I’m totally OK with you having a gun for home defense. However, your bullshit hyperbole about “liberals” wanting you to get raped is indicative of your all-or-nothing attitude (happens to be the same attitude as the people deriding you on this thread).

I don’t need one. I just enjoy shooting them.

It just goes to show you that mental retardation afflicts all groups of people. A true modern tragedy that we let them drive cars, vote, and operate computer keyboards

it’s IMPOSSIBLE to not lose to a lower seed without winning the Championship

Guess I just think he deserves a lot of credit, and I don’t have any problem with saying he “freed the slaves” (despite the implied arrogance - this was a terrible reality and there is no way around that) because he was more responsible than any other single person. Not because he fought the hardest for emancipation…

Fair enough, although I think we are into semantics now. Lincoln publicly and privately expressed that slavery was immoral. He proposed compensated emancipation, which for the purpose of my Obama comparison, is a little like the ACA, while he really wanted universal single-payer. Lincoln ran on a platform that…

Still better than the average elected GOP official.

I’m sorry that you’re degraded by the fact that you brain works much, much slower than mine. However, since you’re spewing bullshit ideologies that cause net harm to society, perhaps you should be reminded of this reality?

I agree it should not be cut, but this is a good argument for only allowing healthy foods.... I eat pretty healthy, but this isn’t my fault. I grew up eating healthy - I was programmed to eat healthy.

Yeah, I heard America is not accepting any of them because they are brown and scary

I agree about Jefferson, but you have to look at Lincoln’s position a bit like Obama’s... He was trying to do the right thing among a lot of very against doing the right thing peers. America didn’t have a King, he couldn’t just say “OK, here’s what we are gonna do.”

I was just trying to make fun of America. Don’t take away my idealization of other countries, it is the only thing keeping me going

This is a sound strategy in America. However, first-world countries such as Germany have a lot less hungry people

Copy and paste next time - you don’t need to personalize the talking points for every thread. Oh, right, you don’t have a job. All the time in the world. Carry on.

Fair enough. The bottom line for me is that this shouldn’t be such a big deal. I like getting drunk and being able to use my car. And I’m good at it. But I’m not about to vote for someone just so I can do that. The price we pay for a supermarket full of food is capitulating the the lowest common denominator, which…

The term “bugger” just seems accurate, given your presentation of etymology. I’ll stop saying some of the other ones, but I’m gonna say bugger even more

Sure, but one could also argue that a person’s choice to vote or not vote for someone based on whether they will let them have an assault rifle is an emotion over-reaction to being totally powerless and frustrated by life.

This whole “FBI KNEW” is a red herring. The FBI cannot investigate the thousands of flippant internet commenters who say possibly threatening shit. This is the same as the mental health argument.

Right, like how the culture of a child is different than mine. It cares about candy and its birthday because it doesn’t understand, say, the economy, healthcare, or human rights.

Why? After all, one day he will be King
