I won't be watching the debate. I will be self-medicating, though.

MD-1118

I'm more or less of the same opinion as Spidey on this one. I agree though, patriotism isn't something that should necessarily be legislated.

So... what exactly are you saying here, Ferno? Posting a link and a single quote from said link doesn't say much. Just asking for clarification on your stance, maybe some thoughts on the matter. I don't like making the comparison, but that's a TB-tier OP. Please elaborate.

Hillary is fast approaching the age where senility, Alzheimer's, and dementia become real issues for many people. She is also the age at which my own grandfather suffered a stroke and had to have a quadruple heart bypass. Embolisms are just the tip of the iceberg, although still very real threats. C...

But it doesn't change the point that more Americans die as a direct consequence of consuming chicken than from allowing Syrian refugees into the country. True, but as I said I think his qualm was more with the 'fact' that chicken is deadly to eat than the idea that it's generally worse than Syrian ...

"I never inhaled" That's a legitimate distinction to make though, as any smoker worth his salt (and some that aren't) can tell you; the distinction being which type of cancer you're more likely to contract. The simple act of eating the chicken in and of itself isn't what kills. It's the c...

What’s the point…who are you going to convince? You don’t even need one hand to count the people on this board who don’t know Trump is a liar. Maybe if we are all lucky, aliens will attack and take over. If Trump gets elected that will never happen, because he'll just build a wall around the planet...

I have to say, I don't own a gun, but if someone broke into my place with the intent of stealing, say, my computer, I have several knives they can have instead.

What in the hell is nuclear warming?

like Stein views vaccines? Or, like Johnson claims we shouldn't bother addressing climate change because the sun will eventually destroy the earth? I don't approve of Stein's stance on vaccines and her statements regarding that stance, yeah, but then you already knew that because I already said it....

MD-1118

dude, if you cannot accept change in a political person on controversial issues, or the fact that mostly true is vastly superior to most(including Stein, including Johnson when being evaluated, Clinton still comes out on top), heaven help you finding a political spokesperson for your points of view...

100% of people who are murdered are killed by other people.

I see… Yea that’s probably because of the huge discount you get on such copies, because they were originally sold in bulk to a manufacturer, and they don’t want to sell at that rate to a single builder. I don’t know, just guessing here. Probably, but at that point they're just being greedy assholes...

posting some hack video of spliced together out of context nonsense is more intellectual garbage. Post as much as you wish, it won't convince me of much past your lack of ability to handle the discourse. She said "I have been very consistent over the course of my entire life. I have always fou...

I know. I just think it's a bit shady to say "you can pay for the right to use this but you can't install it on a computer you built."

MD-1118

can you find her opinion stating she was 'against' it. She was just rather non-committal, as were most politicians. I'm going to repost this, since apparently you missed it the first time around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY77j6uBHI It's literally the very first issue addressed, and she is q...

But no, you can’t buy Windows 7 and treat it like it belongs to you.

Let's just say I paid for that particular OS once in my life and I refuse to spend more money on another brand new "official" copy just because I built a new computer, if you catch my drift.

I can install whatever I want, I'm still using my "free" copy of Windows 7.

I never said anything about eating. it's supposed to be analogy -- a really poor one at that. This stems from Trump Jr's twitter image asking everyone if they would eat a bowl full of skittles even if three are poisoned; which is of course referring to immigrants. Dumbest thing I ever saw, and of c...

Say, MD.... You're a "millennial," right? The Clinton campaign made this video just for you! http://descentbb.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23280 You'll want to vote for her now, right? ;) If pressed for an answer, I consider myself the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Trail_...

Look at it this way. If there were thirty thousand skittles to test, would you have the time to test each and every one? Or would you figure out a way to do it faster? I don't know anyone who would, let alone could , eat thirty thousand skittles all at once, so... why not just test the ones you int...

MD-1118

Why not just test the skittles to see which ones are poison, throw those ones out, and enjoy regular non-poisoned skittles?

I'd love to see a Senate that was, for random example, 40 Dem, 40 GOP, 7 conservative, 4 libertarian, 9 Greens. Then, you'd have real compromise, consensus building and coalition building that actually results in legislation. Random disclaimer aside, I hardly think that would be much different. You...

how so, and in what ways? Please, show some evidence, if possible.

if you are still pondering the viability of Bernie Sanders, who is both CAMPAIGNING for Clinton and not on the ballot in any state in the nation, one has to question whether you are really paying any serious attention to the Presidential race at all. Why even bother to vote if you are that uninform...

Stein has made some recent statements that border on the seriously delusional. Long ago disqualified as a fake candidate with no real interest in the actual office at hand. Bernie had it right the other day: we need a third party, or maybe more, but those have to be raised from the ground up, not w...

This seasonal thread isn't about any of the usual stuff. I considered it, but I've pretty much covered everything I wanted to in my past seasonal posts. So!

Yeah, I'm not too fond of some of that technology they're putting in new cars right now either. Software upgrades? EEEEEK!

I find it interesting that most people here seem to think that physical punishment can be warranted at times, and may even be necessary, yet vision is unwilling to accept that it is ever anything aside from uncivilised bad parenting for idiots and morons.

Why isn't passive resistance listed along with logic, bribes, or threats? Mainly because from everything I've read about passive resistance, it's used against those in authority, not by those in authority. Actually I'm pretty sure in some instances you could say it's used by those in authority (cou...

Great advice, if you want to be restricted to a world where morality is defined by physical pain. Lake of Fire anyone? How's that biblical morality working out for us? Nice try, except that I never once said it had to be physical, and I don't buy into that lake of fire nonsense any more than you do...

Vision, you do realise that punishment only works if it hurts, right? The original latin word that led to 'punishment' means 'pain'. Pretty telling, I think. My parents beat the hell out of me as a kid. Did they go overboard? Yeah, probably, but in some ways I think I turned out better than I would ...

Well, we try, Spidey, but that's a lot of clever titles to come up with, and we're busy people with non-dumb decisions to make.
