    Serious Political Correctness and Race

    Why are people blaming Putin for everything? Voter ID laws may have not been enough to change to course of the election (and RT's propaganda likely did not convert the left into sitting out or encourage apathetic conservatives to vote for Trump). Voter ID laws affected voting decisions and...

    The Everything NFL Thread - 2016-17 Season

    Kaepernick did not falter in the playoffs in his first season as a starter. I don't think Dak would choke. And Colin won in the Divisonal round against the Packers. Go Cowboys. David Irving is my favorite player. I hope he sacks Rodgers at least two times and forces a fumble.

    Well, that's true. But the Giants' offense total collapsed after that touchdown.

    Pokémon Celesteela

    Skarmory doesn't have Leech Seed. and they both play very differently for walls. Leech Seeders deplete the opponent's HP by stalling with Protect or firing Leech Seed at predicted switches. The health recovered from Leech Seed is used to withstand more attacks, depleting more HP to bring the...

    Serious Political Correctness and Race

    I do not see this even in the center-right. An authoritarian impulse is a heightened fear of the outgroup. American conservatives tend to be fearful of immigrants and Muslims. Social conservatives want certain activities to be prohibited such as the procurement of abortion. Conservatives tends...

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    I found the website "Russia without BS". He does say certain things, and he is critical of the Russian annexation of Crimea and speaks of "Russian imperialism" (as it is hard to deny it exists). However, he does not use "Russian imperialism" merely to deflect things away from the Western...

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    There were armed men who seized government buildings and "activists" attacking riot police! There were threats that if Yanukovych didn't resign they would seize power violently. Many rioters trained with Chechen militants (33:55 from the OP video) and someone was firing armor piercing bullets at...

    Dak Prescott should be an MVP then, although it is diluted by Elliot. The same Cowboys with other QBs such as Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel had essentially the same offensive line but went 4-12. WB edit: please keep irrelevant inflammatory information out of your posts, especially if nobody...

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    It definitely is biased. But footage of the violence on the Maidan and direct interviews of the people of Crimea support the views that the Maidan was a violent coup led by extremists and the people of Crimea wanted to join Russia. In the case of the latter, the reunification of Crimea with...

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    Codraroll stated that Putin should be put away in the Hague for life. I focused on that. Even if I (inadequately) addressed his criticism on the referendum, it would still ludicrous to suggest that Putin should be put away for life for the reunification of Crimea with Russia. As he said, there...

    Where would the Cowboys be without Zeke (and David Irving)? Does Zeke make Dak's job easier by putting defenses off balance.

    What do people think about Aaron Hernandez? Appropriate music.

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    Russia has its own interests, and this affects their decision not to support an investigation. I do not know what exactly their position is on MH17 is since I do not read or listen to RT that much. It seems the most reasonable explanation (requiring the fewest extraordinary assumptions) is that...

    I don't have ESPN. So what did the Holocaust denier David Irving do in that game?

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    I qualified my remark about there being no Russian aggression. I never talk about the MH17. Some pro-Russians say that it was a false flag operation. It is more reasonable to say it was misidentification. The Ukrainians were also hesitant in investigating the Maidan snipers and the 2014 Odessa...

    Announcement np: SM OU Suspect Process, Round 1 - Digital Love - Genesect is now banned

    It is an empirical question whether there is more or less Pokemon that are threatened by Scarf Genesect in this gen. Even if Genesect threatens a Pokemon, it is not as obvious as clicking the appropriate coverage move since your opponent could switch into something that could take that coverage...

    Announcement np: SM OU Suspect Process, Round 1 - Digital Love - Genesect is now banned

    The standard reply to that is that Genesect does about two times as much damage with U-Turn since it has STAB and a potential Download boost. Also Genesect's movepool threatens more things, so a conservative player would switch something out, allowing the Genesect user to gain momentum. The...

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    Putin in the Hague. That is an exaggeration. I think Victoria Nuland and Hillary Clinton deserve it more, or other US Presidents such as Reagan. There is no such thing as "Russian aggression", especially if things such as the invasion of Grenada and Iraq and the attack on Libya do not register...

    Your opinion on Ukraine

    I don't think it is entirely economic. Russian military planners are also threatened at the prospect of a missile defense system that could potentially engage warheads. Although engaging doesn't mean being able to intercept them, especially with all the countermeasures being deployed, but it...
