I can rightfully call myself pro abortion. Anyone having a baby that lives below the poverty line should be forced to abort.
It's certainly in their best interests, and those of the child, to not have a child, that's for sure.

You can be a faggot and hop around saying shit like"I don't condone it but it's a choice", but that's fucking absurd, and still doesn't make you any less pro-abortion.
That's exactly what "pro-choice" means, you retard. Pro-choice is not pro-abortion.

I've given up at this point and just reluctantly accepted Trump as my future president.
Very good Choice.
Why did you capitalize choice?
cause I'm pro Choice
Then you can't be a Republican.
That's not true. That is too much of a grey area to dictate what party you stand for. I know Democrats who are pro life, and Republicans who are pro choice.
This tbh senpai.
There is a small dissident faction of Christians in the democratic party who are at least intellectually consistent enough not to try to wiggle their way out of the whole "abortion is murder" thing.
Although the way they try to rationalize voting for pro-abortion politicians while at the same time believing that abortion is murder is fucking ridiculous.
And the pro-choice republicans are basically closet libertarians.
"Pro abortion politicians"
Who are you referring to, exactly?
Politicians who vote for or advocate policies loosening restrictions on abortion, or working to make them more accessible and normalized.
lawl. Anyone who isn't staunchly pro-life is pro-abortion to you. That's fucking gold.

B) Democracy is a spook
You appeal to it as if it has some intrinsic value. It doesn't. Democracy is only good based on the metric of usefulness to a society, and even in that context it is highly overrated.
You're probably going to respond with something about how democracy is morally superior because of the "will of the people" or some shit like that, which is spooked as well.
Stop. Saying. Spooked. It doesn't make any fucking sense in this context. "That weird sound in the attic spooked me" makes sense. "Democracy is a spook" doesn't.

the latter, because one could argue saying african american is a politically correct tumblr thing now a days, and saying "black" is seen as racist
But not all black people are African American. Black people in the UK are not American. People from Jamaica or Haiti are not African. "Black" is correct.

I was in the Northpark area last weekend and went to a chicken and waffles place that was fantastic. Sidecar? Something like that. Fuckin' delicious.
Long-ass wait, though...

Did Trump get stumped at all?
He did, actually. One of the moderators pushed him on his healthcare plan and all he could respond with is "get rid of the state lines" numerous times, where Rubio wittily remarked about how Trump is now the one repeating things, which was hilarious.

I haven't been keeping up with the debates. Been too busy.
Was this one worth watching?
If you intend to watch them to learn about the candidates' policies and see them debate: no. If you want to understand why the world is laughing at us, or you have a drinking game that goes along with the "debate", then yes.

Dr Carson was *literally* the only person to offer any sort of answer when it came to healthcare. Everyone else was "repeal Obamacare" or "get rid of the state lines"
Those aren't plans, those are talking points.

North West people aren't really West Coasters.
That's like saying if you aren't from New England you aren't an east coaster.
You don't have to be from California to live on the west coast.
New England has a pretty different culture than, say, South Carolina. Geographically, yes, they share the same coast, but that's about where it ends.

Surprise level: zero
It's almost as if capitalism works to serve businesses, not the good of the people.
But this isn't true capitalism. There's government and backdoor politics involved.
Well duh. Pure capitalism doesn't exist here. Doing so would be disastrous to the people, the environment, and our allies.

Why is the "it's the location, not a labor market issue" an argument? My location is my labor market. If you don't have a job, how exactly do you move somewhere else for a different job market? Moving costs and renting an apartment are pretty tough when you have no money.

If that difference is that huge for you then you should CALM DOWN with the sexual undertones.
But it isn't huge. The only people making a big deal about it are people who don't like it.
When I play a game with LGBT characters, it's more of a "huh, that's neat" than HOLY FUCKING SHIT YES MOTHERFUCKER! SOME GAY SHIT ALL UP IN THIS BITCH!
When you look for games with it as your criteria it definitely goes beyond "oh neat".
I disagree.

not being able to relate to characters because of sexuality is DUMB unless the game is already sexual in nature
Nobody said anything about not being able to relate to characters because of their sexual orientation.
You do to some degree if you relate better to a character that aligns with your own.
Stories that take place in states I've lived in resonate better with me, too, but that doesn't mean that I don't play games that don't take place in California. Having a deeper connection to a game makes it more enjoyable to play. Nobody said they won't play/can't connect to a game that doesn't have LGBT themes or characters.

with compulsory. I also think you're ignoring that college admissions would still exist. If you're a retard with a .02 GPA, you're not getting in. Obviously, but the prospect of free college devalues the point of getting one. I know from experience in Scotland because I see lazy fuckers all the time coasting on the idea of obtaining a degree because they can, wasting tax payer money, and flooding more of the job market with it.
College isn't the kind of thing you can coast through. Maybe 100-level classes, but as soon as you make it into your third and fourth years, taking upper division classes, that takes actual work. In the US, at least, a college degree is virtually required for any job that pays more than minimum wage. Can we please stop this conjectural meme already? I want to see evidence that the labour market is so fucked that employers refuse to hire anyone that doesn't have a bachelors.
Obviously there are some positions that don't require a degree, and even if the job requirements list a degree, a business can hire whoever they want if they think they have the qualifications. One of my coworkers doesn't have a degree, but has a shit-ton of relevant experience. But that's far from the norm. My sister is job hunting right now, and she's still in college, and nearly every low-level job she applies to has a degree requirement. That's just how things are here. There are a few that don't, but the vast majority do. A college degree is worth now what a high school education was 60-80 years ago. Things change and it's time to adapt. Absolute hogwash. What about skill based work? Plumbers, electricians and construction workers are just as important to the facilitation of the economy as uni grads are, and sometimes pay more in some instances. I almost never see emphasis placed on those types of professions.
I literally mentioned trades in the post you're quoting...which you conveniently omitted.

Why do people get salty about an LGBT curator, but if there was a curator for "games with dragons" or "puzzle games" you wouldn't give a shit?
Because people don't make posts about those.
And puzzle games actually give you an idea of what the game is like.
Pretty sure posting the furry curator somewhere would get you a chorus of "yiff in hell"
But you're not required to follow that curator, soo...why care what they curate?
I'm just saying IMO it's silly to care so much about something so small enough to go looking for games with it as a criteria.
YOU might think it's something small, but to a group to that's so under-represented in media, especially games, it's something nice for them.

that's absolute horseshit and you know it.
Even being a receptionist or an office clerk requires a college degree. Not sure how much lower on the totem pole you can get in the corporate world.
But I know lots of secretaries who've never been to college...
..ok? Clearly not every business adheres to this practice. They can choose who they hire.
