Because apparently plenty of people in your LS hate my living guts for no other reason than to hate me for making dark knight great again.

1.) that never happened.
2.) you're canadian
3.) and even for a csnadian, you're kind of annoying.
4.) I suspect you are also a manthra and nobody likes those

He has a point here, too.
Yeah, well, much like Nik, i don't give a ***who likes me.

I may not be at death's door yet, but I already yell at kids to get the *** off my lawn, and rant about things the way good ol' Abraham J. Simpson does.

Equality of opportunity however can exist and does exist here more than any other place on the planet.

Another faulty mindset.

"We're already the best, why try to be any better?"

So, only Black Lives Matter to you. Got it.

If you want to fight police brutality, then fight it. Sue the local governments for every instance of brutality. Make them hurt economically so they are forced to change. You know, force them to be responsible.

Instead, we have yet another affirmative action group that's trying to prop up that group above everyone else. Not really attacking the problem at hand, just make it so only they are above everyone else, and everyone else is considered second class. Which is creating a whole new set of problems. Because, you know, "equality"

Which they don't want. They may say they want it, but in reality, they don't.
The resistance towards equality is powered by the fear that majority groups will one day be subjected to the same treatment they've imposed on minority groups. Your post is a great example of that. You think in order for one group to rise up that another must be displaced downwards. "Equality is normalalized for those like me but 'special treatment' for anyone else."
Spoken like a true victim.

Equality of results, doesn't and never will exist. Equality of opportunity however can exist and does exist here more than any other place on the planet.
Says the guy who's against marriage equality. But at least we're better off than North Korea!

You already had the right to marry a woman just like everyone else.

I never had the right to marry a man, just like everyone else.

You fail to understand the meaning of the word "equal".

Nausi probably looks down on Donald Trump for not being authoritarian enough. Banning Muslims is only the start for Nausi.

Gays, atheists, poor people who don't service him directly, all of them have to go.

Nothing more authoritarian than a bunch of thugs outside on the streets of Chicago threatening violence if Trump is allowed to speak.

And you'll note I've said they're wrong too. Repression of speech -- even terrible speech -- doesn't help. You don't fix anything or educate anyone with repression.

I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again. These morons are only helping him win. I can't believe after all this time that people still don't see that this is the type of crap that causes Trump to thrive.

Yeah. Trump inciting people to violence and then playing innocent/the victim isn't really the solution either.

Nothing like making a mountain out of a molehill, or a martyr out of a small-minded buffoon (the violent Trump supporter, not Trump himself. He's more like a clever Orangutan.)

The protests have been by and large peaceful yet Trump continues to encourage his guys to be violent. Throwing people out of rallies because they look a certain way or railing on about the good old days when someone is escorted out.

He knows his audience well. And antagonizing people is how he gets protests to show up which feeds his narrative of being under siege which then feeds more and more violent standoffs.

This is all 'just as planned' for Trump. He coulda told his people back down but he wont because he needs them angry. He's been stoking violent people for months now.

A friend of mine who doesn't follow the elections asked me to explain the candidates if they were FFXI players. This is what I came up with:

Hillary: SCH who used to be a sackholder for an oldschool HNM LS. Still does endgame now, but is also big on soloing stuff. Questions on the legitimacy of her solos pop up since it looks like she's using third-party programs. She also made a mythic surprisingly fast for someone who doesn't craft or do Salvage.
Bernie: PUP who can tank Reisenjima T4 stuff when his friends ask for his help, but doesn't actually have an endgame LS. Has two social LSs full of casual players. Helps low level people walk to Jeuno, etc. Forever fighting the stigma of lolPUP. Doesn't use Windower.
Trump: BST who inherited an account full of crafting mules and ancient currency. Doesn't actually understand how crafting works and regularly makes things at a loss. Has made all relic weapons, despite only playing BST, and has only done trials on the axe anyway. His bazaar contains a lot of HQ garbage with his name signed on it. His favorite strategy is to use Unleash and Run Wild, letting his pets do all the fighting.
Cruz: RDM who only ever buffs himself, though maybe refreshes the WHM. Fond of subbing NIN as if he was tanking or something. Always uses his favorite enspell and melees with swords, but his accuracy is ***. Wears the RDM AF armor cuz he likes the traditional RDM look. His bazaar contains a bunch of 1 byne bills listed at the value of 100 byne bills. Lots on everything, and even got a Tartarus Platemail despite not being able to wear it.
Rubio: PLD with good gear, including Aegis and Ochain, but nevertheless gets his *** kicked against most stuff. The things that don't kill him, he's dead weight against and can't hold hate. Doesn't consider NIN or RUN tank jobs, and regularly rants about SE.
Kasich: MNK with sparks gear. Dude can't get a win anywhere, not even against Tojil (but he's really practiced with the Matamata by now). Seems nice enough but he's ultimately dead weight in just about any situation. All of his accessories are from the 75 or Abyssea eras.

And some others:

Jeb: DRK who had pretty much anything money can buy, but was still bad at his job. Quit due to having nobody to play with.
Carson: BRD who buffed and went AFK. Maxed out Lullaby merits.
Christie: WAR who got banned for pos hacking before finishing his Ukonvasara.
Fiorina: Never even hit 99 before quitting.
Romney: RNG who relies on shouts to do stuff. Doesn't have an endgame LS. Hates BST strategies. Made a relic gun just before the enmity changes and is still bitter about it.
Biden: BLM who's really great at the job, but logs in like maybe once a month cuz he has a family now or something.

America doesn't have sugar?
We have plenty of sugar.

But we also have high fructose corn syrup. It is a cheap and easy to produce sweetener and from a nutrition point of view practically identical to regular cane sugar.
Not from either a chemical nor metabolic standpoint though.

Quote:
The problem is all the *** hippies are convinced that it's not sugar that's the problem, it's HFCS replacing sugar. Not just that they shove too much *** sugar of any kind in their face and make their pancreas work like Chinese kid in a shoe shop.
Its the amount sugar and how it is ingested that is the problem. The sugar in an apple or a PB&J sandwich may be the exact same type as the sugar in a coke but you get a sugar rush and crash off the coke that you never will from an apple or a PB&J.

That wasn't how it went down though. The protesters were sitting inside quietly waiting to intrupt Trump. Who never showed.

Donald Trump’s Rally in Chicago Canceled After Violent Scuffles

Quote:
CHICAGO — With thousands of people already packed into stands and music blaring to warm up the crowd, Donald J. Trump’s campaign abruptly canceled his rally here on Friday night over security concerns as protesters clashed with his supporters inside an arena where he was to speak.

Ain't no tolerance like liberal tolerance. Protesters were inside to "violently" disrupt the event.
