I'm pretty sure that also qualifies as treason. and re truth telling, aren't more than half his statements lies? I forgot the source for that though. and an argument I saw that makes sense to me: Hillary may be a traitor, liar, awful person whatever, but at least she's sane. Trump isn't exactly sound of mind or fit to rule. Your point is a fair one, however there is a big difference between when a presidential candidate with no actual access to classified information makes a stupid sarcastic statement and the Secretary of State actually divulging classified information via her personal email to people not authorized to see it. As for the lying, yeah he lies an impressive amount of the time, it is like a reality show except he could well be president X_X. As for your last argument, this is my number one problem with American politics, people are way too willing to settle for "but a least...", the truth of the matter is they are both terrible candidates and for different reasons should both be seen as unfit to be president. Alas, one is going to win and the world will be worse off because of it. Edited August 1, 2016 by Iron Eyes Grammar is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much hullaballoo Trump threw up about Obama's birth certificate, I am 110% convinced that if Hilary wins? Her entire presidency will involve him yelling about how the whole thing was rigged, and how she should be diqualified and... As soon as you give Donald Trump an inch of legitimacy, he's never going to let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe we, as a species, have actually reached a point where Second Impact would be desirable, but here we are. At least Gendo Ikari has a pretty consistent platform which can be critiqued. (I mean, it's an awful ideas platform, but at least he's a fairly equal opportunity abuser. I don't think it matters if youre an illegal immigrant or not; so long as you he can strap you into a giant robot, you're getting in the giant robot.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Trump blow his countries budget on a wall whose size is matched only by his ego. The rest of us can start migrating to space! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 A (Polish) publisher company has books 46% off. So I thought I could buy something, cause it's almost half-price, right? I heard that Dresden Files are good, so I added the first six (they don't have #7 but they do have #8 and #9. Weird) and then I added also The Aeronaut's Windlass... And now I wonder whether I should spend so much money The sale lasts till Friday, so I have time to think about that. I don't even know if these books are as good as I heard. Choices, choices...

I haven't read it yet so my opinion doesn't really mean anything, but "I want my childhood back" reminds me A LOT of when the star wars prequels came out. Maybe Cursed Child isn't like the others, but I don't think it ruins childhoods as much as, you know, your brother taking the last cookie or something like that. Can someone here elaborate on the problems in Cursed Child for me, while being sorta kinda non-spoilery? I know there's time travel but I don't know who dies or whatever. Thanks.

Usually cheaper than other stores during their sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
