QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 06:41 PM) Is the idea that the requirement to show an ID disproportionately affects the left? I have never put any time into learning this stuff. Perhaps it's more than having an ID and I don't understand it but that seems like not much of an issue. Everyone I know has an ID. The voter ID laws are rarely limited to simply adding ID. They often remove early voting, make registration more difficult, enact stronger purges of voting rolls (that just happen to purge eligible voters), and shut down polling stations. In North Carolina, legislators literally did research on voting practices by race. Then they went to work limiting all the ones used disproportionately by black people under the guise of stopping fraud. There was one voting practice used disproportionately by white people, which also happens to be the method of voting most vulnerable to fraud: mail-in voting. They left that alone.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 05:57 PM) I mean...is my daughter an immigrant...my wife (first generation born here). Depends. How Mexican and/or Muslim are they?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 03:40 AM) Uh. This is fundamentally untrue. They had one slogan: Stronger Together I followed the election pretty closely and never would have guessed this. "Love Trumps Hate" seemed to be more prominent. QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 03:40 AM) Why did Trump want to be President??? Because everything sucks (especially foreigners who commit tons of crime/terrorism and terk all our jerbs through illegal immigration/trade) and we need to MAGA. Hillary's message seemed to be that everything is mostly okay and she'll be more of the same. Bleh,

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) Banning them is strictly a f*** you foreign policy move. No, it's a "make your base that is scared of Muslims/brown people happy" move.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 09:26 PM) Crime has risen since school prayer has ended, thus bring back school prayer. I can't buy that argument. Crime has fallen since irreligion has grown.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 06:12 PM) I appreciate the information, however it does not address that we shouldn't be funding murders. If a government still allows the abortions, that's on them, right? No one was funding murders. No one was funding abortions. Can you at least read some of the articles being posted so you have the first idea of what is being discussed? Funding cut => less contraception => more unwanted pregnancies => more dangerous abortions

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 05:57 PM) Lots of research done by the religious community says otherwise. If there's anyone I trust for quality scientific research, it's "the religious community".

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 05:56 PM) I disagree. More lives will be saved. Those 20 million doing it legally aren't going to look for an illegal method in mass to account for the loss of life done by those women having an illegal abortion. Millions saved. The statistics demonstrated a significant increase in abortions after this funding was removed. http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/89/12/11-091660/en/

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) Great move, loving this. Saving millions of lives instead of killing them. Thousands of women's lives will be lost. But if you're referring to abortions...they're going to increase. That's what happened the last time this policy was put in place.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 05:22 PM) Why exactly are thousands of women dropping dead with less access to abortion? Do you believe that or are you just parroting Vox.com lol. Perhaps he read the article which explained why thousands of women are likely to die and gave clear evidence to support it.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 03:28 PM) Isn't is possible that some the illegal votes went Trump's way? Nope, 100% of illegals voted for Hillary. And the liberals in California just let them do it. And these millions of illegals all risked felonies/deportation because they love Hillary so much. In a state that she had no chance of losing in the first place.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) Out of the goofiness of this list comes a more interesting thought. With the growth of things like reality TV, and science shows, we actually have a few science celebs out there now. It would be interesting to try to see if a guy like Neil Degras Tyson (or pick someone else) is someone that could drafted into running for office to get science into the mainstream again. I'd throw NDT a vote. It would be nice to have him authoritatively smack down a debate opponent pushing anti-science nonsense too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 04:47 PM) Does he want 1/3rd of the electorate questioning that every move he makes is secretly showing favoritism to the Middle East or Muslims? Have you seen Lemonis? Dude is a whitey white guy. He wouldn't get that any more than any other Democrat. Bigger problem: he's not a natural-born citizen.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 04:01 PM) But why go the extra step and tell blatant lies that are easily proven false? His ego was hurt. He HAS to have the biggest inauguration crowd ever. There's no way that Kenyan Muslim guy beat him.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 05:10 PM) Not a very hopeful speech...."this is what's wrong with the country, #1....." Hope was Obama's theme. Trump's is Anger. Everything sucks and it's somebody's fault.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 04:37 PM) And for folks like you, they won the rebound numbers so they deserve the W "One man, one vote" is such a silly notion.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 11:31 PM) Which discrimination are you speaking to? One example would be hiring bias. Studies have shown that applicants with "black-sounding" names are significantly less likely to get callbacks than those with "white-sounding" names when they have identical resumes. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/04/upshot/t...cial-bias-.html

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 04:36 PM) No, the cheating wasn't the issue. Heels cheat, that's fine. It's the why bother with the cage if you're just going to open the f***ing door aspect of it...they used the cage to prevent Bliss from escaping Lynch AND to stop outside interference...only then they make it just as easy to interfere as if there was no cage present by simply opening the damn door. The cheating should have happened, but they should have made James climb the cage, trapping Lynch in there with both her and Bliss... That cage should NOT have a door on it...and if it does, it should be locked...it's like a huge flaw in the gimmick of why the cage exists in the first place. Yes, the door is really stupid. But I don't think it's much better if James climbs the cage because either way the entire point of the cage, and the match (to prevent the heel from cheating), was nullified. And now the feud is probably going to be over with the cheater victorious. This kind of shenanigans might make sense if the Smackdown had a heel GM: "haha tough lucky, Becky", but it doesn't. Daniel Bryan and the refs look like powerless chumps.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) One negative I'll give that main event is if the sole reason you put them in a cage is to prevent interference, then do away with the door gimmick and make them climb the damn thing. Obviously, heels cheat. Low blows. Interference. Distracting the ref. Fine. But this was all 100% out in the open and the two referees couldn't have cared less.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) Is kickstarter basically a vaporware scheme? Has there even been a product on there that was released with a few months of the original ship date? I've only backed 3 or 4 things on there but it seemingly turns into a mutiny from the backers every time. I've ordered a couple card games from Kickstarter with good results. I probably wouldn't back any project by people who didn't have a solid track record though.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 05:25 PM) What kills me are the people who think he's smart and a nice guy. Someone you'd want to grab a beer with. Rich => smart Doesn't use them big words for nerds that I ain't know => relatable

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) It's Day -9 of the Trump Presidency. I don't know how he, or us, will survive this. Basically we're counting on there being enough sane and intelligent Republicans around him to limit the damage. Trump is truly a dumpster fire.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 05:22 PM) In other "definitely not a Russian pawn" news, Tillerson is bumbling his way through his confirmation hearing and said that sanctions only hurt American businesses. Well they hurt HIS business
