You guys think American exceptionalism is irritating, try on Texan exceptionalism for a second. I don't know if people who live in Delaware are like "Delaware is a unique and the best state ever and should lead the nation in everything because we know how to do stuff right" but that's what it's like in Texas. With Texas not Delaware.

I'd like to think blacks and Latinos would be less focused on loving over a white minority and more on improving the country - white people have a pretty lovely track record on that front - but then I'm not a FYGM-ite projecting my attitude onto others so

During Weinergate I said an aside along the lines of "who is dumb enough to think a dick pic is a good idea" and there were some posters who were like "Maybe they don't work for YOU but...". So either they are dumb or the people they "worked" for are dumb. Wait I solved it: they are all dumb.

No, although all Delawareans are assigned a corporate entity, which they feed and water and bring in its mail. It's one of the prices we pay for having no sales tax.

I had a professor who uses powerpoints wonderfully.

I also had professors whose classes I avoided because they'd just put up the entire textbook on slides and read it. For a math class.

D&D's biggest surprise will come when they find out that the minorities will do exactly that and not as some brilliant and complex implementation of re-distributive justice, but because they're greedy morons just like the rest of us. Human nature is a bitch and doesn't obey dramatic narrative.

Not so much good as "stop worshiping false gods." It's obnoxious listening to every successive generation of entitled youths describe how the downtrodden will be such altruistic people when they take over. As if there's a long history of that in the world. Thank God the Americans got away from the British so they wouldn't repeat the mistakes of th- oh.

Being an ultra liberal white man is the best because I get to wring my hands and get outraged at the white male patriarchal power structure and at the same time reap it's benefits :twisted:

I can even try literally as hard as I can all the time to tear it down and it still won't hurt me because it's impossible.
