Obie's second term policy objectives and/or cares about the implementation of austerity, all they need to do is google his Hamilton Project speech from 2006. The guy was handpicked to privatize* SS/Medicare under the pretext of "fiscal prudence" - and his bros [paper towel, Jon Stewart?] are completely in favor of all the imperialism and austerity.

* Privatize, not cut, because like Shrub's/Pinochet's/Ray-gun's approach, it's about "shock-and-awe" responses in the face of ["]crisis["] - "fiscal cliff" included.

Just the bolded, green part.  I didn't read the rest of it, just that he called Obama's 2nd term "imperial" had me cracking up.

So basically this is Mr. MENSA's argument: That day the total percentage of all voters who were Democrats who had already voted decreased. Therefore more Republicans must've voted on that day. The percentage is the only thing that matters.

So if you start out with 90 Democrats voting and 10 Republicans, and then the next day the numbers become 200 Democrats and 50 Republicans, that means more Republicans voted on that day. I can't figure that out, but I guess that just means my puny non-MENSA mind is just too stupid to comprehend it.

This post is art:

This is a new phenomenon that is being floated around by experts.

We all know what coatails are. For example, Obama coattails in Connecticut might propel Murphy to victory. Or Romney coattails in North Dakota might propel Berg to victory.

But how about mega coattails? The theory is that there is a such a huge margin in a state that it actually leaks over into neighboring states

For example, Romney is going to win Utah by so much that it harms Obama in Nevada and Colorado.

They say mega coattails from Illinois is what gave Obama Indiana in 2008.

Should Obama campaign in Salt Lake City? Obviously he won't win the state but if he can get the margin down in Utah, there will just be coattails in Utah and not mega coattails

I can see it now:

"Although Obama won a majority of voters within Colorado, Mitt Romney recieved so many votes in neighboring Utah that state officials were forced to stack these Republican returns into a literal mountain of ballots towering three miles high. This spire of election forms toppled due to an unexpectedly strong wind from the west, causing an estimated 80,000 ballots cross the state line into Colorado where they were recovered by that state's election officials; due to a little-known technicality in Federal law these votes are required to be counted as votes in the recieving state, so the AP hereby calls Colorado for Republican candidate Mitt Romney. In related news, the AP also calls Orrin Hatch as the unanimous victor in the race for Colorado's new Class I Senate seat.

Is that what voters sort of like me who voted for Obama last time, but not this time, think?  Interesting! I didn't "know" that about myself before.

I hope to report turnout around 3:00 PM. 

Oh dear, I can already guess what that turnout report is going to be like...

I'm hoping for something like his hourly turnout reports from last time:

Light orderly lines at my polling station at 7:05 AM.

8:00 AM no line.  Maybe one voter going in.

9:10 AM, no line, one voter walked in.  PA 11th Ward, two polling stations.

I had to have missed something.  No line at 10:10 AM.  I cannot believe turnout is really that much down.

This is not necessarily indicative.  I drove past four precincts to get lunch.  The only line I saw was that KFC.  In three of the four precincts, there were no voters coming or going; the fourth has a couple leaving.  This was at about 11:30 AM to noon.

There could have been a lot of early voters.

The Chinatown precinct, previously mentioned, is the largest in the city.  Temple University is the only other one with moderately high numbers.

At 12:15 PM we had rain.

Well, it was reported that little Annie and little Mitt were playing doctor a few days before the wedding.  They got into his dorm room and Annie said, “Oh, Doctor Mitt Romney, I have a strange feeling between my legs. You better take a look!”  Romney immediately replied, “Sure, not a problem. I will, however, need you to put up a $5,000 cash deposit before any course of treatment commences. Since you came to my office already complaining of this malady, that’s a pre-existing condition, which, as you know, is not covered by insurance. So, I think by having a little ‘skin in the game,’ so to speak, you’ll be more motivated to participate in the limited treatment options available, such as prayer. Now, Annie, if you’ll first just sign this waiver…”

Needless to say, Annie and Mittens stayed virgins a while longer.

Mister Twister is still on a roll.

23% election day vote according to the internals. The rest are claiming they either have voted already (43% vs. 37% actual through 10/30) or that they will before Election Day (33%).

Don't doubt Obama wins NV or even that a 4% margin is unreasonable.

I do know that the Obama Early Vote edge is roughly between 25,000 and 35,000 right now if you look at the SoS numbers and rake them based on polling data. A 7% Romney undecided edge would likely have it inside 30K. That's with a three days left in Early voting, IIRC.

I am not quite sure what the magic early vote banked number is for the Obama camp. But I don't think 30K or even 40K is a comfortable margin.

Bottom line is that Nevada won't be a cakewalk for either candidate. And who wins will come down to Election Day turnout.

Dude, seriously? Nevada is gone for the GOP
I don't know how you can say a state that's within 4% is "gone" at this point. If it were "gone," Paul Ryan wouldn't be making a campaign stop in Reno today and Barack Obama would not be campaigning in Nevada as well.

It's leaning Obama, yes. I am not convinced that given the ACTUAL early vote data that it's a slam dunk and nailed down yet. Huge difference.

Dude, seriously?

In which noted climatologist J.J. argues that Hurricane Sandy was just a run of the mill nor'easter:

What you are missing is that Bloomberg will help in South Florida, and likely with the suburban moderates in NOVA and Denver as well.

If he had made it about Israel, possibly, it would help in FL.  It was about global warming. 

Moderates in NOVA and Denver, only big environmentalists, and Obama has their vote already.

Educated suburban moderates almost universally accept climate change.  I'm surprised Obama hasn't campaigned on it at all in VA and CO.  It is an opportunity to make Romney look anti-science to people who might otherwise be R on fiscal issues.

And, if they are educated, they would realize that a nor'easter is not uncommon.

Being without power for 3 days from that common Noreaster caused me to miss the rest of Professor J.J.'s lecture on Advanced infantry tactics to retake a consulate compound. Do you think they have a recording of the lecture at the lab? I hear it was co-lectured with the modern day Hannibal, Professor Cliffy...

Chaffetz was a Democrat (Utah co-chair for Dukakis '88), but changed after meeting Reagan in 1990.

Bizarre - I wasn't even aware Reagan was still alive in 1990 - in any case he can't have been cognizant.  So it is true - Reagan was like the pod people, and took over this guy Chaffez by osmosis.

Wildcard bet: Elena Kagan came out of the closet to her colleagues at that meeting on Thursday and made a strong case that people in her position shouldn't be denied the right to marry someone they love. The court is swayed by her personal appeal, and decides to use the Prop 8 case (and specifically, upholding the facts and decision of the district court trial) to unanimously legalize same-sex marriage nationwide as a basic human right. It'll be like Brown v. Board, with the unanimity of the court playing a huge role in the decision's acceptance throughout most of the nation. Kagan publicly comes out of the closet in the decision of the court itself, which all eight of the other justices join in a show of support.

Electing J.C. Watts the new RNC chairman should easily win the GOP at least 30-40% of the black vote. The black community is taking this very seriously, and if the Republicans decide to elect a token black ultra-conservative from Oklahoma to be their head fundraiser, it's fair to say that blacks will almost instantly become one of the foremost "swing" demographics.

I don't agree with everything on that page, but it makes great points about cannabis in the Bible, and that Jesus healed using it. Jesus was a medical marijuana practioner.

That would be a LOT more than could ever be said about The Two Towers.

I maintain that Faramir should consider consulting his lawyers with the aim of suing Jackson for libel. The case is overwhelming.

I'm representing the Ents in a similar case, actually. However, the case moves very slowly, since it's in an Entish court. I presumably won't live to see its resolution, but it should result in the violent dismemberment of all the earthly remains of Jackson's oeuvre.

Al's comment, and Lewis's response are both worthwhile entries, I would suggest, although Lewis's is undoubtably the more humourous.

Jack E. Robinson is almost certainly one of the worst candidates to ever seek election to the U.S. Senate. He'd have struggled to get 30% in any state, but since he was running in Massachusetts, he was lucky to just break the 10% mark.

What made him a terrible candidate? Well, his electoral strategy included releasing and making public every possible piece of negative information about himself. His self-made website detailed his arrest for failing to pay a ticket, the restraining order his ex took out on him, and a drunk driving charge. As a bonus, he also got into a car accident while doing a live radio interview. Robinson was bad enough to get disowned publicly by the state GOP in a year where the party had little to gain by doing so (2000).

Even the Republicans I know in Massachusetts (who worked on the Romney campaign) say they voted Libertarian as a protest against the worst candidate to ever seek the office of U.S. Senate in the history of the Commonwealth.

Aside from the admittedly very funny nerd-humor about Ents, the juxtaposition of the word oeuvre and 'violent dismemberment' is beautifully done.  There's nothing like finding the base next to the pretentious to bring out a titter.

Krazen: The Early Years:

"Mom, check that there aren't any teachers hiding in the closet" Little Krazen did shout/
Just before the lights went out.  
There were no teachers hiding in the closet that night/
Or even any other night
But little Krazen still couldn't sleep/
He was too scared to make even a peep.  
Tomorrow was his first day of school and if there was school there were sure to be teachers/
Truly the most vile of all God's creatures.  
Little Krazen was a clever lad/
He knew the truth about the evil that all teachers do and society's ignorance of it made him quite sad.  They don't hit kids nor do they scream and shout/
But they didn't fool little Krazen, no, he knew what they were all about.  
Teachers live the high life in apartments with $50,000 per-year pay instead of in a box by a gutter/
Thought Little Krazen with a shudder.  
Little Krazen was smart as a tack/
Much too smart for any union thugs that the teachers might send to attack.
Day after day in the classroom he would sit silently and despair/
While the teachers got paid, isn't life most unfair?
Years later Pre-Teen Krazen would find/
An internet forum on which to vent and unwind.
"The union thug wouldn't think of checking my posts, cause he's just a dumb jerk"/
Thought Pre-Teen Krazen with a smirk.
And that is how Krazen1211 came to be/
Attempts to reason with him about teachers are futile, don't you see?

It was of course not meant as an insult.

It was just that I thought Joe was gay, because I think I once clicked on the picture thread and saw him on a picture with his dad who was holding a sign on which it said: "I'm proud of my GAY son".

I have a few questions to ask about the history of the forum.

1. How long has it been around?

The Forum was established in 1975 by Dave Leip in his mom's basement, where Mr. Leip was spending time discussing elections with his imaginary friends and family's cat, Peter. He was also pretty busy sticking his colorful election maps to the wall. The Forum went down after a fire accidentally started by Daniel, a bipolar family's dog. Deeply traumatized by this experience, Mr. Leip decided to put his map in safe place, which is the internet.

2016

The year is 2016. Nine armed terrorists affiliated with white supremacist groups have taken control of the DNC, threatening to hold the entire convention hostage until their demands are met. Their demands, including a return to the Southern Democratic platform of 1860 and the appointment of State Sen. Hillbilly32 and State Rep. David Duke as the party's ticket in November, are met. They are to keep the party officials hostage to ensure that the ticket receives serious funding. Democratic Senator Brian Schweitzer manages to escape from the convention when Bill Clinton creates a diversion and Mayor Rahm Emanuel cusses em out while Sen. Cory Booker overpowers one of them to escape out a back exit.

At the RNC, meanwhile, similar shenanigans are occurring. Rep. Peter King has stood up to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio as the party's nominee, with House Majority Leader Darrell Issa as his running mate. However, former Vermont Governor Jim Douglas enters another name into nomination: Rep. Oldiesfreak1854 of Michigan, noted historical revisionist. Rep. Oldiesfreak had previously run an unsuccessful presidential campaign, carrying only his home state of Michigan and Northern New England. Despite being crushed in the popular vote, it appears that (through rather undemocratic means) Oldiesfreak's followers (known as 'the freaks') have succeeded in controlling a majority of state delegations. Oldiesfreak is duly nominated, and chooses his fellow historical revisionist President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, attempting to draw a sharp contrast with the current administration due to Gallup polling suggesting that President Ahmadinejad was overwhelmingly preferred by rural voters over incumbent President Obama.

Gov. Brian Sandoval, alongside Gov. Susana Martinez and Gov. Mitch Daniels for the Republicans and Sen. Brian Schweitzer, Sen. Cory Booker, and other minor Democrats who did not attend the convention, announce the formation of the National Union Party, which has as its main two planks non-racism and acceptance of history (the party would later add several more policy planks that allow it to remain cohesive, tending towards centrist/center-right fiscal views and centrist-to-left social views). National Union, while it has great popular support, is lacking in fundraising due to a takeover of the RNC apparatus by the freaks and the aforementioned situation with the Democrats.

On election day, early results are not favorable for the National Union. Oldiesfreak had unexpectedly pulled out victories in New Jersey (despite the vigorous campaigning of Gov. Chris Christie for the National Union ticket), Connecticut, and ME-02, while results from the South suggested that Hillbilly32 had an unprecedented 80% of the Southern vote, because he was popular amongst all southerners, including an inconceivable 98% of the black vote because black like him. Going through the night, the only state in the Midwest the National Union ticket wins is Illinois (due to splitting between downstate and the black vote in Chicago). However, NU dominates in the West.

FINAL ELECTORAL TOTALS

State Sen. Hillbilly32 (D-FL)/State Rep. David Duke (R-LA): 206 EVs, 31% of the PV
Sen. Brian Schweitzer (NU-MT)/Gov. Brian Sandoval (NU-NV): 198 EVs, 54% of the PV
Rep. Oldiesfreak1854 (R-MI)/former Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad(A-IR): 134 EVs, 15% of the PV

I don't get it.

The opening and closing lyrics for the animated TV show The Flintstones were written in a time before the first thing people thought of when they heard "gay" was "homosexual".

[At start of show]

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones,
They're a modern stone age family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They're a page right out of history.
Let's ride with the family down the street.
Thru the courtesy of Fred's two feet.
When you're with the Flintstones,
have a yabba dabba doo time,
a dabba doo time,
we'll have a gay old time.

[At close of show]

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones,
They're a modern stone age family.
Come on, down to Bedrock,
It's a place right out of history.
Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight
And the cat will stay out for the night.
When you're with the Flintstones,
Have a yabba dabba doo time,
A dabba doo time.
We'll have a gay old time.

(The differences between the opening and closing verses were due to what was being shown on the screen as they were sung.)

The point I was making was that if you went back to the early 1960s or earlier and told them a gay woman would win an election, they'd wonder why you were making a fuss over her being cheerful.

I'm a postmoderate.  We pomos are different from traditional moderates.  We place everything on a political matrix in the shape of a sphere.  We place any sentence that can be identified as a "political stance" on the surface of said sphere as an extremist position.  We then fill the rest of the sphere with empty space and place our position at the center.

The centered position is formed by collecting all the statements of the sphere surface, breaking them down as words, and finding the ten most common words spoken.   These ten words the form the ten word sentence of our belief on any said issue.

Attacking adult males for liking My Little Pony is very reactionary and is a defense of traditional gender roles.

Agreed, what kind of man wouldn't like a show about six hot lesbians learning to love each other more?

Gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Here's something that I think might result in some extreme Values Dissonance: in my whole subculture and scene, things like your native culture and traditions are not supposed to matter. Because one you get involved with the subculture, THAT becomes your culture. Where you came from is washed away. Even if you were born into some specialized ethnic community, that is not what you "belong" to anymore. Race, ethnicity and background no longer matter. You know my whole neutral hoodie/band shirt/jeans outfit? People wear that EVERYWHERE. You can go to a show in Europe or even South Africa and people will be dressed the exact same way. And it helps that it's neutral and not tied to any type of region or culture and also doesn't carry any racial or class connotations, etc. You know my dislike of cliques and fraternities? It's pretty much based on the same type of thinking. Now that's not to say all sorts of categories within that culture develop (as this (http://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/scenesters.htm) makes clear), but it does mean that one doesn't attach themselves to an ethnic identity anymore, and that makes any type of purely nominal denominational affiliation meaningless. It's part of a greater stream of acceptability and equality, similar to Galatians 3:28, just change "Christ Jesus" to "punk/hardcore/indie/emo".

What this does mean is that if someone is a Christian (and mind you, atheism/agnosticism is closer to the norm), they'll probably identify as just "Christian" (or something like "Christ follower") and if they have a church it'll be something neutral in terms of race and ethnic connotations. So essentially that means no Catholics, at least for that reason mentioned above. And to actually be a Catholic, this means basically accepting things like patriarchism and this:

It also means there is zero tradition of accepted schism where you go off and do your own thing, while that right is central to the Protestant tradition.

which run COMPLETELY afoul to the acceptable cultural mores. The result? If you're involved you won't be Catholic, and if you're really in deep in the scene it's not likely you'll know someone in it whose Catholic, and thus will not be familiar with someone clinging to denominational affiliation based on culture and tradition alone. Such a premise becomes very alien and difficult to comprehend because the fact is, you just don't think that way. And people who are Christian are going to want a similar style and attitude, race, gender and ethnicity are meaningless, Christ is open to EVERYONE, and that means no type of "ethnic" practices. There are some other factors involved, including the basic fact that your typical Catholic church is going to be full of mostly just olds on any given Sunday, but that's the jist of the whole thing.

Now before someone points out that this is rather hypocritical for something that appeals pretty much only to middle to upper class white people, well yes, that's true. But it should at least give some insight into the mindset involved. So when PR is saying I have no respect for history, tradition and culture, well perhaps, but one must realize that's because I'm from somewhere where the rule is to NOT do that.

Hahahaha, are you quite sure you want to use this as an argument against the Catholic Church?

I'm not really interested in the ponies and I still don't know what Adventure Time actually is, but I find the idea that 'proper adults' should be able to divine some kind of utility-value (however defined) out of things they read or watch, and that the extent to which they admit of doing so has a direct correlation to the ostensible target audience age, a little questionable.

Adventure Time is actually quite good if you've blocked off an afternoon of quality time with your water pipe. Kids shows are typically made with the intent of entertaining grownups, since its grownups that often make the viewing decisions for kids, especially young kids.

Ramsey has some strange ideas, like advising people to pay off their smallest debt first, regardless of interest rate. WTF? You have to take every mathematical advantage possible to get ahead today.

I've heard him say that he recommends it because it makes it psychologically easier to stay on track paying off debt. Personally I say just suck it up and keep the debt repayments automatic.
Whether or not your payments are automatic isn't the issue. If you have more than one revolving debt with interest, like a credit card, car payment, mortgage, etc, you have to decide, how much additional money to send each one after the minimum payment. Mathematically, you only want to pay the minimum to all creditors except the one with the highest rate, and you want to send them every penny you've marked for debt reduction. It's just basic math. He wants people to pay the smallest debt first because they will feel good and stick to the plan once it's paid off. It's not mathematically sound. Unless you just enjoy paying extra money in interest.
People are not a math formula.
Congrats. In one sentence, you've debunked the entire dismal science of economics. :)

This or the Deluge, I'm not sure.

Quote from: Simfan
A damn shame.

I don't I do not understand the accusations leveled against me. It seems that certain people believe they can tell me what what and what not to believe, never mind the fact these were the very same people who insisted quite strongly that my earlier beliefs were untrue. It should be obvious I am no leftist. This whole charade, indeed, was an attempt to prove the ludicrousness of such thought, and indeed, the fact that I believed in what I have said. Not a single thing I have said past 5:30 on the 21st is sincere, as it should be clear. Conversely, everything I have said prior to that point, I truly believe. I had hoped to continue with this experiment. But that is clearly impossible now.

What is also clear, however, is that there is a large number of people here who cannot, for some reason, accept any opinion issued by myself. Another person might make accusations of racism. But I of course make no such claim. But I continue to be perplexed by these people, who, after exhibiting views similar to their own, proved no more receptive. Under no circumstances shall they ever accept my views as being authentic, much less of merit.

I am insulted, furthermore, at the implication of putting on some sort of show, or contriving some kind of persona. I am sorry if my personality does not neatly fit into your beliefs of what certain people should and should be like, and what they should and should not believe. If you want to believe it is impossible of a person of my background, or my age, or whatever, to take an interest in the traditional ways of the world, in its art, in its music, in its culture, or to be pessimistic about the capacity of the average person to be a responsible stakeholder in a democracy, or to have a fondness for bow ties and tweed jackets, feel free to do so. But know that I do.

I had first hoped to stem of what I discerned was a rising wave of antipathy by the whole "Simfan 2.0" idea, where I would keep my mouth shut on the beliefs I thought were particularly out of the mainstream. This of course was an abject failure, mostly because of my own distaste for self-censorship. This whole volte-face was meant to provide a counter point, to see of those critics would change their tune, and I see  they have not.

Thus there is no point in tailoring my message of curtailing perceived excesses, for those who are opposed will remain opposed. I apologise to those who shall accept it, for my bad faith and my two-facedness. I sincerely hope I can regain your trust. In turn, I hope, you shall be able to accept me for who I am and what I believe.

Also, capitalising the first o in "opebo" ruins the rather charming reflective symmetry in the name. opebo opəbo. just realised this.

Except that would actually read oqedo. Try reviewing your geometry classes.

That's right!  Its just - 'something'.  Some approximation of a thing.  That's all. Its the best, I think, that we can do - but good enough.

Silvio's moral lapses are allowed because they represent the core of our italian values. But I can see some of you jealous by his love and CONSENSUAL affairs with young laydies, being the majority of you nerds whose idea of sex is talking about the gerrymandering in Maryland.

I'd say this belongs to deluge. However, I can appreciate the peculiar sense of humour (oh Silvio, Genio y Figura) but I feel a bit ashamed about the Italians. For sure the core values of the Italian people are not necessarily 'consensual' paid relationships of quasi-paedophilic nature. Oh, the Horror!... Conrad said.

From an alternate history I considered writing




American Conservative Union Party:A party from the pre-war era it was the party of government through the war. It heavily stressed a socially libertarian rightest view of politik. Outlawing abortion under the Ronald Reagan/Rev. Martin Luther King administration. Where it shows it's libertarian flair is in the states handling drug and marriage laws. Other famous figures in the party include Current President Ron Paul(ACU-PA) Congressmen Mike Pence(ACU-IN), Chris Daughtry(ACU-NC), Jack Kemp (ACU-NY) the Party of Jefferson, Madison, Coolidge, JFK, and Reagan Also the party of Evangelical, Pentacostal, and other conservative Christian sects as well as many minorities.

Libertarian Party:Also a pre-war party but has seen massive growth since the war. More socially liberal but very conservative regarding economic and foreign policy. Figures include Senator Gary Johnson (L-NM), Brian Schwicker (L-MT)

Republican Party:Blamed for the cause of the Liberty War it has shrunk considerably but still has considerable clout. Many Northeastern rightists still keep to the party of Lincolin. Most High Church Christians and Mormans tend with their moderate stances.Figures include Willard "Mitt Romney (R-MA), Richard Lugar (R-IN), Hillary Clinton (R-IL)

Progressive Party:The standard bearer of the center-left. After the Democrats dissolved in 1985 the Progressives have been trying to court the Republicans to merge with them and leave the right. They are trying to get abortion and gay marriage legalized throughout the country though with little success. Figures include Nancy Pelosi (P-CA), Rudy Guliani (P-NY), Michael Bloomburg (P-NY). The party of FDR and LBJ

Democratic Socialist Party:Further to the Left of the Progressives you have this party. The youngest of the major parties include many (around 25 percent of minorities) that believe in Socialism and liberal social policies. Bernie Sanders, Barney Frank, and Andre Carson lead this new wave of the radical left. The Occupy Movemnet leans heavily in their direction.

Magic is capital controlled by the wizarding world. The "pure-blood" Slytherins represent the aristocracy who believe that "magic" (i.e. capital) should be in the hands of a privileged elite. The "clever" Ravenclaws represent the bourgeois intelligentsia. Hufflepuff are the petty-bourgeois, stupid and useless yet still oppressive.

All wizards treat Muggles (proletarians) as inferior beings and allow them to labour and suffer when, if they control of the means of production (magic), they could have much better lives. The Muggles are unaware of magic's existence, just like the proletariat are largely unaware of the existence of capitalism. The house-elves are skilled labourers lacking class-consciousness, believing that the system is kind to them. Dobby is like that guy in The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists, but he ultimately fails in igniting revolution.

Note that while some believe that it is acceptable for Muggle-borns to learn magic (i.e. become nouveau riche) and others disagree, all agree that magical people are inherently superior. The wizarding peoples do not learn to perform productive labour at Hogwarts, merely how to use the magic they were born with. Similarly, the bourgeoisie need only learn to manipulate money; the workers will produce it.

And so we come to our heroes. The Gryffindors wear red Quidditch robes and represent the Red Army. Dumbledore, with his voluminous white beard, stands for Karl Marx; Hagrid is Engels, his faithful servant; while Harry Potter's glasses and untidy black hair make him identical to Leon Trotsky. Harry's lightning-bolt scar is in reference to the fatal head wound inflicted on Trotsky by Ramón Mercader with an ice pick. The two Orders of the Phoenix represent the First and Second Internationals.

Voldemort represents the modern consumer. His commodity fetishism is symbolised by the Horcruxes, "valuable" objects into which he projects parts of his soul. Possessions give him identity; destroying them shatters it, making him realise that he has not developed as a human being.

Quidditch is a further allegory. The Chasers and Keeper represent the workers, who supply most of the game's work and are forced to compete with each other. The Beaters are the armies who, although they appear to fight each other, in reality oppress the workers. The Seeker is the capitalist: he wins the gold(en snitch) and renders the Chasers' labour virtually worthless.

Snape is Lenin. He kills Dumbledore in order to fulfill Dumbledore's plans, just as Lenin modified Marxist theory to fulfil Marx's broad goals.

I have recently passed an executive order to deem the city of Buffalo, New York our official 'Second Capital' of the Northeast Region.  If I am sworn in once again, I will formally begin my second term in that city.  I anticipate that future governors will follow precedent.

This amendment is

DEAD!

Stop living in a dream world.  Face reality.  The peple have spoken!

In a democracy, you really have no choice but to accept
the will of the people. 

"Second Capital"?  I have never heard anything so silly in my life.  The Northeast Assembly is, and will remain, by the will of the people, in New York City.  You're sitting in your little office in Buffalo, pouting, and the business of the Northeast is being carried on at the real capital in New York City.  What are you going to do, keep in touch by telephone and email?  Get real. 

Do your job as Governor, accept the the democratic decision of the voters, and quit acting like some spoiled brat who doesn't get his way.

"Wah, wah, I'm going home and taking my marbles with me. Wah, wah, wah!"

I would certainly hope no future Governors would ever do as you plan to do, i.e. disrespect and thumb your nose at the voters of the Northeast.

Shameful, absolutely shameful and inexcusable behavior on your part.

Because you have made a mockery of democracy, you are not worthy to bear the title of Governor.

Post by: Antonio the Sixth on February 23, 2013, 10:33:58 PM
Hilarious because of what Simfan did.

Long story short: Simfan's ban was unanimously approved by the moderation team not only due to his socks, but also due to the convoluted nature of his "plot" as well as his repeated refusal to come clean, before we knew the details, in exchange for leniency.

TheReporter was a Simfan sock we previously had incorrectly assumed to be a sock of Athiest2006. It turns out that Simfan created this persona to argue with himself and report dozens of his own posts. Fidelio was also a Simfan sock, created so that he could post a "Simfan v. DemRepDan" match-up and give himself an opportunity to vote a second time in a poll on the Individual Politics board. We had originally misidentified Fidelio as a sock of Mondale84, but then became very suspicious when Simfan claimed to have some sort of "phantom ban" that occurred right when the Fidelio account was banned.

As we were figuring this out and asking Simfan about it, he admitted his prior creation of TheReporter account but fervently denied any connection to Fidelio, although in the course of making these statements he was simultaneously handing over proof via IRC PM's and anonymous emails that Fidelio was indeed his sock. Over the course these discrete admissions of guilt he also made several grandiose claims, such as stating that Alexander Hamilton was his sock. He eventually offered enough evidence (in spite of his constant denials) for us to prove Fidelio was indeed his sock and that his other claims were nonsense. Upon Simfan's direct confession he was placed on mute pending Nym's ratification of moderator consensus.

No idea why he was inspired to play these sorts of games, but it was a nuisance to both the forum at large and the moderators in particular (Torie estimated that we spent ~40 man-hours on Simfan in this past week). While past precedent has indicated that extenuating circumstances can sometimes- rarely- keep a user from being banned after creating a sock, nothing of that sort was present here. He's created multiple sock accounts for ridiculous reasons and made no indication he would cease such habits in the future. Ultimately, that's why Simfan is no longer among us.

So basically the moderators are fools who cannot figure anything out.  And Torie spent the better part of last week stalking Simfan, and another undisclosed amount of hours estimating the number of hours he spent stalking Simfan.


...that's why Simfan is no longer among us.


Glad we got that sorted out.

The kitteh on the left represents the proletariat, while the kitteh on the right represents the bourgeois (like the guy in your sig if he were a cat). Bourgeois Kitteh sits idly by, content and secure in his ownership of the means of production, and contributes nothing while profiting from the surplus value of Proletarian Kitteh's labor. Proletarian Kitteh has begun to achieve class consciousness however she has not fully freed herself from capitalist ideology.  As the gif begins, Proletarian Kitteh approaches Bourgeois Kitteh and begins to demand an end to her oppression. This shocks the complacent Bourgeois Kitteh, who awakens to his slumber and threatens Proletarian Kitteh with all the forces of the Capitalist machine, from the state to business to the church. Bourgeois Kitteh promises Proletarian Kitteh that if she dares to question her oppression, she will face unemployment, starvation, and imprisonment in this life and damnation in the next. Proletarian Kitteh is frightened into submission and feebly runs away back to working for her bosses. What Proletarian Kitteh does not realize is that she has nothing to lose but her chains, and a world to win. In this way, the gif is a representation of the plight of the working class in the modern advanced capitalist world.

Not to the sun, but a flyby, which isn't quite as absurd.  Gravity assist has been used several times already to accelerate spacecraft, including the first two Voyagers. However, gravity assist doesn't work with the sun.  Gravity assist is used to increase the velocity relative to the sun of a spacecraft via a transfer of momentum with the body that used to sling the spacecraft.  It only works if the body you slingshot around is not your frame of reference.

(Note, in theory one could do a powered slingshot around the sun as using thrusters when close to a body is the most efficient way of using them.  However, in order for the effect to be noticable, you'd need to get much closer to the sun than would be advisable.

So?  The Galileo probe did a flyby of Venus and two of Earth to get the speed needed to go to Jupiter.  Cassini did two Venus flybys, one Earth flyby, and a Jupiter flyby on its way to Saturn.  Going to an inner planet to gain speed to reach an outer planet is fairly normal.

Freedom House and the Democracy Index both agree that Venezuela is 'partly free' (and worse than all her neighbors) which is about right. The Carter Center is a very flawed organization in numerous ways (most notably, they called the UAE "completely free and open", which I hope we can all agree isn't the case, though that has nothing to do with Venezuela), and the corruption in the Venezuelan system is plain for everyone to see.

I like that Xahar has turned up though, his inanities are always fun. Tweed's get stale after a while.

So you really had a teacher who thought Hitler should be considered Lincoln's son?

Pretty much.  He had a picture of Lincoln put under a picture of Hitler's head.  He hated Abe Lincoln and was asked once if he wishes the Confederacy won which he answered in the affirmative.  I wish I could remember his reasoning behind that, because a statement like that needs to be backed up, but I can't place it.  Mind you that was late 90s/early 00's.

Well, that explains it then.  That was back when The War Between the States was still fresh in people's memories, and the emotions were still raw.

Most Argentinians are as much "colonial settlers" as the Falklanders. The Brits should offer to exchange the Islands for Buenos Aires - the colonial (i.e., non-Native American) population of Buenos Aires should then be resetteld on the newly Argentinian Malvinas. The Falklanders would then move to the newly rebaptized Thatcherville, where they would immediately form a majority of the population. Any further claim by Argentinians to the Falkland islands should be interpreted as implying the acceptability of such a territorial exchange. The British government should insist on Thatcherville as the proper designation of the town, that its present colonial masters call Buenos Aires.

GLAUCON: Isn't it good luck that we've run into you, Socrates, on our way to the Agora. We're in the middle of a seeming intractable dispute that you can help us with.
SOCRATES: What is your dispute about?
GLAUCON: It's about who will carry North Carolina in the 2012 American presidential election.
TENDERBRANSON: I say Barack Obama will probably win. The newest poll has him leading by 3 points.
UMENGUS: Everyone knows that's just junk. That poll has a sample 7 points more Democratic than the electorate of North Carolina in 2010.
TORIES: I wouldn't put it so strongly as Umengus, but another poll from Rasmussen does have Mitt Romney leading by 2 points. We just can't be sure at this point.
SOCRATES: So one poll says that Obama is leading, and another says that Romney is leading?
GLAUCON: That's right.
SOCRATES: Now, can it be that in the real election, both candidates are the winner?
GLAUCON: No, that couldn't be.
SOCRATES: So it must be that the polls do not capture the form of the election in its true nature, but only a changeable appearance of it?
GLAUCON: That must be right.
TENDERBRANSON: Your logic is clear, Socrates.
TORIES: That's how it is.
SOCRATES: So perhaps another approach would be better. Now, North Carolina voted Republican in 2004 and Democratic in 2008, did it not?
TENDERBRANSON: Yes.
SOCRATES: Would we not say that if a man is to be a lover of wisdom and have harmony in his soul, the rational and philosophical part of his soul should be in command?
GLAUCON: Clearly.
SOCRATES: So should we not look to North Carolina's most rational and philosophical citizens?
TORIES: Well, North Carolina has a lot of high-income seculars, working as computer programmers in Raleigh or bankers in Charlotte, and these I think will trend hard to Romney. This is why I think Romney will carry North Carolina.
SOCRATES: Who are these "high-income seculars" of which you speak, Tories?
TORIES: They are people like me, who've made lots of money filing suit in the court of Argon and trading with the Persians, and who don't believe that there are any gods.
GLAUCON: Wait, what? Surely we all believe in the gods atop Mount Olympus.
TORIES: No, not me.
JMFCSTES: There is only one God. Currently He is only worshiped by the Jews, but four hundred years from now he will send his only son to redeem us all. For it will be written, in a few centuries: "yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live."
BRTDES: No way I'd believe that. Maybe after a couple of thousand years their services will get more interesting, but for the first nineteen centuries or so it will be just a bunch of old men talking. Why would I go for that when I could go see the hot new Oracle of Delphi predict the future while waving her hands in the air?
NATHANES: I too believe that there is just one God, but the truly sophisticated position is to realize that the importance about religion lies not in the so-called objective truth-value of whatever metaphysical theses about the external world it might be interpreted as making, but rather in its providing structure and guidance to a personal spirituality that I recognize also is present with many adherents of Olympian polytheism.
GLAUCON: Now I'm totally lost.
SOCRATES: As am I. But luckily we don't need to settle these issues about Gods, as I see another problem with these "high-income seculars". Did you not say, Tories, that they were merchants, who had obtained a lot of money?
TORIES: I did.
SOCRATES: Now, would we say of a man who was ruled by the love of money that he was wise, or that he did not recognize what was truly valuable in life?
TORIES: The latter.
SOCRATES: So we should look instead to the philosophers. How do the philosophers of North Carolina vote?
TENDERBRANSON: I'm not really sure, but I think they live in a town called Chapel Hill, where they support Obama.
MEMPHES: Wait, what? In America philosophers live outside the big city? Crazy! They must be a lot smarter than our philosophers. All our philosophers want to live right in central Athens, even though a stone hut will cost you ten drachmas a month, just because they think it's the "cradle of Western civilization" or some crap like that.
SOCRATES: So the philosophers support one candidate, and the merchants another?
TENDERBRANSON: Yes.
SOCRATES: And didn't North Carolina vote for one party the previous time in 2008 but the other party in 2004?
TENDERBRANSON: Yes.
SOCRATES: Truly a state with a disordered soul. And is not Mitt Romney likewise the candidate with the most disordered soul, given that he claims to oppose all the more liberal things he said he supported as governor of Massachusetts.
TENDERBRANSON: Yes indeed, Socrates.
SOCRATES: And does it not follow that a state with a disordered soul will vote for a candidate with a disordered soul, so Mitt Romney will carry North Carolina?
GLAUCON: Your logic is clear, Socrates. Thank you so much for settling our dispute.

Dumping on Shakespeare should not be protected by the First Amendment. I consider that akin to treason - worse because it disrespects the English language (which he more than anyone else in its modern form gave birth to), rather than a mere political entity.

You're one to talk. Your opinions on English verse lack all merit. In fact, I'd argue that it's very unlikely that they'll ever gain merit, since they appear to be based on an ear for poetic form so bad that I wasn't actually aware that it was possible before this afternoon.

BRTD, you know I love you, but...

Given the way this thread is worded, probably BRTD.

I would say that the person who is the most screwed in the head is probably Bushie.  Frankly, the man has some severe mental problems that need to be revealed by a psychologist or some sh*t.  And his natural tendencies towards conning people left and right, all in the name of God, is disgusting.  If this were thirty years ago the man would have a multi-million dollar "evangelical" empire with five different Boeing Jets that he uses to bang high priced prostitutes in.  So of course, while I find the poster Bushie a disgusting parasite of a tax paying citizen, I in no way think he makes less sense than BRTD (getting to that in a minute).

Oldiesfreak. . . . . . . . makes some sense.  Sure, his view of politics is illogical and irrational but it's conceivable how someone who has an average amount of sanity and is normal in the mind and maybe even above average intelligence can get around to his way of thinking.  I mean good god, he isn't that much different from some "editors" on Wikipedia (admittedly, you have to have a sh*tload of time on your hands to find that out) in the talk section.  IN fact, given that Oldies at least acknowledges that Know Nothings largely went to the Republican Party, he's a good degree more honest than some wikipedia editors I've come across.  Overall, I'd probably say he makes more sense than either BRTD or Bushie, even with his irrational thinking.  Hell, he probably makes more sense than JJ (who butchers the meaning of polls).

With all that said, BRTD makes no sense.  Like absolute zero sense.  Words can't possibly describe the amount of effort it would take to try to understand, just attempting to make some sense of BRTD.  Because, you can't.  Gay racists make more sense than BRTD does.  Gay disabled racist chauvinists make more sense than BRTD does.  Gay disabled racist chauvinistic animal lovers make more sense than BRTD does.  White Supremacists for Obama/Biden 2012 make more sense than BRTD does.  Homosexual Black Women Directors for McCain/Palin make more sense than BRTD does.  George Wallace voters for Jesse Jackson '84 make more sense than BRTD does.  Communists for Joseph McCarthy for President '52 make more sense than BRTD does.  Republicans for Slavery make more sense than BRTD does.  Mountain bikes with no seats make more sense than BRTD.  Nickelback fans make almost as much sense as BRTD does.

With that said, he's still saner than Bushie.  Which is saying a lot.

Who knew (http://www.politico.com/story/2013/03/rnc-report-gop-scary-out-of-touch-88974.html?hp=t1_3)? In a not so veiled way, the generalized fluff of a text basically is saying that the Pubs need to throw social conservatives under the bus. Either that, or figure out how olds can live to be 200 (what a horrible thought!).

There are many sensible olds whom I would not mind having live to be 200; you might even be one of them.

Harvard taking up the #14 making-a-run mantle from Davidson earlier in the day.  up four at half despite being -4 in turnover differential

I've got UNM as a Sweet 16 team knocking off Arizona in the 3rd round and losing to Ohio State in the Sweet 16.  I've only lost one Sweet 16 team today, but I don't want to make it two.  Let's pick it up, Lobos!!!

this is why I always have had an aversion to getting heavily involved in the bracket thing, it leads to a perversion of the experience, where perceived and selfish self-interest trumps justice and Beauty.  case-in-point: at a high school party in '06 everyone was actively rooting for tourney favorite #1 Connecticut as upstart #16 Albany took a 50-38 lead early in the second half.

What's wrong with rooting for favorites instead of underdogs?  Unless I actively dislike the team, I'd rather see the teams who are actually good play in the later rounds.

this is fascism.

No.  But the idea that you can 'say anything new' seems to me absurd.  Completely derivative is the only possibility for academic work.

What I used to do as a student was sit down, write a ten page paper in about one hour, from notions in my head, and then stick in 'citations' randomly throughout, crediting sources with things they hadn't said at all.

Huh. I was thinking the next post would begin in 1960, what with the collapse of the Socialists and all.

That's considered as well. I as of yet have no "titles" for the post-1920 system, though it may become the "Socialist Era" of politics (1920-1956/60).

EDIT: Though it seems a bit strange to merely chop history into little two decade sections.

It gives me titles for the chapters of my Glorious Textbook Monopoly, which is heavily biased towards the Socialists.

"The Early Republic 1789-1796"
"Jeffersonian Democracy 1796-1824"
"Clay's Americanism 1824-1848"
"The Civil War, Reconstruction, and Republicans 1848-1872"
"A Government Divided 1872-1900"
"Progressive Republicanism Ascendant 1900-1920"
"The Era of Socialist Dominance 1920-1940"
"World War II and the Socialist Decline 1940-1960"
"The Modern System 1960-?"
-Atlamerican History, Jones Publishing, 1962

Oh, my corporation is named the Glorious People's Workers' Democratic People's Corporation (Approved By God Himself [here we have a picture of an R-MI avatar giving a thumbs-up]) For The Education Of Our Most Precious Resource, The Children, And The Moral Edification Thereof, Inc.

And one of those common-sense solutions is to make sure that all Americans who want to marry and make a commitment to the individual he or she loves, and wants to start a family, are able to do so. Families are the building blocks of our society and they are what strengthens our social fabric. And that's why I'm proud to support marriage for all couples.

Gov. Simfan34 (R-NY)/Fmr. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (R-AL) 391 Electoral Votes
Gov. KenyaObama (T-AR)/Sen. Ted Cruz (T-TX) 134 Electoral Votes
Rep. Mondale84 (D-OR)/Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) 13 Electoral Votes

The Simfan/Rice ticket, with its "leftist Marxist agenda", loses the support of the Tea Party, who then create a new tea party, breaking off from the Republican Party. KenyaObama vows that the Islamic, Kenyan, murdering, Southern hating, socialists shall never again rule the U.S.A. The Democrats pick Representative Mondale as their nominee, who picks Senator Warren as his running mate. With the split within the GOP, it looks like the Dems will have an easy victory. However the Friday before the election, phone calls from Mondale84 campaign headquarters are leaked out, tying him to embezzlement, voter fraud, deals with terrorists, affairs with nine of his secretaries, Jaywalking, DUI, granting violent felons early prison release in Oregon, plots to imprison Inks.LWC when he comes to power, plotting to execute billionaires, and stealing puppies. The country is horrified, and many people, even life long democrats rally around the moderate Simfan/Rice ticket. KenyaObama and Cruz do well among conservatives, while Simfan does well with some conservatives he does extremely well with moderates, and also with liberals. Leaving only Washington D.C. and, for some reason, Minnesota to Mondale.

I think Ranch is OK, but I prefer Italian or Bleu Cheese.  As for on pizza, I believe Papa John's puts some sort of dipping sauce in with their pizzas.  I have a book about pizza where the author says that a general rule of thumb is that pizza should not be served with dipping sauce.  Personally, I would probably agree.  Pizza is much too good on its own.  Why ruin such a great classic Italian/American comfort food like that?

Oh? I'm glad you've cleared that up with the experts' opinion.

I'm going to do something quite different for me.  I'm normally not a golf person, but my Uncle who is still here while his wife is in Florida is a huge golf fan.  After I take a nice walk, I am going over to Grandma's with him the next four days and watch the 2013 Master's Golf Tournament from Augusta, Georgia.  I would love to hear his commentary on the biggest golf event of the year.

I started reading this paragraph thinking "Wait, Bushie isn't going to golfing is he?"  Then by the end, I realized that all was right with the world again when I read that you were only going to watch it on TV.

Yes, in 7th grade, by a Dr. Fagan.

He said, oh, I see, you think you are an intellectual, eh? How do you spell that word describing the climatic conditions, and its homonym referring to alternatives. I spelled out "weather" and "whether," respectively, and he said that is pretty good, and he moved on to closely inspecting my package.

And there you have it. I was genetically wired to never be intimidated by M.D's. :P

Seeking leniency from the jury during closing arguments, Cook quoted Shakespeare: “The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.”

Cook started to attribute his quote to Shakespeare when he caught himself.

“I realized that I was in Dade County, Ga.,” Cook says. “The people of Dade County are good but simple people. They don’t know who the hell William Shakespeare is. They may think he’s some guy named Bill from Tennessee, or worse from Alabama, and sentence my client to death.”

So Cook cleared his throat and told jurors, “And that’s from Song of Solomon in the Bible.” The jurors all nodded in reverence.

I assume someone has noted that a substantial percentage of teens getting pregnant not married, etc. want to do so. They assume that the stack is wired against them, and they don't have a future, so why not feel important, and have someone to love, by having a baby?  This issue is not going to be "solved" by having more health classes, or birth control available. It's far deeper and more intractable than that.

Precisely.  Teen pregnancy is the fault - as is everything else - of the ruling class.  It is Bill Gats and Warran Buffet we should be aborting.

Two points:

1. I love when opebo says stuff like this.

2. I can't imagine what his intentional misspelling of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's names might mean in this context.

Sorry, opebo, the thread is locked. However, this was your reply to one post of mine where I mentioned Mad Men.

opebo: All I care about is access to prostitution.

Nathan: That's actually a very effective and succinct answer to the question.

opebo: I watched Madmen, and there were only a few prostitutes, and not at all reasonably priced, so...

I don't know why, but I found it somewhat hilarious, because it made me think about you as a crazy man or as a man going crazy due to the lack of reasonably priced prostitutes. Don't take that into account, it's only that some persons like me have a certain sense of absurdity and even find funny a certain type of humour based on absurdity, which is too fine tasted to all people outside Europe, you know ;) In your favour plays that I can laugh with some of your posts, on the other hand I can't stand memphis.

A related note: I remember an episode of Fairly OddParents (pretty lame show, but I admit I used to watch it) where Cosmo and Wanda appear in 1970 as Bill Gates' fairy godparents (when Gates would've been 15), and he talks about inventing the internet in the future.  I honestly think it would've been funny if they portrayed Al Gore as a child and having Cosmo and Wanda as his godparents while he talks about inventing the internet in the future.  Of course, the producers of the show would NEVER do that (for obvious reasons.)

She has a husband and daughter now since y'all were engaged? She definitely moves fast!

The daughter is 10 1/2 years old, so if we had gotten married, I would have been her step father.  We broke up for the final time in early 2007, and her and her current husband just got married a few months ago.

10 years old?! She must be older than you then.

Haha, no she's almost 21 years younger!

Yes! that's hot.  Thai ladyboys only very rarely remove any genitals - they merely get whopping great breast implants.  Its a wonderful compromise.
You like the combination of large breasts and penises? It's an odd combination.

No the penis is irrelevant for me, but the fact that they've kept it and their gonads means they're their original randy selves.  If they remove that stuff they tend to be rather passionless and moody.

It’s 1980. President Carter in collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood laughs at a suggestion by Sgt John Everyman, Chief of Getting Things Done, to work on a deal to release the Iranian hostages. Sgt Everyman is disgusted and promises his cancer ridden daughter that he will seek vengeance for Democratic mishandling of the crisis. Luckily, Reagan is elected president in a landslide. Reagan and Everyman were buddies back in ‘Nam so Everyman knows he can trust him.

After saving Reagan’s busty wife Nancy from an attack by Muslims who had poisoned her tarot cards, the two set off to make things right in America battling against Tipp O’Neill, the deadly IRA backed terrorist Democratic chief of the Muslim Overlords Ninja Deadly Assassin League Extreme (M.O.N.D.A.L.E) and Reagan’s estranged son Ron Jr from building a device to block out the sun so it can never be ‘morning in America’ again. Everyman fights back against M.O.N.D.A.L.E’s goons but is heartbroken when O’Neill captures his daughter and gives her treatment for cancer in a public hospital where she will surely die after being injected by the deadly virus SocialAIDS.

Just in time, Reagan bursts in with his new sidekick Gorby, who warns O’Neill of the terrible effect SocialAIDS has had on Russia. Gorby and Reagan free Everyman’s daughter with the help of a local televangelist who was jailed for celebrating Christmas and flee to a private hospital. Everyman disables Ron Jr and then faces O’Neill down in the hospital canteen where after a series of blows, O’Neill drops down dead. Everyman finds on his possession a membership card proving that O’Neil was nothing more than a dirty Muslim Communist. Afterwards, Reagan announces he is stepping down. The whole nation is heartbroken wishing that he could be their President for ever and as a final act of gratitude, Sgt Everyman and his ‘Nam buddies blast an image of Reagan on the side of Mt Rushmore.

Guys, I'm running for Stu. Co reporter, and I want your opinion on the speech that I have written.

Here it is, the first draft.
Quote
Now, thank all of you for coming to hear me blabber on why you should vote for me.  If you don’t know me, my name is Jerry Jackson, and obviously I am running for reporter of Student Co.  Now, when we are told to give these speeches, we are told to tell the people why they should vote for you.  Now, I really don’t think many of you want be to stand up here and talk about myself, so instead I will talk about you, the people.  So, let me get this suit jacket off, and get more personal with you guys.  I know you guys have heard promises that people had made, and most are fulfilled, but some, and almost always the best promises, go unanswered.  I can tell you this, I will do what you want, just tell me what that is.  I will not make any promises in this speech, that is not what I do.  I will give you guys results that you need.  So, if you want a person who will give you what you need, Vote Jerry Jackson, Reporter. 

Please post what you think.

Hey, sport. A few years back I ran with Everitt for the office of vice president of Atlasia. We nearly won! Are you excited about my help yet? I have decided to lend you my experience but only if you promise to make the costs for all of the products in the vending machines in the cafeteria divisible by 10 because fuck nickels.

Here is my revised draft of your speech, including actions you need to take.

STAND BEFORE PODIUM, SMILING. SHOW TEETH

Hello and thank you all for taking the time to listen to me right now concerning what I am about to tell you at the present time. If you don't know me, my name is..

SQUINT, LOOK AT YOUR CARDS AND SHUFFLE THEM

...Jackson comma Jerry. I am running for the office of reporter for Student Council. This is an exciting opportunity for me to have extra credentials when I apply for a slightly more upmarket community college. I also am a big fan of reporting and cards, unlike most of us!

PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER. YOU'VE GOT THEM OFF GUARD NOW, GO IN FOR THE KILL

Now, I want to be real with you. That's why I've decided to take off some of my clothes.

TAKE OFF AS MUCH OF YOUR CLOTHES AS IS REQUIRED TO BE TAKEN REALLY

I'd like everyone to be aware as I continue that my nipples are so hard they could cut diamonds. I have no ideas about what to do in this job. I am being honest. I cannot make any promises because I have no idea how much actual leeway in this role I have for setting any sort of policy about anything. This is the student council for fucks sake! What am I going to help do, take the minutes while a couple of blowhards decide what sort of dress code is suitable for the prom? A prom that I will probably not get a date for? No, no, no. All I want is an excuse to not go home for a couple of hours a week. Why?

LOOK DOWN AT YOUR CARDS, COUGH. STICK YOUR BIG TOE INTO THE PIN YOU'VE PLACED IN YOUR $15 DRESS SHOES FROM TARGET, IF YOU ARE STILL WEARING THEM, UNTIL YOU FEEL THE TEARS FLOWING

Because my mom is a nympho, and every time I come home from school she's either riding my Dad, or one of your dads. I can't take it anymore. I'd give my left nut, and bear in mind that's like my favourite one, to not have to put up with that sh**t when I get home.

COUGH, WIPE THE TEARS AWAY WITH A TISSUE. BEFORE THROWING IT AWAY, SNIFF IT AND PUT THAT MILDLY PLEASED LOOK ON YOUR FACE. NOT A FACE THAT SAYS "THIS IS A DELICIOUS RISSOTO!!" JUST ONE THAT SAYS, "THIS IS THE THIRD DAY OF 75 DEGREE WEATHER IN A ROW, HOW NICE" LOOK BACK AT YOUR AUDIENCE. IF THEY TOO ARE CRYING, YOU'VE WON THE VOTE.

Thank you all for your time, and remember: Vote for Jackson! A vote for Jackson is a vote for the children.

THis is proof positive that the future belongs to the Democrats and that Obama is the most transformative figure since FDR, only more successful.  When Hillary runs in 2016 it will be the death knell to your corporatist fascist party as she takes all states except Oklahoma, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Alabama.  Your Congressional losses will be so staggering people will swear you were the Whig Party and that it's 1852.

1. Will Rogers died in a plane crash.
2. This airport is the only one to have 'World' in its name rather than the more customary 'International'.
3. You cannot fly to any international destinations from this World Airport.

If you think that all US Presidents since Reagan have been pretty bad (like Jeff apparently does) its not absurd to say Clinton was the best of them, even though "he wasn't a good President". In that case he was the best of a bad lot.

i think that requires a very careful analysis of some of nixon's other policies. probably more so than i am capable of offering quite honestly. but i will try anyway. please forgive the very brief summary:

- he enacted his secret plan to end the vietnam war and showed how ahead of his time he was by adopting a surge strategy. that the us only saw 15,000 american and 500,000 vietnamese deaths following this decision speaks to his foresight and clear-eyed realism. president obama should take note. perhaps reinstate the draft for good measure as some civic minded progressives have suggested.
- he launched a humanitarian intervention in cambodia to stop it from falling to the communists. i think since vietnam and cambodia both fell to the communists we can conclude he was right about the domino theory.
- he tried to convince our friends the chinese to intervene in india and pakistan. it is too bad that they did not heed his wise advice, otherwise the us would likely not have as many people hurt by outsourcing today.
- he tried to reduce poverty in the black community by promoting humane birth control measures like sterilization (without paternalistic things like 'informed consent' (http://books.google.com/books?id=FAB-6RzKAQIC&pg=PA170&lpg=PA170&dq=richard+nixon+sterilization+guidelines&source=bl&ots=4g2enDKHGr&sig=Z3Mu9D6l1hUyN5KFtDTa0a_Sick&hl=en&sa=X&ei=t1GOUeW1AtGGqwH0vYBo&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=richard%20nixon%20sterilization%20guidelines&f=false) laws) and abortion (which was of course, acceptable for blacks in his opinion). he also enacted policies that would give millions of young minorities guaranteed access to clothing, healthcare, food and free room and board. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jan/15/jail-reflects-collapse-black-communities-us)
- he passed landmark health reform legislation, creating the system of hmos that so many millions of americans enjoy today.
- he helped enact policies that put a stop to the horrific economic stagnation caused by unions after ww2. undoubtedly helped contribute to present day record corporate profits.
- he campaigned against excessive regulation, then wisely changed course and proposed dozens of new regulatory agencies, then attempted to veto them after a thorough cost-benefit analysis. today agencies like the epa are staffed full of pro-business (http://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2013/01/23/fracking-for-uranium/) individuals (http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/05/11/epa-to-fracking-victims-drop-dead/), with years of valuable experience working in business and government.
- he enacted price controls that were obviously very beneficial to the economy. grocery stores could barely keep up with new demand!
- he took the bold step of declaring a war on drugs, which has thus far cost approximately $1 trillion dollars. (http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-250_162-6480889.html). this to me sounds like a small price to pay given all the lives touched by nixon. it really speaks to the successes of our post-1970s drug policy so many former drug users have not only quit, but even become president themselves.

so overall, like many historians looking at nixon's many accomplishments i would have to say that he was 'near great.' if only he had done more before being taken down by a disturbingly un-civil and un-neutral media. who knows what legislation nixon and his team of policy wonks could have given us.

One of very, very few good Republicans.

 At the end of the day, Huntsman still wants to implement policies that would destroy living standards for the vast majority of the American people and force the economy into a perpetual stage of austerity-induced economic depression. That doesn't qualify as 'good' in my book, regardless of how 'sensible' he might be about things like same-sex marriage, an issue that won't affect as many people as will the job-killing austerity programs people like Huntsman regularly advocate.
huntsman isn't that bad. he also supports liberating the iranians, syrians and making sure the terrorists don't hate us for our freedoms by getting rid of the more pesky ones. i'm glad to see such sensible policies prevailing in the republican party.

Weirdly, it kind of does when it has a thread title as short as "Does this thread make me look fat?"  It's a short enough title that it draws attention to how bulky the I-SC avatar is.  I'd suggest moving to NH or VT, or moving abroad to the UK to emphasize your height.  Or try going with a more slimming color.  I think dark colors make one look thinner, but unfortunately, no black avatars here.  Maybe try being a Republican, since that gives you a dark blue.

Sorry for being so blunt, but you asked!  You're still a lot thinner than I am with my Australia avatar!

Good Saturday Evening!  It is a much better day weather wise today.  It's so nice to see bright sunshine and know that the sunshine is not leading to instability and destructive tornadoes.   In fact, we're supposed to remain dry all the way through Tuesday.  Mom and I were able to get out of the house this morning and exchange my refrigerator that quit cooling yesterday afternoon.  We tried several different power outlets and it didn't come on, so we found the receipt and exchanged it.  Then, we met Dad at Santa Fe Steak House for lunch where I did get a Chicken Sandwich.  It was pretty tasty.  A lot better than I thought it would be.  Mom and I then took a stroll around Walmart for 30-40 minutes shopping, so I got a little bit of walking in at Walmart.  I didn't use my app, because I was so focused on conversing with my mother.  We just got home about 20 minutes ago.  A little bit later this afternoon, I've got to go to the church and rehearse my sermon for tomorrow morning.  I'm hoping we have power at the church, otherwise, we will be having church the old fashioned way.  Outdoors.

Tomorrow, my exercise will consist of about 1-3 hours of swimming in my cousin's pool.  While I don't know how to swim, I can at least glide along the shallow end of the pool width wise from side to side.  I can do that back and forth several times.  I'll also have maybe one or two grilled hamburgers that my Pastor will fix along with some corn and possibly a few cucumber slices on the side for lunch.  It depends on what they have to fix.  I won't eat a whole lot, as I want to be able to swim without being too full.

Actually I almost got suspended about six months before the lie to the cops.

I pulled a prank consisting of showing kids a disgusting video, and my friend was on the sidelines. Basically, friend starts running his mouth on Tumblr about me, I start kicking around the idea of "()ing knocking this ()()er the () out" and "putting this ()ing ()()ing ()()er in his place". I also tell this friend that "I'm in ()ing beastmode" and that "Nobody will ()ing stop me this Monday."

That Monday I came down with the flu. Naturally, this kid tells everyone he knows that I'm faking it. My excuse is that "I'm not Michael ()ing Jordan, I'm not in shape for fighting with the ()ing flu." Thursday, my grandfather dies, and I have to spend most of the next week down in PA for the funeral, and apparently I'm faking that too according to him. This also means I can't go to the Winter Classic to watch my Flyers take on the Rangers. Between those two things, a lot more inks-laden rants and Facebook messages got sent. Then, that Friday, I show up, he doesn't. After the funeral and I return, on the last Friday of the year, I finally see him, hop up, and say "Surprise, ()()er. You wanna talk (), say it to my ()ing face." I just hear him faintly mutter "**** off" and bolt to his next class.

Since it was two weeks since he started running his mouth, I just let that speak for himself.

As Walter mentioned, something is breaking... Literally...  On the way out the driveway this morning just a couple miles from the house, A rock decided to fall from what looked like an old abandoned building.  It's a little windy today, so the wind probably moved some of the branches of the tree to sweep the rock off the building and right onto the upper half of my windshield.  There is a great big crack in the glass that looks like a big spider from where the rock made impact.  I called my grandmother to get the name of the business she used to get her back windshield replaced after the recent hail storms.  I called them and they will replace the front windshield tomorrow at 11:00 am for $180.  Not bad at all, I think!

Hey guys and gals can we go back to this post for a minute?

How did a rock get up there, I mean rocks can't climb or fly or even move on their own

Also how do you know where the rock apparently came from, unless it was like really huge you wouldn't be able to see it until it hit your car

Quote

Is it just me or is this like the worst explanation for anything ever?

How did a rock get on top of a building? Do Oklahoma buildings have roofs flat enough for rocks to just chill on top of them anyway? How does "a little bit of wind" cause tree branches to fling a rock like it's a golf club? Since when does Oklahoma have buildings tall enough (and road frontage small enough) to even make something like this possible according to physics?

Bushie how did this really happen

was some kid throwing rocks at you or was it just because you sat on your window

Two from the same set of commentary:

I see the story is veering into magical realism now.

Wait, how did it fall off a building? Were you driving under it? Or did it just blow it off and the rock floated in mid air to your car? I'm liking the rock throwing theory. Maybe Bushie was playing at a playground with some kids and the teens started making fun of him and throwing rocks. Fearing for his life, Bushie ran to his car and got in but one of the punks threw a rock and hit his windshield.

Sounds plausible to me.

We're starting to hear rumors of a second rock thrower in a nearby grassy knoll.

We better have the whole quote then:

Nice guys don't finish last....they finish in the shower. (Two and a Half Men)

In reality, it depends on the person themselves. It's very easy to generalize and in many cases books can be judged by their covers. But other times it's about perception. Take me for instance.

I never did so much as go on a date until I was 20 years old. I still live at home. Yet I have dated more girls than I can count. What's funniest of all? My biggest time period of dating the most girls occurred when I was without money and unemployed. In fact, my date life has gone sour since I've been making steady money. Perhaps less time focused on getting girls and more focus on getting money. Whatever the case, you would assume working and being around more people and having money would make you more attractive than being unemployed and without money.

There was a girl I dated a year and a half ago, with whom I'm still friends with today. We talk all the time but we just didn't remain in a relationship longer than a few months. This girl is close to my age, and gorgeous. She's hot. She liked that I played guitar and she liked my red hair.

We were a hot item together. I remember one day we spent the whole day and night together during which time we took this picture.

()

That night I went to my work. A girl I worked with who was 19 years old came up to me with an awkward smile. She asked if she could ask me a personal question. I said, "Sure."

She asked, "Are you a virgin?" I was slightly offended. Here I am, just a few hours after doing the naughty with my hot 19 year old girlfriend and another hot 19 year old girl thinks I am a virgin. Later that same night, me and another worker were talking about guitars. Another girl I work with said, "Mike...you play guitar??" I said, "Yeah, why?" She said, "You don't look like you'd play guitar, you look like you'd play the tuba."

Again, I was insulted. These girls look at me and see a redheaded Tuba-playing virgin. When in reality, I'm a redheaded guitar-playing womanizer.

It's the way I am perceived. I do often feel out of the times. One step behind. The best example of that is a picture from after my sister's wedding. All the guys from the wedding party were walking "Reservoir Dogs" style down the sidewalk and suddenly everyone decided to grab each other's hands and jump in the air for a picture. I tried, but as you can see from the photo, I was the only one who didn't think, "Let's all be youthful goofballs and jump in the air holding hands."

()

I was one step behind.

Well here was something else that came to me last night as well. I just realized that hot blonde drunk girl is probably also a Christian. see "hot blonde drunk girl" is what I think of her as since I don't know her real name. I've probably heard it before, I just don't remember it. i doubt she does remember mine either so who gives  a . But i see her at shows all the time, i've bought her drinks before, she's boughtme drinks before, we interact on some level. And she's always ING DRUNK and dances like crazy. she's the one who told  me about her time that she got banned from this club for smoking pot outside, but then she got back in by flashing the doorman like 2 weeks later. haha, like doesn't give a  about anything but pot, alcohol, shows and records. like my ideal person, but probably not a christian. But here she is at mewithoutyou. now yeah lots of nonchristians listen to them, like even Tweed listens to mewithoutyou. ING TWEED GUYS But she was christian dancing. not like normal dancing like everyone does, like CHRISTIAN DANCING. Hand raising and waving, holding them out, and then jumping up and screaming along lines like "THERE IS DEFINITELY A GOD" and "GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS REAL". so you see, that's the type of person Jesus would hang out with today. Not some ing megachurch preacher or suburban church events committee couple. No He'd probably have some pot dealer roommmate, and his other roommate like an art school grad or something like that. He wouldn't drive or own a ing car of course. He wouldn't have lots of money but would buy everyone drinks at shows. it'd be so cool.

also i wish it would cool down here ing fast so girls start wearing hoodies again. Girls look SO CUTE in hoodies.


there used to be a Christian satire magazine called The Wittenburg Door.  They would have published that.

Things are coming along just fine but there is much work to do.  You guys would be proud that I have to drink so much water during the day.  I hope it helps.

Mom is going to talk to Dad while I’m gone.  She knows what my long term goals are and what is in my heart.  Since it’s just the two of them she can share my goals about Kenya with him.  I think he will be accepting.  I’m thinking I can be here full time within a few years, hopefully 2015 but not much later than 2016 and really be a Dad to my kids.

I’ll try and update you again soon!

I was not aware this forum was populated with disgusting childish morons like Marcus Aurelius.

What is your level of maturity, thirteen? 

Oh, sorry, I have just insulted all thirteen year olds by bringing them down to your level. 

Now we know where your mind is at and what your inner desires really are.  After all, if one is obsessed with something, as you obviously are, one will express their true inner desires for oneself by openly making them public, as you have just done.
You have such a way with words as to make literally everything you say seem disingenuous.

Maybe "Comedy Goldmine" isn't the best place for this.  What about "WTF mine"?:

Are you going to tell your dad you want to live full time in Kenya within the next year to year and a half?

Is the dog ok?

I'll tell him when I get home.  The old man needs time to get used to the idea, as well.

He just sent me a picture of JJ, so she's okay. We found out she squats instead of lifts a leg, so she's a girl.

How's the female dog that you guys have for some reason named Jeff Junior doing?

J.J. is growing like a weed.  He's as active as ever and he does come inside during the hottest of temperatures.  We are taking him to the vet tomorrow at 1630.  They wanted to wait until I got home to help them.

I am really confused.  ???

Perhaps the first question to ask the vet: In your expert medical opinion, does this dog have a penis?


Whoops, all that should say "she."  We'll find out for sure from the vet tomorrow. :)

I read the Bible straight through every year from Genesis to Revelation as well as read cherry-picked passages.  I rarely will read just one verse, though.  I have also started reading another Christian book on the side called "Total Church" by Steve Timmis.  I should be finished with that book within the next two weeks and will move on to a book called "Christian America?".  That should take me about 4-6 weeks and then it will be "Normal Christianity" sometime in September.

Counting the Bible as one book, I voted 1-3, with a more defined answer of 2.

Perhaps the most important question is which sexual acts would be legal or would all sex acts be legal if we were to legalize prostitution. I mean it sounds like it could be a problem. Things would have to be worked out and paper work signed ahead of time. Imagine a guy buying a prostitute and after it was done wanted to poop on the female because it's just what t urns him on. Think about it. [...]

I guess it's time to eat some humble pie.

I've been watching a lot of videos by Market Anarchists, Libertarians and ultra-Capitalists on Youtube, and videos by Socialists too, and in watching the Socialist's videos I've been watching the market anarchists videos too, and I've been persuaded by some very good arguments by them. I always had barriers aganist these ideas that were JUST barriers, you know. When you think about ultra-Capitalism it's only about how two people interact with one another, and how they should interact etc, and it's fallen to me.

If they don't agree then they don't have to do business with one another. You know, it's so simple, anybody can learn it, it's effective. I've made a lot of comments on here criticising it, and I've realised how stupid I was. For example, let's say a landowner is living landlocked by a lot of other landowners, and he needs to get off that land to survive basically. I used to think, "well he's trapped, he can't move to a market, he can't get water, he can't go anywhere, without the express permission of the other landowners, and if they said no then he's going to stave to death."

That was what I used to think, but when you think about it it's really that person's responsibility to invent themselves a flying machine, and then they can go right up high into the air, and they won't invade anybody's airspace, and they can come back down and find a land that they are allowed to use.

And I'm sure that they'd be some private company that decides which land people are allowed to go on and off, so you could have these flying machines that just hop around the planet, but only for people that are inventive enough to actually have them.

Related question, non-trolling I promise:  What's with the word 'ask' being pronounced 'aks'?

Many years ago, Pat Buchanan wrote a book in which he suggested that it was a mistake for the US to declare war on Germany in World War II.

I have some Nevadan friends and having known them for years and visited them in Las Vegas it is really hard for me to accept the fact that Buchanan won 21,000 votes in the 1996 Republican presidential primary in Nevada, or 15% of the vote.  Now that I read your post it is suddenly very plausible to me that Nevadans cast those votes.  Ignorance was so nice.  I want it back.

On the bright side, Santa Clause can get some well-needed swimming exercise.

Do you guys think this is funny? We're all missing a huge part in global warming called farts. Gas produced from farting is causing harm to our environment. The more we fart, the warmer it gets. A way to moderate our urges is to limit farts to only when necessary or when it's going to be really funny. For example, it's hilarious to see who can fart the longest and whose smell the worst. However, with new reforms on farts comes sacrifice. Federal or state bureaucrats should always be in attendance of farting contests to ensure our environment isn't compromised for the sake of a few squeakers. Another problem with our environment that needs to be evaluated is the use of toilet paper. Toilet paper is very sacred as we must keep it to a minimum in order to prevent more trees from having to be cut down. It may be hard at first but no more rolling a handful of sheets for one little dab of the anus. We must use our resources wisely.

Don't know if it's a good idea to quote a post that talks about me, but this one made me chuckle:

At a local party headquarters for the PD, Tony sits alone at his desk. To his right lies a coffee mug that hasn't seen coffee in days, whiskey is its cargo these days. It is 2:30am, just two days ago Silvio Berlusconi was announced the next Prime Minister of Italy. Released from prison months ago early for good behavior, many were claiming bribes were involved. Going into the general election, the Democratic Party seemed to have everything on their side. The polls looked good, the voters enthusiastic, and the shadow of corruption over their opponents. Despite all of this, when polls closed, it was announced that the PD would come in 3rd place behind the Pdl and M5S. Behind Tony walked up a mustachioed middle aged man who led the local party, Cristiano. Cris placed his coat over Tony's shoulders and tried to comfort him.

Tony: "...Why...why is he still running?"
Cris: "Because we must chase him."
Tony: "But we did nothing wrong..."
Cris: "He is not the PM Italy needs right now, but the one Italy deserves. We must hunt him."

A week later Cristiano walked in to the headquaters to start preparing for the next local races. He noticed that there was an empty desk where Tony used to be.

Cris: "Where is Antonio?"
Maria: "He left two days ago, renouncing his Italian citizenship. I saw him holding train a train ticket. He told me that he was moving to Marseilles. Then he put on a beret, and marched off."

Larry Craig was foot tapping in a stall to get his poop to come out. When he was out of toilet paper he reached under the stall and asked for some from a man who happened to be a cop. When arrested, Larry Craig was offered a stupid plea bargain to agree to a disorderly conduct after showing the police his senate badge. What Larry Craig should've done is plead not guilty because his conduct wasn't disorderly. He was foolish especially for a U.S. Senator. By pleading guilty to the plea bargain, Larry Craig was basically saying he was doing something he didn't do. Therefore, the Republican Party couldn't defend him because he admitted to a disorderly conduct. Had he told the truth and plead not guilty, then he'd have been fine.

Happy birthday Barry! Thank you for your valiant efforts in fighting against the fascists and their attempts to murder all American poors! We all love you and believe in you!

This proves that Democrats can't even say happy birthday without being partisan. I seem to remember a man named Trent Lott who said happy birthday in his own way to an elderly gentleman named Strom Thurmond and the media painted him as a racist. Who are the fascists who are attempting to "murder all American poors?" Something tells me you wouldn't be able to back your statement up if you tried to answer my question of who those are who are trying to murder all of the American poors so don't bother. This is the exact partisanship that's murdering America, not just who Lief considers to be the American poors.

The difference is that Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond were racists. Obama spends each and every day fighting racists.

No the point is that you can't say Happy Birthday without being partisan.

On this piece of legislation, while I admire Senator TNF's commitment to the American worker, I join President Nix in opposing it. As the President said, as long as the rights of labor are respected, CEO pay shouldn't really be a factor. I also have to wonder how easy it would be anyways for the CEO to find plenty of loopholes to get around this bill.

Tmth, noticed you made a campaign logo for yourself, but I thought it was just lacking something, so I pondered it for abit and made you a new (honest) and improved version in MS Paint! Tell me what you think :)

()

Are you like, twelve or something?

People like you are why this game has lost its charm.  I'm being brutally honest.  I will be enthusiastically endorsing your Senate opponent in October, whether he's to the left (yeah right) or right of you.

::)

People like I are why this game has lost it's charm? Methinks you doth protest too much, Scott. You don't like me much because I, unlike you or half of the people active in Atlasia, actually have an agenda and want to implement specific policies. I am not some wishy-washy, moderate hero that wants to play nice with others because I want everyone to like me. I don't give a sh*t about that. I'm playing for all the marbles, and that's something rather alien to you and much of the Atlasian establishment, for which elections, this game, the whole damn thing is nothing but a popularity contest.

If you don't want pretend politics, don't play the part of pretend politician. I invite you and encourage you to endorse my opponent in October. I don't need your endorsement, and in fact, I'd rather not have it. :)

What the () did you just ()ing say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I became the best governor in the Northeast, and I've been involved in numerous attacks on the Labor Party, and I have over 300 passed bills. I am trained in political attacks and I'm the top participant in the entire Atlasian government. You are nothing to me but just another incumbent. I will drive you the () out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this forum, mark my ()ing words. You think you can get away with saying that () to me over a game? Think again, Senator. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of zombies across Atlasia and we’re putting you in last preference now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your career. You're ()ing out, Senator. They can be anywhere, anytime, and they can take you out in over seven different elections, and that's just in this year. Not only am I extensively trained in cross-party appeal, but I have access to the entire army of the Federalist Party and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the floor of the Senate, you little Lieboral. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" response was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ()ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're going to lose, you goddamn Laborite. I will send my zombies and you will drown in them. You're ()ing dead, Senator.

LBJ, thinking that he's screwed up big time with the whole palatability of this "Civil Rights" thing, backtracks mid-campaign to appease white Southerners he knows he needs for the election. While the ploy works--he even selects George Wallace for Vice President over Humphrey, he alienates much of the country with his obvious racial pandering. Nevertheless, in the North he still takes Rhode Island and Massachusetts due to the Irish being scared of African-Americans as well as VP nominee Wallace's appeal to blue collar concerns. John F. Kennedy, lamenting in Hell, would remark in the post-election breakdown that selecting Johnson for VP was "the biggest damned fool mistake I ever made, and by me being here, you can see I've made a lot of 'em." Nixon goes on to fully integrate the schooling system, appoint the first African-American Secretary of State in Martin Luther King, Jr., and launches a humanitarian mission into South Africa to rescue it from the claws of the racist Brits.

You asked for it!  Includes a few butterflies in addition to the main POD to make this update (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=176707.0) worthy.

Mombasa, Kenya - 31 August 1945
Lieutenant George Bush was in a good mood as he headed back to his ship, USS Mission Bay (CVE-59).  As an officer, especially as a married officer, he couldn't partake of some the rowdier "recreations" many of the enlisted were engaging in during their shore leave. Barbara would have his nuts in vise if he'd engaged in such pursuits.  Besides, with such a good wife it was easy to be faithful.

Antisubmarine patrols in the Indian Ocean were definitely a lot more sedate than his time aboard the San Jacinto last year.  But they had gotten tense whenever they neared the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies.  Fortunately that appeared to be over.  The kid emperor had signaled that the Japanese were willing to surrender.  Things weren't yet official, but it was as good as over.  Still, when the ship set sail tomorrow, they'd be treating it the same as any other combat patrol.  To do otherwise just wouldn't be prudent.

But he wasn't too worried.  Kids were more sensible than adults.  Like those two orphan kids he'd met.  Cute little suckers and they'd even started calling him daddy when they learned he'd paid the orphanage director $35 to see they got a few extras in exchange for guiding him around the city today as if he were a tourist instead of a naval aviator on shore leave. They'd asked if they'd be coming with him, but he'd told them no.  Even if he'd wanted to adopt some kids, there was no way he could bring Barack and Hussein aboard as if they were mascots.

Something caught his eye.  A stray dog.  While hardly rare, this blond doggie was looking a thin, yet had a friendly air about him.  While he probably should just leave it alone, or if he had time, look for its owner, Bushie decided that he'd see if he could bring the dog back.  The squadron could use a mascot.  With that color, Blondie, would be a natural name, but giving a dog the same name as Hitler had wouldn't go over well.  He'd name it after the ship's captain, J.J.

USS Mission Bay - 4 September 1945
PhM2c Nathan looked over the slide carefully to make certain.  Yup, negative.  The Michigander always liked giving a patient good news. Hopefully he'd do the same when he became a lawyer thanks to the G.I. Bill after he was discharged from the service.  "Good news, Bushie.  No more rabies shots for you, but in the future, leave the stray dogs alone, will you?"

Quote from: http://aattp.org/christian-judge-orders-mom-to-change-babys-name-from-messiah-video/

When mother Jaleesa Martin and her baby’s father could not agree on a last name for their child, they had to let a Tennessee court decide for them. The new parents certainly weren’t expecting to be forced to change other parts of their son’s name, which was originally “Messiah DeShawn Martin,” as well.

Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew refused to let the word “Messiah” be used in the child’s name, saying:

"The word Messiah is a title and it’s a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ."


This sanctimonious busybody was asked to intervene in determining the child's last name, and yet still felt compelled to force her own worldview upon the parents' choice of first name as well.

Small government, indeed.

I thought the religious wingnuts were looking forwards to the coming of the Antichrist.  So why would one try to forbid him from being properly named?

He began furiously hitting away at the keys on his keyboard, like an abusive spouse furiously hits his or her spouse. Triumphantly, he hit down on the left mouse button--in much the same way an abusive spouse hits down on the battered mother or father of her or his children--posting the thread.

Lol, and you dare to claim any knowledge about U.S. political history ::)

First of all, Brooke was the liberal one in this race to such extend people like freaking Barney Frank endorsed him over Tsongas. And he wasn't just "the more liberal out of two". He was a liberal. I know a "Black Republican" somehow play to your baseless fantasies, but there are some limits of stupidity.

Second, calling Tsongas uber-liberal is a proof of an utter ignorance. Seriously, read about him and his positions.

I was going to cut this down to just the "Loving on kids is real and its not predatory" sentence, since that's the funniest one to me, but as I read through it... the whole thing is just way too funny to not include it all.

You guys are sick.  Real sick.  For starters, I look nothing like a child molester.  To say I do is just ridiculous and borderline libelous.  I have a lot of children in my family, so I have a lot of birthday parties to go to.  I've got another one coming up in September and then two in November.  Loving on kids is real and its not predatory.  I want to adopt those children because I love them.  Being an unemployed 31-year-old living in his family's trailer is not shameful and not predatory.  I am not morbidly obese, I am just obese.  I dress decent enough and my hair is okay.  Tourette's is what I take exception to and am offended by.  I have no control over my Tourette's, so how is that predatory?  I act perfectly normal and love being around adults and children alike of all ages.  These are outlandish goals sometimes, but I do deal with reality and I am dealing with reality.

In fact, both of these posts by Lief and Eraserhead are borderline libelous.  You are trying to destroy my good name.  Yes, Inks, I do have a good name not defined by you.

one of my theories is that the dems will turn more into the Al Sharpton party which will cause a lot of white liberal defections to the GOP. So the dems then become a patronage-ridden race hustling party while the republicans become the white liberal party. You already see this type of stuff happening in New York to some extent.

From the same thread:

Winnie the Pooh is a Democrat, well meaning, but his love of hunny (i.e. tax dollars) leads him into trouble.

Piglet is the average voter. Interested in politics, but not set on any one particular idea or platform.

Kanga is the the average non-voter with no interest in politics.

Tigger is your Occupy Wall Street type.  Well meaning, but with no plans or reasoning ability and causing at least as much trouble as he solves.

Rabbit is a moderate Republican.  Always worried that others, especially Tigger and Gopher, will ruin his garden, but not a unkindly soul.

Owl is your typical Libertarian.  Full of grand ideas, but no common sense.

Eeyore is a Paulite.  He's certain everything is going to pieces.

Gopher is your typical Tea Party Republican.  He generally messes things up and has a unhealthy obsession with blowing things up.

It's okay barfy.  Some people just have very delicate sensibilities.

Nah, if anyone had delicate sensibilities he would have pointed out long ago the grammatical error in the thread's title.  The objective form of the personal pronoun, whom, would have been correct.

I think it has more to do with the volume and quality of the posts.  I know I make some long posts that people don't read, but my posts are infrequent, and therefore precious.  Like diamonds.  Too many meaningless posts and they become like pebbles that just get in your way.  Those whose intellectual capacities are not sufficient to overlook them will resort to the "ignore" feature.  You gotta go away once in a while.  Find something else to do.  Make friends.  Talk to real life people about stuff.  Anyone who posts every thought that occurs to him is bound to annoy.

As much as the forum's contingent of naive and uneducated blue avatars masses would like to believe otherwise, the future belongs to the Democrats.  Despite election loss after election loss and being in a permanent minority status, Republicans continue to lie to themselves, just like they do on basic science.  Republicans will never win another election ever again, because voting trends are set in stone.  2014 will see a net gain of Democratic House and Senate seats and in 2016 the Democrats will win a filibuster proof Senate and over 270 House Seats when Hillary Clinton wins a massive 450 vote landslide.

So cry home to mama all you blue avatars.  Nobody wants to be your friend anyone.  By this time next decade you will be lucky to be competitive in Oklahoma when the GOP starts debating which day Adam and Eve rested.  People everywhere are seeing that Barack OBama is the greatest president in a generation and has brought back true liberalism to America.  So stop hiding behind corporatist hopes and dreams and put down that cigarette before you die of lung cancer, you shills.

For those who don't know where my username came from, I'm not completely crazy:


 I’ve been looking around trying to find out if the Obamacare delay is for the rules, penalties and such, a delay in the funding or both. I mean, if you’re todays politician you take the money and say we just won’t enforce the rules for a year. Kind of like how immigration is handled.  In any of the events that the legislators narrowly agree on, tomorrow, Obama continues the transformation with his favorite human will killing drug sloth with or without citizen approval.

 There are not many questions left for the why such a submissive Obama state must be imposed, when pre-Obama health was a known cost with remarkable results for the majority and charitable health care for the poor at a fraction of the cost than what Obama will serve, the question is, how can so many people know what Obama is serving up will be better for them?

Is it blind faith that a black man would never betray the poor, profit from having an advantage?

Is it because he is allegedly college educated, written law reviews never published?

Is it because he wanted revenge on the wealthy, especially if they were w%$#@ ones like Romney?

Why the trust?

Austria: formerly AEIOU, with one possible meaning being Austriae est imperare orbi universo (It is Austria's destiny to rule the world). Get over yourself kids. Should we bring up Austria-Hungary's war record?

Bahamas: Forward, Upward, Onward Together Almost as bad as some kitsch airline slogan. Try again kids.

Barbados: Pride and Industry. Industry in Barbados? ()

Belgium: Eendracht maakt macht, L'union fait la force and Einigkeit gibt Stärke (Unity gives Strength). Gold medal for irony.

Belize: Sub umbra floreo (Under the shade I flourish). Is Belize a flower shop or something?

Botswana: Pula (Rain). ... Now introducing Canada's new motto: "Snow."

Cape Verde: República de Cabo Verde (Republic of Cape Verde). Our motto will be our official name. That's really awesome, no? No.

Gibraltar: Nulli Expugnabilis Hosti (Conquered by no enemy). Read: Suck it, Spain.

North Korea: 강성대국 (强盛大國, Gangseong Daeguk) (Prosperous and great country). ...

Luxembourg: Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn (We wish to remain what we are). A tax haven.

Mozambique: República de Moçambique (Republic of Mozambique). Portuguese Africa: Unity in sh**tty Mottos

Nepal: जननी जन्मभूमिष्च स्वर्गादपि गरियसि (Mother and motherland are greater than heaven). Godless feminist liberals.

Ottoman Empire: دولت ابد مدت (The Eternal State). How'd that work out for you guys?

Panama: Pro mundi beneficio (For the benefit of the world). Check out our drugs guys - For the benefit of the world.

Portugal/Estado Novo: Orgulhosamente sós (Proudly Alone). A real neckbeard motto!

Prussia: Suum cuique (To each his own). Piss off.

Syria: وحدة ، حرية ، اشتراكية (Waḥdah, Ḥurrīyah, Ishtirākīyah) (Unity, Freedom, Socialism). Told you Assad was a True Leftist. Leave Assad alone guys :(

EPISCOPALIAN

Oh My Lord

Words by - T. Ken Theepis
Arrangement by - Donna B. Sutch, A. Prude.


Oh my Lord, you are my Lord
Because I was brought up to praise you Lord
And if I wasn’t, then when I had a spiritual crisis Lord
I followed you as the culturally dominant faith Lord
So that I need not make a theistic choice Lord
Between competing beliefs that have similar claims of revelation Lord
Because that would be uncomfortable and require effort Lord
You are my Lord

Oh my Lord, you are my Lord
I believe you were the son of god my Lord
I’m not too sure about the tombs of Jerusalem bit Lord
When thousands of cadavers met their relatives Lord
It seems a bit far fetched but I can internalise it Lord
And accuse detractors of missing the finer points Lord
Besides there must be something out there Lord
It’s you my Lord

Oh my Lord, you’re my Lord too
I have internalised shame thanks to you my Lord
So I constrain my wife, close off my children Lord
From the wider world and other ways my Lord
I hate the gays, I hate the gays Lord
So I give blow jobs at gas stations and scrub myself till I bleed my Lord
For you my Lord

I’m the Lord, yes I’m the Lord
He’s a reflection of my worldview is Lord
He’s liberal Lord, He’s conservative Lord
He’s literal Lord, He’s figurative Lord
Like’s women Lord, wants them in the kitchen Lord

I didn't of course choose a Quaker hymn for obvious reasons, besides they are pretty much amazing anyway because a little self reflection over mass participation seems to yield them very insightful and sensible results.

The Rick Santorum ‘Make-a-Movie’

Steve/Joshua/Eli is a 34 year old war veteran/doctor/football star who is suffering from depression/alcoholism/drug addiction and has seen his life spiral into decline. His wife Carol/Amy/Mary a homemaker/stay at home mom/homeschooler urges him to seek help. While at church/mass/after church event, his wife prays for help and speaks to the priest/minister/pastor for guidance. Meanwhile her husband is too busy spending time with his buddy Abdul/Jose/Gaylord drinking and reading Harry Potter/Richard Dawkins/The Koran. His buddy has no concern for him and encourages his rampant behaviour. Steve/Joshua/Eli breaks down. Meanwhile at the local school a Muslim/homosexual/woman takes children hostage during the production of The Nativity/Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat/Dinesh! A Very D’Souza Musical.

Steve/Joshua/Eli hearing of the disturbance and his families prayers for him, bursts into the auditorium and disarms the hostage taker using his army training/administering a sedative/kicking abilities and frees the children. He is a national hero. He goes to his wife for a loving kiss on the cheek/heterosexual handshake/side hug and thanks God.

The End.

Well to be fair he did (at least we're assuming) get lucky in the bar instead of going to one of their places to have sex, so he obviously views "gun control" with no small amount of contempt.

Politically: my formative years were spent in a Democratic household during the Bush administration as Obama was beginning his meteoric rise. Considering my ethnic background and increasing affinity with cosmopolitan cultural activities, this destined me to eternal religious devotion to the Democratic Party. In my life, the narrative of the fight between Democrats and Republicans is one that reflects personal conflicts with Republicans representing everything that is evil and Democrats being the "good guys". Recently, I've realized this will probably not change with maturity.

As far as ideological identification goes, I've been all over the place. I don't hold coherent views and am still attempting to reconcile dissonant viewpoints. My love of history and working class heritage made me a self-described socialist at a young age but my American upbringing left my susceptible to standard refrains about liberty: I had a love affair with a libertarian approach to social issues in high school as a result of this. College turned me into a feminist and wiped this belief system away. I now identify with Marx, socialism and the historical struggle of the radical left but I also identify with the promise of capitalism (economics major) and a few other liberal beliefs to a degree. Increasingly, I've discovered that I am actually a leftist: being in contact with the elite has made me self-aware. The likelihood of me disavowing the idea of using markets as a mean to an egalitarian end is high.

Religion: went to church weekly until high school, then became a militant atheist before chilling out with marijuana and staying a calm secular person. I'm now rediscoveing religion as a 19 year old. Godless modernity leaves a lot to be desired. As my civil religion appears flaccid and weak in the face of the triumphant global consensus, maybe I can find consolation in rituals steeped in two thousands years of history?

Great guy. He's made a few minor grammar mistakes, so I've taken the Liberty of writing a few notes for him.

•The first word in a sentence contains a capital letter.
•If there's a pause in the sentence then a comma is necessary.
•Make sure to watch the way you use vowels. You seem to be using A, E, I, O, & interchangeably. It is an understandable thing, this website may help. (http://www.abcfastphonics.com/vowel-letters.html)
•Names and proper nouns also begin with capital letters.

Follow these notes and you'll be on your way to writing on a 4th Grade Level ;). I'll have a 10 Question quiz scheduled for Wednesday.

Yeah, I can imagine you saying that while we're watching the movie. And I look at you with one eyebrow raised and say, "Dude, it's just a Disney cartoon, relax." Then we bump hands reaching into the popcorn and you flip out because you put yours in first so I don't have a right to any of the popcorn. And later you'll draw a comparison with how the Genie is clearly a metaphor for the welfare state. And I'll sarcastically ask you what that makes Iago, and you fumble around for a second before saying he's "the media or something.. maybe the teacher's union!" At that point I go into the kitchen to slam back a couple of Advil because of the pounding headache you've given me. And God help us when you hear that line in one of the first few songs: "I steal only what I can't afford - and that's everything." No. No, I would not watch Aladdin with you.

dinner at buffalo wild wings.  seems like the latest diet didnt last long.

Worst part he probably didn't even get wings.  He probably ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger.

I can't imagine eating so blandly.

How'd you guess?  That's exactly what I had.  I did have Coke Zero.

I know you will ignore this as, despite your protestations and your unconvincing attempts at JAQing off (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/JAQing_off), your prime purpose is for attention. I suppose you think this enlightens your day and amuses you. Well, it doesn't, it only confirms that you are the most pathetic human being that I ever encountered in any setting, ever. Indeed your patheticness is of such magnitude that it goes beyond the conceivable. It doesn't just go up to 11, but up to 12, 13 and blasting towards infinity. Reading your posts, which I don't try to do often, literally makes me lose the will to live and is perhaps the best argument against liberalism I have ever encountered; as it is clear that we are all not equal and certainly not virtuous.

You do realize that you should have banned ages ago? And only the, ehhmm, 'lax' modding of the place has prevented this. So all I can say now, is GO, for the love of God, GO. GO. GO. GO. GO. And stop making your life into a freak show so that the attention you so cravenly whore after is acknowledged because it 'amuses' some people here. So let me repeat. GO. GO. GO. GO NOW. GO. GO.

Well that's my vent for the day.

If engaging in a fully fledged hate-on for a group of people Who Are Not Like You seems to Make Sense on some level, then it is better to consider why you feel this way and to probe your own biases, assumptions and prejudices (we all have them), than it is to loftily declare that Islam is barbarism or the like.

Too bad 30 Rock isn't around to do an episode where the show has to sign up for Obamacare.



edited to add wow I really miss 30 Rock :(

I want this to happen so bad. I'm going to pretend it's happening anyway...

Liz: So Jack, you get your Obamacare yet? *attempts to playfully punch Jack's shoulder*

Jack: Lemon, what have I told you about putting those meaty paws you have for hands on me? This is an office, not the squash court at the Harvard Club.

*Liz awkwardly puts her hands in her pockets*

Jack: And to answer your question, yes, Lemon. Even though it's unconstitutional, even though it goes against free market principles by forcing rich people to follow rules...I have purchased not just any insurance plan, but an insurance plan that is rated Platinum by Healthcare.gov. This plan is so exclusive, you can't even sign up for it without being invited to.

Liz: I thought the whole point of Obamacare was that everyone could sign up...wait, did you get the website to work? I thought no one could get it to work.

Jack: Lemon, I'm Jack Donaghy. I have the cell phone numbers of every CEO of every major health insurance company in America in my contacts list. You don't really expect me to engage in that sort of minutiae myself, do you? I mean that's what I pay Jonathan for...JONATHAN.

*Jonathan runs into Jack's office*

Jonathan: Yes Mr. Donaghy?

Jack: Where is Tracy? He was supposed to be in my office half an hour ago to discuss how his new health insurance was going to figure into the compensation package in his contract.

Jonathan: I'm afraid Mr. Jordan just called. He's going to be a little late. He's been arrested.

Jack: Good God, what happened?

Jonathan: He said he was arrested for a stop-and-frisk.

Liz: See, Jack? I told you those laws unfairly target black men.

*door flies open; Tracy enters the room; Grizz and Dot-Com follow behind*

Jack: Tracy, what is going on? And how did you get out of jail?

Tracy: I had Grizz and Dot-Com bail me out.

*cutaway to courtroom*

Judge: Tracy Jordan, your bail is hereby set at $5,000.

Tracy: Oh, so you think just 'cause I'm a black man you gotta lowball me like I can't afford bail money? Bitch, I got $10 Gs in my underwear!

Judge: Okay, your bail is hereby set at $20,000.

*end of cutaway*

Liz: Wait a minute, what did you get charged with? I thought you were just subjected to a stop-and-frisk.

Dot Com: He stopped a woman on the street and frisked her.

Tracy: She looked suspicious. Who knows what she was hiding under her coat?

Grizz: She was pregnant!

Tracy: We do not know that! It could have been a tiny little Chinese dude pretending to be a fetus so he wouldn't have to pay to ride the subway! You know how stingy those people are!

Jack: Well the point is you're here and we need to get this whole health insurance thing hammered away before contracts come up for renewal.

Tracy: Oh I got that covered Jackie D. Obama's going to mail everyone free iPhones and when you're sick, you just call and a doctor comes and visits you for free. *whispers conspiratorially* But it's only for black people.

Jack: ...who told you that?

Tracy: I'm more up to date on current events than you think. I read it in Newsweek.

*Dot Com holds up a copy of Newsmax Magazine*

Dot Com: Tracy, Newsmax and Newsweek are not the same thing. 

Jack: Oh dear...don't worry, Tracy. From now on, I'm going to have all the TVs in the lobby set to CNBC all the time. It's like Fox News but for people who went to college.

Good enough to cross-post here as well as the Gallery:

()
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

()
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

()
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

()
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

()
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

()
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

()
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

()
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

()
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

()
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.

()
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

()
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

()
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

I also like that as a game it actually encourages church attendance. Churches are usually portals, so just claim your's, slap some multi-hack mods on, and then hack away during the service. Of course if you go to a Catholic or "high" church most people probably wouldn't approve but hey, I get to play video games at church now too!

I've tried to use some personal examples of why people shouldn't make such predictions and with such certainty but people still don't listen. ;)

By the way, while I was wrong about Casey running for the Senate, anyone with a brain that follows PA politics knows he has always wanted to be Governor, would have preferred it to being Senator and will almost definitely run in 2018 if it is open. If not, I could see him simply not seeking re-election to the Senate.

That's unfair to Sarah Palin. She put the Republican healthcare platform about as eloquently as one can. 

There is no Republican healthcare platform.  They just have a few cliches they invoke when the issue comes up: tort reform, competition, across state lines.  It's all meaningless.  Republicans know that any real, effective reform, whether liberal or conservative, poses a major threat to the profits of major industries that provide insurance and healthcare.  Republicans just want to continue the status quo and help these industries strangle the middle class while letting the poor just wither and die if they get sick. 

Well, remember, Obamacare is the Republican plan. ;)

Even better it's shorter than 2,700 pages along with millions of pages of bureaucracy and regulation. She can even fit her plan on her hand as if it were a grocery list. See how simple things would've been had we not elected Obama in 2008.

Gosh, lets repeal the 2700 page law and replace it will some random thing Sarah Palin wrote on her hand. I'm sure that will work out much better.

  • Home invader
  • Only gives presents to Christians
  • Marxian beard, capitalist tendencies - can't make up his mind
  • Outsources the jobs of poor elves to China
  • Fails to set an example of a healthy lifestyle through exercise and eating well
  • Keeps the coal industry afloat, thereby discouraging investment in renewable energy sources

Not a fan.

I understand the handcuffs, but what's the purpose of the chicken?

I want to be a high school English teacher so I'm gonna practice now. -clears throat-

The handcuffs represent how society almost forces young children to still attach themselves to materials and property, so as to become dependent on these possessions when they grow older.  Even though these children might become aware of the fact that society is leading them to an adulthood of dependency upon property, the children cannot break free from the "shackles" that society has thrust upon them. Therefore, the chicken represents the innocence of the children. Their innocence has been slaughtered and handed back to them, and now they are chained to a material-based society whilst holding the dead remnants of everything that made them a child and a human, for that matter. They are now ready to become an adult.

Pretty good, eh?

Because it's a show that's essentially custom made for people like me basically.

Fair enough. The issue is that as far as I can tell almost all of the characters are people like you in some way or another. I imagine that might get a little boring eventually. I wouldn't appreciate Anne of Green Gables nearly as much if every character thought and acted along similar lines to Marilla, or Genji monogatari if Utsusemi and Lady Rokujo took over the whole plot.

(Actually, that's a lie; I'd LOVE Genji monogatari if Utsusemi and Lady Rokujo took over the whole plot, but that has more to do with the other characters than it does with them.)

Now could the Republicans someday attract significant numbers of those who identify strongly with a non-white racial background?  Perhaps, but only if they stop ignoring the racists among them, and the GOP simply is unwilling to do so at present.
My father, who is 25% Mexican certainly doesn't believe that Republicans hate Mexicans; he is a Republican.  My grandmother, who is 50% Mexican doesn't believe that Republicans hate Mexicans; her affiliation with the Democratic party is due to welfare and union issues, not racism by some Republicans.
Given your own politics I would have been surprised that racial or ethnic issues were a significant political factor for anyone in your immediate family.

Still, such factors clearly are at play in the GOP.  The only reason for the whole birther fracas was racism, and since not a single GOP officeholder who advocated that racist theory has been kicked out of a GOP caucus or even censured by the party with loss of campaign support or the like, it is quite safe to say that while the GOP as a party does not advocate racism, it certainly tolerates and takes no meaningful steps today to eliminate it from its midst.
The whole birther thing was not racist its just racial although I think the whole birther thing is a crazy issue. I never heard of a GOP Politician say Obama is from another country that's a first hearing of that for me. 

Okay that settles it guys.  The birther thing was not at all racist and was just some racial matter.   No big deal, we can all go home now.

whitefeelings.txt below -

I get the sense that if I pretended I was white my posts wouldn't be as infuriating to Republicans...

It would actually be even more infuriating. Hypocritical white assholes who get on their soapbox to lecture people who have more important things to be thinking about as to how they should be sorry for their 'privilege', when of course the very same people will most likely have lived the same privileged existence. Take some advice, if people from minorities find this sort of thing 'tin-eared' and hurtful, they should grow a thicker skin and stop whining. It is perfectly acceptable in our society to insult a ginger person for 'having no soul', or to insinuate that every Roman Catholic is a paedophile who lurks in a confessional box waiting to molest choir boys. Blacks, homosexuals and other 'oppressed' minorities need to grow up and realise that, yes, people can be insensitive, or deliberately hurtful, but that in the end that is not and should not be a crime. Threatening someone is, blackmailing them is, but not making an insensitive joke or a slip of the tongue. Do you really think racism (and sexism and all the other 'isms' and phobias) will be reduced by having a hissy fit every time someone makes a comment like this, a clue: no. It will be reduced by not forcing people to constantly be on edge, fearing that they will lose their career and prospects and then held up to media ridicule if they make an insensitive or hurtful remark.

Now, I'm a very privileged person, at least by global standards. But I'm not shutting up because of this.

I don't think it's wise for a Christian to date outside the faith. There are at least two references (Ephesians and Corinthians) where many evangelicals(I included) apply those verses with regards to dating. Personally I don't think dating as we know it properly prepares one for marriage.

You know, I've had my share of disagreements with Obama, but this just crosses the line.  I've supported this man for the last six years, but now I am done.  Looking at it now, I can't believe I had ever considered supporting someone so vile, so disrespectful as the current president.  McCain never would've taken selfies at a funeral.  Romney never would've taken selfies at a funeral.  No.  Those two, as much as I disagreed with them, are honorable and respectful men, and are far better fit for the White House than Obozo ever was.  Obama is in over his head with his constant arrogance.  I'm sorry I ever supported Obama and I'm sorry I ever supported Democratic candidates.  Next year, I will volunteer all my time for every Republican running in my state and help the GOP secure that Senate majority.  And it won't end there.  Come 2016, me and millions of other Americans will deliver a final blow to this jackass once we elect a respectable Republican president once again.  It's time people stopped buying whatever the media tells them and started listening.  This is an absolute disgrace, but I am confident that the American people will rise up and correct the mistake they made in 2008 and again in 2012.  Wake up, people.  Elections have consequences.

This probably depends upon one's sense of humor, since a guy did get executed and all (and, as Beet points out below, the political context in which he was executed does not bode well for his country or almost anybody in it), but...

Good account of his crimes on KCNA:

Traitor Jang Song Thaek Executed

Upon hearing the report on the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, the service personnel and people throughout the country broke into angry shouts that a stern judgment of the revolution should be meted out to the anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional elements. Against the backdrop of these shouts rocking the country, a special military tribunal of the DPRK Ministry of State Security was held on December 12 against traitor for all ages Jang Song Thaek.
    
The accused Jang brought together undesirable forces and formed a faction as the boss of a modern day factional group for a long time and thus committed such hideous crime as attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party and state.
    
The tribunal examined Jang's crimes.
    
All the crimes committed by the accused were proved in the course of hearing and were admitted by him.

A decision of the special military tribunal of the Ministry of State Security of the DPRK was read out at the trial.

Every sentence of the decision served as sledge-hammer blow brought down by our angry service personnel and people on the head of Jang, an anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional element and despicable political careerist and trickster.
 
The accused is a traitor to the nation for all ages who perpetrated anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to overthrow the leadership of our party and state and the socialist system.

Jang was appointed to responsible posts of the party and state thanks to the deep political trust of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and received benevolence from them more than any others from long ago.

He held higher posts than before and received deeper trust from supreme leader Kim Jong Un, in particular.

The political trust and benevolence shown by the peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu were something he hardly deserved.

It is an elementary obligation of a human being to repay trust with sense of obligation and benevolence with loyalty.
  
However, despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him.
  
From long ago, Jang had a dirty political ambition. He dared not raise his head when Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were alive. But, reading their faces, Jang had an axe to grind and involved himself in double-dealing. He began revealing his true colors, thinking that it was just the time for him to realize his wild ambition in the period of historic turn when the generation of the revolution was replaced.
    
Jang committed such an unpardonable thrice-cursed treason as overtly and covertly standing in the way of settling the issue of succession to the leadership with an axe to grind when a very important issue was under discussion to hold respected Kim Jong Un in high esteem as the only successor to Kim Jong Il in reflection of the unanimous desire and will of the entire party and army and all people.
  
When his cunning move proved futile and the decision that Kim Jong Un was elected vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea at the Third Conference of the WPK in reflection of the unanimous will of all party members, service personnel and people was proclaimed, making all participants break into enthusiastic cheers that shook the conference hall, he behaved so arrogantly and insolently as unwillingly standing up from his seat and half-heartedly clapping, touching off towering resentment of our service personnel and people. :ohno:
    
Jang confessed that he behaved so at that time as a knee-jerk reaction as he thought that if Kim Jong Un's base and system for leading the army were consolidated, this would lay a stumbling block in the way of grabbing the power of the party and state.

When Kim Jong Il passed away so suddenly and untimely to our sorrow, he began working in real earnest to realize its long-cherished greed for power.

Abusing the honor of often accompanying Kim Jong Un during his field guidance, Jang tried hard to create illusion about him by projecting himself internally and externally as a special being on a par with the headquarters of the revolution.

In a bid to rally a group of reactionaries to be used by him for toppling the leadership of the party and state, he let the undesirable and alien elements including those who had been dismissed and relieved of their posts after being severely punished for disobeying the instructions of Kim Jong Il and kowtowing to him work in a department of the Central Committee of the WPK and organs under it in a crafty manner.
 
Jang did serious harm to the youth movement in our country, being part of the group of renegades and traitors in the field of youth work bribed by enemies. Even after they were disclosed and purged by the resolute measure of the party, he patronized those cat's paws and let them hold important posts of the party and state.

This probably depends upon one's sense of humor, since a guy did get executed and all, but...

It's not just one guy though. If the reports are true Jang was in favor of moving North Korea towards the path of Chinese-style economic reform as well as opposed to the "nuclear-first" policy which held North Korea's nuclear program as non-negotiable. If he had won whatever power struggle evidently took place, it could have sharply reduced the chance of nuclear war and increased the living standards for the North Korean people. Also, since executions among North Korea's top leadership are so uncommon, this could scare a lot of the generals in carrying out orders from Kim Jong Un even if they are highly imprudent or suicidal. The best thing to happen would be for someone close to Kim to put a slug in his head.

As we sit around our Christmas trees this season, or in the cases of our liberal friends, their Eco-Friendly Holiday Trees, we remember one thing that unites all of us in a common good. The fact that we are all children of God and all live in a nation founded under God.

To all the negative naysayers and far left liberals, I'm back with a passion and so you best be on your toes.

Very much an FF, even though he likes to have Selbstgespräche in the Austrian thread. :)
English does like to adopt words from other languages... kindergarten, coup d'etat, etc etc.  Selbstgespräche probably won't be one of them.

You have to add a little sarcasm to make it properly English... "Tender enjoys the sound of his own voice in the Austrian thread" or "Tender really is pleased with his solitary wall-o-texts in the Austrian thread"

But what this really gets down to... is Tender needs to recruit more Austrians to this website.  I know they tend to be an insular bunch who care much more about whether there'll be enough Wurstsalat or Schnitzels at the Biergarten for the whole family or whether Oma brought enough of her homemade Schnapps... but we can surely come up with more than one!

I'd help but no Austrians I know would fit in here.  At all.  After the unfortunate shrinking that seemed to take place in Austria throughout the 20th century, maps are just depressing to them.

He's a clown who provides much amusement.
But a horrible, horrible man who should be exiled to Syria along with the rest of his flock.

I agree with the first part, but what is it with you and exiling people to Syria?

As you probably know already, I'm part Persian, and our nation has traditionally exiled its political opponents to godforsaken Arab hellhole states. Unfortunately, the UAE including Dubai is no longer a suitable option as it has become much less devoid of infrastructure within the past few decades(even if the people are still bereft of culture and understanding), so I think Syria is a good potential option for the time being.

How ARG conducts their polling:

First, numbers are picked randomly out of a hat
()

Then, through a contract with the local school district, third grade students are told to take the numbers and use them as variables in the "The Supersecret Highly Intelligent Turnout formula", hereafter known as The S.H.I.T. formula
()

It doesn't matter if they do the math correctly - that's what the margin of error is for

ARG then randomly calls a number determined by The S.H.I.T. formula. Racial turnout is based upon what color pen the third-graders used
()

ARG then subtracts 7 from one of the candidates totals, 'cause 7 is their lucky number

NOTE: ARG is currently considering switching to a new polling methodology involving bloodhounds, a bundle of bananas, and a bingo parlor off I-67

A classic entry.

Mormons are far too well-behaved for such things.

But when they announced the decision on the news, I heard that one Mormon man in Provo excused himself from the dinner table, went into the bathroom, shut the door, stuffed a towel under the door to soundproof it, and said "Gosh darn it all to heck!" It was quite the scandal. Everyone in his ward is talking about it.

Article 1 Section 8 and the 10th Amendment apply in this case. Keep standing against this activist judge and enforce the ban in the name of the Constitution.  Liberty without Morality is anarchy

Recently, one of my teen Friends was ordered to appear in front of the District Attorney for sending pictures of his gentails. The also underaged lady did tell him before he sent it that it was fine and would not bother her. I expressed concern like most people, but not on the sympathy level on the political level instead. I feel his first amendments rights were violated for no one was harmed and the other lady on the cell phone was not bothered so it did not violate her rights. My bill that yes I have sent to my local state legislator included:
Legalizing sexting
Banning underage pornography
Expanding internet and social rights
People should respect what other people wish to share. I do agree that it will more then likely fill stupid for sending it later, but should not be prosecuted for it.

How to de-wussify America:

2. More smoking and more drinking hard liquor.

3. Fewer cops. We need to settle our disputes like men - with the guns we carry with us everywhere should an opportunity for a duel present itself.

4. Women need to stop using birth control pills and instead birth all the babies she can - with no anesthesia. And her husband is allowed to smack her around every now and then as long as there's no blood.

5. Stop spending all this money on healthcare. Illnesses should be dealt with using the Old Ways - cutting off limbs with a hacksaw and using whiskey as an anesthetic and antiseptic.

You can see she's distracted, complaining that there isn't enough salt, looking around for a packet inbetween taking sips of her strawberry milkshake. So you slide on in and steal a fry. She angrily responds with her plastic fork. It hurt, but the plastic just bends and warps. Then you tip her milkshake over, and when she leaves to get some napkins you gobble down her cheeseburger. That's the Mexican-American War.

As a decade long Atlasian, I've seen many ups and downs within this great republic. However, I feel it prudent to announce that I am wholeheartedly against a Marxist Party or revolution in Atlasia.

The ideas of Marxism are thoroughly flawed, and one knows that the only possible way such horrific social ideals can be implemented within a society is by revolution. I fear that the communist manifesto and ideas of such could soon become common place within Atlasia if we do not take harsh action against such negative forum ethics. Let us begin our rally against the Marxists now.

Snowstalker's advanced levels of sagery, are, in my humble opinion, extremely detrimental to the party. An independent study shows that 30 Atlasians died last year in firearm and/or automobile related incidents due to the listening of Snowstalker's daily afternoon drive radio talk show "The Friendzone." If this isn't stopped soon my friends, we might all succumb to the cancer known as true leftism. To those who think it is cute that he has joined our party consider this: EXTREME. SAGERY. KILLS.

One of the easiest answers I've ever given. South Park, duh. What's morally repugnant about it?

Tonight on Some Dude With a Computer: Inside the mind of BTRD

1. If South Park has done episodes making fun of Democrats and/or liberals, then South Park must be right-wing propaganda.

2. If South Park is right-wing propaganda, then South Park must be evil and morally repugnant.

1. If Family Guy has done episodes making fun of Republicans and/or conservatives, then Family Guy must be left-wing propaganda.

2. If Family Guy is left-wing propaganda, then Family Guy must be awesome and the best thing ever.

Went to bed last night after consuming 6 triple bacon cheeseburgers along with a milkshake laced with lead nitrate, and I couldn't help but lie in bed smiling like a 9 year old school girl after getting a pony, when realizing how enlightened 1/3 of this nation has become. I started laughing when I thought of Al Gore's face and some "scientists" who thought that the world's temperature was rising. After a groping of my Ayn Rand manikin, I rolled out of bed, and stepped outside, smelled that beautiful air. I felt enlightened, and rightfully so, I am full of myself. My worldview works.

Those progressive elitists who bitched to us about "destroying the planet" just because we allow corporations to save some money by dumping "toxic materials" into the river were on my mind and I began laughing my ass off. I then felt some water drip onto my hands, so I looked up, and I realized that it was a beautiful day not a cloud in sight, so I obviously began to think "this is odd." My bro Vinny came over, so I asked him if there was rain that I could not see. He replied "no" and began laughing, "dude, you're sweating." "Sweating?" I replied in my cool calm collected voice, "no, no, Vinny I can't be sweating, for the temperature is dropping by the day you see." Vinny looked at me with a puzzled look. "Dude, it's 107 degrees out here." So I angrily shouted at Vinny "don't f**k with me you liberal piece of sh**t!" "Dude, just go to the doctor," Vinny replied nervously. I replied, "yeah that's just what I'll do you hyperbolic asshat! A man of science will agree with me and my mind that the Lord gave to me, not you and your darwinian ape sh**t tossing mind!

I arrived at the doctor's office, Dr. Phosphide looked at me, smiled and began "Good Morning!" What can I do for you today?" "Hahahaha," I began laughing, my asshat leftie puss friend told me that I was sweating, what a toolbox!" "Well, it is 107 degrees outside." Dr. Phosphide replied. I began to scream and shake with rage "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER LIBERAL ASSHOLE AREN'T YOU! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A MAN OF SCIENCE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! SWEAT ISN'T EVEN A REAL THING IT'S ANOTHER HOAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!" I then proceeded to rip my shirt off, and began ripping out my chest hair, I also removed my pants, undergarment, and each and every fabric of non natural mater on my body. I then ran for my backpack that I had brought to the doctor's office with me, and grabbed my assault rifle.

I then entered my automobile, and buckled up in the birthday suit as all. On a side note, with hindsight I wouldn't recommend buckling up in the absence of clothing, a few times when I hit a bump the lower seat belt and my testicles had some, well, "moments." I snorted 3 of my Ron Paul portrait signature crack pellets, and then exited the vehicle. I then brushed my hair and read the sign in front of me Axe Anitperspirant. I ran in to the plant with my assault riffle "all in, balls out" if you will. I started screaming "This is a Holdup in protest of one of the greatest hoax's in the history of the universe: Deodorant! Get the f**k down!"

I was there for about 45 minutes before the SWAT team showed up. They were already referring to me on the local news as the "crack smoking nudist." I saw myself on the TV from a chopper shot they were showing, just as I was thinking "damn, I have a fantastic ass." A sniper attempted to take me out from the window but missed by about an inch. I realized I was doomed, I heard an explosion and saw tear gas, armed men busted through the door. "Drop your weapon, put your hands into the air!" An officer screamed at me, I was about to comply as they threatened open fire, and I knew I was outnumbered and defeated. Just as they were about to cuff and clothe me, the roof of the building came off and a light brighter than the sun shined down on us.

I saw a man with a beard, glowing. He shouted "I am The Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall let this man go!" Suddenly I saw the entire swat team, along with the hostages literally melt at the sight of The Lord. I then asked him "Lord, why did you save me?" "Because my son," Jesus replied, "Axe has had this coming for a long time, selling sh**tty deodorant at astronomical prices. They are tolls of Satan, and you have done my work. It is time for you to return home to the woman of your dreams. I then lay in bed that night pondering all that had happened that day, lying next to Ayn, I began to think "maybe I should visit Old Spice tomorrow......."

If you must know, the originally left-wingers in American politics were in fact the Tories or "Loyalists" of the colonial era, known mostly for their belief in a strong federal government, support of high taxes, and hatred for gun-toting hillbillies and anti-government "big business" types such as John Hancock and George Washington. They'd be the modern day Walter Mitty's and TNF's of the world. Their spiritual successors in America would be the Federalists, Whigs, and finally the Know Nothings who despised immigrants for their reactionary and papist views and had secret societies--the perfect example of typical liberal elitism. It would only be in the Bryan Era that #TrueLeftism (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23TrueLeftism&src=typd) had a resurgence on the Democratic ballot line.

Some great examples of kid logic in this thread:

I remember being asked what party I was by some older relative and saying Democrat because I thought they were cooler. For some reason, I associated the Republicans with a bunch of old people sitting in front of a TV with wooden paneling while smoking. No clue why. I had absolutely no idea what was going in the world.

Could that be used against him? He won only 52-47 in 2012.

Well, it definitely suggests that the press is going to be probing further into his life in order to see if there is a pattern of aggression.  Knowing now that as a man in public service unable to keep a lid on these sorts of statements already once, it seems likely there would be other incidents.


Keep in mind Grimm's highlights of the last few years includes this incident, his major fundraiser being arrested, various campaign finance violations, having sex in a public bathroom, and having it revealed that he waved a gun in a man's face in a nightclub in the late 90's.

In other words, he is practically the embodiment of Staten Island's populace, and will probably never be defeated.

People can be weird about these things.  There are also Christians only, Jews only, and Muslims only dating sites.  Presumably the Hindu all were married at age seven in marriages that were arranged when they were infants, so that one may not exist.  Oops.  I stand corrected.  A google search turns up a large number of Hindu dating websites as well.

Anyway, there are some people who only want to make it with someone who has a particular characteristic.  As bedstuy said, such websites are really good things, not only because they help these people with their insular tendencies, but also because they save the rest of us from awkwardness and frustration.  Doncha hate it when a hot Libertarian chick won't have anything to do with you only because you're a Mao photo-carrying member of the Communist Party?  I know I do.

To be fair, people whose core values are similar have less reason to divorce later.  Also, people lead busy lives, and you can't always count on meeting Mister Right at the synagogue or the Republican National Convention or a Ku Klux Klan rally or whatever, so if that's the only sort of person you want to hook up with, then the ethno-specific dating websites do serve a valid purpose.

Someone with poor eyesight or who has misplaced spectacles? "Defeat" is not particularly bold or in a distinctive color. Showing the politician's image crossed out or upside down might make the point.

I've come to the conclusion that the Tea Party as such is little more than an experiment in Radical Behaviourism. Rather than seeing as a systemic ideology with 'meanings', 'intentions' and, of course, 'history' as well as other mental abstractions and effluvium, the 'ideology' of the Tea Party is merely a set learned stimulus-responses that were adapted to one particular environment - the kitsch culture of the 80s - but are now maladaptive in our present circumstances or among sane people.

Thus an image of Obama - regardless of context - makes them salivate with incoherent rage and acts as an stimulus to perform their 'speech acts': MUH WELFARE, MUH MILITARY, MUH BENGHAZI - like Pavlov's dog. The repetitiveness of this stimulus-response mechanisms merely shows how particularly well-trained, and ill-thought out, these things are with little but other stimuli-responses associating themselves together. Therefore an image of Gun or a Muslim = Obama = DO NOT WANT = MUH WELFARE, MUH MILITARY, MUH BENGHAZI. There is no 'depth' or 'sense' here just learnt associations and stimulus reactions.

ok, Inks, I won't curse you out.  just don't do that anymore.  because you want the numbers to look a certain way.  we all do.  but hey, it doesn't work out like that.  let me tell you a story, Inks.  back in the summer I hung out with this group.  we called it, The Group.  we hung out from mid-afternoon everyday to past midnight.  but then this girl came in.  well, she was there anyway, but she ed sh**t up hardcore.  and one of my friends was in love with her, but it was painfully obviously he'd never get with her.  then another of my friends fell in love with her around August 10th.  and she actually liked him.  but there was a problem.  my two friends that were in love with the same girl, they had been best friends forever.  literally.  so the friend that.  oh who cares.  the point is, it ed sh**t up.  and now The Group is no longer.  and I've tried to wink towards my past, but winking towards it doesn't work.  I've become obsessed with it.  and I want The Group back, but it's no longer.  I want the numbers to look a certain way.  but they don't.  sorry Inks.  it happens.  so don't mess with my entries and I won't mess with yours.  it's better that way.

Yeah, I don't think they're all that clever.  Usually, when someone does a flashback like that, it's because they're trying too hard.

According to the marijuana poll thread a plurality of OK residents support decriminalizing marijuana (though the poll didn't ask about outright legalization, which would presumably have less support).

What's your opinion of these two groups?

I am opposed to all legalization of marijuana.  I'm very old fashioned, but more than that I've seen way too many instances of it killing or seriously harming someone.  I've rarely seen it help anyone.

My friend Jimmy snorted three pots and died when it hit. I apologize if his death photos are too gruesome to show, but they need to be seen. Marijuana overdoses are no laughing matter.

Best post in history:

2008
Al Smith had won a bruising primary campaign against former Clinton Secretary of State William G. McAdoo. McAdoo, a moderate and ally of the former administration, had long been favored to win the nomination given establishment and DLC backing. However, his centrist stances, combined with the Smith call for "change" eventually won over a coalition of urban, working class, Catholic, and activist voters, complete with double wins in Iowa and New Hampshire. While McAdoo struck back in the South, it would be Smith who eventually claimed the nomination. Choosing Senator Joe Biden of Delaware to give himself experience, it was hoped that the Democratic ticket could shift the Republican tide for good.

(
)
Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York
Former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo of California

However, it was not to be. While the Democrats' activists had won out in the primary, it would be the Republican establishment that controlled the GOP's nomination contest. Combining moderate and liberal Republicans with "common sense" and fiscal conservatives, as well as heavy backing from nationally known figures, John McCain would triumph over Bush favorite former Governor Frank Lowden of Illinois. In order to rejuvenate the base, expand on his "maverick" image, and appeal to women, McCain chose the fresh face Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska.

(
)
Senator John S. McCain, III of Arizona
Former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois
Senator James Eli Watsen of Indiana

The campaign would be brutal, however, Republicans would take the early advantage. Lambasting the Empire State Governor as a "Papist" who wanted to decriminalize marijuana, sell out the nation to Rome, ease up on illegal immigrants, and "surrender" in America's wars overseas, Smith soon found his polling numbers falling. While McCain's running mate went on the attack, the Arizona Senator portrayed himself as an above-the-fray statesman, touting his maverick and even "progressive" record during the last eight years in the Senate. McCain promised to revitalize American infrastructure, raise tariffs to protect America's domestic industry, lower the deficit, and ease up on things such as the Bush-era ban on stem cell research. Being hailed by some as the "true face of change" in the election--as opposed to Smith--McCain's numbers would soar. With rumors escaping that Smith wasn't even born in America and in fact was from Ireland, as well as citing alleged radical affiliations to socialist groups and the IRA, the Democratic ticket was doomed. On election day, McCain would be elected in a landslide against Smith, who only took the heavily Catholic states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the liberal Hawaii, Washington DC, and the Deep South. Pollsters and political scientists would credit Smith's victories in the South for a two reasons: the McCain campaign's alienation of blacks as well as conservative disenfranchisement due to McCain's victory over Lowden. Some would as well theorize that, given the moderate McCain campaign, the South chose instead to swing back to its Democratic roots, much in the same way the North had for the Republicans.
(
)
Senator John S. McCain, III (R-AZ)/Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK) 462 electoral votes, 58.22% of the popular vote
Governor Alfred E. Smith (D-NY)/Senator Joseph R. Biden (D-DE) 76 electoral votes, 40.79% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Mr. Matthew Gonzalez (I-CA) 0 electoral votes, .73% of the popular vote
Others: 0 electoral votes, .26% of the popular vote

While McCain was riding high his first few months in, the stock market crash of '09 would doom his presidency. While his administration blamed Clinton and Bush policies for the failure, the American public reacted against the incumbent. Smith's successor as Governor, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., would beat him as well as House Speaker John Nance Garner for the Democratic nomination. Kennedy/Garner would win against McCain/Palin in a landslide in the 2012 presidential election. Smith, bitter with his defeat and disaffected by the Democrats in general, would take a swing to the right and endorse Kansas Governor Sam Brownback in the 2016 election.

From Wikipedia:

Although Coolidge was known to be a skilled and effective public speaker, in private he was a man of few words and was commonly referred to as "Silent Cal." An apocryphal story has it that Dorothy Parker, seated next to him at a dinner, said to him, "Mr. Coolidge, I've made a bet against a fellow who said it was impossible to get more than two words out of you." The President replied, "F**k you."

You'd be better at interviews if everything you talked about wasn't pop.

"What do you bring to our company?"
"Some kind of mild addictive personality disorder."
"What drew you to apply for this position?"
"You have a Coke machine."
"Do you have reliable transportation?"
"I'm constantly nursing a mild caffeine high to make up for my physical inadequacies."
"What does that even mean?"
"I'm not far. I can walk."

By the way, I envision (there's no word I can think of for hearing you in my head, so envision will do in lieu of making something up like enhear) you saying the word "pop" in the most irritatingly familiar way. Really drawn out. Paaawwwp. I'm addicted to pawwp, maaawm. Sprite? No thaaaaynks.

And Senator Tsongas apparently aggreed to bribes to have an extramarital affair with another person while his real wife, who currently has skin, leg, and lung cancer. (spoiler: She lives, and converts to be a "Born again" Christian.) Governor Dukakis, when notified of this, he had a press confrence and said something so innapropreate, no one ever thought he would say such a thing.

FFs because I am one.
Jesus supported social justice in his time.
Democrats support social justice.
Therefore, Jesus would support Democrats.
It's simple logic.

'Social justice' means different things to different people.
Social justice is social justice. A=A. This is a very simple logical law.

Does the Catholic Church's Magisterium mean the same set of issues when it says 'social justice' as such-and-such dot tumblr dot com means when it says 'social justice'?
They are different in practice, but they ultimately mean the same thing.

See, the thing is, A=A is a very simple logical law, but it's not always true of the way people actually use language, so...
I don't know what you're getting at.

'Social justice' means different things to different people.



My retort to that was while their 'social justice' takes different forms, both are, at the core, the same thing.

Your retort didn't really help because it didn't explain how the Democratic Party has a monopoly on that core, as opposed to just certain manifestations of it.
The Democrats do have a monopoly, though. A good gage of the social justice scene is tumblr and when tumblr only supports one party it is the social justice party. There are no republican demisexuals for a reason.

Eek, tough choice given how great both are. Does anyone know opebo's real name (I guess it might be a cool one like Russ Powers)?

How great!? Coming from a guy that literally seems to be in the act of self-castration every time he mentions "feminism"!? And you call opebo of all people great!?


Disclaimer: (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=173996.msg4069114#msg4069114) And please, whoever's out there that's either female or a feminist, don't pop in here with "stop pretending to care about women!" We both know I don't. I merely despise inconsistency in most of its forms, and I especially despise opebo worship.


Russ Powers, obviously. Bushie's ex-marine, no-nonsense CAD teacher easily trumps the Thaiphile in the general election.

Temps will be near 60 with bright blue sunshine.

Now maybe I'm just a spoiled urbanite but I have no idea how that one works.

This explains Bushie's peculiar lifestyle: He's literally living on another planet.


We're shaking around here.  2 earthquakes in 2 hours.  3 earthquakes in 5 hours.  4 in 24 hours.  The last one shook my entire house and felt like someone crashed into my house.  The last two were centered just a mile from my house!

A clear sign that your planet is doomed, Bushie.  Just as Krypton, a planet with a red sun, was destroyed due to the arrogance of its inhabitants, so will your blue sunned world be destroyed.  Just as Jor-El saved his only son by evacuating him from Krypton, your only recourse at this time is to launch Blondie into space, so that at least one inhabitant of your world will have life somewhere else.

Perhaps on Earth, Blondie will have superpowers.

Vega's reply was poorly structured, as can be seen above. Had Vega simply said "The bit candidates who make up the missing 25% aren't listed" (or something like that) it would have been fine. But what Vega actually replied with was essentially untrue, as it's NOT "all there when you look at [it]"

I guess I'm just shocked that there are people in this country who would voluntarily remain in a McDonald's or any other fast food establishment for longer than 30 minutes.

Around here, the elderly Vietnamese people prefer Starbucks because they can get green tea and then sit on the patio all afternoon and smoke.

Interesting.  Denny's was the establishment of choice for upper-division undergraduates cramming for science and math exams back in the day.  If you ordered coffee, they'd refill it all night and let us smoke.  Basically, for a dollar we got unlimited coffee and all the free second-hand smoke we could possibly want, along with a place to spread out books and paper. 

Lately, McDonald's and Burger King are the only places I'd linger for more than an hour, and only then if they have a playplace.  In fact, if they have a playplace we sometimes go into them just for that.  I'll order a coffee or something small to legitimize our visit, but it's the playplace we're after.  There's one particularly inviting playplace at a McDonald's on Manheim Pike near the mall.  It has climbing tubes, slides, bouncers, air hockey, basketball, and electronic games.  They're all free for customers.  My son and I play air hockey there for 30 minutes at a stretch every time we go to that McDonalds, which is probably about three times per year.  A couple of times we even went there while we were waiting on the pizza we ordered at the Pizza Hut next door.  No one ever kicked us out. 

Until I got to this part I was under the impression that we had an "Uncle Tony in an Ice Cream Van" with us.

There's a five-dollar bill in my pocket, just enough for a six-piece mcnuggets happy meal.  My hands are full at the moment but if you could just reach down in there and get it--and I know your little hands are just about the right size for that--then you can have it.  

That sort of thing?  I actually hadn't thought of any of that till I read your post.  Wow, you're a dirty old man.  Bad influence.  And you're probably way too young to be such a nasty old fart, which means that by the time you are an old fart you'll be superbly dirty old man.

It made sense when our political system was degenerating into one giant Tammany Hall, and industrialists like John D Rockefeller had fortunes worth between $400B and $600B, depending on the method used for estimation. The wealthiest 1% also tended to outlive the common man by 20 years. I can understand and appreciate populist progressivism during that era.

Today, our socio-economic problems are created by incompetent progressive regulators.

FDR because of pretty much these comparisons where FDR dominates:

While Reagan was busy giving tax breaks to the wealthy that would "trickle down" to the poor and middle class, Roosevelt was dead, and had been for decades.

While Reagan was busy firing thousands of air traffic controllers for striking for better wages, FDR continued to decompose, perhaps gently rotating inside his coffin.

And while Reagan was busy secretly supplying weapons and aid to the Contras and even Osama Bin Laden, Roosevelt's ghost looked down from the heavens and shed a single tear.

My real life is rather different from what you see online.

In real life, I'm a spokesman for an ancient alien race known as the Shadows, who indoctrinated me after my capture on the planet Z'ha'dum.  Though outwardly polite and gracious, I represent a dangerous hidden agenda.

I can only hope that my associates never learn of my online life.  How would they react, if they knew that I spend hours posting about a presidential election in the United States set to take place two years hence, when said elections are a sham?  After all, my associates already covertly control all major Earth governments, and their power will only grow in the years to come.

Thread: The Final Solution

GPORTER:


()

It is 1933.  After many years of being in the political minority in Weimar Germany, Adolf Hitler and his cronies are on the eve of their finest hour.  Having compelled the Weimar President Paul Von Hindenburg to bestow upon him the Chancellorship in the spirit of independent nonpartisan rule, the party and it's charismatic leader are about to score their most successful victory yet when a mysterious fire at the Reichstag is blamed on the KPD (Communist Party of Germany).  Using the episode to push for the passage of an Enabling Act that would give the Chancellor broad and authoritarian powers to persecute those who he disagrees with as well as force his National Socialist agenda down the throats of the entire populace, Hitler goes to work.  Under his direct powers granted under the Enabling Act he forces thousands of his political opponents into concentration camps, if they weren't murdered before then.
It was on this pretext that he was able to seize power and push Germany into it's darkest era.

Kalwejt: Sorry bro, this isn't realistic.  I mean, Hitler just got thrown into prison for five years.  I really don't see him going anywhere legitimately.  He is through as a political force in the country, as is his party.
Antonio: Yes, Hitler is passe.  I could definitely see this happening under the current regime if the depression in Germany gets even worse than it is now.  But Adolf Hitler?  Hahahaha, the man is a joke!
Mechaman: Yeah man, do a little bit more research next time.  Hitler's political career is deader than Warren G. Harding.
Cathcon: Sir, that is most uncouth of you to say.
Kalwejt: Too soon.
Mechaman: Too soon?  He's been dead for like a year!  Anyway, this needs more details.  Because what you are describing is just ridiculous!  What will Hitler do next?  Kill the Jews?

Why do we have two threads on Fred Phelps?

Because Mr. Phelps had an impact upon both U.S. events (largely by causing disgust and the passing of laws to limit where and when he and his followers could emit his virulent hate) and religion (since he claimed that was what motivated him.  If he were to be limited to one board, this is probably the best one, since few would agree his hate was religious.

It was a rhetorical question.

The childish Romney bashing on this forum is really engaged in by only the most uninformed and closed minded of those who post on this forum.  All Romney bashers on this forum fit into one or more of the following categories:

Closet homosexuals frustrated by their insecurity over their sexuality and who are attempting to sound macho by lashing out at Romney.

Politically uneducated posters who have nothing meaningful to contribute to a discussion and therefore resort to parroting others in seeing who can say the loudest duh, I hate Romney the most.

Posters who have no life and who spend considerable waking hours coming up with untruths and drivel to post about Romney.

Insecure individuals who have the misguided notion than in order to impress others they have to attack a high profile public personality like Romney.

Mean spirited individuals who get their thrills by mean mouthing others, in this case by mean mouthing Romney.

Those who secretly admire Romney for his considerable accomplishments but do not have the courage to admit it, and who are frustrated because they know they will never in their lifetime achieve a fraction of what he has achieved, therefore they are attempting to cover up their admiration of Romney by indiscriminately lashing out at him.

Those who do not have a spine, who do not have a mind of their own, who are easily influenced, who mindlessly go along with the unenlightened crowd, repeating the vitriolic excesses that others say about Romney.

Those who have unresolved issues in their lives that they have not adequately dealt with and would rather take out their frustrations on Romney rather than dealing with their own problems.

July 16, 2019: former President Bill Clinton dies of a massive heart attack at his vacation home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, while having hardcore sex with Vanessa Hudgens. Both completely naked, she struggles to get out underneath him which lasts half an hour. She calls close friends, Monique Coleman and Ashley Tisdale, whom both clean up evidence and call 911.

Clinton dies on the way to the hospital. It's revealed Hudgens is pregnant with twin girls. Clinton's family is not too surprised about how he died: his daughter, Chelsea (now a U.S. Senator from NY St) says her father just "wanted to be loved."

I've always found this a bit odd. Consider the top-grossing movies of 2013 (US):

1. The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence leads the rural working class in resisting a government dominated by cosmopolitan elites.

2. Iron Man 3: A young Romney-esque protagonist uses his wealth to save the world from terrorists.

3. Frozen: Climate change denial cloaked as a children's movie. Enough said.

4. Despicable Me 2: Dramatic tension stems from the main character's struggles as a single parent. Clearly, children need both a mother and a father.

5. Man of Steel: An adventure ripped straight from the tales of Edward Nietzsche.

6. Gravity: Either Cuarón was trying to make 90-minute special effects demo, or this is an extended metaphor for the life of Christ.

7. Monsters University: Satire of liberal academe.

8. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug: Sequel to Rick Santorum's favorite movie.

9. Fast & Furious 6: Celebration of masculinity.

10. Oz the Great and Powerful: Don't leave the United States, because you'll run into all kinds of wacky characters and uncomfortable situations.

You might object that I haven't actually seen any of these movies. IRRELEVANT, I say, because HOLLYWOOD'S CONSERVATIVE MESSAGE IS THAT CLEAR.

Obama, in a rare moment of honesty, at last admits that he's a Republican at heart and switches parties. In a secret occult ritual presided over by the Republican National Committee, Reagan's body is raised from the dead and his soul brought back from the netherworld beyond. Biden is forced to resign and Obama sacks his entire liberal cabinet, appointing Reagan to the Vice Presidency, John McCain to the position of Secretary of Defense, and Paul Ryan to Treasury. The administration's first move beyond internal organization would be allowing the incumbent to run for a third term through a careful re-reading of the constitution. Such allowances were found in the section that legalized "illegal" wiretaps and the like.

The Democrats, in a disarray, sought out the one true champion of liberal progress that could save the country from the arch-conservative Obama and his pal Reagan: David Cameron. Well to the left of several mainstream Democrats, Cameron had nonetheless proved his electability in the United Kingdom and the party hoped he could do the same for America. Beating out Hillary Clinton and Brian Schweitzer in the 2016 primaries, Cameron would be nominated on a platform promoting a National Health Service, similar to the one he had passed while Prime Minister. In order to counter the electoral strength of the due-conservative Republican ticket, famed left-winger and peace activist, former President Richard Nixon was resurrected. Nixon was perhaps best known for ending the brutal Vietnam War, signing arms limitation treaties, and creating the Environmental Protection Agency. A darling of the activist left everywhere, the Nixon pick helped bring the party together for the general election.

I wouldn't out any of these in my top three. Out of these, Washington is easily the best, but if I were required to select these three as my top three, I'd rank them as:

1. Washington
2. FDR
3. Lincoln

Interesting. Why FDR over Lincoln?
FDR's actions may have been terrible, but Lincoln basically took a sh**t on the US constitutional system of government. He sent countless Americans to their deaths (while sending them to kill people he considered his own citizens) in the name of the noble cause of remaining in the same country as slave owners. He centralized power and transformed the US into an imperial military state. Lincoln was basically the real life version of Chancellor Palpatine in Star Wars Episodes 1-3 (though I wouldn't go as far as to say that Lincoln's actions were as criminal as those movies).

So... Lincoln was actually leader of the Confederacy as well and was able to corrupt a young Unionist by the name of Ulysses S. Grant to the Dark Side and have him kill his fellow generals, upon which Lincoln donned a hooded robe and proclaimed himself Emperor? Seems legit.

Agreeing with Adam C. even once is dangerous.

But eventually that's not enough and you'll begin agreeing with even harder headed people and their philosophies.

While in the Hebrew testament YHWH does mete out punishments unto the third or fourth generation sometimes, failing to write a book isn't listed as an offense, so you need not be worried about being damned on that account.  (Considering that the effects of punishing someone severely will tend to cause one's descendants to suffer, I take such pronouncements as referring to such indirect effects rather than direct punishment upon the descendants of the offender.)

If Bushie's family's men's forte is 'out on the grill', and they don't have a grill, perhaps they should consider developing a forte that isn't 'out on the grill'.

1976.  I saw a Carter sticker on a Ford, a Ford sticker on a Chevy, and a Dole sticker on a banana.

Reagan rebuilt America's armed forces whereby the U.S. was able to pursue a policy of peace through strength, reversing the weakening of the military during the Carter administration.
You are aware that the military build up was started by Jimmy Carter, right?

Carter was weak and vacillating in defense matters

E.g., he cut back on the navy's shipbuilding program, while the Soviets had strengthened their forces.

Even Democratic Senator Henry Jackson found Carter to be weak, ineffective, and confused in defense matters. 

Scoop Jackson found everyone short of Jack D. Ripper to be weak, ineffective, and confused in defense matters.

I just called Aaron and am waiting for her to call me back.  Apparently, though Aaron is spelled like a guy's name, that it is actually a lady.  I got a female voice.

I'm guessing what happened is that, when she was first born, her parents decided to name her Blondie for her blonde hair.  But then quickly changed their minds, and went with a more male name, like Aaron.  It was only a few weeks later, when they they took her in for a checkup, and the doctor looked down at her genitalia and informed them that she was female, that they suddenly felt foolish.

75% of those named Hitler are registered Republican, while 75% of those named Gandhi or Jesus are registered Democrats.
Does that mean that Republicans are per definition three times more evil than Democrats? An interesting philosophical question.

You say that now, because he was cancelled early in his posting career, sort of like Firefly.  But if that show had lasted for 7 seasons, the quality inevitably would have waned, and there'd be some filler posts that no one likes, etc.  He burned brightly while he was here, but it's because that star was extinguished in its youth that you regard it as the best.

It's the same reason why Barack Obama had to run for president in 2008.  The later seasons of Obama's Senate career wouldn't have been able to maintain the same quality, and he wouldn't then have been able to make the same transition to a feature film.

It's also sort of like this post.  I should have stopped after the first paragraph.  Then people would hold up this post as being rather funny, and it would probably make it into the Goldmine.  But then I got greedy, and renewed it for two more paragraphs, and now it's just awful.

Just check out the #CancelColbert trend. Why is everyone on the far left such an obnoxious Sensitive Sally?

You're not on the far left?

Maybe because you're obsessing way too much about the South Park?

Because a forum on a site dedicated to national election results doesn't attract the obsessive type...

Assuming by "touch" you mean "tangent", then one


Clearly there's one in the triangle.  I considered that there might be another circumscribing the whole, but I'm having trouble visualizing how that'd happen given how far the line segment sticks out on the sides.  I'm also assuming a Cartesian plane in Euclid space, etc.  If one draws a circle just the right size, it touches the line segment on the right, and the small circle at about 2 o'clock, and the big circle at about 11 o'clock.  Something like this:

()

That makes two circles, if it is correct.

If you now place two filled circles inside the two unfilled circles, you get this:

()

If you then draw a few line segments below the original line segment, attaching them at the ends to make vertices and fill in the resulting polygon, you will get this:

()

Now, if you add a couple of rectangles, a sliced oval, some color, some more line segments, a hypocycloid of four cusps, and some text, you will end up with this remarkable geometric design.

()

Fascinating.

Who in Oklahoma who is going to vote Republican didn't in 2012.

Yeah. I mean, you'd basically have to be one of those people who decide whom to vote for literally at the voting booth for that idea to hold any water whatsoever.

This thread is over the 2000 post mark, and thus it should be time for a new one (just like the "opinion of previous poster's signature" thread).  Anyone want to start the next Comedy Goldmine?

Still none, though technically 2 if you count any rare time I attend church (teeny amount of red wine) or a trip a few years back where I legally had a small cup of champagne around New Years (didn't taste that good), but I plan to continue to #SayNo even on and after November 4th, 2015.

I've never eaten there. As a Texan, it makes no sense for me to drive north of the Red River to eat Mexican food prepared by Okies.
