the people who like CAH and think it's even a game rather than a thinly-veiled racism-enabler are human garbage and the sooner they're excised from the board gaming community the better.

greatn posted:

The only time I ever played CAH was when it was brought by a black guy, to a gay bachelor party, and a different black guy and his white wife to a hiking trip. It didn't seem as racist as advertised(I assume because with actual black people in the room people avoided racist answers)

Popular Thug Drink posted:

its only as racist as the people who play it

Trabisnikof posted:

Yeah maybe CAH is racist when you play it with racist people?
This is exactly what Dr. Angela Ziegler was saying - it's a thinly veiled racism enabler. You're not disagreeing with her.

Yeah I played CAH at some college parties and it got old really fast. At least with Apples to Apples you can be raunchy in a way that actually requires some creativity.

WampaLord posted:

Apples to Apples was always great when you could make a CAH-style combination with the clean rear end stuff in Apples to Apples.

Personal best was "Touchy Feely" with "Helen Keller." Helen Keller became a trump card in our games.
The entire purpose of CAH is to combine it with Apples to Apples and Apples to Apples: Bible Edition in order to make one super deck. It isn't any good on it's own.

The conundrum with CAH is that if you actually have a group of people who would all play a not-lovely game of CAH, they'd all probably prefer to play something else and no one is going to suggest it.

There's always one or two people who go apeshit for CAH, constantly demand it comes out at parties, and want to play it way, way longer than it should ever be played, and they're always the type of people who suck at it and make it terrible for everyone. If it weren't for them, it wouldn't get played at all, and therein lies its biggest problem.

I like 9/11 jokes and dead baby jokes like any goon, but not tampon jokes or transphobia. Still, SedanChair is an unpleasant person on these forums and I hope he/she/it is much nicer to people in real life.

Ugh some "expert" is on NPR comparing Trump's "Obama and Clinton are the Founder and MVP of ISIS" quotes (which they did at least play the direct audio of and fact-check as "no") to claims that Reagan is responsible for Al-Qaeda just because he equipped and supported the mujahadeen. As in, they're both just lies and slander.

EXCEPT ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER.



Actually arming the mujahadeen began under Carter and Brzezinski, Reagan ramped up the program though.

That said it's a hilarious weird comparison.

It really is - especially considering that Trump is:

1. older
2. Male, which means he's likely closer to death than her
3. Looks like he's a dumb child's art project, just skin stretched over popsicle sticks

A close friend that I love and respect told me today that he is concerned that there isn't more attention being paid to Hillary's "health problems."

I replied, "Regardless of political affiliation it should not really matter and it's all baseless speculation anyway."

He said, "But did you see her walking up those stairs!? That's not normal."

I replied, "FDR had polio."

He said, "Well, that's not the same, she obviously has some neurological condition."

Unfortunately Reagan probably was too affected by Alzheimers to be a good president, but it sure as hell is a great defense that he didn't know anything about Iran Contra - because he might not have known much of anything by that point.

For centuries stairs have longed to destroy the brain.


Is that just someone who's been exposed to too much propaganda, that thier brain subconciously starts filling in all the logical gaps that have been presented?
Not 'buying into it' but just the human brain trying to compensate in the face of twisty non-logic.
