| Topic | "The universe shouldn't exist", says Cern physicists |
| Polycosm 11/06/17 10:55:50 AM #89 | Of course the universe should exist, given that we're around to observe it. Who knows how many other potential cosmoses fizzled out without ever being recorded? --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | Trump orders steak "well done" and drenches it in ketchup |
| Polycosm 11/06/17 10:45:48 AM #45 | I mean, I'm sort of joking around too but this is also kind of an impeachable offense. We have a president who literally eats burnt steak with ketchup and retweets Pepe the Frog. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | So, serious question:what do people actually think will happen if guns are taken |
| Polycosm 11/06/17 10:25:55 AM #11 | The US citizenry has a long history of ignoring laws against victimless crime. I imagine that a war on guns would play out similarly to the war on drugs. A significant portion of the population wouldn't respect the law, and otherwise law-abiding citizens would participate in a black market. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | Alt righters continuously trying to claim all mass shooters have 'antifa' links |
| Polycosm 11/06/17 8:38:34 AM #8 | Antifa is guilty of arson, bomb threats, and a handful of instances of assault, but no mass shootings that I know of. I'm not sure why some people feel the need to put themselves through mental gymnastics to blame Antifa for crimes they didn't commit... Antifa's actual track record is already enough to warrant condemnation without these false charges piled on top. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Polycosm 11/04/17 4:44:18 AM #33 | A rational, principled argument can be made in favor of lowering taxes on the wealthy. But you can't advocate that while also effectively raising taxes on everyone else. The GOP tax bill stinks of corruption. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket. (thengamer.com/guru) |

| Topic | Hillary Clinton- "we should have rigged the Palestine election" |
| Polycosm 11/04/17 2:18:09 AM #18 | I mean, I can't stand Hillary but lordy, the timing of these tapes. Russia and Assange desperately want Americans to take their eyes off the ball. And while WikiLeaks, to their credit, deals in facts and hard evidence, their agenda couldn't be any more obvious. Any time WikiLeaks posts a new batch of documents, it's important to take note and file them away for later... and then ask yourself, what information are they omitting, and what are they trying to distract me from? --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Polycosm 11/02/17 6:10:28 PM #271 | Malcolm_McGuffi posted... I think there's more than a little historical revisionism in there and Donna Brazile trying to save her own skin Unfortunately I couldn't be around to reply earlier so my comment is probably long buried and forgotten, but this is exactly what I meant by Brazile's "sanctimonious" tone. She may not have been one of the worst (or earliest) conspirators, but she was a willing participant towards the end. @darkphoenix181 --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | Donna Brazlie sells out the DNC |
| Polycosm 11/02/17 12:48:22 PM #149 | There's vital information in here, but it's so hard to stomach Donna Brazile's sanctimonious tone. Still, the DNC needs to lance this boil now, even while larger, more dangerous Republican scandals loom overhead. Much of the recent criticism of Hillary and Democrats has been totally baseless and deflectionary... but this particular scandal is real and must be dealt with before the next election, no matter how many other important, competing stories are in the news. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | So Trump is getting rid of deducting state/local taxes from our fed tax return? |
| Polycosm 11/02/17 12:31:39 PM #30 | Current median price is right under the $500K line: https://www.zillow.com/ca/home-values/ http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-home-prices-20170919-story.html (Be careful if you skim the numbers; listing price =/= selling price). To be precise: more than 50% (i.e. "most") of CA homes are worth over $450K. That's up $170K over the past 2 years, and still rapidly climbing. We're due to pass the $500K mark within a matter of months, not years. And the point still stands-- this tax plan will screw most Californians. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | Do terrorists deserve rights. |
| Polycosm 11/01/17 2:28:46 PM #12 | If they're convicted after a fair trial then I'm fine with stripping away a bunch of their rights. But once you start declaring people "terrorists" without due process, and once you start putting them on watchlists and preemptively taking away rights... then we have a problem. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | 12 year old girl comes out as gay during talk at Mormon church, gets mic cut |
| Polycosm 11/01/17 12:53:56 AM #30 | Yeah, the Mormon church is flagrantly sexist and homophobic. I have dozens of Mormon friends who disagree with their elders and are pushing back against some of the church's outdated traditions, but progress has been slow.
