Surprise level: zero
It's almost as if capitalism works to serve businesses, not the good of the people.

I'm confused with what this has to do with west-coasters...

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?

I think people are forgetting that the primary purpose of a degree is to gear you up for becoming an effective member of society. It isn't for everyone. Not everybody has the mental capacity to do a degree. It's all very nice saying free college 'educates the population', but what's the point in obtaining said education if it's been rendered useless? How are you supposed to stand out if everyone and anyone has a degree?
I think you're confusing free [at point of use] 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. If you want to pursue a trade, or some other line of work that doesn't require a college degree - go for it. If you don't think you have the skills for college - fine, it's not for you. In the US, at least, a college degree is virtually required for any job that pays more than minimum wage. 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.

stop saying "spook"
Stop acting spooked and I will
That doesn't make any sense.

How come nobody told him "hey, make sure you're not soliciting nudie pics from underage girls"?

I could see why you'd delete evidence, even if it could save them from a harsher punishment. Basic logic: "If I completely remove myself from this, I can't get in trouble, hooray!"
I suppose he can't exactly get in trouble for owning CP if he deleted it, right?
He's a minor himself so I'm not sure if that comes into play.
I'm fairly certain they can both potentially be charged for CP, actually. Might depend on the state.
Wow. What a way to fuck up two lives before they really know what's going on.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I have a question for you, Flee. What about gun rights for people who live somewhere like Alaska or somewhere else that has lots of dangerous animals and times when people need to hunt for themselves?
Having lived in a Alaska, it's recommended you be armed, even if you live in the city. Moose and bears are often known to wander the streets of big cities like Anchorage and they pose a serious threat to humans.

Is the bearing of arms and the private ownership of firearms a fundamental, natural, universal and inalienable human right, and/or should it be so?
No, it isn't, because clearly a government or controlling body is easily able to prevent you from owning firearms. Is it a constitutional right? Yes. Constitutional rights =/= natural rights.

Degenerates... the lot of you...
It's interesting how many of you are ready to convict him with what little evidence of wrongdoing we have.
I think most of the people in this thread are suspicious or skeptical, but not ready to string him up.

I saw this game on the Steam front page today: http://store.steampowered.com/app/413410/I do have a causal interest in anime, but the obscure stuff puts me off. Are games like this any good?

Everything is becoming too politically correct.
I don't see why including LGBT characters or themes is "politically correct"

It's because our middle class is shrinking, leaving pretty much anyone who isn't ultra-rich as part of the "working class"

If it were the other way around you would be 100% on their side.
Nope, I'm staunchly opposed to obstructionism.

I like how you can't make an argument like we're not on 4chan. Get the fuck out with this reeeee bullshit. Makes you look like a fucking retard. Pretend like you're an adult for a second.
Everything Republicans do is about controlling the people. Abortion. War. Gay marriage. Spying. Try to justify it all you want, but it conflicts with their claim that they want smaller government and freedom.
"I'm not going to even think about what you've said. Instead I will attack you for explaining things in simplistic and creative terminology because it comes from a website I dislike, and restate the claims that you refuted".
You're easily our worst poster.
But what you said is fucking wrong. If Republicans didn't want to control people, they wouldn't support policies that control people, retard.
They don't see it as control, in fact they see it as securing freedom and fighting control by other forces.
You refuse to even consider other perspectives while decrying them as the highest of evils.
Just because "they don't see it as control" doesn't mean it isn't control.

The fact that people's morals differ is exactly why objective morality doesn't exist.
Morality exists because there is a God who dictates them.
lawl. Which god? Your god, right? The one, true God? Because why would you waste your time worshiping a god that wasn't the one true god - that's dumb. If there is no god then morality is simply what you want it to be. Yes, that is exactly what is going on.

I guess science doesn't exist, then, because professional opinions on science tend to differ depending on the scientist.
Science has nothing to do with morality. Morality is not measurable or observable. If I conduct the same scientific experiment you did, and reach different results, one of us is wrong. The scientific method exists for a reason.

Objective morality doesn't exist. If you're a child who hasn't given an ounce of thought on the subject, sure.
The fact that people's morals differ is exactly why objective morality doesn't exist. You and I do not share the same moral values. If objective morality existed, we would. But we don't.

All morality is subjective and arbitrary.
No.
Yes. Objective morality doesn't exist.

Because everyone is entitled to an education. It's a fundamental birthright of all people.
Just like everyone is entitled to a comfortable home, water, electricity, an Internet connection, and a decent life.
Everything that is required for you to live on this planet should be free, and anyone who disagrees should probably die.
None of us asked to be here, so we are owed everything on a silver platter. Total utopic perfection, or nothing.
I have no idea what this picture is about
Unfortunately, that cleared up nothing.

Is there a purpose in using """"""""""free"""""""""" repeatedly?
Because it isn't and cannot be truly free. The burden of cost is simply moved directly onto the shoulders of those who do not directly benefit from it.
It's as free as a car bought with stolen money. Really, as free as a stolen car.
Oh my bad, I didn't realize you were one of those "taxes are theft" folks.
There's nothing wrong with that notion. It is totally accurate.
I just don't care about the morality of it anymore. It is arbitrary, spooked morality.
What the fuck is "spooked morality"? Is this a meme you're trying to force?
Morality based on arbitrary ideas that have no objective basis and simply make you feel good about yourself.
Which would be totally okay if you'd just admit that they're arbitrary and just make you feel good.
What does this have to do with being spooky? All morality is subjective and arbitrary.

Wars give the government more power to control the American people. That's a conservative's wet dream.
Conservatives in America today decry government policies that have major impacts on the lives of Americans. Something tells me they don't have wet dreams about the things they categorically oppose.
They SAY they don't want government control over the people, but their actions indicate otherwise.
We're not clear on who "they" are here, but let's say you're talking about a generic republican.
Pro foreign war: Pretty consistent. Enforces American dominance of geopolitics and the global economy.
Anti abortion: They believe fetuses are in fact persons, and that the destruction of a person is wrong. In this sense they want to protect American lives. Unless you can refute the claim that fetuses are persons without resorting to arbitrary crap, shoving the "muh reproductive rights" card does nothing. They want to protect the right to life of what they see as young Americans.
For decentralized government power: More power to the states means more power for individuals within those states, and less control over the people in a general sense (although blue states would end up running more aspects of American lives than in the past, under this trend)
Spying: has little to do with control, the point is to ensure safety from harm, reinforcing individual freedoms. Having your shit seen does not equate to having your life controlled. Can this be abused to remove political and personal autonomy? Absolutely, but the INTENT is positive. The practice may be different, but that is in the hands of governmen agents, not conservatives.
Against centralized healthcare: pretty straightforward. "Government get out reeeeeeeee"
For limiting the welfare state: Again, straightforward. "government stop making poor people dependent on you thereby limiting their agency and capacity/desire to make a decent living for themselves reeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
I think I hit the major points, but feel free to tell me if I missed one.

=Reminder that the people that vote are old, racist, white people. No way they'll vote for Community Sanders or Criminal Clinton. Trump has this election locked up.
Well by that logic, how did Obama win?
If the democratic party actually gets excitement, they'll win, but it seems from the turnout polls, and history in general, that a Republican will win. Unless it's Cruz.
Because black people, who don't normally vote, voted for Obama. If Obama was white he would have lost.
I'm not so sure about that. The entire country was fed up with Bush and the republicans in the white house.
And here we are, nearly 8 years later, fighting the stupid wars that we hated back then, soo...fat lot of good that did us.
Who is this we.
I didn't hate the Afghan or Iraq wars.
Of course you don't - conservatives love wars. Wars make them money. Wars give the government more power to control the American people. That's a conservative's wet dream.
