OFF-TOPIC Thread

Doesn't help that it's an election year either.

 

that is fucking up a lot of things from business to the ability to think straight

 

my daughter was gifted tickets to Louis CK and I turned them down because i want to remain a fan
i know he is a full liberal and the rhetoric is going to be elevated in an election year, so yeah i'll pass on that invite
back when kerry was running against bush i went and saw REM in santa barbara and 70% of their set was new unknown political songs
it really sucked and stipe was doing his best to rub it in peoples faces
don't think anyone including liberals were happy paying for that
people are so angry this year i'm not going to subject myself to that kind of madness

 

yet another reason not to do drugs.

 

^ Why can't he say things like that all the time?

 

The problem with what that barely functional moron Drumph said is that his son was born here you cannot deport him even if you wanted to because he is a citizen. Do I think the father should be investigated for sure no stone should be left un-turned BUT the notion that this could have been prevented if he was never here in the 1st place is a f'ing joke!!!!!

"His father published support for the Afghan Taliban, a regime which murders those who don’t share its radical views, and they murdered plenty. The father even said he was running for president of Afghanistan. The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America in the first place, was because we allowed his family to come here". (HEY MORON THEY CAME HERE IN THE FUCKING 80'S WHILE YOUR GOD REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT).

"That is a fact, and it’s a fact we need to talk about. We have a dysfunctional immigration system, which does not permit us to know who we let into our country, and it does not permit us to protect our citizens properly." (YOU THINK A PERSON WHO COMES HERE IS GOING TO TIP HIS HAND AND TELL THE IMMIGRATION PEOPLE HE'S HERE TO KILL PEOPLE)

And if I’m elected president, that will not change, I will tell you, that will not change over the next four years. We have an administration that will not change. But if I get in there, it’s going to change, and it’s going to change quickly. We’re going from totally incompetent to just the opposite, believe me. (WTF??????????????????????)

TRUMP: Immigration from Afghanistan into the United States has increased nearly five fold — five fold in just one year. According to Pew Research, 99 percent of the people in Afghanistan support oppressive sharia law. We admit many more, and that’s just the way it is. We admit many more from other countries in the region. (What do you know he actually got this right!!)


The following is from Fortune magazine and checked a few facts spoken by Hillary and Donald and further attempts to clarify my post because when it comes to Donald Drumph my anger prevents me from being as eloquent lol. I only hate a few "human beings" and Donald is in my top 5.

The same way the soldiers and sailors felt at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked with bombs, planes, and ships made from the scrap iron we sold them.

 

It was a sneak attack so not expected but I'm sure the people still alive regret it oh wait they aren't. Not saying this isn't a interesting point BZ but it was 76 years ago. Now what is interesting to me as an Asian American is that remember my fellow Asians were rounded up and taken to internment camps because of the fear mongering and anger at the country they hadn't even visited but just happened to be their ancestral home. Interestingly enough no Germans were rounded up and we can obviously glean why. Several of my In-laws were interned. I'm not saying that'll happen here to Muslims here but it is food for thought.

 

Still think Donald is an idiot and doesn't have the ability or real strategy to change anything. He's most often misinformed and ignorant.

Just saying his speech was a nice contrast from the crap politicians like Hilary and Barack spewed in the aftermath. And for once he at least sounded halfway presidential, unlike usual.

 

Youre giving Trump too much credit. I agree he will say anything to get elected, but there are times you know he just doesn't know what he's talking about.

If I had a gun to my head, I would vote for him over Hilary without question. But he's an idiot. And misinformed as well.

 

why would you let that get in the way of seeing one of the best comedians of today? It's supposed to be fun man. Don't let your political views get in the way of a good time for you and your daughter. Unless of course you take everything in life so seriously that a few jokes will get to you.

Lighten up dude!

 

That is why I posted it..and it means nothing that it was 76 years ago...zero. I have no idea what "sneak attack" has to do with it at all, either, quite honestly. The passage of time doesn't change the facts, or the point: it's not the first time that American made products have been used against Americans. It is not new.
I know all about internment camps, as does Irish. And it is another part of your post that is a different subject entirely.
Obviously the internment of your in-laws had to do with their race, not their religious affiliations.

 

Hey what about the terrorists who terrorize our own city streets killing each other. women and children getting gunned down by accident over senseless territory violence..

We have had this huge gang problem for decades yet it never gets headlines anymore.

I grew up in the center of a shitstorm in the 90's ... Kids getting stabbed before my own eyes over a fucking Walkman.

Getting my bike stolen from me at the age of 11 by two looser 20 something year old Avenues gangsters holding a fucking knife and swinging it at me.

My buddy getting pistol whipped by the same neighborhood gang because he looked at someone funny.. It's a amazing the guy didn't pull the trigger.. Side note this asshole was killed a few weeks later. You got it...in gang violence...

Seriously this shit still happens everyday and now kids are being shot instead of stabbed..

When will this be in the forefront again and a topic in today's elections.

Do we even talk about our nations drug problems anymore?

Maybe I don't notice.

 

It was about fear and anger of a people towards another which resulted in the action so it is the same actually but with a religious angle.
