Maybe it's Jesus. I heard he lived in Egypt for 3.5 years!!

I know exactly what you mean. When you see those scenes in films I always thought that couldn't possibly be that blatant in real life . . . yet here's the video of it happening. I owe some screenwriters an apology.

LOL Ohio. Another reason to never go there.

Weird how Fox News isn't all over Trump for being a weak President who can't get his "bigly" deals done. Summit's over, so actual action doesn't matter, eh?

No you!! *cries*

Every time I see "candy throwing" in this thread's title, I keep thinking it's making fun of dumb fat Trump, then I remember he threw Starburst's at Angela Merkel and I die a little inside every time.

I uhhh I don't know? I only know this one thread, and I definitely said the "fake news = investigative journalism" thing before Ronan's tweet (or at least before I saw his tweet in this thread).

Dinesh D'Souza and Ajit Pai syndrome.

No problem, we need more educated moderate and conservative (actual conservative) voices on this board. I've learned a good bit from people like you and sblfilms with sides of an argument I normally wouldn't give credence (same with slug). But I worry when logical explanations also acts as implicit endorsement of these people and this administration. I'm sure you see the concern. But you're smart, keep it up brotha.

When he whispers to Morty, and our Morty is like: "huh? what?" Great show. Fuck the people who are trying to ruin it for the rest of us.

I think what you've said is right on the money! They always say it like they're jealous. Always. I'm like: "Jesus, guys, I was in a fraternity but I didn't want to haze people just because I was hazed". Yes, I was in a fraternity, heh. And I haven't seen that infographic in ages! Still as good as I remember. Respek.

My favorite part has always been the Morty dance. Look at him go!

As suggested, photoshopped. RIGHT?

It's actually crazy how many "legal" "well-to-do" immigrants I know who hate "illegal" immigrants. It's nuts. A friend and my wife, both immigrants, looked at me and said: "do it legal". I explained asylum seeking IS legal, and they didn't know what to say other than: "yeah, but others are illegal". I explained that for many they are coming illegally because they are running from gang or drug violence, etc. They again didn't know what to say, but doubted that was the case with most illegal immigrants, like I'd lie about it. These are otherwise very liberal and progressive people. Fucking bizarre. My parents, also immigrants, are the same way. They should all be mandated to go to the border and deal with real illegal immigrants. See if their hearts soften or harden. I promise a good person's will soften.

Damnit, I didn't know this joke!! I am ashamed.

This is the right answer. Corporations as people is a laughable concept invented by big money to protect itself from us. Law school basically teaches this as if it's a given at this point but rightly teaches that the distinction was given to help corporations and no one else.

Those scary kids!! Adults afraid of children who have suffered and want their marginalized voice heard about real experiences they had. Hoo boy. Adults are pathetic.

He didn't go far enough. Organized religion was a mistake.

Me, I'm saying it! I was with some . . . let's say . . . stupid and/or sleazy people who were going to law school to get away with things or purely for money/power/prestige rather than be a real attorney who believes in the civic mandate of the profession. As a result, knowing the actual law wasn't high up on their list of priorities.

I said it first Ronan!

You really have to stop pushing for things based on the assumption people, particularly governments, are rational actors with the peoples' humane interests in mind, just because you are smart and rational and responsible (which you are!). I'm not outing you, but I have noticed a pattern. In this specific case (as the case with the DIY guns) you're technically correct but it's potential abuses outweigh its potentially benign nature in this case, and elsewhere where you've argued a more moderate or conservative viewpoint. To be clear, I agree with you, but its ignoring context and how people work and are. I learned this the hard way, where I thought objectivity was more important than context. This election and this era has taught me . . . it isn't. It just isn't, because the world isn't objective. So why would we be? We need to bend things to how they should be when one side is actively doing the opposite, but using the veneer of objectivity to push their agendas. It's insidious. Just my .02 not trying to hate, I respect your opinions as they are often very informed and I learn a lot.

I would say this was surprising, but I went to law school. Some people should not have become attorneys, I can tell you first hand . . .

I love when Christians talk about Jesus like they know what happened back then better than what they ate yesterday for breakfast. "Jesus was definitely in Egypt for 3.5 years! Didn't you see his lease on his apartment in Cairo in 29 CE? It's all right there!" These people, seriously. The Bible is just stories, not historical documents peer-reviewed and checked.

Preach.

Edited my previous post and added a good bit haha.
