Republicans have been rotten since they oversaw the war on the middle class via Reganomics.

Moore is to Christianity what ISIS is to Islam.

Not an accurate analogy at all, but I'd probably get modded for explaining why.

Both make poor interpretations of their religion to justify evil.

It's clearly not meant to equate their impact on the world. If you choose to get angry because you want to see me trying to compare other things have fun!

I'm pretty sure half the time I get modded it's from taking my post out of context.

Is the note going to be "Didn't read the rest of the thread"?

The only difference between a 'Christian' and a non-Christian is that a Christian has accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. It doesn't suddenly absolve them of the consequences of their actions, no matter how odious or repugnant; that's what a lot of people, Roy Moore included, don't understand. A person can become a Christian in the last second before their death; so Moore's tirade is a hindrance to those Christians that are out there spreading the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Moore is to Christianity what ISIS is to Islam.

There is a brand of Christianity out there who seem to think it is justification for all the worst aspects of their personality. They don't need to maintain any of the morality the religion espouses, like concern for the poor, but are happy to use it to justify their own bigotry.

This has nothing to do with Christians vs not Christians. This is simply about the morals, or in the case of Moore the lack of.

yeah i read that the jury wasn't allowed to see that video beforehand either. Supposedly the police department really fought to keep that video from going public and they really only released it after the not guilty verdict and even that took a lot. Like a lawsuit

Why would the willingly release proof they defended a cold blooded murderer?

I just saw the video... how did this cold blooded murderer get off?

He is playing sick horror movie type games making the dude crawl before murdering him for no reason.

The right obviously is way too willing to protect and even celebrate scumbags. But the left also has a problem where they bend like a wet noodle over the most trivial, meaningless bull shit.

So, you've never heard of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Anthony Weiner, Al Franken, John Conyers, Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski, Woody Allan...

To be fair, Al Franken did finally resign (unless he's taking back his resignation after being inspired by MSNBC's example) and Weinstein isn't being protected any more (and technically Weiner isn't really protected any more either, although the fact he was continually shielded by the left facilitated the worst of his behavior).

What would Al Franken be inspired by? Taking a step back would pretty much remove all moral superiority democrats currently wield over republicans.

A ridiculous accusation which probably would mean more coming from somebody else. More importantly, in what way do you erroneously believe me to be proven wrong? Did Sam Seder not make the joke? Did MSNBC not choose to fire him over the joke then decide to bring him back?

You mean did they change their minds with context?

MSNBC has reversed their decision to fire Sam, and he has accepted his position back.

Unsurprising for a "news" outlet devoid of any integrity. It's also the only way to make the situation more absurd.

if they had no integrity, they wouldn't have realized their mistake and hired him back.

the fact that they realized, "hey, maybe this dude is actually just a giant fucking troll and no one should listen to him" is outstanding

If they had realized "hey, this dude is actually just a giant fucking troll and nobody should listen to him" they wouldn't have hired Seder in the first place. Because, you know, it's Sam Seder.

At any rate, it wasn't a mistake. Either they should stuck by their decision -- which was wholly warranted -- or not fired in the first place. As far as integrity goes, what does it say about a news network which caves to firing somebody then caves to bringing somebody back? There's no integrity there. They just go whichever way the wind is blowing. It further exposes them as spineless shits utterly lacking in values and integrity.

You're one of those people who decides something and refuses to change his mind even when proven 100% to be wrong.

Why would anyone do this?

Play this on PC.

...except for the fact that selective reporting can be and is used for disinformation. Especially when they choose to report on unverified claims. Even when they note that it's purely speculation, it still creates an impression within peoples' minds which is why it's completely irresponsible journalism.

And I bet you think Fox News is a beacon of news reporting with the way they literally fabricate stories and run like a state propaganda channel.

I still love how your automatic deflection is, "But... but... Fox News!", despite the fact that I already disparaged Fox News once in this topic by putting in the same camp as MSNBC. You're emblematic of partisan nonsense ruining the media today by assuming that anybody who dares criticize your echo chamber must be on the other side of the partisan spectrum.

And, despite the narrative you (and others) so fervently clung to and tried to advance, I'm not sure I've once spoke favorably of Fox News on PotD or anywhere else. And virtually the extent of my knowledge of Fox News comes from clips shown on the Jon Stewart-era Daily Show, the Colbert Report, Last Week Tonight, and similar programs.

Putting fox news int he same camp of any of the other main stream media sources is the problem.

It's not "just as bad". It is objectively worse.

You only say this because you're a hardcore leftist (as I've seen you demonstrate many times... I think you're one of the guys quick to scream "nazi" at people who disagree with you). As someone with the ability to think for myself I see them both as pretty equally garbage

lol hardcore. And no, I don't call people nazis. You know unless someone started talking about genetic cleansing, but instead of responding to them I would simply report them.

Last game with a US release was Teirkries (something like that) I'm pretty sure. It was ok.

But 5 was back in like... 05 or 06 wasn't it? It was a great game, but it had an very slow first few hours before it became an amazing game. It also came after IV which wasn't very enjoyed.

With more people comes a need for more land, you can't have one without the other.

I can see a school requiring all students to dress in suits as a condition to go on a voluntary field trip.

There's nothing to suggest that suits were a dress code for the trip and it would be weird for that to happen.

Conner4REAL posted...

I can also see CNN saying to the kid "no you Cannot enter the premises of our private business wearing that".

And if CNN set the restrictions on the school for the dress code of what they will and will not allow that's not even close to triggering a first amendment issue.

The story explicitly states that it was the school which made that decision and it pretty explicitly goes against the SCOTUS ruling.

There is no scotus ruling that lets to wear anything you want to school.

Fuck Trump and fuck everything he stands for.

Qian Fenxiang was heavily pregnant who hid herself and her 3 y/o daughter on a housebat in Suzhou Canal away from a homeland and gave birth to Kati who would have been aborted under China's draconian one child policy in 1979 to reduce poverty.

Someone born in 1979 would be 38 not 22.

Absolutely not, she is an individual, not a company. She had no clue how far her thing would spread, if she had a lawyer she would have known to put (up to X) but she doesn't. Because she is just a person.

Anyone who expects her to is insane. People don't just have 200k, who the fuck thinks 25-50 cents will add up to 200k?

I liked the suggestion that she do a payment plan which would eventually reach $200k.

No that is stupid.

It's still not a race. If you're claiming that they discriminated because he was Middle-Eastern then sure, that's kind of a race. However, if I converted to Islam tomorrow, that doesn't make me a member of a new race. Likewise, converting from Islam to anything else doesn't make a Muslim a new race. Maybe it's time to drop the ignorant as fuck pretense that religion is race which, by the way, is a racist stereotype, you awful racists you! (And also drop the idea that nationality is the same as race, which it also isn't. At least nationality has a closer correlation to race, though.)

And yet I'm not any closer to caring about debating semantics for no reason.

I'm sure you'll find a Trumper say it's up for debate.

Trump re-election looks like a longshot.

Until you factor in the shitshow that is the Democrat party. They have no one to run against him and his election has served as a vanguard for a rising political demographic.

I'd also imagine he'd get a lot more people out voting if he would actually get to removing the menace of illegal immigrants and anchor babies like he always talked about.

And listening to poll numbers is a tremendous mistake, as evidence by the Presidential election.

Rising political demographic? White nationalists? Because I haven't seen any other demographic out in the streets in support of him. They aren't a rising demographic.

Did you see the votes in Virginia? Trump is being rejected. He won because enough people thought they would give him a chance. Give him the benefit of the doubt, "he couldn't be that much of a dumb ass could he?" But all those people who thought he would stop the stupid shit and actually be a president once he won found he didn't stop.

There is no benefit of the doubt a second time. But I know you're not going to care. You're delusional, you hate those "liberals" and you just have to assume that they are all kids and illegals or some other condescending thoughts. Enjoy 2018.

The republican party exists for a few reasons. Starting wars. Killing the middle class. Giving power and wealth to the elite.

lolwut? Which is like claiming that the Democrats exist to create a serf-state where the only people with power or money are in government. It's a ridiculous mischaracterization which overlooks that Democrats are *also* big into starting wars, killing the middle class, and giving power/wealth to the elite. Hell, pretty much the whole point of government is war and empowering/enriching elites.

Well #1 you stay true to you. You edit that quote to only try replying to the part you think you'll manage well on.

Too bad you failed there. Democrats aren't trying to decentralize to return us to a feudal state, but one of the two parties is!

We stand to see the largest redistribution of wealth since Reagan. People don't hire more when they are sitting on money, they hire more to meet demand. They have no defense for this disaster.

There is one upside, lets see how those republicans defend themselves in 18 and 20. They might make the donors happy, but raising taxes on the middle class to cut them for the billionaires is not a winning strategy for the voters.
