I kind of think "It's a powerful symbol, you don't want to overuse it" should be listed under the in-jokes. Also, the description for Chris Britt doesn't match the posted cartoon. Also, I was number 11 in the list of top posters? That surprises me, given how many times I'd stop checking for a few weeks.

Pants Donkey posted:Explain? I mentioned the police cartoon because it's something interesting about them. The cartoons are stuff from the previous year. Caithness posted:"In 2014 a local police union was angry over the cartoon posted below and demanded an apology while telling Britt to go to hell. Britt basically told them to gently caress off." Yeah, that. The way you worded it, the cartoon below his name offended the police union, even though it had nothing to do with the police. It should say "angry over a cartoon he drew."

Xenoveritas posted:Bad lesson to learn from that. The polling wasn't that bad. Even before the election, the race was close enough that pollsters knew Trump could still win. Yeah, the issue wasn't the polls themselves. It was more that the people reporting on the polls couldn't believe Trump could win, so they spun them in a way that made Clinton seem inevitable. Silver and Co. got that mistake out of their system in the primaries, when they marked Trump's chance of getting the nomination somewhere between 2 and negative 10 percent, so they were chastened and more cautious in the general.

It's good to be skeptical of official sources, but rejecting them without question is just as dumb as accepting them without question. Conspiracy theorists love to act like they're smarter than the mainstream sheeple, but all they do is substitute Alex Jones or Breitbart in the place of "people I always trust."

Improbable Lobster posted:No one equates non-nazis with nazis. In 2003, I was told that Saddam Hussein was a monster and if I didn't support violence against him then I was pro-Saddam. Now I'm being told that Richard Spencer is a monster and if I don't support violence against him then I'm pro-Nazi. Yes, yes, I know that it's different because a lot of civilians got killed in the Iraq invasion. It's still absurd to say that being opposed to violence means you are on the side of those targeted by violence. The argument that "no one's taking away their rights, they're just saying they should get attacked for exercising them" is equally stupid. It's not that different from "anyone who disrespects the flag should be beaten." There's always someone ready to say that violence is okay as long as the target is a really bad person.

Fulchrum posted:Why is Green Arrow there? And why is he trying to give Green Lantern the same look the black guy is? As I understand, Green Lantern/Arrow was a long-running series, and they frequently addressed social issues with Lantern as the conservative and Arrow as the liberal. So Green Arrow is thinking "He's got a good point- what are you doing for black people?" Fulchrum posted:You misunderstand. I am not questioning how someone who understands science can have faith - I have it myself. People can understand the how while still knowing God is the who and why. But she has the how, the who and the why of how her people were created. So why does she give benediction to an unrelated entity? Who made the aliens who made her? Spoeank posted:I'll never forget when Barack Obama screamed down FOX News and called them fake news. It was especially jarring thanks to the massive MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner behind him. No, this one did sort of happen- Obama called Fox News a political opponent.

 I have to say I kind of hate this one. I don't think any of the listed shooters were mentally incompetent in the legal sense, as in they can't handle their own affairs, use their own money, etc., and that's whom the new law would affect. Someone like that is probably not a mass shooter. This is feeding the narrative that the big problem with mental illness is protecting "us" from "them," because "they" might snap and kill at a moment's notice. But most mentally ill people aren't The Joker. The real danger is that they have an easy way to kill themselves. While I doubt this was the intention, it dovetails with yet another Nazi policy: killing off those who are deemed to be "weak." By putting guns in the hands of those likely to turn them on themselves, they can practice indirect eugenics.

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. So which of these does he want me to take literally?

Dan even cites Genesis 1:27 while claiming it's about Adam and Eve, who are in a different story in the next chapter. You'd think this guy would at least know how to read a simple concordance.

Roland Jones posted:More third parties (or at least third parties that actually got a significant percentage of the vote) without instant runoff voting or something similar would indeed be a disaster. Electoral reform would kill the spoiler effect, but that's unlikely, at least at the federal level. States could pull it off, though. I think at least one already has. Maine just voted to start using IRV. In large part it was because their racist governor Paul LePage (who once complained that drug dealers named "D-Money, Smoothy, Shifty" were impregnating white girls in Maine) got elected twice with a minority share of the vote and his opposition split between other candidates. LaserShark posted:...what does this even mean... I think "walk of shame" refers to sneaking out the home of someone you're embarrassed to have slept with. The joke is that Todd is a whore for The Left, and by metaphorically loving Democrats he has delegitimized himself. Broken Loose posted:You know what? It doesn't matter. Doing The Thing ironically is still doing The Thing, Charlie Brown. The arc of 4chan over its lifespan shows how ironically saying horrible things is inwardly and outwardly corrosive. I think some people really do start out being offensively racist, sexist, etc. as a joke, but if you do that you'll end up surrounded by people who mean it seriously, and surrounding yourself with such people will inevitably change the way you see the world.
