Are we sure violent video games don't really cause all the mass murders in the world?


One of the worst mass killers of white people in recent times trained using violent video games. Makes you think.

This is the worst USPol derail I've seen in months.

Trump is crashing and burning so hard we are taking card games.

That's good I guess.

Meanwhile 70-something Republicans signed a letter asking the RNC chair to defund the Trump campaign and focus on house and Senate seats.

But card games guys. That the real news story of the day. =D

We discussed and fixed the Trump problem.

The collective are now discussing card games, and why we could ban some because we are either poo poo at them or unfunny soulless assholes trying to act edgy.

Look other pawns if you guys just pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and made the effort to get to the other side you too could become a queen(or a knight)

Stop blaming the King when you are being sacrificed for other pieces.

They should angle for Condoleezza Rice, just for the racist-misogynist backlash against the one woman involved in presidential administrations in the last 20 years that's smarter than Clinton.

The women do all the work and is way more competent than the guy, but she's completely useless without him. Bishops are born in their place and may never change that.
I think you're onto something there.




Imagine if you are a political campaigner for Trump, desperately try to write a speech which could turn some things around, and after an allnighter you finally have something to be content with. He just throws it away and does his thing.

If a pawn gets to uppity and thinks he can move more than the average one, others can straight up kill him.

CAH has more cards about jews so i dont understand why these so called 'allies' are trying to distract from the inherent anti-semitism of the game by complaining about racism

Fun fact: 100% of the Cards Against Humanity writers are Jewish. Can you believe it? A Jewish comedy writer! Anything is possible in 2016.


I kinda feel like the people who are tut-tutting about this game don't really spend much time with black people. Racial jokes, in both directions, are okay when everyone knows each other well enough to know there is no ill intent and that the jokes are satirical. This can definitely spiral into a negative direction if there's just one guy who's not part of the group and has gross views.

And putting "white privilege" with that country club card would get a way bigger laugh than "black people." The latter isn't funny. The idea is to subvert expectations.

I probably play it twice a year.

Better yet, play all of these so that you have a better understanding of why capitalism, imperialism, and exploitation of the vulnerable are all bad things.

Unless you come away the winner, then the board game is actually a mirror into your deep personal psyche revealing your true rear end in a top hat nature.

As in, they're both just lies and slander.

I think Trump is going down hard, but I think I'll have a hard time feeling fully comfortable without seeing FL or OH poll numbers that are over 5 percent margin.

I know, I'm greedy. But I think this election doesn't deserve the typical nail biter horse race bullshit.

The definition is so vague, it goes from lung cancer to literally any respiratory or cardiovascular disease to even stroke.

If only there were a way to determine if an activity resulted in a higher likelyhood of those things happening, and by how much. But, since science isn't real there's just no way to tell.

Instead, I'll gut-feel that cigarettes actually prevent cancer, and that's just as good as any "facts".
