TobI don't know what is going to become of me. Nor do I know what I want to become.

...

Good luck mate, if you need to, hit me up and we can share a beer on a terrace somewhere and talk about it. It also would give me an excuse to make bad jokes to someone who might understand them.

To all the depressed shut-in people feeling the anxiety increasing with each day, good luck people. I have taught myself to be content, despite everything, and it's been working well for years, but it's a long progress, do try to keep at least one irl friend you keep in touch with, even if you don't know what to do. You never know when that rl friend can bail your ass out.

Also, stop calling me loveclop, goddamnit, I just like playing video games.

biskuitAre you referring to chinese communism's dictatorship of the proletariat as a bad thing?
Saying that Trump praises communism is outright stupid, but putting that aside you're in no position to judge how peaceful other governments are when the US is responsible for things like the genocide of Natives, the enslavement of Africans and a complete imperialist way of running and maintaining a country via things like pointing the finger to nations as "terrorists" using media propaganda so that the rest of the world excuses you for starting wars and killing millions for your sole profit.

Oh, its a very bad thing, indeed, with Mao alone, having the blood on his hands of 50 million Chinese and asian people and the primary cause for a lot of enviromental and cultural issues, its astounding. Unchecked power in one person with full control of every facet of government with an facade of "dictatorship of the proletariat" or whatever self-imposed wording for the original "mandate from heaven" logic
I'd rather live in south korea, taiwan, singapore, japan than, laos, cambodja, mainland china, north korea, etc.
Any nation in a position to power to do so, will exert it on other nations it interacts with, the native americans were already decimated, before the Mayflower sailed in. African slaves, were purchased from Portuguese trading posts, or who-ever was the host for african tribal chiefs to bring in the slaves they captured, several african kingdoms primary economies were based on slave trade and were the most vehemently opposed to abolition, the Ottomans had millions of slaves from the balkans and made a janissary corps that existed out of christian boy slaves taken from their home and becoming a pseudo preatorian guard, with eventually taking over control on running the empire, like the Mammelukes did. african slaves were imported to the middle east by the millions, and slavery was still legal in saudi arabia until 1962 and still is in mauritania and they always castrate the males in advance so they don't bump into the same problem the USA has. :)
The USA meddles in imperialism since it started a habit of kicking off colonial regimes and taking it for themselves, and thereby eventually taking down the british empire and kickstarting the decolonisation, which went horribly wrong in asian and african countries, becuase the power vaccuums were used as proxy battlegrounds in the cold war. The USA aren't exactly a shining force of light, but still vastly more preferable than the soviet union and its vassals, and the Pax Americana is really lovely for us euros.

eeeyour inability to understand that and separate historical and contemporary political identities is why everyone thinks you're an idiot

I like how you always use "we", when spouting your own retarded opionon ,elliot. Multiple personality disorder, pluralis majestis or just speaking in name of some circlejerk? I also gave the example of BLM people protesting for the clintons using the term "super predators" to describe gang people. but you decided to ignore that and yell "muh 1860" for a while.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ronda-lee/hillarys-superpredator-comment_b_9655052.html

hpostTherefore, Hillary’s comment holds more significance than simply referring to gang members. It was used to justify mass incarceration for many crack addicts and small dose marijuana users, not dealers. The focus was not rehabilitation of the addicts, but punitive punishment. Prisons are big business in the United States and people business is good! Mandatory minimums and longer sentences makes for huge profits. Have we forgotten about the judges that took bribes from private prisons to send juveniles away? Ironically, now that heroin has taken a foothold in white suburbia, those harsh sentencing guidelines are being struck down in favor of rehabilitation over prison. What about black and Latino addicted youth that were incarcerated? Well, they had to be brought to heel.

Hallowlike sac keeps coming into these threads with incomprehensive and incoherent bullshit disguised as facts relevant to his argument. like at the very least format it properly and properly summarise whatever sources you're using. your rhetoric is fucking despicable to the point where it's impossible to decipher where you're going with your arguments; you're just pushing some right-wing position at whatever cost.

i mean i might just be a dumb kid but i mean if you're knowingly adressing clueless "18 year-old yankeedoodles" at least give them some shit that's relevant to what's being discussed.

all i did was react to this quote

jaegthe sad fact is that a lot of people actually think like trump and say the things trump say, theyve just never had a voice in the us gov that ran for president until trump

with examples of racists in thigh ranking US position to show how bogus the statement is, and i get mobbed by a crowd who is too daft or malicious to get the point.

KevinIsPwnComing from the perspective of a moderate independent, I instantly assume that anyone saying "but the democrats supported slavery" (or any variant) hasn't consumed unbiased news/media in years. It's straight out of "Hillary's America" or some shit. The parties swapped many positions through LBJ's leadership while passing the civil/voting rights acts. The southern dixiecrats bailed on the democratic party, and fled to the republicans. Read a book Jesus Christ
.

I don't think you should tell people to read a book, if you can't even read a few paragraphs and put it into context. I mean you're right in your paragraph, but if you read post #94 you see why i posted some historical examples, and gee historical examples, happened in the past. gee what a surprise, my mentioning of it, is directed to people like Jaeg, who have probably no clue on athe history of the parties before their birthdate, so anything pre 9/11.

manufacturing isn't just a sweatshop business, and do you think there is noone around to make sure everything in order when there is robots and heavy machinery is on the work place?

It boggles my mind to see people defending the TTIP and NAFTA.

Also, i'm pretty sure it's mentioned that both candidates want to tackle your crippling infrastructure, but only one of them actually knows how to do it cost effective. Just compare, Hillary in Haiti vs this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx651fvHMPo

eeeThat still has absolutely nothing to do with Democrats in the 1860s. Trump's rhetoric is different, and panders to different ideals than the pro-segregation or slavery democrats did. Trump mostly captures the altright and tea party republican support that has only existed in the last few years.

Outside of all of that, mentioning that democrats in the 1860s supported slavery isn't relevant because we aren't talking about democrats in the 1860s, we're talking about democrats now. You tried to say he didn't know what he was voting for by voting for the Dems.

Johnson, Byrd and Clinton the examples i gave all lived in the 1860s?

if you want to see modern day racism i'll give you this quote: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/mar/07/bernie-s/bernie-sanders-wrong-say-when-youre-white-you-dont/

eeeYour argument for this paragraph is he's an 18 year old who doesn't know what the Democrats really are (lolconspiracy) because the MSM is lying about trump being a racist. Here's a nice list of things Trump said that might be racist btw :)

http://www.salon.com/2015/12/21/the_media_needs_to_stop_telling_this_lie_about_donald_trump_im_a_sanders_supporter_and_value_honesty/

eeeYou then tried to explain illegal immigration as an issue not based on race, even though the GOP treats it racially. The US doesn't give a shit about illegals from anywhere but Mexico. We aren't building a wall around Europe or Asia or Canada, just Mexico. Somehow you try to turn this around by calling anyone who points this out a racist, which is pretty sad imo

By far, most Mexicans are good people. However, since Mexico shares a large frontier with the U.S., and many Mexicans face economic hardships, most of the reported illegal immigration into the U.S. is from Mexico. Accordingly, in recent years roughly 76% of criminal unauthorized immigrants are from Mexico.

eee
honestly I think you are actually stupid, but that makes sense because last time you posted you mentioned not going to college or having a job worth a fuck. I realize not everyone can be informed or intelligent, but please dont speak if you're actually retarded, thanks!

why do you even make shit up like this, come on elliot, you can do better than this and be a bit more wittier

belgium is a horrible country and no one should vote for anyone over there.

this is a very common opinion in Belgium as well, tbh thats why they have voting mandatory.

eeetrying to use policy from 1860 or 1960 or 2060 is pointless in a debate about policy in 2016 because we're comparing what the parties stand for now

the sad fact is that a lot of people actually think like trump and say the things trump say, theyve just never had a voice in the us gov that ran for president until trump

eeeI really enjoy the european trying to tell me the Democrats are the party of racism and conservative ideals because 150 years ago they supported slavery

Like if you're going to try and dismantle a political party, try attacking their actual current platform pls. I realize this is unattractive to republicans however because it would require them admitting they haven't done anything worthwhile since the 1860s

I like the american more that is more ignorant of his own country's history than an european. there were a 100 years inbetween slavery and desegregation.
Or did the march on Washington happen in 1865 according to you? And oh boy, believe me I'd be shitting on the republicans way harder if Jeb Bush got the nomination like it was almost set in stone last year. The bushes and the clintons are cut from the same cloth and i don't bear any love for either party, in fact, the whole run up to the nomination just reinforced the image the simpsons put in my mind as a kid on the republican party http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/c/cf/Republican_party_headquarters.png/revision/latest?cb=20100730161648

#88 How is this happening in World Events
niteboth of these quotes have no evidence of actually having been said other than a quote from a book written over 30 years after they were supposedly said. On top of that, historians generally agree that both quotes are antithetical to lbj's political beliefs.

From 1940 to 1960 Johnson voted with the South 78% on civil rights issues. Before 1957, voted 100% against civil rights issues. He also voted against the C.R.A. of 1957 and 1960.

LBJ reversed his position on race 180%, likely because he was a consumate politico who realized he was going to need the black vote, rather than any sense of brotherhood or equality. In Congress, LBJ repeatedly voted against legislation to protect black Americans from lynching. As a Senate leader he did his best to cripple the C.R.A. of 1957 managing to reduce it to an act of mere symbolism by taking out the enforcement provisions before sending it to Eisenhower. Dem colleague Strom Thurmond staged the longest filibuster in history up to that point, speaking for 24 hours in a failed attempt to block the bill.

In 1960 another C.R.A. was introduced to try to correct the LBJ deficiencies of the 1957 act, and Senate Democrats again staged a record-setting filibuster. In both cases, LBJ petitioned the northeastern Kennedy liberals to credit him for having seen to the law’s passage while at the same time boasting to southern Democrats that he had cut the legs out from under the legislation.

Johnson later explained it: “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this — we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

The opposition to civil rights was still somewhat prevalant in the Dem party at the time, excepting the northeastern liberal wing. They again filibustered the 64 C.R.A (for 57 days) and a (much) larger percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress voted for it. In the House, 80 percent of the Republicans and 63 percent of the Democrats voted in favor. In the Senate, 82 percent of the Republicans and 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it.

niteyes, nixon was a racist. he was also a republican, and appealed to racists in the election, a nation who still held onto some of the bigotry that nazis convinced the world of.

A-are you blaming the nazis for racism in the south of the USA or just invoking Godwin's law?
Bringing up Nixon quotes is a response to this, and i took two presidents from both parties

jaegthe sad fact is that a lot of people actually think like trump and say the things trump say, theyve just never had a voice in the us gov that ran for president until trumpniteBill Clinton was literally nowhere near close to the driving politician behind the war on drugs, which was primarily created by the campaigns of Nixon and Reagan, so 90% of the assumption of this fat ass block of text is just fundamentally incorrect. Clinton certainly made a mistake in allowing for the execution of Ricky Ray Rector, but simultaneously that is a failure of the criminal justice system and the laws written by congress at the time.

It's true that the ' war on drugs" took off under Nixon,but bill himself admits he played his part

"Bill Clinton said Wednesday that the crime bill he signed into law as President in 1994 worsened the nation's criminal justice system by increasing prison sentences."

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/15/politics/bill-clinton-1994-crime-bill/

niteIt's completely ridiculous to place the entirety of the blame of that situation on the Clinton presidency. As far as Clinton endorsing Robert Byrd, a man who was never a "leader" of the KKK and who, during his long political career, completely owned up to his association with the Klan and repeatedly, profusely apologized about his membership saying "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened." I dont necessarily see an issue with that.

Democrat United States Senator Robert C. Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd defended the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.[1]

Despite being the only Senator to vote against both African American U.S. Supreme Court nominees (liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas) and filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake. he did make up and rose to senate leader , but he was a kkk figure, and he became a prominent figure in politics, which is a rebutal to the quote of Jaeg i quoted earlier to disprove, the idea that before trump public or closeted racist figures had no place in US politics, something you must agree on.

nite
The rest of this block of text reads like something directly out of a trump speech - it's largely incomprehensible gibberish with a vaguely racist and threatening undertone. Also stop quoting Milo Yiannopoulos as if he is a credible source or part of a credible institution,

yea i think milo is a dangerous faggot.

reread this part "What they don’t necessarily deserve is the right to throw their toys out the pram, behave like children, and indulge in this sort of victimhood and grievance culture that the left has tried to do with gays, tried to do with women, tried to do with blacks, because what they basically want to do is replace the absent father with the state."
nothing racist about it tbh.

niteYou would do well to not attempt to infantilize those who you dont agree with, especially when you are the one taking quotes out of context and ignoring evidence.

but thats exactly the modus operandi i see and react against. I just like to point out the irony of it with some of my own. And unlike you, i actually provided links or sources in my previous posts. how come the onus is solely on me, when most people don't even bother?

EmilioEstevezeeePart 1: Anti-Missile and nuclear weapons on the border are 99% of why Europe has been so stable for the past 70 years. Trying to blame outside pressure for Russian expansionism seems a bit silly.
Mutually Assured Destruction is what kept Europe and the world safe during the cold war. Since the fall of the Berlin wall NATO has been expanding eastwards in an attempt to nullify the threat of Russias nuclear arsenal. That's what has them upset, it's what they have been saying is upsetting them for the past decade or more. NATO is trying to engineer a situation in which a Russia would not be able to respond to a nuclear attack on it's country because there are NATO missile defence weapons completely surrounding them.

Upsetting the balance of power is exactly what has caused the current tensions with Russia. It's not in their interests to let Ukraine become a part of the EU and join NATO as it means NATO troops and missiles on their border hence why they are supporting the separatists and invaded Crimea (NATO rules prevent members with border disputes from joining the alliance). Just imagine the shit fit USA would throw if Canada decided to host Russian nukes.

I like how you gave a serious and truthfull response to a quote that is so criminally retarded.

"racist bigot" Bill Clinton spars with BLM protestors: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/07/politics/bill-clinton-black-lives-matter-protesters/
Milo on Bill clinton and the black community:
“I think that what the black community still has to deal with, partly as a result of the Clintons, I mean Bill Clinton signed in a law that basically destroyed the black family. He put every black dad in the country in prison for smoking a blunt. It’s insane,” said Yiannopoulos.

I mean, I don’t know what your views on drugs are, I think the war on drugs has basically been a disaster, and it has hit black families really hard. Who’s responsible for that? Bill Clinton… Bill Clinton of course also put to death Ricky Ray Rector, the retarded guy who had a mental age of seven… when he had his last meal they said ‘what do you want for your last meal?’ and he said I want turkey dinner and some ice cream’. He said ‘I’ll take the turkey dinner now and I’ll have the ice cream after the execution’. This is the mental awareness of this guy, he should not have been killed. Bill Clinton said fry him, so he went to the chair, and of cause before the ’92 election when he wanted to appear tough, he signed this law that did more than anything else in American history to destroy the black family. Now, there are some valid grievances the black community have, they just don’t realise that most of them are levelled- most of them are Democratic things. There are some problems, and they deserve way better schools. They deserve way better, you know, public services. They deserve to be policed properly so that their communities can recover from endemic crime. What they don’t necessarily deserve is the right to throw their toys out the pram, behave like children, and indulge in this sort of victimhood and grievance culture that the left has tried to do with gays, tried to do with women, tried to do with blacks, because what they basically want to do is replace the absent father with the state. They want everyone to be dependent on the state and vote for Democrats because Democrats are going to give them freebies. This is so socially destructive and it is actually the most sociopathic and unkind thing you could possibly do. So, I don’t like Black Lives Matter as a solution, but I wouldn’t say that black people have it easy.

I don't think hacking should be a permaban, just a year or 6 month. The only reason permabans are really used is so players are forced to buy new copies when they get caught

Except these aren't account bans Blizzard is handing out, they're hardware bans. The only way they'd be able to play OW again is to buy new hardware AND buy the game.

If their goal of permabans was having hackers rebuy the game then they're doing a really bad job.
I feel like it isnt that complicated to spoof the hardware if youre that inclined but that wasnt really my point

Permabans are stupid for everything and just make alts more attractive.

if its a hardware ban alts aren't even a thing though, and cheaters are the people that are so pathetic they'd get an alt for being banned for two hours, just see in tf2..
