  1. The crazy thing is I'm pretty convinced Hillary Clinton is the 'wrong' candidate. She's got a ton of baggage with her. I could see a Rand Paul or John Kasich beating her in CA.
  2. I have OOTP 14, so I figured it would be greedy to claim another. edit: You should send it to Guard Dog, I bet he'd love it.
  3. California could be competitive. It was a red state for 20 years before Clinton. They were unhappy enough with democrat Gray Davis to boot him out of office, and they put a Republican in his place. It doesn't help that it was a disaster, of course. Current Governor Jerry Brown is also nothing like a typical democrat, he's a complete fiscal conservative. Really, all California needs is the right candidate to flip. I don't think Trump is that guy though.
  4. Why would you bother to dissect a Bruce post?
  5. I don't know, it's easy to blame the political elite for the 2 party system, but in reality there isn't anything stopping independent or 3rd party candidates from competing other than the voters. A huge percentage of the population wants to vote along party lines, and the elite take advantage of that.
  6. Mount and Blade 2 looks pretty great, I feel like I've been waiting for it forever.
  7. Neither you or Bruce can even vote, so your point seems a little silly.
  8. I kind of assumed all this stuff was setup for their tablets, tbh. It seems pretty useless on a PC, and I don't think many people are using it.
  9. I'd say democrats should be pushing for Trump. He might actually be a democrat, but he's offended so many people in the middle that there is no way he can win the general election. It's a win-win for them.
  10. To be fair to Windows 7, I had to fight Windows 8 for about a year, and so it may just seem easier to navigate because I spent a year in H-E-double hockey sticks.
  11. Thank goodness for Rand Paul restoring a bit of my faith in humanity.
  12. It is hard to compare 7 and 10 fully, because I ran them on different rigs, but win 10 has made it much easier to limit background processes, it is easier to navigate, and honestly just seems to simplify all the crud from previous versions. It just seems less intrusive. Your mileage may vary, of course, but I have been happier with it than I was with 7, and certainly more than 8 or 8.1.
  13. I'm getting a major case of deja vu over here. Here is a helpful immature and ignorant picture to demonstrate.
  14. This is ridiculous. And yet, you are free to continue posting such ridiculousness on this forum, as you have done for years. You will not be censored, and even if you were, given this is a forum owned by a gaming company, you are free to start your own forum or find others that allow all sorts of extra ridiculous discussions to happen. That last line deserves a participation ribbon. edit: removed actual ribbon.
  15. I loved Dead State was well. Played the heck out of it.
  16. Pretty sure you can argue colleges and universities have always been swarming with such people, albeit with different labels.
  17. If I learned anything from The Apprentice, it is that Donald Trump is an equal opportunity douche.
  18. Yeah, I'll wait for the actual news on it instead of speculation though. In related news: http://nypost.com/2016/03/03/why-85000-people-are-calling-for-bill-clintons-arrest/ People are certainly afroth over the Clintons and Trump.
  19. I could only listen to that girl for about 10 seconds. But the idea that a bunch of chat room and message board weirdos created the current political climate is entertaining.
  20. Does he get that as soon as he retires, or does he have to wait until a certain age? I looked it up once for teaching, if I retired today I'd get about $1500 a month, but not until I turn 55 or 56.
  21. I thought Star Wars VII was a good remake of Star Wars IV.
  22. I'd be curious for the source for that quote; I'm pretty sure that its part of attempts to associate Sanger with an article written in 1933 in Birth Control Review that shares similarities with this quote, the problem is that Sanger didn't write it, nor was she quoted in it (and that exact line doesn't match). When opening a clinic in Harlem, she had African-American doctors on the board and sought the support (and received it) of W.E.B. Du Bois. She took great pains when working with a project to deliver birth control to poor African-Americans to make sure that it was understood that this wasn't a "sterilization" campaign. Reportedly she wouldn't tolerate anyone refusing to work across "race lines" and received great praise from Martin Luther King in 1966. If you want to criticize Sanger, I think it'd be easier to do so for her support of negative eugenics. Nice.
