    I think answering trolls is wrong. Several people have already pointed out how ridiculous his position is. Over and over. Can't you learn?

    Given that I am answering a post that includes "stink'n think'n" "intellectual dishonesty "aggro arrogance" "mental masturbation" "your bitter" "regressive Dictatorship" "A fool and his money" - that's some funny stuff right there. If you look at it objectively, right wing terrorism is a far bigger problem in the US than left wing rioters. I suspect that even you would prefer your store to be vandalized than to be killed. "Both are bad!" - Absolutely. For the solution to that I refer to a guy who was a lot better at this than I could ever be: "It is as necessary for me to be as vigorous in condemning the conditions which cause persons to feel that they must engage in riotous activities as it is for me to condemn riots. I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention." So there's your answer - if you want one.

    A write-in vote is not discarded if, and only if, the candidate has registered for the state election. Example: In 2010 Lisa Murkowski lost the GOP senate primary in Alaska. She registered as a write-in candidate, and won the election.

    There is no concept of benefit versus cost. Just look to all the individual freedom loving, pro small government "conservatives" that would love to enforce mandatory drug testing for state aid recipients. They would gleefully spend millions to take a few 100k of benefits away from people.

    I drive across the border to deliver freight in the midwest about 4 times a month. America is awesome. Don't let the Orange One mess it up for you. He is making it clear that nothing else matters but his pride and self esteem. He will set you against each other and light the nation on fire if he can in order to prevail. Your debt levels are now at a level not seen since the end of the Great Patriotic War. And I pay attention because you are so freaking heavy that when you roll over you will crush us.

    I will say that with our electoral college vote-by-state system, if you live in a state that’s guaranteed to vote for a given candidate overwhelmingly, then a third party vote is irrelevant. With the churn in this election, those states aren’t as numerous as they were in the last one. And with the current president all but guaranteeing an angry protest and maybe uprising if he doesn’t win, then a large popular vote, even in the safely-opposing states, still matters. And that near promise of his is an important reason to vote. Delegitimize his ass. Wendy P.

    I did. It was interesting enough, but at the end when he was getting on the helicopter, I was thinking, 'Hey, asshole, go back and get your rig!'

    ok. Got approx 50 jumps on the Pelican now, and I also let others try it out to get their feedback. First of all it's very easy to fly, intuitive and stable - and not the least it's very comfortable. It can feel a bit nervous, but it is not. It just reacts quickly directly to input. It has some serious power and it is in the same league as the SQ Freaks / TS Hog. It has a natural flatter glide due to high up arm sweep design and so at first it feels slower, but if you know how to change angle of attack efficiently it can fly as fast as Freak's. However, naturally it wants to just hang up there which it certainly can do. It's just a glide thing out of the box. Transitions to backflying is very forgiving like a Havok and easy to learn. Flying it well/fast on the back is a bit more demanding than similar suits due to the high up arm sweep design again, but once you find out how to do this its is ok fine. It excels at XRW not more to say about that! It has a very beefy abrupt flare and pulling is totally easy. So in short; it does what it is supposed to do and excels at XRW. It has way more power than it is said to have on the website and to be quite clear it seems to have slightly more power than the TS Hog (flocking with friends its obvious) even though it is advertised to be less powerfull which I find is odd. I could need some heavy duty reinforcements on the booties to minimize wear and tear. I certainly recommend the suit to people that are not too lightweight; if you are skinny you will float up there for ever and flocking might be hard work coming down.

    Unfortunately religion and especially Christianity has the insane underlying principle of “faith” and the sheep are actively taught not to question anything. They prey on the vulnerable and easily manipulated. I’m pretty happy to generalise that most church leaders are predators, especially of the evangelical flavour.

    Ignorance is curable for those that want to cure it. What I find sad is the number of people who wear their ignorance as if it were a badge of honor.

    Hook, line and sinker. How do you imagine that Canada, the UK, the EU even function. For two decades the GOP and the right has had that line of B.S. With a little FOX emphasis thrown in. The US can't compete with all the taxes and regulation. With all the welfare. Then along came trump with tariffs on those "unfair Canadians". Tariffs on EU imports. With all the environmental, social programs how is it that the EU, Germany and Canada even trade? trump slashed taxes tossed out every environmental regulation and slashed almost every regulation. Yet US exports have hardly budged. Why do those lazy Canadian welfare, lazy Swedish welfare, lazy UK welfare recipients even bother to get out of bed? The benefits in all those US competitors have much superior social benefits. The entire EU must be wards of the state with a little crime on the side eh? Whats your theory?
