  1. I don't think that's entirely true - keyword being "entirely". The voting splits suggested that white turnout was horrible - but what whites did vote voted for him (instead of the Dem) at about the same percentage as normal. That happened almost certainly because of the controversy (especially when the large write-in count was almost certainly because of what would've been Republican voters deciding he was not worth their vote). On the other hand, yes, black voters had great turnout (saying that America was better when slavery was still around probably wasn't the wisest choice of words, as indirectly as he said it), and a little over 95% of all black voters went for Jones. Plainly saying America would be better without the 13th amendment seems pretty direct to me.
  2. My question is, por que no los dos?
  3. I assume that's actually 8GB of RAM, otherwise, the game wouldn't even run. Also note that 512MB is quite small for graphics card memory, but I think it hits the minimum requirements. Other than that I can't help you, as I don't play the game on a Mac.
  4. What are you on about? In Europe officials are usually not elected for life, and I'd like to know who exactly shrugs and goes "he supports slavery? Oh well, it takes all kinds and it's the circle of life."
  5. Ah, see this is an interesting line. Despite our sensitive Polish friend not being able to vote, the fact is a bunch of real people from Alabama will because they believe exactly this. I mean even with quite a few Republican leaders disowning him, and those that support him basically saying policies are Moore important than his past, people are still going to see this as a fairy tale concocted by the evil left. It's comical because I have confidence that the Ethics committee will make short work of him if he is actually elected. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/12/11/should-conservatives-vote-for-roy-moore.html Has anyone noticed some odd changes to the posting style of Sharpie in the last few months? I know some of it may just be that he cuts and pastes from other sources, but his grasp of English seems to have changed. Man, every day I miss WoD. Something went humorously wrong with the bolded sentence. Regarding the Sharp_one thing about Democrats not being supposedly able to to fight fair against Roy Moore, I'd like to know whose fault is that. Mainly why does Moore have so much support when he has openly stated that things were better in America before the abolition of slavery, votes for colored people, women's suffrage, and Presidential term limits. Even if Jones win, it won't change the fact that almost half of voters will choose this man. Of course, in many respects, this is just Trump all over again. I don't understand how American society isn't curling up in shame.
  6. Without proof and sources, your credibility is 0 you know. The forger one is debateable, but I don't think any of us here are experts in handwriting analysis. She admitted to forging the document. No analysis is needed anymore Statements like what? Conservative opinions? Well as far as I know being conservative is not a crime regardless of what dems are usually saying There is nothing wrong with Moore as a candidate. Sorry Trump 2020! No she did not. She only said she added the date under the text and the signature. And that's forgery my friend. Even adding one dot to a document is a basis to dismiss whole document. Especially if she added a signature. Sorry Trump 2020! What? I'll repeat: She only added the date.

  8. Besides the knife shows, I think there are two different organizations - one for knife collectors (National Knife Collectors Association) and one more geared towards ownership and legislation (American Knife and Tool Institute) - that are knife related. How many members do those have?
  9. Yes, basically it's a question of quantity. The US has an incredibly large number of guns in circulation, in comparison to other developed countries. Statistically, that means people are going to die from them, especially as guns are really, really, really, really dangerous. Really. Having a small percentage of people that are irresponsible with rifles leads to a lot more deaths, than a small percentage of people that are irresponsible with swimming pools.
  10. Since they are both tools, the design doesn't really matter to much. It maybe weird outside the country, but here most Americans view guns design in the same way as a kitchen knife. They both tools that have a purpose (guns-hunting/protection, kitchen knife-cut and Pierce flesh) but can easily end a life thru purpose or accident. I have to disagree. Guns are your cultural fetish, I'd argue. A sizeable percentage of Americans doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time at knife ranges, or have special knife cabinets, or make a ritual out of cleaning knives or hold huge knife conventions. Also, a National Knife Association with 5 million members does not exist. All the talk about how guns are for protection, or that they are useful tools, or even that they are an inalienable right is all just a rationalization. It's not even about the killing. The simple truth is that you love owning, looking at, and using guns. A lot. They are a cultural staple for many. In and of itself, individually, there's not much wrong with this. People should love doing whatever they want and most people that love guns are responsible about it. The problem is that this cultural status ends up being the reason why there are so many gun deaths in the US. That so many people have an emotional relationship with guns means that, statistically, some guns will inevitably end up in the hands of those that are careless, dumb, incompetent or mentally ill in some way. This inevitably gets people killed.
  11. Gun is designed to defend and protect. Trump 2020! Like cannons. Or mustard gas.
  12. "Why am I so jolly?"
  13. Maybe not Trump, but at least Kushner or perhaps Jr.
  14. You do realize that the first link casts doubt on the second link?
  15. Nothing in that article states that the protesters killed the horse. Additionally there were both far right and far left demonstrators there.
  16. Keep in mind that I am against the death penalty, so I think the following death sentences should not have happened. According to this list, 146 war criminals were sentenced to death after WW2. That's of 355 sentences, if my use of Firefox's find is correct. Are you seriously comparing this to over 15 million dead? I have no idea how many people Nazi hunters got killed, but I'd wager it's a somewhat smaller number than the holocaust. Somewhat.
  17. You even dream about it with a low res, bad colour gif.
  18. "Yeah, they were victims of genocide, but the victims were evil too, so it's okay. If only people would understand that the appropriate response to genocide is more genocide."
  19. Regardless of whether she is being disingenuous about it (I think she is), using a racial slur to describe her, even as a joke, is not ok. That Trumpelthinskin decided to use that racial slur during a meeting with the Navajo is indefensible.
  20. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-pocahontas-elizabeth-warren-native-americans-slur-silence-comments-latest-a8079071.html Trump holds a ceremony for the Navajo code talkers in front of painting of Andrew Jackson and makes a Pocahontas joke during it.
  21. Does that mean the person of the year was 4chan?
  22. They might even have engaged in conversation with each other.
  23. Seems like bad advice when tailored to achieving a goal that includes having kids. If they don't keep that goal to last they simply won't make it outside of being very lucky.
  24. Wonder if they can also ditch the car. I'm assuming commuting without the car in the US is a risky proposition.
