Can any Kiwis and/or Swedes weigh on on "the Titanic was a tragedy because they lost"? In my mind, he's referring to the sinking of the RMS Titanic and that makes no goddamn sense.

The Wahine that he refers to is a famous New Zealand ship sinking, so uh ... that's one point of coherency sorta?

They're the kid of people who think halal meat magically transforms you into a Muslim, I'm sure they have some weird conspiracy theories about Titanic somewhere in the back.

Okay, I think I've got half of it figured out. The full interaction quote:New Zealand got knocked out of the groups stages of the first round of the Cup in SA. We drew all of our matches. quote:your not suggesting the titanic are you? the titanic was a tragedy because they lost why wood new Zealand use the word undefeated when you get knock up and out and around and up and down next you'll find something positive about the wahine sorry I apologise for the xenophobia I'm Swedish bi cough I came from a family mummy was called ricky and daddy was called ben. my name is Elton beaver sanfran quote:Let's talk about the Titantic. The Titanic was a tragedy because they lost - why would New Zealand use the word "undefeated" when they did poorly? Next time, you'll find something positive about the Wahine sinking.

The second half I think is: I apologise for the xenophobia I'm Swedish bi Although I'm not sure how having gay parents causes unavoidable xenophobia to the point you have to apologise about it?

Ricky is also a nickname for Erika in Sweden, so we can't assume they had a gay mom-dad and a gay dad-dad.

Yeah I suppose that could definitely be the case, but it wouldn't really be worth commenting on if it were a mum and dad (not that it is in any case). I kinda just assumed the kid meant gay when they said bi due to bad english.

The Green Party sucks. In my state, Illinois, they got all the other third party candidates removed from the ballot in the 2012 general based on technicalities despite being part of an agreement with every other even decently sized party INCLUDING the Democrats and Republicans to have the ballot open to all third parties. They're like every bad stereotype of privileged yuppie hippies.

The Green Party of Canada are a bunch of loons and is led by a crazy woman who believes Wi-Fi is killing children and other such nonsense. "Bad Stereotype of Privileged Yuppie Hippies" is a good descriptor for them and anyone in their fanbase.

They've also got some... Less than smart platform positions, like treating homeopathy like it's medicine. Dunno their stance on vaccines off-hand, though. E: the US Green Party, that is.

Oh yeah, the Canadian party is all over this poo poo too. When called out on it the leader said that homeopathy  accidentally made its way to their platform. That's nothing, though. She's also notorious for  and she even once presented a 9/11 truther petition to parliament.

God drat, so all the Bernie Bros switching to Stein are showing they care less about actual. real change, and more about being edgy contrarians. The first thing I saw was "Uh ACTUALLY Hillary, Jill Stein is the first woman to win a primary" becuase winning the Green Party nomination is the same as winning the nomination from the current sitting presidents party.

And if you are counting third parties, she's not even close to the first. From a quick look, Linda Jenness got almost 100k votes in the 1972 general as the Socialist Worker's Party candidate.

It's just so obvious that people hate Hillary on a personal level, and its 100% because there's been 25 years of right wing media saying how she's literally Hitler, even when she's running against Hitler. I see on facebook people saying "Trump just says things to get votes, Hillary actually has a giant evil plans she's not talking about" when ever someone else posts about Trumps most recent massively racist comment.

I'm most likely voting Soltysik/Walker(SPUSA) in the general, its just hilarious watching people who normally ignore politics respond to a more or less bog standard primary like it's some unique situation with crazy new rules designed entirely to screw Bernie. It's honestly funny how often I get accused of being a Hillary shill despite never having voted D for president because they're too right wing.
