The Flood / Re: I have a lot of respect for school shooters
« on: January 18, 2016, 12:26:52 AM »
Dude, i hope you're joking.

And get some help if you're even considering doing something like shooting up a school.
You're a fucking retard.

I'm not the one who idolizes school shooters.

Please get some help. It could save innocent lives.
This is why you're a fucking moron. I'm not even going to defend why what you're saying is stupid. I'm just going to call you a fucking moron, because you're a fucking moron. Please go get hit by a truck. Stupid Jarhead Fertilizer.
Why are you getting so defensive?

I haven't seen most of these (as usual  :'( ) but I would have thought Michael B. Jordan's performance in Creed was at least good enough for some sort of acknowledgement. I think it's a little bit dishonest to say it's not a stand out performance, because it is, especially in the face of this abomination. Talk about a career save ::)

IIRC the reason only Sly edged in for Best Supporting Actor was that the studio really didn't campaign for Creed for the awards season--they weren't expecting to have a legitimately good movie on their hands. That, and the awards season tends to favor the older folks anyway, I'm pretty sure.

But either way, it's hardly over for Jordan or director Ryan Coogler. Between Creed and Fruitvale Station, it's obvious they're going places. (Next stop for Coogler is Marvel's Black Panther movie.) They'll have plenty of opportunities in their future, and the studios aren't going to make the same mistake twice.
He killed it in the movie, but let's be real, it was the seventh installment in a popular blockbuster fighting series. Not you're typical Oscar awarded film.

Don't we have the capability to check anything suspicious along with daily checks with the Iran Deal?
Which assumes Iran will comply with the terms. Going by their behaviour prior to the deal--and during the deal--I highly doubt it.
So we're giving them a shit ton of sanctioned money for a deal they're just inevitably going to break?

-Wants to stay out of the Middle East
How is staying out of other countries conflicts that takes place thousands of miles away from us a bad thing?
You mean aside from the fact that the United States leaving when it did made it possible for ISIL to rise in the first place? Aside from the fact that countries being apathetic to do anything is what allowed them to become the militant force they are today? Aside from the fact that they are genocidal and threaten the entire world with terrorism? Aside from the fact that three major countries are bombing them and it doesn't seem to be doing much?

Doing nothing because it's "too far" is just stupid foreign policy. If we don't go in, then Russia just will and then have greater influence over the region.

I'm checking out his website, and while I will concede that the positions he has listed are very dense, unless I'm missing something, there's only like five things here.

There's nothing about his plans for Iran, ISIL, or Syria. I've watched every Republican debate and have no clue what his plan is for those things. He seems to give a lot of fluff without much substance on the issues. Other candidates are giving very thorough foreign policy plans. Compare Trump's website to someone like Marco Rubio's who has separate pages for ISIS, Iran, Russia, and China.

His plan to build a wall would be extremely expensive; his plan to make Mexico pay for it is absurd; his plan to apprehend millions of illegals and deport them is wrong. To address the part that I called "emotion-based" would be referring to his idea to ban Muslims from visiting the United States following San Bernadino. He doesn't have the right to do this and it's wrong.

that's too vague
Which seems to be the problem with most of Trump's proposals.

I see that you're capable of taking quotes, now can you answer the questions?

Are you illiterate?
Are you? I asked you several questions and you didn't say a single damn thing, taking quotes does not tell me what's wrong with his plan liked I asked.

You do know that quoting someone isn't an argument right?
He probably didn't think what's wrong with the plan needs to be explained, no offense. I mean it probably sounds good to low-information voters but whenever he's pressed as to how he's going to implement these things, his answer is rarely more than "I just will". Virtually every Republican aside from Cruz considers it unrealistic.

Claims he'll get along well with Putin based on his brief meeting with him on 60 minutes
The funny thing is they didn't actually meet. They did that interview in two separate countries. He was lying.

Wrong. And in every single rally he does Trump always makes it a point to mention that he's going to settle business with Iran and ISIS.
"Syria’s a mess. You look at what’s going on with ISIS in there, now think of this: we’re fighting ISIS. ISIS wants to fight Syria. Why are we fighting ISIS in Syria? Let them fight each other and pick up the remnants."

Please tell me what's wrong with his plan, and how everyone else's immigration plan isn't emotionally based.
Not sure what I can say about this that hasn't already been said. It looks like Turkey has it covered though.

Not sure what you mean by this
Claims he'll get along well with Putin based on his brief meeting with him on 60 minutes. Regardless he proposes no plans on the matter.

These are almost fair points though, he doesn't give substance in his speeches but they are there on his site, and most of his plans seem to rest on congress letting him do what he wants which is still uncertain.
I'll check out the site.

Ignoring the first two, when has he ever lied?

He always gets in a disagreement with someone regarding facts during the Republican debates and his never seem to check out.

Very few reasons to vote for him m8.

    +Decent tax plan
    +Doesn't give a fuck about offending people or being controversial
    +Dislikes political correctness

    -Wants to stay out of the Middle East
    -Protectionist
    -Immigration plans are emotion-based and poorly thought-out
    -Will be weak on Russia
    -Both parties hate him, would not get along with any Congress
    -Usually doesn't give much substance in terms of solutions other than "I would do better"
    -Narcissistic
    -Doesn't seem very intelligent
    -Lies a lot

While four years of Trump wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to America, I can't imagine it would be constructive in the slightest.

He's such a divisive candidate, I can't see the GOP giving him the nom anyway.

Anyways, we're like four months away from season 6 with GRRM not even mentioning anything about a release date, so I don't take this as much of a surprise.

I can see Jon's parentage being revealed this season, kinda sucks that we have to see it in the show first but eh.
Eh, if a reveal that's already been widely accepted among the fanbase is the worse thing to be spoiled this season, I'll be fine. What's really going to piss me off is when it starts to spoil who survives and who doesn't in a shitty, simplified way.

Spoiler
Like Stannis?
Spoiler
Possibly. I'm currently not expecting him to die in the Battle of Winterfell but I can't imagine he'll have a key role in the last book. I kind of think the characters they decided to kill off in season 5 were characters that they didn't know where to go with for the show. I mean they cut Aegon and he is obviously going to have a huge role in TWOW so it's hard to say what level of accuracy the show can be held to at this point. I'm more so talking about the A-list characters like Jaime or Arya. If one of them dies, then they surely die in the books.
Spoiler
I think Stannis will crush Ramsay Bolton at least (Roose may escape), and return to the Wall to face the Others in battle, where he will die.

My second line of thought is that he might take Massey's sellswords and march south only to be struck down by Dany, which I would not be a fan of compared to the first option.
Spoiler
Stannis is a hard one to predict. I don't know where is going to fit in the conflict between Dany, Aegon, the Greyjoys, etc. But I don't think he's going to die based solely on the fact that he's suddenly getting financed by the Iron Bank. If he dies, what was the point of that? Your first option seems likely.

Roose can't die just yet. He's got some 'splainin to do.

Can someone please explain to me why people take Verb seriously and let him derail every thread with low quality bait?
There wasn't much discussion to begin with. The thread is about a book being late so you're not going to have much to talk about. Also the thread really isn't derailed when we're talking about the books in a thread that's about one of the books.
The point is this happens all the time and always revolves around Verb.
