You can't really tell when a gay character was forced by the production or if the author just liked the idea of having one there. The discussion is moot in either direction.

We really deserve to be punished for making you go through that huh?

Just imagine how bad the one legged wheelchair bound black transgender lesbian feels. She feels so lonely watching all those able bodied non-transgender people on TV.

Yeah victim Olympics in full swing.

Pretty much, I mean I didn't really identify with any of the 5 power rangers either, but that doesn't count I guess because I'm white and not an approved special victim class.

Now imagine how isolating it can feel when 100% of the characters in shows you grew up watching were straight.

Not a reason we can't keep it going today, there are updates you know. Plus I'm fairly sure we can roll it into a good ol freedom of speech argument in maybe a dozen posts.

They're looking through security tapes to find the vandals. Feelings have been hurt!

This place costs 63k a year to go to. Why would anyone send their kids to a place that condones being afraid of "chalk", let alone pay 63k a year for it?

here is one example.
we're killing suspected terrorists without trials.
but they killed first so it's ok? <they drew first blood not me rambo speech>

either taking the life of another human being is wrong 100% of the time or 0%

once we start making exceptions is when we run into these kinds of problems.

if you are raised to believe that killing people is in some instances justifiable, then you've opened up a pandora's box of horrific possibilities.

I was partial to Voltron. I seriously remember when the first episode of MMPR aired and I went, "...Voltron already did this?"

Don't be fooled. Nik can get very philosophical.

We could always talk about how anti trump supporters are tearing down this Mexican-immigrant business owner for going to his rally.

Or does that not really fit the narrative of "Trump is a racist" well enough to be discussed?

Thats....not countering Rua's point....

It is not ignorant to state a fact. Islam does have a serious problem with violence, to stay otherwise is making it seem like one is blinded by the PC wool being pulled over their eyes. Christians do not currently have a religious death-cult rampaging across the Middle East and killing innocents in Europe all in the name of jihad. As macabre as it sounds you simply cannot compare the acts of Christian militants in the US (planned parenthood, etc) with the insane ***ISIS is getting up to.

Don't worry, the liberal/democrats will defend these actions to the core.

Like how somebody on this website tried to justify giving rabbits Swedish massages is a justifiable grant worthy of almost a million dollars. Because, according to that poster, it helps human health.....

I thought that was Trump.

Isn't he supposed to be on of the top 10 threats to the world now?

Why is that the case? Is it because the anti-Trump protesters are so violent that they threaten to destroy human society if Trump wins? Are they now considered worse than ISIS?

At least with ISIS you can stop them from getting here by keeping out all the refugees. With Trump supporters, it's like in bad horror movies when they're like, the call is coming from inside the house...!!



Being serious for a moment, I'm genuinely intrigued about what will happen when(/if?) Trump loses, either in a brokered convention or the general. These people have megaphones now, and they're not going to just give those up.

1. vandalism would be such regardless of what was written

2. you've already seen plenty of liberal posters here claiming that suppressing Trump's fans is not the way to go; using the actions of a few idiots or immature people who do so does not justify blanket statements about the rest

There will be protests but I doubt anything will come of them.

I highly doubt Trump will lose.

RNC has really no choice but to make Trump the nominee. There is too much support for him, and he will most likely win the required delegates to go to the general election.

If, and only if, Clinton manages to stay in the general election because no charges have been filed against her, all Trump really has to do is paint her as Obama 2.0. People really are tired of the same old *** we have been dealing with for the past 7 and a half years. It will be like 2008 all over again, where a very unpopular president pretty much gives the election to whoever the nominee for the opposing side is.

I kinda get the feeling the GOP will give the nomination to someone else. Looking like Paul Ryan is being considered.

If Trump doesn't get the nomination because of the party depending on how strongly those supporters feel about him they might even boycott the republican chosen candidate out of principle. Obviously not everyone would do that, but a chunk might.

The best thing for the GOP would be to just give the nomination to whoever wins it or comes closest, less backlash towards them. This election could quite possibly be a dramatic turning point for the GOP.

EDIT: They've been protesting Obama for 8 years, nothing new.
