Pidesco Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Would you say someone who uses his money, fame and connections to get away with repeatedly breaking the law, getting gigantic tax rebates, and sexually assaulting women is someone who has "transcended privilege-checking"? 1 "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

Chilloutman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I can't wait when this masquerade will be over. Its so annoyingly long and it have to be stupidly expensive :/ I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

ShadySands Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Saw this on the interwebs and while this is probably not new it's the first time I've seen it Schrodinger's vote The Clinton people tell me that if I don't vote for her then I am voting for Trump while at the same time the Trump people are telling me that if I don't vote for him then I am voting for Hillary. I've somehow managed to simultaneously vote for both and neither at the same time.

Chippy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I am curious about the reasoning behind some of the Hillary supporters - Bruce seems like a reasonable chap; I'm sure I'd buy you a beer at a pub and agree on the concept to disagree and freedom of speech, so - when you come across certain things about Hillary Clinton, like her oppinion on Black people (as super predators) or Robert Byrd, or when she laughed about the 12 year old rape victim/evidence presented, the George Soros connection, and all the other (long) list of things that would send other people to jail, or in my oppinion, at least be a limiting factor in who I voted for. ...Doesn't it change your voting choice of candidate at all? Is Trump really so much worse by comparison? Does he represent the "enemy" that much?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) He's a man. Bruce hates men. It is why he goes to strippers and hangs out with the ladies.

Chippy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) You mean the Justin Trudeau kind of man, that visits a mosque and talks about how great it is that diversity and equal opportunities are working - while he's surrounded by the men, and the women are sitting at the back of the mosque, hidden away on the upper floor?.

Volourn Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The 'he's a man' was directed towards Trump. A horrible man buyt a man nonetheless. I'm not even sure what Bruce is. Don't get me started on Turdeau. Him having a near heartattack due to butthurt over the EU not kissing his butt is HILARIOUS. Turdeau is the guy who claims to be about ';working with others' and a 'feminist' but this is the same guy who got so out of control that he 'accidentally' elbowed a woman because he spazzed out because the opposition wasn't kissing his 'royal' behind.

Chippy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Ahh. I always wanted to move to Canada. The thought of having a cabin in the woods, the moose, the bears, the big cats and bigger spiders didn't faze me at all. The fact that Canada exported cancer to the rest of the world (Asbestos) and still had a 25 years plan to continue after 2010 spoke to me as a country for manly men just like Schwarzenegger said. But then I saw the slutwalks and... I don't think I've got what it takes to be a Canadian. Besides if Trump wins you guys are guaranteed going to war over his pronoun usage.

Guard Dog Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hmmm.... Let's see here. The Congress passes and the President signs a law that REQUIRES everyone to purchase a widget. And THEY get to choose who gets to sell widgets. Now, it's been a while since I took an economics class but remind me again what happens to the price of widgets when the demand is high but the supply is low? And what happens to the bottom line of the folks who have widgets in those circumstances. Now complicate this by adding the fact the cost of widgets is subsidized for some by increasing the costs for many. Well if you are stuck paying full price for your widget you are getting widgeted right up to old widget hole aren't you? So who is the villain here? The folks telling you you must buy widgets (yours and others too) and you can only by them from the people we choose (who no doubt ponied up campaign contributions)? Or are the villains the ones selling the widgets? You know the bad thing about a free market is it really, really sucks when it isn't free and there is no market. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
