TJ stop tainting my side of this argument by supporting it.

Yeah, a country being bankrupt sucks. You know what also sucks? Having a populace of unhappy, uneducated, unhealthy, overworked slaves.

Lyrical, do you understand that we all agree that pure Statism and pure Capitalism are both terrible extremes, and we're all just quibbling over where the most optimal point on that sliding scale is?

And nobody here is proposing the opposite (except for maybe Dumar). Lets get this back on track though.Yousaid the Nordic countries weren't worth a shit, andyouwere hilarious ignorant and wrong, just as I said you were. Now you're trying to distract the thread with absurd comparisons between...

To lyrical, Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Socially Democratic, etc. all mean the same thing. He uses them interchangeably.

I don't think Lyrical actually understands the terms we're using right now. But his attempt to move the goal posts after he undoubtedly wiki'd the Nordic countries for the first time in his life and learned that they're basically the nicest places to live in the history of Earth is pretty...

You want me to provide evidence that the nordic countries are "worth a shit"? Okay, which metrics would you like to use? Social mobility? Inequality? Median incomes? Poverty? GDP per capita? Happiness? Health? Education? Crime rates? Who are we comparing them to? Lets lay down some ground rules.

Hilariously ignorant and wrong.

In the context of the times in which it was created, it was incredible. In the context of our times now, it's pretty shitty. Giving it the credit or even a majority of the credit for our current standing in the world is naive.

2016 spoiler for Merlin: Every single candidate is going to run on "change."

Too complicated. Just blame President no matter what for simplicity.

And all the Congresses get off Scott Free, as usual.

Glass houses, bro.

It's the Olympics, bro. Not a Starcraft tournament.

I guess I can understand complaints about it seeming disjointed (although I disagree). To me, the first half connects just fine to the second half. The whole "what happened to the other crew?" question is prevalent throughout the film, so I don't feel like showing us the answer to that plot...

We're in the minority. Almost everyone I've talked to about it disliked the ending. Dunno why.

I love Sunshine. One of my favorite movies. Ending and all! I've posted this here before, but I really don't get why people don't like the ending. Also, lol astro.

Seems unlikely than any good can come of this.

So, turns out this was a pretty accurate simulation of the actual game.

"Richard Sherman, Russel Wilson, and... and... uhhh, Shawn Kemp!"

If you let other people know which team you support before that team wins a championship, you run the risk of people making fun of you whenever your team comes up short. Best to just wait several decades until your team finally manages to accomplish something, and then tell everyone all about...

You sure you didn't want to include in this post some cultural symbol that conveys to all of us how much sex you're not having?

Sean's only contribution to the entire thread includes anime. Shocking.

Remember when Kaepernick gave the opposing team the football a bunch of times in the 4th quarter, and now that team is in the Super Bowl?

I love the one where the Bronco is just clinging on for dear life as the Seahawk player drags him along.

Because he has a compulsion to play devil's advocate no matter what the argument is. He thinks it adds value to the discussion. He's wrong.

The Trayvon remarks aren't the same. In theory, his remarks could've been slightly different and I might agree with you that he was just being politically expedient, but that didn't happen. You're reading too much into it and seeing something that isn't there. His comments were completely...

It's definitely less of a gap than 77 cents for every dollar, but politicslol. Arguing against closing the supposed wage gap is just a good way to lose votes.

The accompanying article. Some of the gifs kill me.Breaking Madden: The Super Bowl, in which the machine bleeds to death - SBNation.com

Lighten up, Francis.

The amount of credit/blame we assign to the President is completely out of whack relative to their actual power in general. Humans just have this fixation with 'leadership' and 'scapegoats' that they just can't get over. For most issues, the Presidency largely just acts as a decoy to take the...

If you frame it as gay rights as a whole (not just marriage), he's been making positive changes throughout basically his entire time in office. I mean, the President can't just wave his hand and make gay marriage legal in every state by himself. What should he have done that he hasn't done already?

I think he stopped just short of that, and basically called for an examination to determine whether or not that was the case. I thought his comments were completely reasonable at the time. I still do not understand why my team is so defensive about it, or why the other team thinks his comments...

Denver 27 - Seattle 20

Economy isn't worse, drones are good, didn't invade Iran, winded down the idiotic war in Iraq, followed through on Osama. Better than Bush in every way.

Yes, I do understand attempts to "manipulate opinion into action." That hardly happened in this particular case. Maybe your perpetual obsession with being contrarian and playing devil's advocate No Matter What has you seeing shit that didn't actually happen? His comments are totally benign. He...

Fuck off, you moron. To "fuel" their arguments? Abloo abloo, fanaskin needs to wring his hands! The President was only even asked for his comments because it wasalreadyviewed widely as a racial issue. Furthermore, go and watch the video again. The majority of his comments were focused on...

You didn't. Race was a factor in Obama's comments.

If I claimed 'President Obama is Right-handed,' how many paragraphs do you guys think Screamfeeder would use to correct me?

I guess I incorrectly assumed there was a reason people gave a shit about this that I just wasn't picking up on, and that you clowns didn't just spend like 5 pages arguing over something that is literally completely meaningless and benign with zero implications about anything one way or the...
