So all they did was leak that he once applied to be a secret service agent? How is that embarrassing?
Obviously a leak of any personal information by the agency is inappropriate and concerning, but I'm failing to see why this is a big deal.
Makes it looks like he's critical of the agency not for any valid reasons, but simply because he couldn't get in? Seems obvious enough to me. Because, in no particular order, 1) it was deliberate, illegal, and was private information, 2) it was retribution for criticizing the agency, and 3) agencies trying to blackmail or discredit their own oversight committees is problematic and undermines the purpose of having such a committee.

i'm just saying
misquotes aren't cool
Who's misquoting? I took that off of one of my Facebook friends, not some 18th century French faggot
...it's a misquote of some 18th century "faggot"

It's a crock of absolute shit.
Yeah I have to agree with you here. And good on you for actually trying to fact-check the claim that older people are more conservative, I didn't even think of it >.> I think this is digressing from the bigger picture though, because: And the quote isn't from Churchill, it's from François Guizot. "Not to be a republican at 20 is proof of want of heart; to be one at 30 is proof of want of head." This statement was made before the 1960s, with the shift in platform between Republicans and Democrats.
I think the context of this is kind of important here. A conservative politician basically making a witty remark that liberals are emotional and conservatives are rational. The same thing that I've been saying all along, that it's not some 'well this is the way people's beliefs tend to change' but rather, a narrow 'if you're not on his side, you're an idiot.' One would be extremely hard-pressed to prove a blanket statement such as that.

This is literally oversimplifying something that has far more depth to it than one quote could give it.
But a bunch of people would think it rings true because they think they're pseudo-philosophers. It only preaches to the ignorant.
As Meta said earlier, it's good if you just look at is as a trend of views and not project implications on it.
Youth have always leaned more liberally then there predecessors, and always have grown to have more conservative values as they grow older.
I think it's quite obviously less of an "observation" than a command.
Young Republicans are more liberal than older Republicans. Older Democrats are more conservative than Young Democrats.
It's incredibly obvious what PSU thinks, and what his intent is behind the post. But the statement itself isn't necessarily wrong.
That may be a trend but I can't see how the statement actually implies any of that.
Liberalism has the connotation of empathy, Conservatism has the connotation of experience. Given that it's true that young people trend towards "charitable" goals and older people trend toward "personal" values, it's not really wrong.
But when you imply that one is necessarily more "right" than the other is when it starts to break down. Which is why, just taken at face value, it's not wrong.
What you're saying about conservatism and liberalism is true, but it's a stretch to take all of that out of this statement.
Not really, no. "If you're not a liberal by 20, you have no heart" AKA empathy. "If you're not a conservative by the time you're 40, you have no head" AKA you haven't put thought to personal values or you haven't paid attention over the past 20 or so years.
I don't think there's really any problem with the statement, but "PSU posted it means that it must be wrong" is the real contention here.
I've come to realize by now that "If you don't conform to my rigid, binary worldview..." is an awfully narrow way to view the world, not to mention problematic. PSU being the OP has nothing to do with this.

Saw a bit of it on Toonami once, was a bit weirded out by the mechas and the religious stuff.

Why?

What I like about this quote is that it appears to be hostile/negligent towards independent thought.
I don't like quotes that try to simplify things that are extremely complicated.
This being one of them.
Don't like it, it completely leaves out the fact that a moderate side of the political spectrum exists.
attempting to generalize political beliefs in one simple quote is a terrible idea.
^These.

Pics of ex or current girl?
I'm not going to share those. I remember when I shared pics of my firstborn and what happened then.
What happened then?
Inappropriate sharing and some jackass threatened to kill my kid. It's what originally drove me from Bungie
Ah Rose.
I got his nudes once.

"possibly" I don't think the Smash Ballot was just for keks. If Snake was added I would buy a Wii-U yesterday for it.
The other cool choice would be Goku.
yesss to Snake, although I don't know the likelihood of that since Kojima left and Sakurai did it for him. :/ As for Goku, Sean Schemmel voices Lucario FYI

I feel like this is the start of something very bad. If there was ever a legit time for Christians to go off on atheists, this is it.
There's a difference between an aethiest and an antithiest.
Obviously, but no one is going to care about the distinction in the grand scheme of things.
Because they're ignorant, and it wouldn't play into the 'victimization' narrative.
Except, we actually were victimized in this situation.
Too soon, and baiting is sin.

Wouldn't you have to show proof that people do say it?
uh uh... burden of proof works both ways? Liberals don't have to show proof.
