Deflection. Big surprise. Both you and animus fox mentioned Australia before I did. Well, just so you know, the only reason I'm still here is because Immigrant visas take time. And the only reason I went to school here is because I couldn't convince my wife to move there 9 years ago. Your...

Yeah, you love to say **** like that but you never back yourself up. When I moved here my wife was a US national applying for a spouse, and it cost more for me to come here 10 years ago than it's costing for her to go there now. So unless you can come up with some actual information, I'm done...

Pffft I don't know about these pansies I'm so manly even my sentences don't have periods

You're a wanker. I just paid a one time $3600USD fee to file my wife's immigration. Would have been just over 2k if I'd done it before January this year. When I came here it was a bunch of fees all spread out over the process. For a while it seemed like every time I got a letter from USCIS I...

So, you mean it doesn't have the "porous borders" that republicans are always bleating about? No wonder you're so down on it. You have to pay to immigrate here too, dickhead. It's fucking expensive.

Oh no, I got a dodgy quote off the net and I've been schooled hard, and you are clearly vindicated, Ted Cruz is a great American senator. What has he done again? We know he's worked tirelessly to take healthcare away from millions of Americans who can just now afford it for the first time ever...

"There is no place for gays or athiests in my America. None. Our constitution makes that clear." - Ted Cruz, 3/23/15. Yeah, that Cruz is a great guy, all about liberty and freedom! Oh, if only I had something more than talking points, maybe some rock solid, proven, indisputable facts like...

So you're response to all that is "they did too do something good once, so there"? That's very telling. I forgot I was dealing with such a brilliant tactician.

Good point. I wonder why things aren't better now than they were when Bush left office? What has been done to improve things during Obama's watch? There was Dodd-Frank financial reform, which put rules in place to try to stop the situation that caused the crash from happening again. Republican...

OMG! Bernie wants to do something about wage inequality, probably the biggest issue affecting the lives of average Americans? And he had some funny ideas about some things 40 years ago? Who will protect us from this dangerous lunatic??? A good guy like Cruz will protect us from getting...

Wow. A guy who says he'd vote for Ted Cruz calling Bernie Sanders a nut job. You really don't have a clue what's going on around you, do you?

I sure would love to see you try to explain how I shot myself in the foot. Or do you feel that if you load enough contempt into your derision it shouldn't need to be justified? For someone who thinks he's such a genius you sure are stupid.

My bad, just thought you might like to actually know what a straw man argument is before you go accusing somebody else of the same thing and looking even stupider than you already do.

Clearly you don't understand the concept of a straw man argument. It is when you change the position of your opponent to give yourself something easier to argue against. In this case the republicans are making a bunch of untenable requests, and then whining about lack of compromise because...

They have and do. But not all Islamic people are radical. That's the point they're trying to get the average slack jawed yokel to understand. How would you like to be an honest, law abiding Muslim in America today, especially when **** like this happens?

Who the hell ever said Dylann Roof represents anybody but racist psychopath assholes?

Nice pic. I have. I used to love playing with sharks when I did a lot of scuba diving. Lots of bronze whalers and grey nurses where I grew up diving, and wobbegongs of course. One time I was out spearing, putting my fish on a stringer and a big tiger came up and ate the fish off my stringer. I...

I think that might be a bit less accurate than you think. A lot of **** would probably be fine with doing a trade, but get a lot of external pressure to get a 4 year degree, so they go and do a bullshit degree that winds up being worth less. When you graduate high school there's a lot of pushing...

It would be fun if every politician who put forward a bill had to publicly explain how this bill will help the country. Republicans would get even less work done than they have been.

Re: Trump Says "I'll win the Latino Vote!" I'm so sick of this bullshit and people lapping it up like it's gospel. Both sides may be stuck playing the game, but that doesn't make them the same. More than once, the senate has voted on a bill to overturn citizens united, with Democrats voting...

There's a backlash brewing alright, and I can't wait for it to hit you in the back of the head. Most people are smarter than you, and republicans have been fucking us for and blaming it on Obama for way too long to keep getting away with it.

Oh really? Why don't you tell us which of Obama's economic policies have made it through congressional republicans?

Well, thanks to the SCOTUS taking apart the voting rights act, and the electoral college bullshit, if the data did include political and electoral rights, the USA would probably rank even lower.

He's already flip flopped on that.

In what is most likely the first action ever taken by Scott Walker that doesn't directly harm Wisconsin residents, he has signed into law a bill banning the manufacture and sale of products containing microbeads -...

Haha, you're learning what it's been like for me living here all these years. Shipping people into Australia is a huge business too. As for personal freedom, here are the rankings http://patrickrhamey.com/saturday-research/2015/4/15/2015-state-of-world-liberty-index Oops, USA is not in the top...

Baked beans. America has way better baked beans than Australia, I'm going to miss them when I move back. I would also say BBQ, because somehow Oz never got the memo on that either, but I've learned how to make my own pretty good BBQ so I'll be ok.

Yes, this one former democratic senator proves the hypocrisy of all progressives. Just like the dozens of vocally anti-gay republican senators who have been caught sucking dick in public bathrooms proves that all republicans like it in the pooper I guess.

That's exactly why I was surprised that you didn't get it. Internet writers work hard to scratch out a living, anyone who posts their work should at least give them the clicks.

I imagine the person who wrote the article would care. It's common courtesy to cite your sources when you copy and paste big chunks of text, a lot of internet writers rely on clicks for income, so the least you can do is give them credit for their work. Imagine if somebody copied and mirrored...

I don't think obligation even matters all that much. The argument from the right is that if we stopped using government funds to help the poorest people we could all pay less and be therefore better off financially, but there's infinite evidence that suggests the opposite. No country ever...

I'm actually agreeing with you, the Australian system is awesome too. What the US has is total bullshit, and like many of the beliefs of the far right, it takes a certain level of sociopathy to believe that it should have stayed as it was. They argue that everyone should just be prepared and...

Australia has only slightly higher personal taxes than here, and still pretty low by global standards. But for that tax you can walk into hospital and be operated on and walk back out with more money than you had going in. They were paying people $5k a pop a while back just for having a ***. You...

There's a frighteningly large portion of the population here that is disgusted beyond belief that any of their own money might benefit somebody else. These people love to take advantage of all the benefits that everyone else in their society has contributed to, but they'll bitch and whine and...

So then why do you support the party that wants to destroy the EPA? And while you're bitching that they don't do a good enough job why don't you look into some of the causes of their ineffectiveness. Did you know that McConnell said that one of his first goals after taking the senate would be to...

I don't know what all the bitching is about. These 2 going at it is the only thing that keeps this forum interesting IMO. Sure you can argue that they flood the board a little bit, but it's not like nobody else can even get a thread in. There's plenty of room for everyone.

What a load of ****. The right has much more to say about controlling how people live their lives. Abortion, gay marriage, yoga pants, the list goes on. Since liberalism doesn't really have anything to do with government, I'm going to switch to "left" versus "right". The left accepts that a...

Re: Donald Trump Gets Owned! You're a deluded moron, you've never schooled anybody on anything other than your amazing arrogance and defiance in the face of all facts. I've tried presenting you with logic, but you seem immune to it, so I don't waste the time. Not to mention, you admitted to...

That's new, last I heard she said IRL she ONLY fucks black dicks. Guess I'm not really up on current events.

Re: Donald Trump Gets Owned! I love reading Mariah's posts, among others here. I don't really have the time or the inclination to join in, would be easier to teach calculus to a cinder block than politics or economics to you, but I still keep an eye on what's going on. Concepts that people...

Ha, tinseltown makes it look a lot more functional than the reality. Edit: Oops, forgot to say republicans. I fucking **** republicans.

Gallup reckons America as a whole is moving left on a whole bunch of issues. I like to think that the absurdity of the right is helping to drive these numbers. http://www.gallup.com/poll/183413/americans-continue-shift-left-key-moral-issues.aspx

Man, the bullshit is getting really thick in here. Reagan was a disaster from day 1. Coming in in 1981 unemployment was at 7.5%. By the end of 82 it was at 11%, before dropping slowly throughout the remainder of his presidency, getting down to under 6% in his final couple of years, and that was...

This shouldn't surprise anyone, we all know a republicans greatest strength is running up deficits. Is there a democrat around that he can blame?

Don't get upset Mariah, BC just wants to give O'Reilly the benefit of the doubt, the same way he did with Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin and Freddie Gray.

I never denied anything. Republicans are 90% of what's wrong with this country, the other 10 being democrats failure to stand up to them, and this is a political forum, dipshit. And I won't be bitching and complaining, I'll be laughing.

Baaahahaha! "I'm not a democrat or a republican, because I'm a reasonable minded and fair individual. I just think we shouldn't have to contribute to the upkeep of the country, the federal government is coming for all of us, and that if all those fucking Blacks and Mexicans would stop living the...

Liberals should be mad, I wish more of them would get mad. For years the republican party has been openly and blatantly fucking this country and its people, and all the democrats seem to be doing is holding it for them. Idiots like white devil up there spout bullshit about the president trying...

Wasn't she also the second gunman on the grassy knoll?
