So, believing that you're of a different gender is normal, but believing that illuminati controlled aliens are out to get you is a mental disorder. How are these two things different?
Talk to a psychiatrist and ask them. What's next? Telling gay people they have a mental disorder too? :rolleyes:

Homosexuality is a genetic mutation that's actually found in many other species. Believing that you're of a different gender is a mental issue just like bulimia where people who weigh 90lbs thinking they're fat when looking in the mirror.
 
Nice try...but the fact is that conservatives simply know that New York and California are not as important as they like to think they are.
Riiiight....that's why we have the biggest cities and populations in those states..not important at all. :rolleyes:

Your argument falls flat on it's face because many people used to think gay people were gay as a result of mental illness. Some still do. So your argument is merely a recycling of well worn territory. How can you be so sure that transgender is not genetic as well?

They are nothing more than massive concentrations of people destroying the environment with their growth all the while complaining about destruction of the environment. It's truly hilarious to watch the infinite flow of stupidity and hypocracy from big cities. You deserve eachother and all you have coming with your self importance.

Well, for one there's no proof to that effect, but I'm certainly open to changing my mind if such evidence ever comes to light.
 
That's basically saying that the folks in NY and California are smarter
I'm saying the blue states are statistically better educated, more populous, and more economically productive. I'm also saying that after GWB and Trump, people in the blue states are starting to wonder about this whole electoral college thing, which systematically devalues their votes. I mean, it went fine back in the days before the red states started electing *****-grabbing, tax-dodging liars. But today? The system is starting to look a bit rotten.

The electoral college protected the world from Hillary. Corrupt and power hungry politicians like her have no place in the White House. You should be grateful for captain ***** grabber. He spared us from what our forefathers warned us about.
 
Build great products. Shut up. Stay out of it. This goes for all causes, liberal or conservative. As a corporation, there is no reason to alienate potential buyers on either side of the aisle.

On the flip side gain loyal buyers who are LGBTQ, and friends of those, and others who are all about Equal Rights.

50 years ago blacks where suppressed and even killed on whim for being black.
Now look.
Best be on the HUMAN side of world.

My county is hot steel red in a very red state, yet overwhelming voted for Clinton (all other potions where Rep).

Smart people voted for Clinton.
Desperate people voted for Trump.

No, I never said those states weren't important at all. I was simply saying their arrogance makes them think they are more important than everyone else. Seems that pesky equality and inclusion thing goes out the window when liberals don't get their way. They turn into a bunch of whiny, childish snowflakes. Right now the REAL liberals are on display for all to see. Good luck winning any future elections.

What a joke. When can we expect you to start the campaign against Trump then, since he is corrupt and power hungry?

You should be grateful for captain ***** grabber. He spared us from what our forefathers warned us about.
Actually, he was precisely the kind of person that the forefathers warned about: A man with compromise issues.

No, fed up people voted for Trump. Hillary is a crook.

Oh the irony. Do you not know the crooked things Trump has done? Do you really have no awareness of them?

Oh, you mean the one where he was taking LEGAL tax deductions on a business where he was losing money? Is that for some reason been a crook? Oh wait, the media paints it that way so it must be true. At least he didn't miss handled classified information. Oh wait, people don't go to jail for that anymore. Well, not Hillary Clinton anyway.
 
You just explained why we have the electoral college and why it's here to stay.

If you had studied political history you would know why we have the Electoral College and it has nothing to do with the numbers I gave.

We have the Electoral College because the Founding Fathers thought the majority of the populace was too stupid to make an informed choice, that they would be swayed by nice looks and pretty words. The Electoral College was meant to be a way for the educated folks voted as Electors to override stupid votes. We still have it because no one in a position of power has had the desire or the nerve to try to get rid of it.

People can't even name their local reps. What's that about an informed choice?

Repeated election of idiots like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi tells us that not much has changed.

53% of Republicans in my district voted for Clinton.

Ok, not all Republicans, but this is Tom Delay's district, Redest of Red, and they voted for Clinton.

Smart people don't vote for corrupt politicians who abuse the system.

Then why did most of the incumbents get voted back into office?

No, I mean the things that you didn't mention. A fraudulent "university", self dealing charity money to pay off legal bills and buy paintings of himself, violating the Cuban embargo. Crooked things like that.

California: 54 delegates.
NH + MA combined: 15 delegates.

I'm laughing over here... and I'm in a state with only 4 votes.

Why should people have their individual vote count less because they happen to live in a heavily populated state?
If more Americans are in California, California should get a larger number of votes. The electoral college is an unnecessary layer of abstraction between the voters and the election. There would be no need to adjust the disbursement in delegate votes from population shifts if the voters were just speaking directly.

So, let me get this straight, your laughing because ... let's see any number of the following reasons?

(1) You don't know the historical reasons why the Founding Fathers set up the Electoral College [The "Why?"]

"Why should people have their individual vote count less because they happen to live in a heavily populated state?" Did you not take a basic "civics", American History, or World History class? I had at least 5 questions on this in the 8th grade and several essay questions in high school on this very matter.

(2) It's painfully obvious that you don't know how the Electoral College works. [The "How?"]

(3) You don't understand context. I used those states as simply examples with the understanding that anyone in the conversation would understand how the US's Republic works. [The "What?"]

With such a poor basic understanding and even poorer reading comprehension, it's no wonder that you find these concepts so humorous. \:-/

So you want this person using the men's room then? Really?

Irrelevant as that was not my point. My point still stands, the majority of people did not want Trump, thus the statement that "Americans wanted Trump" or anything similar is bogus and an "alternative fact" put forth by Trump supporters who cannot accept the fact that they elected an unpopular president elected by a minority of people. I get hat they want their guy to be popular and to have craft the narrative that everyone wanted him, but that's inaccurate at best.


How can you say 50% of eligible voters didn't vote is irrelevant" then turn around and say in the same post, "... the majority of people did not want Trump ..."? This is why no one takes these kinds of hyperbolic posts seriously.

For the record, when I voted, I neither voted for Trump or Hillary. I'm simply tired of the blatantly anti Trump and/or pro Hillary supporters using catch phrases and illogic to push their weak agenda. There's a reason Trump won and it's because of the "feelings" crowd and the "feelings" messages without any substance.

No, I believe I pointed that out very recently.

I had at least 5 questions on this in the 8th grade and several essay questions in high school on this very matter.

So... All men are created equal -- but some are more equal than others? :x

I'm laughing at the idea the electoral college is supposed to prevent California from throwing its weight around, and the result is California having more than three times the electoral college votes of those two states you mentioned combined.

Maybe you picked poor examples for your argument?

All of the things going on in our country and your main concern is the refresh cycle of the Mac Pro?

In this moment they're being exactly the company I want them to be.

Some hard working people make a living working with a Mac and paying $5k for a Mac that is 4 years old, overpriced and slow, is not good.

Don't tell people what is good for them and what their concerns have to be.

What do people have to do according to you ? Stop working and watch snowflakes destroying properties while protesting bathrooms laws ?
