#1571 Re: The Garden » Just got a "new" car » 529 weeks ago
That car will be more reliable, and have a lower running cost in the long term. Also the longer you drive it, the lower the cost will be.
You did the right thing, don't worry about it now. Just enjoy it.

I guess it's also racist to point out that had Europeans not conquered the Americas, the continent wouldn't have any of the first world institutions that now dominate it.
It's not racist, but it's pretty ridiculous. You're telling us what would have happened if they had not? How on earth would you arrive at such a conclusion?

Every black person in America should be grateful their ancestors were slaves. Name a single African country where your average black is remotely as comfortable and privledged as your average black in America. The Latinos are no different.

I was originally surprised you were voting for Trump to be honest. Now...not so much.
#1574 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 529 weeks ago
Hilarious reading some of this. Dodge, deflect. Trump this, Trump that. Arguing over who cares more about something that doesn't matter. Nobody at all discussing the actual issues. You guys are just a reflection of the problem we have and why the establishment has you all by the short hairs. I get why none of the candidates are discussing the issues. Neither of them have a workable plan for anything.
What I don't understand is why you guys keep ignoring the issues and playing the game they want you to play while pretending to have moral superiority over the other side.
Nobody is going to change their mind. All of you are going to believe what you're going to believe. I am too, so don't think I'm not including myself. Nobody has made a single compelling argument in this whole fucking thread. Almost 200 pages of bullshit. I gave up trying to get you to think because clearly you're not interested in it; you're just going to spew the bullshit you've read on internet memes as fact (both sides). They both suck. They are both evil. The sooner you guys figure that out, the sooner we can have actual discussions towards a solution. As long as you're sitting here defending either candidate, you're just wasting your time and proving your ignorance. Fact.
False equivalency, irony and arrogance at its finest.
I don't recall anybody proclaiming how brilliant they were with such consistency.
The irony of course is that you repeat right wing mantra constantly, all while vehemently denying they have any impact your opinions. Your thoughts/ideas/commentaries all mirror the exact same talking points pumped out by the right wing media. I guess this is all a coincidence?
Quit using this thread as a means to work through your insecurities, and talk about issues then.

---standing ovation----
I agree with so much of this - but you know what they're all going to say? Nothing!
A big fat load of nothing.
Redirect the conversation back to "national polls" and other things that point to the possibility of upset.
At the end of the day....these hypocrisies and incoherent arguments never get addressed.
haha, yea dude. All we ever hear from the right wing pundits are how liberals want a "Nanny State."
Then Trump goes on TV and literally advocates a Nanny State....crickets.

Scared?
You said he had a good week... His good week was literally taking on the democratic platform and expanding entitlements, which is the exact opposite of the GOP, his party and his followers. It's no surprise his daughter was standing behind him and apparently was pushing this move, because she is a democrat and gave a democratic policy speech at their convention. If by good week you mean he switched party lines, refused to disclose his taxes, the debacle that was his own medical records with Dr. Oz and typical Trumpisms, then yeah, he had a good week!
This is such a weird thing. Anytime somebody would point out how stupid Palin was I'd read the same thing "Guess you're all scared of this STRONG woman?" Ummm, no. She's a moron, just like Trump is a moron. We are not scared of either one of them, although terrified at the prospect that they may lead this country.
Like you said, Trump rolled out the idea more entitlements this week. (Shrugs shoulders) Yet not a peep from anybody here. There were some rumblings from conservatives like Krauthammer, but not much more. Not to mention a great deal of his platform is to expand government and spend more money. Isn't this exactly what you conservatives have been bitching about for the last 8 years (in theory)? Do they not understand anything Trump is telling them? The COWARDS in the GOP won't stand up to him. They are falling in line, and oddly all their constituents who bemoaned "big government" are silent now, standing alongside Trump as well. WTF.
#1577 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 529 weeks ago
I heard not too long ago Trump was desperate for Kasich to be VP and for him to assume all responsibilities of President while he took the title. Kasich would be in charge of foreign and domestic policy, basically he would be president but not in official title. It was offered by Trump's son on Trump's behalf, near the point of begging, and Kasich's response was asking what exactly Trump was going to do as president and their response was, "to make America great again."
If that doesn't tell you he doesn't want to be president, I don't know what will. He does not want to work. He wants to play golf and give speeches. That's his idea of being president. And it should tell you something that Kasich wants absolutely nothing to do with him.
Anyone who thinks Trump will win is lying to themselves. Romney genuinely thought the polls had him beating Obama. Seriously. They were stunned at their defeat. Trump's will be worse.
Did you see the Mitt documentary on Netflix? I've actually watched it twice and enjoyed it. At the end Romney and Ryan are together talking and they're very confident about everything while looking at the crowds. He didn't even have a concession speech planned for that night. They thought for sure they would take it.
I doubt Trump is that confident, but his supporters sure seem to be. Yes he steamrolled a group of weaklings in the GOP primary, but this is hardly the same thing. Trump has most recently said he doesn't want moderators for the upcoming debates at all, haha. What does that tell you? The guy has said everything is rigged, that he hasn't been treated fairly and that he only will participate if they can ensure he's treated well. The bar is already set low for Trump (much like Palin) but these debates will surely expose an emperor with no clothes.

bigbri wrote:Trump has peaked too soon. He needed this a few weeks before the election. The polls have been swinging back and forth. They'll swing right back the other way in a month or so, and that's perfect timing for Hillary.
Even with this huge swing toward Trump, Hillary likely would win the election if it were held today.
I don't know. At this point looking at RCP, the state that would decide it is Virginia. Clinton leads by 1 there and the MOE is 4. It's a virtual tie.
Clinton has won every single poll in Virginia (although tied twice) and currently is above the margin of error on average. She could lose both Ohio and Florida (which is highly unlikely) and still win the election. I think VA, PA, MI, WI and CO are all locked down for her.
I guess if she lost VA, FL and OH she would lose. But what are the odds of Trump taking all of those states? I find it unlikely.

#1579 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 529 weeks ago
Trump soars to 6 point lead:
You and your national polls....:haha:
Never once have I seen you speak of electoral votes.
#1580 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chris Pitman suing Axl Rose for unpaid 2011 wages » 530 weeks ago
While he may be entitled for compensation, a lawsuit is a nasty way to go about it, particularly after all the pissing in the wind he's done in the past year.
How else should he collect unpaid money? Ask Axl nicely through Jarmo?
Even this route, Axl would probably just settle the case and Pitman would get less than he is owed anyway.
I found Pitman pretty useless, but if he's owed money, Axl needs to pay up. Lawsuits are very effective in getting people to start paying attention.
