The Lief Reservoir of Simple Truths and Smart One-Liners

Western Europe may be democratic, but I wouldn't call it a "free society."

I'm afraid you're mistaken, this isn't the bad posts thread.

Have a sense of irony, sarcasm, and/or humor, comrade! I'm not going to turn this into a doctoral thesis on my displeasure at most, if not all, human societies. And who the heck said freedom was good? Have you ever been to America?

Ironically--

In general Trump has the worst surrogates and spokespeople on cable. Not only do they seem to be loathsome people but they don't do a good job of staying on message. It is another sign of how slapdash his whole campaign is. But like having minimal ground game and almost no advertising it doesn't seem to hurt him.

More anti-Trump garbage from this site's moderators. Trump has a very good ground game, as has been repeatedly reported on in the media over the past few months, and can be objectively evidenced by the ease and speed which he has qualified for primary ballots.

No offence, Lief, because I like you and stuff...

But we're reaching a point where the ironic Trump support is untenable. He was a bigot before, but it wasn't exactly making its way into policy. He's crossed a line with his Muslim ban, and to still support him is to kind of be complicit in that. It's not funny anymore—just scary.

If we were going to try to come up with a healthy diet, with health as the end-goal, it's going to have meat.

Ironic considering the last two of three posts, but:

Obviously, they aren't educating their kids about the Bible, otherwise they'd realize that the secret pretribulation rapture is a fundamentalist fable.

I think we all know Rubio Republican wouldn't be posting this if the dentist had, say, family in Pakistan.

If you're a rather selfish middle-class 20-something guy who finds himself very smart, who is politically engaged, who spends too much time on the internet (specifically sites like 4chan) and who is unattactive, you're probably going to be a libertarian. You're also going to be an MRA because girls don't like that type of guy.

He was an FF towards the very end, but he spent the majority of his career as the spokesman of a cult which advocated segregation and racism. Can't vote anything other than HP.

Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Holy sh**t, has Congress been running the country this whole time?

I have that scene from The Blind Side going through my head now.

Making that kind of comment is never deemed funny in the Cave. We just don't have much of a sense of humor I guess.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Considering that the GOP is in its worst shape since the Great Depression and has basically already lost the election, I say yes. Biden would have crushed the most likely Republican nominees (Trump and Cruz) in a landslide.

Family Guy shouldn't do any more episodes about anything.

I honestly keep forgetting that this show (and The Simpsons) are still on the air, such is their relevance these days.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Family Guy should do one final episode, where they sincerely apologize for the awfulness they have long inflicted on America.

Damn that was good (sorry Tony).

I should know better than responding, and hopefully this new avalanche of mass stupidity will accelerate my phasing out from this rotting carcass of a forum aside from the international elections (and possibly demographics) board, but I guess I'll just put this out there.

Look, you know I've been one of your biggest supporters, but that wasn't the real problematic part. It was very foolish to call out the rest of the forum over a falsely perceived trait using words like "specimens" to describe them and make yourself appear above the fray and completely superior in a competitive sense. The two biggest issues on the matter of recent history are no longer posters here (not that they'd be harassing her online). A lot of people feel the need to call out the forum over issues like sexism, racism, or even nerdiness (creepiness too?) when the fact is that these labels are patently untrue for most. And of course the excuse of demographics is used to back up those labels
Atlas forum regulars are fine people. Can we stop calling out the whole forum in a manner that only makes the name caller look ridiculous?

You're being incredibly hostile right now.
