What pisses me off about Trump other than his clear dislike of anything not white is the fact that the motherfucker bankrupted 5 times and receives government bail outs every time! Why would you trust this man with anything at this point?

He bankrupted 5 times and he his money first came from an inheritance which contrast heavily with the American idea of the "self-made" man or woman... :p

It's really interesting talking to people about trump though. Like they magically think that he'll deliver on his rhetoric even though he's never really proposed any tangible plans. It's just a fascinating look at what motivates people and apparently it's all talk with no proof or background.
September 4, 2015 1:30 p.m.
I'm honestly a bit afraid of what will happen if he gets elected.

trump not swag..
..seriously everybody I voted for did not become President. I would vote for Jeb Bush. though..

What is voting republican over democrat going to accomplish?
We will still over spend, over reach, and lobbying will be strong as ever.

ChiefBell It is not even what they say. It is what the media tells people they say. That is how politicians are judged these days.
It is just a popularity contest for a prominent position.

I've come to the conclusion that the media isn't as bad as we the public are actually. The media doesn't create the bias, it confirms it. The only way out of that is to actively seek out opinions you find completely wrong and do your best to understand where those opinions are formed.

Yes, people being content with it is the problem. It is a cycle. Flashy entertainment gets the job done easily though.
September 4, 2015 8:09 p.m.
my logic: if I vote republican, then a democrat gets elected.
I had voted for John Kerry - a democrat - and he did not get elected.
I had voted for John McCain - a republican - and he did not get elected.
I might say "to fuck with it" and not vote again, like the last Presidential election...
September 4, 2015 8:15 p.m.
bendjohnson Or just vote for Trump so he doesn't win. XD

Let's be real. Even if the clown gets office, he can't follow up with anything really. Increase boarder security? Lel. racist joke inbound the Mexicans are reclaiming the south man. You can't stop them

Yeah but he might just irritate the Chinese enough for us to really he fucked. Foreign policy isn't a joke

a (previous and left out) comment of mine is best for personal conversation
seriously, what I know from my Magic buddy's research into what could potentially happen

though something that supposedly was to happen this year just did not happens, so...

You sure about that Ben? I think we're all drunk to be discussing politics on a user friendly site. Next wee'll be "discussing" religion and why ours is correct. This ought to be fun.

BYU beat Nebraska today
Only because I've heard BYU is of Mormons or would convert you to Mormon for having attended.
Please correct me if I've heard wrong.
By the Way: I have no clue what being Mormon is all about.

I know about BYU because one of my friends is Morman and Brandon Sanderson Teaches there and he's one of my favorite authors.
What do y'all do? Student? Tech? lazy? something else?

I love rugby, it's my favorite sport.
When I hear that the 49ers picked up a rugby player for their running back I was interested. Then I saw this clip. It makes me so happy.

Seriously, what does Mormon faith have over Lutheran faith.
I would actually consider being a Protestant.
September 5, 2015 10:51 p.m.
NoPantsParade says... #42
I'm Protestant, or Presbyterian. I actually know very little about it though. I think it's similar to Catholicism, but less strict, I think. I also think we believe differently about transubstantiation.
September 5, 2015 10:56 p.m.
I would like to think there is more than TP for my bung-hole-e-ole
I may have my own choices, though I am prayed for ... by family.

@bendjohnson, Mormons are christens that don't do drugs, only have sex after marriage, don't have caffeine, and the other religous books we have are the book of mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of great price. here, here's a link to our website, it plain lots of things. https://www.mormon.org

So had to call the cops tonight at work. Across the parking lot (it's an outdoor mall thing, a "commons" I think they call it) there's a super market. Around 9, a man (who was sitting outside drinking his coffee on our balcony), runs in yelling at me to call the cops. I'm a bit confused, go "what, why?", and he tells me to come outside.
So apparently, employee one (male) was pissed off at employee two (female), and is beating the shit out of her in the parking lot. So, yep, calling 911. As I'm on the phone, she manages to kick the guy, hard, and actually get into her car (the fight progressed out the doors of the supermarket and towards her car). He's pissed she managed to get into her car, and starts kicking the shit out of it, and you could easily hear he put maybe 2-3 big fucking dents into it.
She then proceeds to try and run the guy over as she guns it out of the parking lot at like 50 miles per hour. And she was clearly aiming for him. She misses, fortunately (the guy may have been a piece of shit but I didn't really want to watch someone get murdered), and i'm still on the phone with dispatch. So I go "uhhh, um, she managed to get in her car and drive off. Medical attention? Nope, no I don't think you need to send an ambulence. No, he isn't following her. Alright, thanks anyway, have a nice night. Yep, i'll call back if she comes back and it starts up again."
Interesting night.

Mormons don't have caffeine? Lol fuck that I'm out.
kyuuri117 jesus christ man
September 6, 2015 12:31 a.m.
Yea, it's not something I see often. Hell, ever. What really pissed me off though was the fact that literally ALL the fucking supermarket employees were standing in the doorway watching this go on. Just standing there, doing jack shit. None of em called the cops, none of em tried to intervene, they just fucking stood there. Like what the fuck is wrong with them.

trollslayer LDS is love, LDS is life.
So I need some help.
I need 3 more Ghostly Prison's and 2 Idyllic Tutor's to finish building my modern deck, but I've looked everywhere and no one seems to have any. I'm trying to refrain from buying some online until there's no other way, but it's getting to that point.
I asked if Epoch had any, but he never responded. So, do any of you guys have some copies? If not I'll just order em online I guess.
