STRONGER THAN THE STORM.....OF ZAM.

Also better than Killing Ifrit.

Let me rephrase that, the liberal posters that are incapable of having a civil conversation. Not all of them are asshats. Just most of them.

Dedicated to Donald J. Trump

Despite our political differences you and I have always been able to have civil conversations.

But then again I claim to be a radical, not a liberal.

To be blunt, even when you're behaving quite pettily today I'm still here and still reading your posts without insulting you.

I'd suggest not commenting on "having civil conversations" with this current attitude of yours.

Also, if you truly wanted to get in touch with Rooks, you'd have sent him a PM instead of joined in the ***show here.

Considering you have been banned, its safe to say the major problem has in fact been dealt with!

I have white friends that are cool as *** and I know the majority of white people are chill. My mom is white as white gets. She listens to fleetwood Mac and Niel Diamond and ***.

I need a term to represent the Trump type of white people, help me out, because I have so much to say but don't wanna include the cool white people in it all.

wait, light bulb just went on in my head - I'm gonna call them Trumps. Thats it, Trumps it is.

Trumps: Angry, small dicked, pedophiles, incestuous, bigoted, ignorant, filthy and lacking in hygiene, xenophobic, racist, hateful, insecure, misinformed, lacking in vocabulary, simpleton demographic often, but not necessarily, of white complexion.

Trumps umad cuz Obama got swag.

200,000 Syrians

Where did you get this number from?

So did Hillary make America great again I didn't watch it.

"I believe Democracy doesn't work the way it should..."

Said by the woman who literally rigged her own nomination.

Listen, everybody, this insane notion that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump represent some sort of equally noxious, damned if you do, damned if you don't choice is ridiculous and has to stop. Allow me to illustrate with an analogy:

Imagine you're on a commercial flight and find out that the pilot and co-pilot have both died suddenly and simultaneously. The plane is on autopilot at present, but someone needs to assume control eventually to land it. It turns out that there's a retired airline pilot seated in first class. He just retired two years ago, but continues to fly a small personal plane as a hobby. He's flown commercial jets very similar to the one you're currently in; many times. He has thousands of successful flights on his record. The only rub is that he's had two drinks during the course of the flight. Given the reputation of drinking problems in pilots, several passengers begin to suggest that he must clearly be an alcoholic as well. He's not an alcoholic, mind you, that's just what several other passengers are suggesting. Hell, let's go so far as to say that someone recognizes this guy as a pilot who crash landed a plane 6 years ago in an accident that resulted in the deaths of four passengers. He was not charged with negligence or any other crime, and continued to have a successful flying career after this crash, but it was a big story for a while. He is, however, the only pilot on the plane.

Given these concerns, another passenger in first class offers up his willingness to fly the plane. He's a 21 year old college student with no flying experience whatsoever. What he does have, however, is a LOT of experience playing video games. Not flight simulators, mind you, just typical video games, like Call of Duty, but since these require "hand eye coordination" he's sure that his skills will translate perfectly to the successful flying and landing of a commercial airplane. Additionally, he is very, very confident in himself. He guarantees that not only can he land the plane, he will land it better than any plane has ever been landed. Ever. It's gonna be so great. Oh, by the way, prior to the announcement of the pilot/co-pilot's deaths, this dude had spent the first hour of the flight being a loud, obnoxious ***, and sexually harassing the flight attendants. And since the announcement of the current situation he's been loudly screaming into the PA that everyone is going to die a horrible, fiery death if they don't immediately let him into the cockpit to make this flight safe again. He's really scaring the children.

This is the choice in front of us. On the one hand we have an individual with an extensive political background that includes successes and failures. Most importantly, however, she is capable of doing the job. You may not like her, you may not trust her, and you may feel she represents more of the same, but at least she has a base of experience sufficient to translate into performing as President of this country. On the other, we have someone who is an insufferable, pathologically narcissistic possible sociopath, who, most critically, has no experience whatsoever doing what he's asking us to let him do. All signs indicate that there is no chance he can successfully carry through with his claims. Moreover, the consequences of his ineptitude are not insignificant. Rather, he will almost certainly make mistakes which will spell utter disaster for all of us.

Stop pretending this is even a choice at all. It's not.

Edit:
With regards to a Bernie Sanders or Garry Johnson analogue. We can imagine there's another pilot on the plane. He has no crashes on his record that we know of and no one saw him drink thus far. He seems like a solid dude. Too bad he's locked in the lavatory. We can open the door a crack but it's stuck. Someone suggests "maybe if we.." but they can shut the hell up right now because the door is not going to open! Not on this flight at least. And while we waste time trying in vain to pry the door open, our gamer friend is actively sneaking his way up the aisle to the cockpit.
