My objective that I have been unequivocal about since day 1 is a Hillary Clinton Democratic nomination But I also respect the reality that in this election you have popular support for anti-establishment candidates like Sanders and you cannot ignore his support base even if I dont agree with all of it But as far as the Democratic nomination is concerned you need 2382 delegates to win the nomination and Hilary has more or less 1700 to Sanders 1000? So my question is how can Sanders realistically win based purely on the Math considering the outstanding states that still need to vote? This link raises an interesting point http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/04/politics/hillary-clinton-memo-bernie-sanders/index.html?eref=rss_politics

Okay so Cruz and Sanders won Wisconsin Interesting result, I am more excited now about NY....that's going to be very exciting

Volo Emma Watson is a great supporter of Gender Equality, she has publicly been very vocal on several issues and received unfair criticism I respect her immensely as she is using her celebrity status in a positive way to get attention to various SJ issues . I'm surprised you aren't more supportive of her?

http://abcnews.go.com/International/putins-reported-best-friends-implicated-massive-document-leak/story?id=38136494 I see some of Putin's closest friends have been implicated in this scandal, its no surprise that Putin would have some association to this The Kremlin has dismissed this of course ....its " just a Western scandal to undermine Putin ", this comment surprises me as Putin doesn't need the West to undermine him...he does this perfectly fine on his own

Can you imagine an Iraq style invasion of Switzerland by the USA....

No Its much easier to hide and transfer money in a country like Panama than Switzerland. There would be less accountability or enforcement of certain legal banking procedures Switzerland is still a "neutral " country and encourages people to invest money but it also has in the past opened its banking sector up to allow for certain bank accounts to be frozen If I wanted to hide money from the South African government I would still chose somewhere like Switzerland over Panama

Not sure this is fair to the reality of the modern world? Most systems work and deliver more good than bad. Corruption is a choice ultimately...yes there are factors that influence corruption but I still believe its a choice Also what systems reward the dishonest ? I know this point is subjective but because you live in Denmark which is consistently rated as one of the least most corrupt countries in the world I am interested in what systems you would consider so flawed?

Here is an interesting question, do you not think a document like the US Constitution that is over 200 years old needs to be updated to reflect the reality of the social and political challengers of the 21st century? How can everything in the US Constitution really be relevant to modern society and yes I understand Constitutional lawyers debate and interpret this type of thing in courts nowadays but I wonder if it would make more sense to create an " update " of the US Constitution And of course I'm not suggesting the core values of the US in the Constitution get removed or surreptitiously changed....I am suggesting they get modernized And the only reason I mention this is because I'm sure if you could somehow ask most people who you may think have tried to "undermine " the Constitution they wouldn't see it like this. They will probably say something like " undermine? No not at all...I have only tried to make the Constitution more reflective of a modern society " So in summary my question is basically " is it a reasonable suggestion in the year 2016 to make some changes to the US Constitution " ?

Yes that was difficult to write

Its called brevity Zora, sometimes you dont need to write a paragraph to make a simple point

Thats okay, its the RL outcome from Trumps sexism and how women will vote that matters

Also if you think of Adult Mods you need to go to a specific place that is not easy to find

Men do matter but not in this case because its about the Democrats getting as much of the womens vote as possible Men have dominated US elections for decades and decades so I think its fine we focus primarily on women for this one...men will be fine I promise you Besides isn't Trump considered more the mens choice? And now you clearly making excuses about reaching out to the Muslim community...Volo its disingenuous to suggest you want to get involved and then refuse the first task given to you \ If a women really calls you ugly its probably true and then its NOT sexist

Well, given that you're attributing claims to me that I blatantly did not make (the bolded part), you possibly may. And since you used plural, it's kind of obvious that you meant Bruce and me (or possibly Bruce and a bunch of imaginary enemies lurking around who happen to believe the thing you accuse them of believing and also read this topic). The jab against my "vocabulary" is kind of funny in light of the level of reading comprehension you just demonstrated, though. Actually, in regards to the bolded part I was referring to something BruceVC stated in an earlier post. My apoligies for assuming and inferring you shared his bolded view because you share the rest. Vals you missing the point, sorry I assumed you knew what I meant when I said " women everywhere " I'll happily explain it but I'm sure you dont really believe in sexism and gender equality so I dont want to waste my time but I will if you serious ? No... I'm done. It's too much work to hold your hand and walk you through consonant thinking. Sorry. Look me up if you're ever in New York. We'll have beers. No problem i prefer people just being honest like you did now because its a waste of my time to make a long post if the person isnt that keen

As I mentioned I am always impressed by your DYI abilities....surly people dont do as much DYI as you anymore or is this common in the USA? Do you get tired doing DIY or do you see it as fun and or a hobby

I have a hard time imagining any context in which calling someone a "fat disgusting pig" is a value-neutral statement of fact instead of the nasty ad hominem it is. And attacking a woman's looks instead of their viewpoints is fundamentally sexist. Sorry this post is pure alum ....100 % unedited He has an ability to make a post if someone says something he can work with that is impossible to deny.....its really funny when he makes the post as I always think " how is the person going to explain this one " ..

GD how come you have never said that about all my great posts ........waaaaaaaaaaah Orogun just 2 posts made a pretty decent analysis on the motivations and psychology of two comic book superheroes that, for one brief moment, actually made me take them seriously as characters. All the comics I have read and the hundreds of hours of Batman & Superman movies I've sat through never managed to do that. But think about all the exciting discussions you and I have had about topics like Gay rights....that must be on a similar level to Orogs post?

I have a hard time imagining any context in which calling someone a "fat disgusting pig" is a value-neutral statement of fact instead of the nasty ad hominem it is. And attacking a woman's looks instead of their viewpoints is fundamentally sexist. Arguably ad hominem? Yes. Fundamentally sexist? No. If you can't even understand why that'd be unequivocally and without a shade of doubt an ad hominem, I'm not gonna waste time on advanced concepts like "what's sexism". Your vocabulary is lacking if you think it's "unequivocally and without a shade of doubt an ad hominem". Vals you are embarrassing yourself now ....please lets just move on

But I know sexism also bothers you....doesnt this particular video just irritate you. Whats worse about it is what message is it sending the rest of the world who would thinlk " sexism doesn't exist in the USA " But the story gets even better, after this debate Trump refused to attend the next Fox News debate….he basically said “Megyn Kelly was unfair to him and she is a third rate journalist “ ….and this is the guy who wants to “ make the USA great again “ , he cant even handle the scrutiny of a women or having to actually admit he is wrong to a women ? Seriously…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVNVY343FXY

No, this video highlights how stupid some people are in that Megyn asks a question that only morons are going to think is relevant, and is somewhat amusing (the Rosie line was a good one). It's exactly the kind of question that a great many people who aren't morons are beyond sick of, hence the cheering of Trump's response. In addition to the various insults he's thrown various women's (and men's) ways over the years, Donald Trump has also laid lavish praise upon various women (and men), do we hear Donald being accused of thinking that all woman are 'wonderful' (which he has called many), or him being accused of having 'no respect for the feelings of men'? No, because that would be ridiculous. What you propose is no less ridiculous, and actually quite sexist. Insulting one woman/man or one person of a specific ethnicity (especially a deserving one), does not equate to insulting them all. Thinking such is moronic. Some women are 'fat disgusting pigs', so are some men, but not all of either are. You can insert just about any positive or negative adjective(s) you want for 'fat disgusting pigs' and the previous sentence still holds true. Sorry Vals but I showed this video clip and emailed the story to several of my committed feminist friends and they were very annoyed It is sexism and they agree Trumps overall actions were disgraceful....and trust me they women so they would know better than either of us

That sounds interesting, didn't you have parents? But I suppose who needs rules when you can read comics all day

GD how come you have never said that about all my great posts ........waaaaaaaaaaah

He insults people in different ways you right but I am more concerned with his treatment of women as they represent over 50% of the voting base. Priorities Volo.....never forget to priorities But there are other minorities he has insulted, you need to step up and help out my son. Why dont you go confirm with the Muslims he has insulted? You have a natural affinity with Muslims so they will listen to you ?

Right from the beginning the comic companies should have fought this...its not hard They make the basic point that the opinions in the magazines have made there customer base uncomfortable and revenue is down What reasonable judge is going to dismiss this....think about it when there are real crimes all around...the judge will order them to remove it and apologize What happened with the Batgirl one was the creative team behind the book didn't like the cover, which was a homage to The Killing Joke, as DC was doing a series of Joker themed variant covers for Joker month, and The Killing Joke is the most famous interaction between Joker and Batgirl. There was an outcry of it showing Batgirl as a victim and that they would never show Batman in a compromising position on the cover of his own book, followed by like 20 examples of just that and the people providing the examples being blocked by the people who said there weren't any. The creative team then felt it didn't fit the tone and themes of the book. As it was a variant cover, of course it didn't, variants rarely reflect the content of the book. So the artist requested DC pull the cover, and they did. I'm pretty sure most people disagree with the decision, but it essentially wasn't DC that caved to the whiny crybabies, but the artists themselves, so the crybabies claimed the high ground. Marvel had the Spider-Woman artist contracted for several other covers but cancelled them after the outcry, but didn't pull the one that was released. You know what ...I suddenly thought of a solution for Spider Women She can just go naked if the issue is her costume?
