the federal level is more economical for common purposes

Congress will have to TAKE the power back from the White House.


why are state taxes okay but federal taxes bad?

Here's a headline that may be cause for alarm:

GOP Foreign Policy Elites Flock To Clinton

nope, benign evidence of never-trump-ism

Great local coverage for Trump's debut with Gingrich, in the key swing state of Ohio.

Labelling and a right to know what you're eating is fine and all but anti GMO people are close to the nut low

Not if your hypothesis is that it's a problem with black culture, no.

Saying video games are sexist is not the same as saying video games can make you sexist. You understand that, right?

Well isn't this an interesting statement.

It's sort of amusing (and by amusing I mean "scary, stupid, and pathetic") that the actual biggest problem "black culture" has that's actually specific to "black culture" and not just a problem for people in general, is "people being ****ty to black people because they're black", but of course that's a problem we can't talk about lest we offend someone who wants to not talk about that problem.

Good luck everyone, I genuinely do think you're all good people.

WN - regardless of what I feel about the social sciences in general i do believe YOUR motivations are fair and pure

CN - You've said nice things to me in the past, I do believe you're a good/caring person even though that's unfortunately not reciprocated

DWetzel - You have a calm/reasonable analytic mode and emotional one, stick to the former

Filty - You're an SJW tard

Master - I'm confident your passions make you a great husband/father even if all your politics are wrong

Anarchist - Don't let this stuff consume you

Zorkman - I also believe you want the most good for the most people, but stay away from absolutes!
Good post

The paper is as.much in the tank as you are. They don't understand how their dishonestly misleading reporting is a driver of Trump's support. The voters are smart.

Not the biggest but I tend to agree.

I refuse to answer any questions from you unless you demand me to answer them as a moderator. I am not the only one who is scared of your intolerance for any viewpoint that isn't liberal, and it would be a non-issue except your name is in color, not black, so I feel my speech is chilled with you.

Under and it isn't close. I'm not sure when it started, but it is about to fall off the table like occupy wall street (a 2012 "protest movement" that nobody was 100% sure what they stood for because each little pocket of protesters were made up/were told what they were protesting) did.

BLM & OWS have more in common than just their short shelf life. They both do/did a decent job at pointing out what they perceive as problems (some of which aren't real issues or are real issues that aren't really taking places with any real frequency), but neither of them have any real solutions to the problems they talk about.

That would be hilarious if your views were so racist that Wookie superceded our own mods in a forum that isn't his own to moderate your comments, I would die loling

He once gave me a ban because I responded to a post that said voter ID laws were racist because they negatively effect a higher % of AA voters. I responded by saying a higher % of white ppl are rich therefore raising taxes is racist accordingly to that poster's logic since it negatively effects one race more than another.

He also gave me a ban for reversing what kanye famously said about george bush after katrina in a thread about obama starting a program that helped only minorities. I probably shouldn't have entered a controversial thread with wookie head hunting me, but to be fair if you were to pole a bunch of overly political correct morons they wouldn't say my post was one of the top 10 most racist in that thread within an hour of when I posted that.

reference: the whole video is funny/cringe worthy, but what I say was in regards to what kanye said around 1:33.

Lolololololololololololol.

I mean, if I was going to ban you, it would not have to be when you were answering a direct question.
07-07-2016 , 12:51 PM
Yeah, its a little disturbing that you cant really discuss race here openly. This is exactly my beef with "causes". They start out being pretty worthy (like real discrimination) then morph into outright bans of discussing all sides of an issue.

The bolded is a pretty big difference between OWS and BLM. If you're not sure what BLM stands for, thats probably a you problem..

I'd also like to know which issues BLM has pointed out that "aren't real issues"..

trump's comments about saddam are the least stupid thing he has ever said. did anybody even listen to them? he said that saddam was a "bad, bad dude" but that the one thing he did really well was kill terrorists. this was standard liberal dogma in 2003. "saddam is a horrible despot but killing him will unleash sectarian violence, so we have to leave him in power."







liberals should make up their damn minds on this issue and stop trying to play both sides of the ball. is the lesson from iraq that the neo-cons were wrong and that it's impossible to spread democracy by toppling dictators? fine, then admit that trump is basically right and that saddam, while evil, kept a lid on terrorism
