lol okay. and if the left rips the demagogues on the right, what happens? truth is produced?

thekremlin · 09-23-2012, 12:14 PM

Not a new phenomenon, they're just getting better at it.

Making fun of poor people can be hilarious among the right crowd. But national television isn't the right crowd. Making fun of the rich and powerful, however, seems to always fly.

ninjaface · 09-23-2012, 01:49 PM

That is because no one feels sorry for the rich and powerful.

DJ FC · 09-23-2012, 01:58 PM

That's because they have it better off than most people.

So you're saying that is unfair?

Why?

DJ FC · 09-23-2012, 02:11 PM

I've never tried to claim it's unfair. Blonde asked why conservatives aren't jokesters. I'm merely saying it's because making fun of poor people isn't funny to most people. That's all.

ninjaface · 09-23-2012, 02:16 PM

You're acting as if jokes about poor people is their only option for subject matter.

I really won't get sucked into this as I don't actually care. Poor people can make fun of rich people in public easier. The reverse is not true. That's all.

Dent · 09-23-2012, 04:40 PM

Requesting jokes about poor people please

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 09-23-2012, 05:03 PM

White trash, nigger jokes are all pretty hilarious for example.

thekremlin · 09-24-2012, 02:03 AM

I don't think black people should be able to make jokes about white trash. IT'S OUR WORD.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-03-2012, 08:58 PM

Romney is browbeating Obama tonight.

Obama better step up his publicity and grab a few big name celebrity endorsements or he could be in trouble.

Ugly Bastard · 10-04-2012, 09:40 AM

I didn't think the debate was nearly as one-sided as everyone seems to be saying today. Romney was indeed very impressive. Policy-wise, I think he's a loon, but he came off very eloquent and professional last night. Obama did just fine IMO with getting his main talking points across, he's playing at more of a disadvantage. It's easy for Romney to shit all over him since the country is not doing amazingly well but I agree with Obama that a.) he inherited the worst situation this country has been in in 80 years and that b.) it was largely Bush deregulation policies that allowed banks to gamble hard and cause the financial crisis in the first place.

I'd say Romney won debate by like 55-58% to 42-45% margin. Overall both men came off well spoken and professional. It's impressive really when you consider the magnitude of what they're up there trying to do. I like them both a lot as professionals. As policy-makers, god help us. Where was Gary Johnson?

Mr. Blonde · 10-04-2012, 11:31 AM

Interesting quiz, you might be surprised who you match up with.

See which presidential candidate you side with

Ugly Bastard · 10-04-2012, 12:41 PM

Pretty solid quiz. Results not too surprising for me: side 90% with Gary Johnson, 72% with Obama and 57% with Romney. That's about completely what I would have expected ratios-between-the-candidates-wise.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-04-2012, 02:24 PM

Pretty shitty quiz. A couple had Identical answers between the politicians but counted them differently. For example, I answered No to the following question, even though they both had the same answer the quiz said I agreed with Obama and disagreed with Romney:

Foreign Policy
Should the U.S. intervene in the affairs of other countries?
Mitt Romney: Only if there is a direct threat to our national security

Barack Obama: Only in matters of national security, human rights violations, or specifically asked by the international community

It also said I agree 94% with Jill Stein, LOL. Cherry picked questions.

Saint DH · 10-04-2012, 02:34 PM

Yeah, you really can't trust an online quiz. I took an online IQ test once and it basically said I was a fucking genius with an IQ of 156. Actually, on second thought, I think you can trust online quizzes

According to my results, I side 91% with Gary's Johnson, 86% with Mitt, and, surprisingly, 58% with Barack Mohammed Obama.

DJ FC · 10-04-2012, 03:12 PM

This one's a bit different, it's just comparing your political beliefs. Hardly an IQ test.

93% Gary Johnson
66% Mitt Romney
27% Jill Stein
25% Barack Obama
23% Virgil Goode
11% Rocky Anderson

Me and Mitt agree about NASA. If there was a NASA party I'd vote for it. Even if the spaceships were fueled by babies. Makes me sad that he's the only one that supports space exploration. I mean what's the fucking point of being here if we're just going to be anti-social assholes?
