Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

1- They said the very same thing about Reagan. He wound up being the guy that ended the Cold War. Reagan also entrenched the extremely toxic "Trickle down" economic belief in our nation. Admittedly, looking back on the post you're quoting ("He'd be strong on economic and domestic pol...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

[snip video] People's stances on complex socio-political matters change over years, both individually and in regards to the constituents they're to represent? I mean, Bernie Sanders - by his own admittance - only voted against the 1996 DOMA for States Rights reasons, and in 2006 voted against same-...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

https://media.giphy.com/media/5wWf7H8DanGQ0XyyD2U/giphy.gif I didn't know who to pick for the republican candidate besides not Donald Trump. Of the remaining "major" candidates (Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich if I'm not missing any)? Provided you don't mind them being an enormous Warhawk,...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

I'm not proposing to treat them as criminals, but the term illegal immigrant isn't wrong. As said: If the term isn't wrong, then they should be treated like criminals, which means all of the above aspects (criminal rights such as to a trial with legal representation, a legal presumption of innocenc...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

Since we aren't in disagreement about the process needing to be sped up enormously, I thought illegal implied breaking a law, not committing a crime. If it was, wouldn't the term be criminal immigrants? It's all semantics anyway, so what's your point here? There's a fair handful, ranging from how tr...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

At the risk of exposing my own political views and inviting myself to be shouted down, isn't there a difference between legal and illegal immigration? Well, technically, there are no "illegal" immigrants. Choice of words is extremely important, as illegal implies crime, which then means a...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

Exactly, and yet he still has five billion dollars. I'm not exactly sure this is making the point you want to make. No one has a perfect run, but he knows how to play the system and doesn't take losses. He doesn't take losses because he explicitly makes sure he's not the one who will suffer for the...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

Thinking rationally, I think Donald Trump might be a consideration. Donald Trump's fame comes from exploiting business loopholes and Bankruptcy laws to turn a profit as well as being a colossal prick who tries driving people off their property to improve his view / own property values, is blatantly...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

The stories and actions will change once they hit the stand and face the whole of the nation, If we go by the 2012 Elections, that's not particularly likely. Romney was especially burdened, for example, by the need to cater to the Tea Party / Dixiecrat vote even after they secured the Republican Ca...

Re: USA Presidental Campaingn 2016

Who I'd prefer to put my vote towards? Bernie Sanders. However, I'm willing to admit I'll probably throw it into Hillary Clinton as: 1) I doubt Bernie's going to make it through the Primaries intact. He doesn't have the same political pull / experience to draw from as the Clinton family, plus - with...

Re: The furry fandom and your opinion on it. Descusion threa

Why does something so specific matter? One can look at a furry character and say with semi-relative certainty whether of not they see said character as a furry. Yes and no. Part of this debate has cropped up due to definitions that would define, as an example, this as a Furry (the cat-like eyes), b...

Re: The furry fandom and your opinion on it. Descusion threa

I know of furry artists who draw similar things and have them as a "fursona" . I think you'll find, unless being purposefully disingenuous, there's a bit of a difference between one of Mantis' characters and a giant one of these with a pair of human arms underslung. However, considering l...

Re: The furry fandom and your opinion on it. Descusion threa

I've seen "animal to human" before, even recently(see: Maleficent). Just putting that out there, that I don't consider that furry, because there is no varying degree of animal in the character. I mean, sure, he looks like grody, and has some crow like features, but no actual crow features...

Re: The furry fandom and your opinion on it. Descusion threa

Talonmaster, you appear to be taking the position that Le Roman de Renart is not "Furry". Why don't you lay out a selection of works you consider "Furry", and discuss what they have in common that said medieval-French work lacks? First, to give some examples: TwoKinds, Eye of Ra...

Re: The furry fandom and your opinion on it. Descusion threa

The works were there, and the audience was there. Consuming work that someone might define as Furry does not, as a result, immediately make someone a Furry (nor necessarily mean that the anthropomorphic animals are even a selling point to all / the majority of readers). One would not define someone...
