| Topic | One person, one vote. Kill the electoral college |

Antifar posted...LittleRoyal posted...Especially since all that's doing is giving the highly uneducated much more power then they go in having no clue what's going on and they are super easy to pursue Votes are only thrown away in the EC once more than 50% of the votes in a district are towards a single candidate. Basically if Micky Mouse could win a popular vote system, Micky Mouse could also in theory win in an EC system. The EC does not throw away joke votes. A lot of people under the EC just don't vote, because it feels pointless to them. --- |

What would even be the point of elections or local governments? Since everything would be democrat bullshit. Life is lived completely different in a city than not. You will not get 50%+ of the vote for a single party from just 3 cities alone. --- |

UnfairRepresent posted..."With gun sales dropping steeply, it's not surprising the NRA leadership and its allies in Congress want to make it easier for gun companies to sell silencers," stated Feinblatt. "This legislation would put gun company profits over public safety." That's not public safety. While silencers are good for hearing protection for the shooter, you can also get the same effect by putting on a proper headset to reduce the noise. --- |

| Tmaster148 09/14/17 1:30:48 PM #14 | Outside of undocument immigrants, I don't see an issue with letting green card holders and student visas vote. Also this only for local elections anyways, so who cares what a city decides who is okay to vote for it's local elections? --- |

I was responding to your response of someone else talking about mental disorders. The person you responded do never said anything about election loss giving people mental disorders, but that was your take away. I never said they had mental disorders. You implied that another poster saying these people had mental disorders was saying the mental disorders were caused from the election loss. Otherwise you wouldn't have responded to that the post the way you did. --- |

A lot of people don't want to deal with the stigma of seeking therapy or they just don't know where to go. The US doesn't have a great system for helping people with mental disorders. The article didn't. I was responding to your response of someone else talking about mental disorders. The person you responded to never said anything about election loss giving people mental disorders, but that was your take away. People just don't suddenly get mental disorders over something like an election loss and anyone suffering from a mental disorder and having issues with the election loss is likely someone who had a mental disorder before it. --- |

The US doesn't have a great system for helping people with mental disorders. Plus therapy isn't some magical solution to mental disorders. Therapy can help, but it won't necessarily get rid of the mental disorder. --- |

| Tmaster148 09/14/17 12:32:01 PM #16 | DevsBro posted... And most employers will take money from their employee's paychecks for income taxes. Illegals citizens can't exactly file tax returns to get back any excess money they sent. The federal government actually gets a ton of tax forms that they can't figure out who they belong too. It's not necessarily the employers faking the SSN as much as the illegals buying fake SSN just to get a job. It's not that I'm saying all illegals are getting paying into income/social security taxes, but it does happen and there's not much our government can do about it. It's just something we'll never have a concrete number for, because it's hard to track down people not in the system. --- |

| Tmaster148 09/13/17 3:38:56 PM #7 | DifferentialEquation posted... Criticizing not Trump should not be a fireable offense. It should be a criminal offense. You really fucked up this sentence. Also sounds like you are saying "Not criticizing Trump should not be a fireable offense. It should be a criminal offense." Which goes against your gimmick. --- |
| Topic | Do you think climate change is real? |
| Tmaster148 09/13/17 3:15:41 PM #11 | ForestLogic posted... I voted "Not Sure" but I lean towards Yes. I believe it's real, but I don't believe it's as apocalyptic as it's made out to be. Earth's climate does fluctuate over time naturally, so I'm not the type of person to lose their shit anytime something odd happens weather-wise. THAT SAID I do also take a "better safe than sorry" approach and generally support measures that seek to limit damage to the environment, just because in the event man is unequivocally, explicitly, solely responsible for climate change, that's a big risk to take. While the dangers are likely being exaggerated too much, there are real dangers if the average temp keeps rising. Hurricanes feed off the temperature of the water and climate change will lead to more powerful hurricanes. The other thing is climate change would be much less of an issue if it wasn't for the fact humans are playing a direct impact into the acceleration of the increases temperatures. I think the problem is that too many people put too much emphasis in trying to complete solving climate change, which is an impossible task. At the point we are at, we can't revert our impact only prevent us from making it worse. --- |

People convicted of felonies have a pretty hard time getting jobs after being released. Plus while locked up they have reduced rights and some like sex offenders don't even get all their rights back even after being released. There is no way any prisoner has more rights than anyone not in prison nor does society treat them well. --- |

| Tmaster148 09/12/17 11:50:27 AM #22 | SpiralDrift posted... I don't understand why people as big as PewdiePie still even rely on youtube anymore. Youtube is still a huge platform and even with the issues with ad revenue due to changes youtube makes with telling content creators they would still lose quite a bit of revenue not putting stuff up on youtube. Although a lot of content creators are also moving towards other ways to make money outside of youtube ad revenue. I've seen many youtube channels where they also have a patreon for people to donate money to help them create more videos. --- |

| Tmaster148 09/12/17 9:49:43 AM #20 | FF_Redux posted... All the haters tho, it seems like you never played an online game before? People are really bad with their language there, it's not an excuse as Pewds said, but I guess he got caught up in that. Especially if you have a huge fanbase you should not say things like that, nevertheless it's not unforgivable. No one would've of cared if this was just a word like fuck or shit. It's the fact that in his anger he decided to yell a racial slur is raising eyes. Plus getting angry doesn't excuse your actions either. --- |

| Tmaster148 09/11/17 3:53:19 PM #46 | dotsdfe posted... I'd say the only episode that really does the "deep thoughts" thing is episode 3 with the psychiatrist. Episode 2 had it a bit, but a lot of the focus was on the characters just handling the fallout of the divorce rather than anything super deep. A lot of people had too high expectations, because of the wait. Even though the wait between S1 and S2 was about the same time, there wasn't as much anticipation for S2 of Rick and Morty as there was with S3. --- |
