Some propaganda is better than other propaganda:

Nope. Anyone who is constitutionally qualified to be President can potentially be nominated. It has happened before, more than once, though it's been quite some time since it has, and all of the examples I can think of (Garfield probably being the best one) happened prior to voting primaries being a thing.

So they plan to select John Kasich if it's a brokered convention? I am not well versed in lawspeak, but from i gather it could be practically anyone, even those that have dropped out. You need not be versed in 'lawspeak'. It can be anyone. For most elections, that's how it always has been. The primary thing is for the most part an early 20th century creation, and for the most part has always been a rigged dog and pony show, as arguably the actual Presidential election itself has become (the 2000 election most obviously). The corruption, which has been there in spades for over 100 years now, is just getting a bit more obvious at this point, with a large portion of the electorate being thoroughly disillusioned with both major parties and with the internet allowing for the proliferation of relatively easily accessible information mainstream media generally doesn't talk about, and the people who own it generally don't want you to know about.

For cereal though. I've actually given this general scenario thought on a number of occasions, as I've already had a couple of brushes with death and know well how fragile life is. As well as the fact that while a 24 hour time limit is unlikely, many people find themselves with months, weeks, or even days left to live (I've known such people). What I'd do depends on a number of factors, ie: where exactly I am, what the weather's like, who's around, how I'm like to die. In the end though, what I'd do is more than likely not for public consumption.

Obsidian is second only to Paradox in my experience when it comes to having overzealous arbitrary immature moderators. I thought it unfortunately ironic when Obsidian teamed up with them, on more than one level. The sexes are not equal. But that's cool, mostly. I don't want to be good at breast feeding. I don't want my woman to be able to bench press me. People who want them to be equal or already think they are, are in lala land. Reality defies them. You are amusing Oby. Here's two videos for you:

It won't amount to anything. Everyone knows how corrupt the democratic party is and it's never stopped leftists from voting for them before. There's a difference between people actually voting for them and election fraud. Also, this particular fraud is being perpetrated by 'leftists' on 'leftists', and election fraud is certainly not something the Democratic Party has a monopoly on. Frankly, it's looking like the folks behind Clinton are stealing the nomination from Sanders, via not only the corrupt 'super delegate' system, but by rigging the election results in various locations. Arizona and Oregon are not the only places this is happening. Utah is another (though the alleged fraud there is mostly on the Republican side), and these three places are just where people are getting caught and/or speaking out and there's been a decent amount of coverage of the problem (note that the mainstream media is not really even touching this, they just about never cover election fraud issues).

Bernie Sanders is the newest Disney Princess. Na... he's no princess. He's just from some alien invader from an alternate universe where Disney meets Animal Farm.

Very easy, in the U.S. anyways. This is the interwebs, and a super touchy subject, so I shant say more than I know some current and former military folks who have some toys, and that it's not an uncommon thing. While I didn't make this video, nor know the people who did, here's an example of some folks playing with such toys: Note: there are many different types of toys out there. Understanding chemistry is an interesting, often beautiful, yet sometimes ugly thing [and something that the anti-gun, and 'gotta keep everyone from having access to X' crowds, almost laughably lack an understanding of (where there's a will and even half a brain, there's almost always a way)]. Random aside: I used to own a '98 Jetta so I personally find this video amusing particular amusing. There are other similar videos out there.

You didn't, Bruce did. Or did you forget you were responding to him? If Bruce is a troll, he is one of the most successful I've seen. If he's not, he's one of the thickest slices of superficial I've ever come across.
-
The whole 'view post anyway' thing really does need to go away. It's supposed to be 'ignore', not 'maybe kinda sorta ignore'.
-
And... Here's a very good example of why I sometimes think you might just be a troll. You're either incredibly daft to ask that question, or you're trolling. If it's the former, think, the answer is obvious if you do. If it's the latter, F off.
-
... The whole point of doing it is so it will be pointed out. That's trolling 101, and Bruce does it all the time. In all seriousness, Bruce purports to be fine with prostitution and not fine with an open marriage. Even if they were honestly held opinions rather than the forum equivalent of Gawker clickbait (no surprise Bruce would defend them, they're peas in a pod) there's literally no point even arguing with someone that disconnected with reality; the level of cognitive dissonance that would be required to honestly hold both opinions renders it utterly pointless. I always thought of trolling as intentionally riling people up, not posting logical inconsistencies so someone will point them out. Learn something new everyday, I guess. The intent of the troll usually is indeed to rile people up, however the vast majority of the time the average troll is indeed logically inconsistent. It's one of the reasons most are very easily spotted, and the main reason most are also fairly easily shut up. That aside, Bruce drives a lot of conversation on this forum (20% of the current front page threads were started by him, and that's been the norm since before I started coming here), and definitely has some things in common with a troll, even if unintentional. I've questioned his sincerity myself on a number of occasions, and frankly I'm still not 100% sure he's not a troll of some sorts.

What was the 10% that was right? Going through that scathing and egregiously misplaced assessment of me is not something I feel like doing on Easter...later Good thing it isn't Easter for a couple more days.

[spoilered only to save screen space.] If I have time later, I may add to what you say here, but I want to at least say I very much appreciate the energy and time you took to write that, and I agree 100% with your observations on Bruce. While they very likely might be lost on Bruce himself (and seem to be based on his replies), know at least that you are not alone in your observation and opinion on this matter. Thank you for writing what you wrote. Yes I keep saying that, Im glad he wrote that because I now understand the issue Some people judge me on expected Internet etiquette, I cannot do that as I am only capable of one way of acting : RL Etiquette Hence the misunderstandings which you are perpetuating No Bruce. I at least am not judging you by some 'internet etiquette', and I don't think Longknife or at least most of the rest of the people here are either. I fully expect you to be just about exactly as you are on this forum in the 'real world', and the same goes for almost everyone else here.

Are you seriously saying that something between consenting adults is "worse" than something done without consent? Because AFAIK Hogan and Heather Clem were consenting adults in what they did but they did not consent to being filmed or to having said film distributed by Gawker. Yes for me much worse, this is a subjective judgement I have been very lucky in life, I have always had very good guy friends, I mean we share everything about ourselves and we completely trust each other and can rely on each other. Some of friends I have been friends with for 15-20 years Most of my friends are married or have serious girlfriends and I am also always very good friends with the ladies ..but its a real respect and friendship that is outside my male friends. I was raised in a matriarch society and I really appreciate my friendships with women, in fact I often enjoy doing things with women that most men would find boring, in other words " women things " But for a man to be true friends with a women he has to learn to not act on any physical attraction if it surfaces , its fine to be attracted to a lady friend but you must control how you respond. So there was and always is immense trust between me and all my guy friends about there lady partners, for example my friend would go away for a month for work and I would come down from JHB and stay with his fiancee for weekends. We would party together, sleep in the same house and even the same bed but there was never anything that made the situation uncomfortable The level of trust was unequivocal and this only made our 3 friendships more durable . So when I hear about someone who is prepared to let his wife sleep with someone like Hogan I lose immense respect for how dysfunctional that relationship really is...despite the fact they probably think " we have a open relationship which makes us stronger as a couple " Get divorced and then sleep with who you want....but seriously a wife and her husband being happy with that is just .....appalling for me So yes what Hogan did was morally worse, spiritually worse and a mockery of what a marriage is This is truly rich, coming from someone who champions gay and transgender rights, and repeatedly has said there's nothing wrong with that lifestyle at all. Absolute Platinum!

Banging a friend's very willing wife behind closed doors with said friend's permission and encouragement is arguably reprehensible on a high moral standard road, but that is a road you do not understand or travel Mr. SJW. Ever. Please don't pretend to in order to try and cast what is grossly abhorrent by even a low moral standard is a better light. The relative wrongs here are equivalent to spitting on someone who actually was spitting at you first, vs aggravated assault with a weapon and robbery. And it's the former, not the latter that is actually repentant. Hogan does not defend his actions, he has sincerely apologized for them, repeatedly (not that this should have *ever* been anyone's business to even discuss let alone have apology given to, other than those who are close to Hogan, Bubba, and the wife). Whereas Denton continues to try to justify his pure slime and is entirely unrepentant. And this is coming from someone who barely knows what 'GG' is about, as I found the entire thing shallow, trivial, corrupt, and largely irrelevant to my life as well as the world at large, as are just about all SJW concerns and ventures.

Fixed Also, no one is afraid of homosexuals*. L2Volcabulary right. Please reject all the 'phobias' that are not really phobias Mr. VC. It's a step off that hazy road to hell paved with seemingly good intentions into a more honest and clear world.

There very well may be some truth to this. Voter fraud is nothing new. Certain places like Chicago are notorious for it, and there's a number of good documentaries out there on it in regards to national elections (none that I can link on youtube though). Some focus on the 2000 election in Florida, some focus on 2004 in Ohio, and some just talk about it in general. 'Hacking Democracy' is probably the best one overall in my opinion. I highly recommend everyone find it and watch it if you haven't already. On top of voter fraud there is the shady and very undemocratic at times primary process of both parties. The Dem's system currently seems more blatantly corrupt, but the Republican's certainly is as well. Just ask Ron Paul supporters from the last election, or do a little research. You'll find that party nominations have been stolen in the past (most recently and fairly obviously by Eisenhower), it's nothing new.

Having been to Harvard, and even dated one of it's students for a number of years, I can tell you that it's pure myth that one needs to be intelligent to be there. In fact, my experience is that school attracts some of the most thoroughly brainwashed (yet good regurgitators) folks in the nation.
