Oh God don’t remind me of that. I think he would treat it differently the second time around, this Stan clearly has no more fucks to give.

Also, what is it with secularizing the business world and de-secularizing everything else with Christians? I don’t think Jesus was like, “So be nice to everybody except during business hours in which case it’s a free-for-all.” Schizos all of them. That song at the beginning of The Apprentice was just perfect.

The Grinch was just a misunderstood pragmatist.

If you think the answer is simply getting more to people to vote then you underestimate the power of money in politics. It is certainly an honorable endeavor but it does nothing to solve the current voting issues (choices) and as long as those remain it doesn’t matter how many people you get to vote, the parties will

I’m listening... This election has taken my cynicism in an ugly direction. I’ve been perusing texts exploring the successes and failures of The Enlightenment project. Berlin, Adorno, etc.. It doesn’t look pretty.

I agree, millennials are reaching an age where we should be starting to present an alternative. No Bernie, no Biden, US!!!

We need an age limit on voting, you old people fucking suck. Signed - A Millennial.

George Eliot, however, is not impressed.

But you see, it’s not the simple, because REASONS!

“Free blowjobs for everybody, even the women-folk!”

I think he’s pretty damn close as it is.

Was about to say: “At least they’re AMERICAN robots!” The robots aren’t American, the robots are robots.

This so much. Escapism is all the rage nowadays, in the theatres and in the voting booths. I just finished reading Looking Backward which was quite the sensation when it came out, being set firmly in the Gilded Age. I think the hoopla around Avatar could also fall into this category.

After they’ve spent months delegitimizing the very institutions they sought, they deserve absolutely no quarter. They preach healing because they want you to turn the other cheek, they’re betting on it, it’s how they win. Stop doing it. Stop pretending they will see their hypocrisy through reasoned debate. They want

#MakeNietzscheAntiRacistAgain Look up his relationship with Wagner if you need to know his feelings on anti-Semitism. They were strong. He was, first and foremost, a worshiper of strong individuals, but he was not a fan of racism, that was his sister and her nutjob husband.

If I were as sufficiently rich and famous as him I don’t doubt I would turn into a douche. Come to think of it, I already am (douche), so maybe the fame and money would cure me of it. Yep, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Now who wants to contribute to the “Make Lord Acton’s Library Less of a Douche Fund”? I’m

If Trump voters were so offended then I think we know who the real special snowflakes are. I agree about Hillary’s nomination being a forgone conclusion, the DNC could have acted at least a little more impartial. I really don’t have anything against the Clintons but I think they need to be put out to pasture, all of

I never said it was deplorable but one would wonder why you keep harping on that. You said they need someone who can energize them. Who could have done that opposite Trump? Bernie? Not happening. I’m stark because I know enough of them that voted for Obama yet switched. They’re followers, they follow whoever has the

The Rust Belt states were already pretty moderate Dems in the first place, look at how their representatives voted on the ACA, so them flipping is not just the DNC being unexciting. I’m not giving up, but Trump’s completely vacuous precedence is unnerving. The GOP could continue to breed a generation of dogmatic
