  1. You may be right but without real purpose and meaningful strategy they will just be a vociferous and annoying movement that wont implement real change You can't stop PC guys, its best just to work within the system Yes you can, just like Communism eventually bent and traded ideology for the more practical aspects of capitalism and how Capitalism has become more socialized so too will the PC eventually be sanitized. The political correctness crowd want to have a monopoly on what correct means, eventually they will meet with the same thing that caused other systems to change: the public. You guys and your hyperbole....PC is not an ideology, no need to compare it to proper global beliefs like Communism It behaves like one and seems to take a lot cues from Marxism supplanting class with race; after all the people making this PC stuff up don't want people realizing that they privileged white kids. If we're talking about Marxism as in what Marx wrote, that isn't really the case. If it did, PC would be advocating an overthrow of the oppressors followed by dictatorship of the previously exploited which would lead to a raceless society. PC is more akin to Puritanical standards of social interaction, in that it's less about making radical changes to a system and more about presentation of ideas and standards of social interaction.
  2. He is already getting that. Bernie will be portrayed as a kooky old man with ideas that aren't well thought out(ie outside of the "acceptable" range for mainstream US politics) and referred to as "not serious" every time is brought up. At debates, his answers will differ wildly from the canned responses by the rest of the field and he will drop some heavy truth bombs. Trump is more inline with your thinking than mine Bruce.
  3. I think you've been playing too many erotic Fallout3/New Vegas/Skyrim mods.
  4. 85% Sanders, drop off 20% for Martin O'Malley for 2nd choice. Partywise: 92% Socialist, 90% Green, 65% Libertarian, 60% Democrat, 30% Constitution Party, 5% Republican.
  5. Your legal system did not put the guy in prison and no apparent attempts were even made. Which is suggestive of the level of evidence. There was no such trial that's the point and despite that damage to a man not convicted of a crime was done. Hence his suit against the University, which if the evidence holds up, will basically result in him winning the lottery. Which does not negate the last year or so of him being unable to complete his degree due to being expelled for disciplinary reasons. Well again, life is not fair. It would certainly be worse if he was facing criminal prosecution. Even if the lawsuit does not pan out, he can likely still pursue his degree through a different school. Excusing an awful practice with "life's not fair" is...odd. As to being able to finish the degree if the lawsuit not panning out, that doesn't appear to be true. In the Boston Globe article posted earlier, it stated that he couldn't finish it due to having "expelled for disciplinary reasons" on his transcript.

  7. Bruce, you're to the US as tankies are to the Soviet Union.
  8. The idea the past 5 years of going to university, paid by working a full-time job I hate, can be rendered null because I cross paths with the wrong person while intoxicated bothers me quite a bit.
  9. I can't say I'm surprised, you do seen to wallow in ignorancetrust in the glorious US government.
  10. We could give him same helpful tips that we give women, don't drink too much, don't go in parties alone, don't dress up too sexy, don't be friends with members of opposite sex, don't be out in late, etc.. Solid. Gold. None. But you can keep in mind that while the plural of anecdote isn't "data", the singular sure as hell isn't either. So until reliable statistics turn up about the false conviction rates being higher than the number of actual rape cases (ie. "proof that the program causes more harm than good"), I remain sceptical of the idea that incidents such as this are a widespread menace. I'm not arguing that it is widespread, I'm wondering how I can prevent such a situation. Given that I am the same age as the accused, in college, and associate with women, a possibility exists that I may be in a similar situation and I would like to know what I can do to avoid it.
  11. But in this case, the guy never dated his accuser. In fact, it seems that she initiated oral sex on him while he was blackout drunk. What preventive measures could he have taken to stop from having his girlfriend's roommate performing oral sex while he was passed out and accusing him of rape two years later? We could give him same helpful tips that we give women, don't drink too much, don't go in parties alone, don't dress up too sexy, don't be friends with members of opposite sex, don't be out in late, etc.. But we should know by now those tips are bull****. I'm being serious, what preventive measures can one take to prevent a situation like this?
  12. History is ungood. Trust in the NSA, they're looking out for you.

  14. Fantasy does not spring out of nothing but is in fact produced within the confines of reality, in turn this fantasy can then influence how others perceive or respond to reality. I don't know, I guess he worded fairly melodramatically. Ah, but that only focuses on "unrelated". I'd argue that to most sane folk fantasy and reality being "separate" and "distinct" is true, at least in the sense that they are easily able to tell them apart as separate. Of course, this is probably reading too much into what is an edgy liberal navel gazing over a latte.
  15. Now you guys are just clutching your pearls at whatever comes out of their mouths. I think it's funny myself, but whatever helps you get your rocks off mate.
  16. You were thinking for yourself. Surely you know this is not good?
  17. I think the twitter account is a very complex piece of performance art.
  18. Well that sounds scummy as ****. Anyone else doing something similar?
  19. The man truly is a legend.
  20. Completely reading into things obviously, nothing to back it up, but what if he is planning his own Kickstarter project? Yeah, he very much tiptoed around that question. Could it be the fabled IE games spiritual successor take 3 (4?)? More than likely it will be his high school RPG.
  21. MCA is leaving to compete on Masterchef, if victorious he will demand to be called Master Chef Avellone. MCA barely mentions his work on Pillars and quickly moves on, while he talks at length, and, dare I say, lovingly, about Wasteland 2 and TToN. Hmm... I noticed that as well. I'll admit to not liking PoE as much as I hoped, but it seems odd.
  22. It's a 12-issue Lovecraftian horror series. Hard to give a complete synopsis right now, but the first issue was very good looking.
  23. Da joos are trying to cuck the white man? ctrl+f "jews" in the thread on /pol/.... 41 hits among 690 posts. Meh, that's kinda weak actually. Did you ever think that the nazis were shills trying to derail every discussion with cuckolding and Jews?
  24. So I picked up Providence and was quite impressed. Alan Moore may be a crazy old bastard, but the man can write quite well.
