BruceVC Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The general election is less than a month away. Donald Trump is double digits behind Hillary Clinton in most polls, and single digit behind in the remaining few. No presidential candidate has ever recovered from that far behind this late in the game, and then gone on to win the general election. What's interesting though is that there's obvious media bias for Clinton, so can we even trust the polls...? LK please stop using places like Reddit as your source of information, that just leads to constant confusion where you never seem to understand whats going on or you question actual data that is relevant and you ask questions like " who can we trust ....can we trust the polls " ? Finally? Bruce, everyone knows Hillary Clinton could take a big giant dump in a 4-month old infant's mouth on live television and you'd believe the CNN story that it's all a Russian conspiracy or that the infant was actually a Russian spy about to assassinate Obama. LK you not suggesting I am biased are you? Thats offensive on some levels I have been critical of Hilary Clinton when applicable but the more we spend time analyzing Trump vs Clinton and who should be the best candidate for the presidency and leader of the free world it should be obvious to all that Trump is woefully unqualified, he lacks the temperament and he lacks the intellectual capacity to be the best candidate This should be the view I would encourage people to have " Clinton is the better candidate, therefore we should support her campaign " "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I'm sorry but this has to be the third time I've seen this and it's starting to get on my nerves. Maybe a month ago I said "btw guys I visit reddit" and suddenly there's this narrative that I'm this die-hard redditor that shares all the faults of the website? That's a bogus sort of argument and you idiots know it. How about you judge me based on the things I say rather than judging me by the things people say in communities I'm a part of? Besides, did I not give my big honking speech about how I hate their formatting and downvote system (encourages echo chambers for days) and begrudgingly visit the site simply because it's a good central hub for news and info? Part of understanding an election is understanding voter sentiment, and I got news for you, that website has a lot of opinions floating around it. Hell yes I'm gonna thumb through it. Secondly, I'd just like to point out that this criticism is coming from some members of the humble Obsidian off-topic section. A subforum sooooooooo diverse that collectively, we haven't got a single vagina voicing opinions in it! Wow! You're right guys, I really should ditch major websites. Why would I ever need to read those when I've clearly got every opinion and reasonable input I could possibly need on this website?! And imagine if I tried to do the same you're doing to me and claim any member here automatically shares the opinions, mannerisms and general world philosophies of all members of this community. If I characterized any one of you based on you simply having the audacity to visit and/or participate in this community, between Volourn, oby, Leferd, Sharp_one, Gronmir and you Bruce, we'd get some sort of weird ass bastard child that only links statistics about how foreigners are all Nazis unddeserving of GLORIOUS MOTHER RUSSIA because they don't respect women properly by purchasing their prostitution services, all while talking like some ogre video game character (or whatever it is he's imitating). It'll only get weirder as we add more, too. Finally? Bruce, everyone knows Hillary Clinton could take a big giant dump in a 4-month old infant's mouth on live television and you'd believe the CNN story that it's all a Russian conspiracy or that the infant was actually a Russian spy about to assassinate Obama. Here, have a video comparing wikileaks emails to an interview that took place back in ~January. I FOUND IT ON REDDIT: Not trustworthy because reddit? Okay here you go Bruce, I imagine you'd be a fan of the Young Turks. Here's a video that was in my suggested vids just this morning: You seem like the usual redditor, to be honest. 3 Why has elegance found so little following?

Longknife Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 LK you not suggesting I am biased are you? Thats offensive on some levels No Bruce, I'm suggesting you're a ****ing idiot. A bias person clings to a side for a variety of reasons ranging from personal interests to an unwillingness to consider opposing views, an idiot awkwardly stumbles about debate areas, incapable of recognizing what their own personal interests are and incapable of comprehending opposing views, thus forever clinging to and supporting the first stance that jangled some shiny keys in front of the idiot's face to make them happy. No worries, your flawless reputation as the least biased member of this community remains untarnished. You seem like the usual redditor, to be honest. Put some effort into your attempts to enrage people and then you might actually get attention for once. Without effort, it's just a pathetically hateful and spiteful little mark with obvious intentions that ultimately does nothing but peg you as a rather petty person. 1 "The Courier was the worst of all of them.

Malcador Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Who said that was an attempt to enrage? Seems fairly easy to do anyway, what with your past ranting on being oppressed on a game forum someplace. But it is a fairly fitting description, right down to the superfluous sentences. Forum hard man on the field, clearly. Some new leaked emails as well, apparently a staffer was insulting Catholics and Evangelicals. Though saying some RCs engage in a bastardization of the faith isn't wholly inaccurate, I guess. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?
