Remember Newt Gingrich saying that it didn’t matter that crime had gone down because people FELT that it had gone up? That feelings were as important as facts?

Seems a little weird/creepy to me.

I thought it just meant yelling PAAAAAAAARTY into the dark woods in some insensate state with no shirt on. Near a fire of some kind.

This one time in college I was at a bar while suffering from allergies. Red eyed and slightly drunk, my friend and I started a darts game with two other people. After five minutes, one cornered me and said, “do you like to party?”

Want fries with that? = drugs

I didn’t go through 18 years of Catholic upgbringing (including confirmation) to not be able to call out “God” for being an “Imaginary Sky Daddy”. You’ve deflected the argument about how superstition prevents people from arguing coherently, and now we’re talking about whether or not we’ve insulted somebody’s…

Yeah, when they get indignant over a liberal’s condescending atheism just bring up Ayn Rand’s stance on the subject. After they recover from their seizure, then bring up her stance on abortion.

But you’re talking about them as of now. I believe the original OP and me are talking about what being a conservative was originally way back when.

It’s nice when people talk about how fiscally conservative their policies are and then when you point out that free birth control prevents expensive health care and welfare costs down the line, for people they don’t want reproducing anyway, or how free/cheap public housing for the homeless drives down spending for…

Many of the Hillary supporters I know personally are not so much Hillary supporters as die-hard Democratic party supporters. Considering Bernie isn’t really a Democrat, they absolutely HATE that he is running for the Democratic nomination. I kind of agree. It sucks that to be a viable candidate you have to run as…

I’m older than 40 years old.

#HillarySoQualified getting her mob of 40+ women, who recently learned to use the internet, to shame ME into voting for gender over issues.

congress, iirc, is a consortium of village elders chosen to represent their hamlets by drawing straws. there, they compete in physical and mental competitions while also trying to collect as many golden eggs as possible. at the end of their sessions (the length of which is determined by counting the numbers of stars…

It’s a better idea to list real pros and cons of both candidates then the bs you posted. But then, you aren’t looking for dialog, just pushing opinion.

Charismatic, no. Talented, no. Unique, almost certainly.

From my limited knowledge of professor jobs (mostly acquaintance that are professors in the humanities) - I always thought it was publish or perish. My impression was that a university is fine with a stellar researcher and a poor teacher (and as my own experience bears out, haha), but less likely to keep on the…

Yes, it is horrible of you.
