Stop making these cancerous threads. You do that and all your problems will be solved.

I'd probably still have my head stuck in books.
Speaking of that what books do you suggest? I want to get some for Christmas. I know you're a book worm with great taste so I figure you would be the best guy here to ask.
I honestly haven't been reading very much recently, but I've heard good things about Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey.
I'd also personally recommend Charles Stross' Accelerando and Atrocity Archives, the former being a sort of whimsical space opera with some cyberpunk thrown into the mix and the latter being an orgy between James Bond, the IT Crowd and Lovecraft.
My brother's also big on Sci-Fi, and I know he likes Alistair Reynolds' Blue Remembered Earth. I don't know much about it, but my brother said the main character liked elephants a lot.
Those sound pretty cool. What are some of your suggestions for nonfiction books?

Nothing of value will be said at these debates and someone on here will be able to sum it all up in one satirical post.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/shepherds-tear-gas-tense-standoff-romania/BUCHAREST, Romania - Thousands of angry shepherds engaged in a tense standoff with riot police outside Romania's parliament building Tuesday in protest at a law that restricts the number of sheepdogs they can use and bans them from grazing sheep during the winter.
Romanian authorities say the Carpathian shepherd dogs are aggressive and kill other wild animals such as deer and wild boar that are hunters' favorites, while the grazing ban helps the environment. But shepherds insist the law is an attack on centuries of sheep-rearing in the rural Balkan nation.
Riot police fired tear gas at the shepherds, some of whom were dressed in floor-length sheepskins and were blowing horns, to keep them from charging at the Parliament building. There was a tense standoff lasting until nightfall between hundreds of riot police, some mounted on horses, and the 4,000 shepherds. Some had traveled as far as 300 miles for the protest, but they didn't bring their dogs.
Alarmed by the unprecedented protest, the Senate chairman called Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos and asked him to modify the law in an emergency ordinance. Ciolos explained that was not immediately possible as the law had been voted on by Parliament, spokesman Dan Suciu said. The prime minister has promised to try to find a legal solution, Suciu said.
Lawmaker Liviu Harbuz later said a parliamentary committee had signed an agreement that will allow the government to adopt an emergency ordinance scrapping the regulation of sheepdogs and grazing.
The contentious law, passed in June, says shepherds can use a single sheepdog for sheep grazing on the plain, two for hilly terrain and a maximum of three for mountain flocks. If shepherds flout the law, extra dogs can be shot. It also bans grazing from December to April.
"A lot of dogs will be killed and this will endanger the sheep," Ionica Nechifor, general secretary of the Romovis sheep farming federation, told The Associated Press by telephone. He said shepherds need 10 dogs for mountain flocks and an average of five to six for sheep grazing on the plain.
The law was introduced by supporters of hunting, a popular pastime among Romania's elite since the days of Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu. He was an avid hunter, but according to accounts, not an accurate shot. Security officers hid in the bushes and undergrowth and killed the animals for him.
Ceausescu was toppled and executed during the December 1989 revolution, but in part thanks to Romania's large swaths of forests and plains, the pastime remains popular among the well-heeled, who associate it with the aristocracy.
Sheep farming forms the backbone of rural Romania, home to some 10 million sheep and 1.5 million goats. Supporters of the law have argued that it will protect animals targeted by hunters from the large Carpathian shepherd dog, a large indigenous canine, and that by keeping the sheep off the pastures will protect the environment.
Shepherds vehemently disagree. "We can't live without sheepdogs, which scare off the wild animals," said Traian Nica, a 49-year-old shepherd. "We want our rights back."
Grigore Popa, 68, waved a big stick and shouted: "I was born among the sheep and we will cut lawmakers' heads off."
Agriculture Minister Achim Irimescu said Tuesday he supported the shepherds' demands and the law needed to be changed, in an interview with Digi24 television station.

http://www.archaeology.org/news/4005-151214-roman-wreck-garumALASSIO, ITALY—A Roman ship dating to between the first and second century A.D. has been found off the Ligurian coast. Italy’s scuba diver-police force, the Carabinieri Subacquei, assisted with the investigation of the wreck, which rests under more than 650 feet of water. The ship is estimated to have been nearly 100 feet long and, due to the shape of most of the amphoras on board, it is thought to have been carrying a load of garum on a route between Italy, Spain, and Portugal. “After we filmed the wreck and analyzed an amphora and some fragments that a robotic craft brought back to the surface, we realized the ship was carrying a huge quantity of fish sauce when it sank,” team leader Simon Luca Trigona of the Archaeological Superintendency of Liguria told The Local. Other jars only made in the area around the Tiber River in Rome suggest the vessel carried Italian wines to the Iberian Peninsula. “It’s a nice find because it means we are almost sure about the route this ship was on,” Trugona said. To read about how maritime trade fueled the growth of the Roman Empire, go to "Rome's Imperial Port." It doesn't seem too special but it's a cool find. It was apparently a commerce vessel carrying wine and garum to Iberia.

This is probably the only thing I really disagree about with him and the vaccinations causing autism thing, because both are fucking dumb, but at least he's an overall better choice than Shillary and Bernie "Free Shit" Sanders.
The comment above your post makes your post all the better
So then is it wrong for me to think of Trump as an actually decent candidate.

Save your condescension and sob story. I don't care. I've suffered a lot and I'm not here crying or trying to kill myself.
If you're mentally fucked up, whatever. But don't tell me I don't know what it's like. I'm not here saying "lol it's easy just man up lmao". I'm saying man up, because giving into it doesn't make anything better.
Oh really? Tell me. What do you get for pushing it out and living your life? Pushing through all the hassle and garbage that will inevitably come your way. You might get lucky. You might be happy. But then, oops, bad roll, happiness taken away, like some toy from a child.
And at the end of it all, no matter what you did, no matter who you are, how good or bad, you die. You'll either die alone, or leave somebody behind. And if you choose to just take the shortcut and skip the bullshit? You leave behind hurting upset people.
But get this, if you committed suicide tomorrow, your family would have to deal with it. It might destroy them. It might not. Or you might go out to work tomorrow with a smile on your face and get hit by a drunk driver. In which case your family would have to deal with the same fucking thing. The only difference being whether or not you chose to die, or were hit with a bad roll.
So you say giving in doesn't make it any better.
Well guess what. You don't have a choice. Being the big man on the block and "manning up" doesn't reward you with anything except delaying what's inevitable. Even if you get a lucky roll and manage to avoid lots of bullshit in your life, you're going to have to face up to the inevitability that one day, whatever makes you happy is going to be forcefully taken from you when you die.
So at that point, really, why bother with it all, if it's so keen to just laugh and spit in your face no matter how hard you try?
Because I'm a real nigga
If you're just going to be stupid then please don't post in threads like these.
I'm being really smart.
No, you're not. You're giving awful advice.
You're giving awful advice.
I don't give advice on this subject as I'm in no way qualified to do so. Really though, if you're just going to tell people to "man up" and shitpost then don't bother posting. It's in extremely poor taste.
Because you're all being way too emotional about this. Like women.
No one here is having an emotional breakdown. They're just talking about their personal experiences with mental health issues. I don't see why that's a bad thing.

Assuming you were the same in terms of your character all I'd probably do differently is just make Allahu Akbar jokes torwards you and my opinion of you probably wouldn't change too much. You'd still be the same guy who says things I occasionally find spot on but at the same time says things that I find kind of dumb like your opinions of transgender people.

Infringment cases are always interesting. Curious to see where this goes.
What's the process on these cases generally?
I would assume economic sanctions or revoking some member privileges if all persuasive dialogue fails?
Why not look it up and become better informed by learning things yourself?
What is everybody's deal here with running to Meta and Flee? LOL You guys are like little kids that think their parents know everything.
Because Flee is our philosopher king.
