In other news. A pretty good analysis of Obama's Foreign Policy. I'm not a fan of Jeffrey Goldberg's blogging but every so often his long form writing is compelling. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/04/the-obama-doctrine/471525/ edit: and the Dark Knight reference just reinforces for me how culturally in touch Obama is. spoon daddy fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Mar 11, 2016 |

PTD knowing nothing about food safety but still being certain he knew better than the FDA is one vivid example. The FDA doesn't ban the sale of raw milk. PTD was arguing that the sale of raw milk should not be banned. You were the one disagreeing with the FDA by saying that it should be banned.

Blahblahblah Trump says Tiennamen Square was great, sounding almost aroused as he described the power of the Chinese gov Blahblahblah Trump says that it's a goddammed shame that the Democrats don't plan on changing social security, and that if he were elected he wouldn't change social security. Yeah that's what he said All the other candidates say that anybody under 35-45 can suck poo poo - they'll have to keep paying but never get it, or when they do it'll be some garbage 401k Pretty lame debate, Trump seemed super low energy like he was trying to go centrist but said absolutely nothing that would appeal to the center. Got owned on his tariffs nonsense. Nothing matters

I think Trump is going to be a big draw in the voting booth, away from the judgement of their children and peers. I wouldn't worry about this    There is a reason conservatives switched to dogwhistles to get elected after that, most Americans don't want to admit to themselves that they're racist and need politicians to give them plausible deniability for their own consciences that their vote is for responsible spending or freedom or individualism or law and order or something.

This is a super pro-click BTW quote:“isis is not an existential threat to the United States,” [Obama] told me in one of these conversations. “Climate change is a potential existential threat to the entire world if we don’t do something about it.” Obama explained that climate change worries him in particular because “it is a political problem perfectly designed to repel government intervention. It involves every single country, and it is a comparatively slow-moving emergency, so there is always something seemingly more urgent on the agenda.”

VitalSigns posted:I wouldn't worry about this The "Silent Majority" hasn't been a thing since the mid 80s. What remains of that quote unquote movement is a minority that is anything but silent, they can't stop spewing their despicable poo poo. With the massive demographic shifts over the past 30 years the Southern Strategy no longer works. Of course Republicans are continuing to double down on it even though the immediately obvious lesson to take out of the 2012 loss was that they needed to stop being so loving racist toward Hispanics and maybe pretend to give a poo poo about black people. Whoops.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Yeah, people from other countries, particularly Scandinavia and the UK, frequently shake their heads about how "Americans make everything about race," but this country was drawn on racial lines like few others. Our constitution, our political system, even the shapes of our states derive from the permanent national debate about slavery and its legacy. The UK is actually flirting with the idea of leaving the EU because they don't want any o' them Ayyrabbs comin' in and rapin their white women. Sweden was looking to deny refugees for the same reasons. The racial backlash is by no means limited to those countries either - I'm thinking France specifically and everyone in general is happy to have the EU accept refugees as long as they stay in Greece and Eastern Europe (i.e. far away from your lily-white asses). The US may have a permanent national debate about slavery but at least we don't lose our poo poo the first time we see a non-white person the way Europeans do. Republican-led states in the US also flipped a poo poo about Syrian refugees but they are getting told where to shove it. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Popular Thug Drink posted:e: drat, 140 americans died of food poisoning related to dairy in a decade. 2000 americans die from alcohol poisoning every year. yeah i really don't see why raw milk is an extremely dangerous thing that needs to be banned Ok, serious question. Do you really not understand the difference between death from bacteria and death from improper or accidental use of something? The reason we have food inspection and regulations/banning is to prevent people unknowingly being exposed to e. Coli, listeria, botulism, etc. So we regulate and inspect suppliers and restaurants and require foods that are at risk to be processed to reduce the risk of people being exposed to those things. Alcohol poisoning, car accidents or whatever other moronic examples you or others bring up have nothing to do with the producers and suppliers of those products, those deaths are from misuse or accidents. And surprise, even then we regulate the production of those things so you know exactly how much alcohol you are buying or that it's actually ethanol and not methanol and that cars function properly like stopping when you press the brake pedal. We don't look at a number and say "ok it's below X number of deaths so it doesn't need regulation". You are using the exact same argument than gun people use when they throw out "Well people get stabbed so guess we better ban sharp things". That's the moron group you want to put yourself in? If you need a relevant example to help you understand moonshine is banned because it can contain methanol. Society agreed the risks of people going blind or worse because they don't know moonshine could have methanol despite there being a small handful of idiots who may like drinking it. Banning raw milk is for the same reason, to prevent people who do not know it has a far higher risk of containing bacteria that could injure or kill you isn't worth the trade off. (And I'm talking about wanting to ban it not whether it is banned before some idiot jumps in to say it's not actually banned everywhere) Toasticle fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Not that there aren't poop enclaves along the Atlantic coast, but a lot of the larger/older cities have been pretty socially progressive due to their early status as safe zones for what amounts to LGBT internally displaced persons whose lives would be in danger in most other places (at the time - it's only some places now). And Key West is a wonderful goofy place that doesn't deserve to fall into the sea either  Boon posted:While I was in Germany, I was thoroughly impressed at how much some progressive minded individuals I'd met absolutely detested the Turks.
