    Well, I disagree that your hypothetical situation is what the matter is about – that is a case of religious discrimination, not of someone's beliefs.

    which brings us right back around to comissar. in which a person who disagrees with the act of towing cars somehow found his way into the cabin of a tow truck.

    anyways I believe the issue is as I described sadly I can't find a better video but:


    and this stuff has been going on for a while, bonus points because a name from the current election shows up here;

    I did the 'I side with' quiz a while back. No real surprise. If I recall correctly Cruz was my top match around 80%. The lowest republican rated about 65%. The top democrat was about 10%. I don't remember what Gary Johnson scored.

    bleh Stalinism? really Newsbuff? Sokolov is a Marxist at most extreme, not even a Leninist or Trotskyist.

    good joke though.

    Anyhow. Amused that its GOP vs Trump now.

    He crossed the line by insulting women/doing naughty things. Blacks, hispanics and others weren't enough.


    Soap opera antics, brilliant

    I find it interesting that the party of Personal Responsibility has a candidate who is always whining about things being rigged or unfair.

    If he's winning, it's because he's awesome. If he's losing, it's because he's awesome and people are cheating, lying, or overpowe - wait, no, that's Pox.

    Sokolov The One True Cactuar Octopi

    Conversation with a Conservative friend on my Facebook:

    Me: "Now, if America didn't have a shitty voting system and had more than 2 viable parties, then you'd have a different scenario."

    Her: "We really can't have more than 2 parties. Why? Say we have 5 parties. Say people are approximately somewhat equally split among the 5 (or more). All the sudden, we've elected someone into office who the vast majority (over 80%) of the people don't support."

    I start to discuss some different options for voting systems (such as Alternative Vote), or Parliamentary systems where you don't vote for one person at the top, etc.

    Her: "okay, ummm......I applaud the creativity with solutions, but...no."

    She declined to explain why.

    And that, in a nutshell, is how the majority of my conversations with conservatives go. They have a conviction, and don't want to talk about it other than state how wrong everyone who disagrees with them is, and are uninterested in learning about other ways of doing things.

    (Which is why it's somewhat more fun to talk here, cause at least SOME of you guys explain your positions.)

    I don't have to explain anything, mind your own damn business.

    Edit: I forgot the "you can totally look it up"
