Thundercracker posted:The weird thing is, that's completely consistent with the Bible. Rend onto Ceasar, etc... If the religious wright really cared about the bible they would be a whole lot different and possibly a force for good. one thing you'll learn is that they are very selective about the bible, if they even bother to read it at all. Plus a whole lot of mental gymnastics. I remember one bullshit thing I delt with in my youth was jean are a sin. The argument being that to be more christ like we shouldnt wear jeans. I got some people pissed when I pointed out that JESUS NEVER WORE PANTS. I have a chuckle gently caress on facebook responding to kasich failure with a post "but my vote will count in heaven" I ranted about heaven isnt a loving democracy, got a line about how paul talked about how the church is the body of christ blah blah blah. Thats why I said that christian is changing not into a religious practice but a political one. The most common form I've seen with people is when they join a church they like, AKA one that tells them everything they want to hear. When argue with this people they bring up MY RELIGION AND MY GOD HOLD THE SEX SHOULD BE BETWEEN ONE MARRIED MAN AND ONE MARRIED WOMAN etc. Which is really just them taking god and saying my views are god's view, and now I have to argue with why god is wrong. Prestor can tell you what happens when you break these peoples world view or prove them wrong its really not pretty.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:Older post but it reminded me that the World Health Organization has announced that the best strategy to combat the spread of Zika in largely affected countries is to delay pregnancy. Multiple countries are now at a point where their best course of action isn't medicine or environmental action but to to avoid pregnancies altogether. Could Zika be the thing that unites both parties behind Government-provided birth control?

twistedmentat posted:Yea, that really paints the whole email thing in a much better light, and it almost suggest that not having a private server would actually have been worse due to the low security and ancient technology they had. To put it in perspective, remember Lois Learner's email was kept only on her PC as a local PST because the IRS couldn't afford storage on the main server OR a backup system and when the hard drive crapped out on her junker PC, it was lost. And that's the head of the IRS. McAlister posted:

Anyone got some any ideas on what I can do to show my Clinton isn't a bad choice? His issues are roughly Illegal immigration bad, but no white guy wants those jobs anyways legal immigration should be enforced though He was career military is is Bush level hawkish. Not glass the Middle East but he's an interventionist and loves drones because it keeps troops safe For whatever reason he thinks the EPA is killing WV but we are doing a fine loving job of that ourselves Uh, oh and evolution is just a theory and they need to teach the other options in school Most blacks aren't bad but they need to step up and break the cycle *cites the black family in our neighbohood* Man no wonder it took me so long to not be a lovely person gently caress.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place. I have had arguments (from a purely neo-keynesian point of view, not even arguing marxist poo poo) with many people who are roughly as you described and straight up asked them if there was any piece of data or evidence that will at least make them reconsider their position. 90% of them said no emphatically.

Yes. And I can tell you that the Republican party in CA is a garbage fire that couldn't capitalize on the spending even if they wanted to. They couldn't even get a Republican through the Senate primary; a Democrat is guaranteed to be our next Senator.

Of course. Minimal campaigning gets done in safe blue states, just enough to ensure that turnout will be high enough. The vast majority of campaigning on both sides is always done in battleground states. However, I do think Trump will try extremely hard to win NY because it's his home state and will do way too many rallies there.

I agree with Fauxton on this, I think Hillary wants to maintain a decorum of respectability in contrast to Trump. Also, I don't even think Obama would have done this if not for being in the last 283 days of his Presidency; as he points out in the clip.

comes along bort posted:Then he'll love Hillary. Find forum of Bernie supporters ranting about what a war hawk she is, prep him by likening them to hippies, then get him to read it. Seeing the same slurs that get thrown at him thrown at her by the same people should foster a sense of kinship. Defending her against them is defending himself and the act of doing it breaks conditioning to always assume she is in the wrong. Complaints about the need to promote good family values might be reachable with quotes from It Takes A Village presented anonymously then revealed with when he agrees with them. Edit: oh yeah, contrast the Village quotes with trump quotes about wanting to gently caress his daughter where applicable. That has a strong creep factor for a lot of dads.

It's "strategic genius" on the same level as Burnside charging the U.S. Army up Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg. Basically "This is such an unbelievably horrible idea that is so completely doomed to failure that the enemy will never expect it!"

So what? Where's that money gonna come from; the GOP is not gonna pay for that kind of boondoggle, Trump doesn't want to spend money and wealthy GOP contributors are exiting this election cycle in droves. Say they do find the money, all the better for the Democrats because that's money that won't be spent in battle ground states. The Democrats are not going to be out spent and are not going to be hard up for cash. It's insane how much money has already been spent this cycle and it's only a fraction of what is going to be spent over the next 5 months. At least it's money going back into the economy instead of sitting in a bunch of rich fuckers' bank accounts.
