Syntaxed says...

I must admit a certain amount of general amusement in speaking with you, I do love a good solid rant. It brings a unique air of difference into my otherwise droll existence.

You examined your post and found no sign of vulgar language, even abbreviated?


Definition of vulgar in English(Taken from the English Oxford Dictionary)
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/vulgar

adjective
1Lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined:

I am speaking to someone who doesn't even know the language he is speaking, you see my amusement?

I cant help it if your general ignorance seeps into every pore of your conscious existence, and I must admit it should be above me(or anyone, for that matter), to aggravate someone of such an argy-bargy disposition. However, maybe someday the light-bulb will turn on inside your head, and you might finally see past the world you've been spoon-fed since birth.

Good day:)

So, you quote the same hyper partisan types of 'media' Fox uses and claim to not know about Fox at all...oh really. That's an impressive blindness to a political giant not only here, but in your country as well.

Yes, red herring. I'm not bothering with your over abundance of partisan right wing sites, but the one I did randomly check said almost exactly what I said, that they had found NOTHING illegal and probably could never prosecute even if they did because they could not prove she knew it was illegal, but more likely what she did wasn't illegal or improper at the time she emailed from/to her private server. I'm sure the rest told you what you say they did read in the right light...but you don't understand it's all BS. How do I know? No charges. If/when they ever found anything substantive, there will be charges pending the next day and republicans on every channel dancing a jig. Since there aren't, I know there's nothing there.

Your smattering of anti-socialist sites mean nothing. No one said socialism was perfect, just that it's part of society and railing against any instance you can identify is just plain silly. Too much socialism without incentive for production is never a good idea...but none at all is Mad Max, where your precious degree won't be helping save you from the gas boys.

Again, more crazed right wing articles making claims against the ACA mean...what? Nothing. It's survived every challenge so far, and hundreds of attempts to repeal it. It's alive and well, contrary to what you've apparently read. It could certainly be better, but obstructionists would have nothing of 'single payer' and many states have done all they can to sabotage it.

Now for Trump...not a single one of those ideas is anything more than laughable.
1. Good luck with just 'not letting any more in'. You'll need to put the entire army on the borders, and the navy off shore to even come close. Won't happen in any way. The borders and shores are too large to patrol or wall off, much less both.
2. What free Federal resources do you think exist that can round up 11 million people and move them across a border? They don't exist, and would cost the entire GDP to try if it went smoothly...and it wouldn't. And it ignores the millions of legal children left behind which would cost billions-trillions more to take care of poorly. It's just laughable.
3. Smile because you just ate a tasty turd Trump told you was the best, most luxurious chocolate mousse.
Uncontrolled immigration is an issue, but not one easily solved, certainly not with his outrageously expensive plans.

Mexico building a wall because we illegally stop trading with them? (we have a binding trade agreement that precludes any such thing by law) You've got to be kidding. First, can't and won't ever happen, it would cost us trillions to replace/lose the products and trade that come from Mexico, if we could. Second, as I mentioned, illegal. Third, what happens when other nations side with Mexico, who's being illegally and outrageously bullied and blackmailed by the US, and stop trade with us too...like China? The plan is incredibly short sighted and given no thought at all, he just assumes that if we push, they'll all lie down and cry uncle. That's not how the world works.

You claim to have a degree and work for a bank, but you have at least twice tried to pin the entire debt on Obama. Perhaps you don't understand that the debt was about 12 trillion when he took office with the economy in the toilet thanks to the kinds of ideas you support? Our last president, a "conservative" far more than doubled the debt, and took a budget surplus and made it a HUGE deficit (source-https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo5.htm) and those numbers were while keeping two wars 'off the books' that are now being paid for. EDIT: and Obama has taken an enormous deficit and shrunk it precipitously while also turning the economy around...the right way (yeah, the last pres. turned it around too) Don't get it twisted...I'm pretty disappointed in Obama, I was from the first term, but because he didn't go much farther, not because of what he did get done.

Trump's the Republican second place runner...among republicans willing to answer presidential poll questions a year before the election. He's completely toast in a general election, even if he managed to get the other 76+% of republicans to vote for him (hint...he won't), he won't get any independents.

Vulgar language?!? I re-read my entire post, and not a single vulgar word IMO. One abbreviation of a vulgar word. You have GOT to be kidding me about that. If not, wow...get off the internet NOW and never come back, it's SO not for you. ;-)

EEVBlog - Hobbyist Arrested For Bringing Homemade Clock

csnel3 says...

That was pretty dismissive.. Are you saying that you don't have access to news? Or . that you only exist in Videosift and need to have everything spoon fed to you?
Are you still arguing that this was just some random Muslim that was picked on by an oppressive state!!
I am saying that there enough facts available for me to say that this is a deliberate action to create a response.

Oh, okay then. Thanks for joining in the discussion.

Most Impressive Video Game Weapons First-Person Action Ever

Man Harassed By Fox News Simply Tells Them The Truth

Hugh Jackman teaches Jimmy Fallon how to eat Vegemite

ghark says...

He got a couple of things right - use freshly toasted bread with butter, but it doesn't have to be white, and also the butter doesn't have to melt in, butter is awesome no matter how much you use Basically, use the vegemite like salt and you're good. It always boggles me when I see the video's of people tasting it - they may as well be eating a spoonful of salt, they wouldn't enjoy that either, but salt, used correctly, is an essential ingredient in most dishes.

My favourite is whole grain toast, lots of butter, a very thin layer of marmite/vegemite and some avocado +/- some freshly sliced tomato.

Completely Erase Entire Comments from People You're Ignoring (Sift Talk Post)

lucky760 says...

True, but not applicable here. In this context that kind of equates to:

"Never have sex and you'll get pregnant anyway."


To mix metaphors even further, my point is: there *is* no spoon.

Iron Body Technique

lucky760 says...

I don't blame @Stormsinger for being skeptical, but there's no trickery about a pointed spear pushing with great force into your neck. I've seen scientific examinations of a monk doing the same kinds of things and there was no fakery nor anything else to explain it away.

The human mind and body together are truly capable of seemingly impossible feats. Everyone can control a lot more of the body with the mind than most people think.

My one example (which is obviously incomparable to withstanding physical trauma) is my ability to cure my hiccups using nothing but brain power. Like most, I used to have extended fits of hiccups from time to time, and no trick ever worked (spoonful of sugar, drinking from other side of cup, holding breath, getting scared, etc.). I finally started mentally controlling my diaphragm to immediately stop my hiccups and now they're just a thing of the past for me.

Fox News anchors try Vegemite for the first time live on-air

Racism in the United States: By the Numbers

SaNdMaN says...

This pretty much explains all of your other comments here.

You're clearly one of those "Fox News" conservatives, that lives in a bubble and is spoon fed a bunch of bullshit about the world, without any consideration given to actual facts. Obama doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand, but you just can't help it. Like a robot, you're programmed to inject "OBAMA BAD" into any conversation, regardless of the topic.

I know it must be really hard for your programmed mind to accept this truth, but, by nearly all measurable metrics, the United States IS better off now than it was when Obama started his presidency. So, depending on the competition, I don't see how it would necessarily be such a stupid choice to vote for him again.

If Obama could run a 3rd term you would vote for him. Your that dumb.

Telling Stories - The Manipulative Power of Stories

messenger says...

The way I first heard the story, the spoons were attached to people's arms so they couldn't bend their elbows. That way, it makes sense.

lv_hunter said:

Those the old spoon analogy seems pretty dumb, why not just grab the shaft of the spoon to shorten the length?

Like a big 2 handed swords where you can grip above the cross guard to shorten then swing length.

A-10 attacks taliban positions in Afghanistan

asynchronice says...

"It's like replacing every spoon in your house with robots that don't know what soup is."

I now must find a way to slip this into any conversation I have from now until the end of time.

A-10 attacks taliban positions in Afghanistan

SquidCap says...

And they are phasing that model out.. A10 is simple and it works but nah, they want something hi-tech to keep the budget staggeringly high. It's like replacing every spoon in your house with robots that don't know what soup is.

Compilation Of People F'ing Up The Ice Bucket Challenge

jimnms says...

Be glad it isn't the ALS cinnamon spoon challenge.

Drachen_Jager said:

So when do we reach the point when more people die from ice bucket challenge than die from ALS? Are we going to need a new, even dumber challenge to raise awareness about the horrible disease IBC?
