Quote: Everything you know may just be part of a Matrix-style simulation, according to physicists who claim that we could all be part of a giant GAME.
A new theory has suggested that our entire lives and memories may not be real, instead being part of a computer programme played by advanced robots.
The so-called ‘simulation argument’ has been theorised for several years, with noted academics including Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom, suggesting that the plot of The Matrix could be closer to real life than we think
In the sci-fi classic, humans are bred in vats that are fed with simulations that make them believe they are living an ordinary life.
Scientists say that we could all be living in the future, and our life in 2015 is nothing more than a series of numbers in a computer programme.
It may sound like science fiction but scientists believe they may actually be able to PROVE that what you know isn’t what you know.

So Keanu Reeves is my father ?

Bring on the marshal law.
Quote: A sheriff in Mississippi says authorities are searching for two men who fired gunshots from a vehicle at soldiers at a military facility. No injuries were reported.
Perry County Sheriff Jimmy Dale Smith tells WDAM-TV (http://bit.ly/1UlrHi6) that the shots were fired just after noon Tuesday. The soldiers were training at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center in Hattiesburg.
U.S. Special Forces Command designated Camp Shelby as one of the sites where a multi-state military training exercise, "Jade Helm 15", was expected to take place, according to The Army Times.
About 4,600 soldiers are participating in the training exercise, which is scheduled to continue through mid-August.
A vehicle matching the description of the two suspects' truck was found near New Augusta off Old Augusta Road, according to WDAM. The suspects were driving a red Ford Ranger with the words "broken arrow" on the windshield.

Good. Maybe they'll make my employer pay me to stay indoors and play games.

The greatest political back stab, straight out of Game of Thrones is coming soon, when Obama and his team backs Biden for President. Oh all the perjury, destroying subpoenaed evidence, an FBI investigation starting, she bloodied her hands for Obama. oops.
"Play nice. Bow out graciously and we will make you Secretary of State. Then in 2016 The Presidency is yours and we are all with you."
I can already hear "Rains of Castamere" starting to play in the background. Biden, the new Warden of the North.

Biden is essentially a non-starter. Maybe I'm reading my political winds wrong -- it wouldn't be the first time, I'm not well-versed in the classic arts of being a paid puppet/mouthpiece for corporations -- but I have a feeling that the only Democrat with a chance of getting elected is Sanders, and he either takes it all or whatever GOP candidate comes out of their pool wins the general election.
I don't see America going middle-ground this election cycle, for better or worse. Hillary might get some first-woman-president votes to make it a fight if she gets the Democratic nod, but I don't see the swing vote going her way, and I just can't see Biden even getting the nod.

I saw that. Haven't seen where it comes from, but since I'm the only active RUN in my ls, it's mine if it drops, and that makes me happy.

I make jokes about Biden a lot because he has no filter and creates some awkward unscripted moments.
He is no lightweight though and I wouldn't underestimate him. He would destroy Hillary if he had the opportunity to debate. He can sell the Democrat fake sympathy for everyone but middle class white men better than she can.

Why don't we just make it all easier on ourselves and elect Bill Pullman as president.

Maybe that's why I don't like him that much. And I really dislike Hillary. And why I prefer Sanders win or lose.
I like the actual Democrat/socialist structures, not the twisted-to-accommodate-the-electorate version mainstream Dems are selling that just seems to *** things up more and more.

I like that it is out in the open now. I remember all the fake outrage, all the people pretending to be offended in 2008 when it was suggested that Obama might be socialist. At least now the Democrats will openly admit that they are the Socialist party.
The lies that the Republican party has moved too far to the right. The Republican party is as left now as the Democrats of the 90's. The truth is everything looks far right when the Democrat party is as left as left can be.

That's normal...in 20 years what is liberal now will be a conservative stance and progress will have pushed the left party onto something new.

Then we will use the strategy taught to us by the great Randy Quaid: drunken kamikaze attacks.

Randy Quaid probably is a Republican candidate for President. I mean we have what 15 already ?

Socialism isn't progress. It has been tried many times before. It always ends the same.

The vast majority of both parties are just establishment puppets. Sanders isn't even a Democrat, but he's way left of Obama.
America loves socialism, though, they just don't want to have to pay for it.

Clearly we need to bring back the Whig party ! Also the Bull Moose party.

I suppose communism and socialism are the same thing, eh? And all the socialist policies we already have and would never surrender?

Which is good, because it seems like a majority of Americans that love socialism don't have a clue what the word "free" means.

No, they value their money plenty. It's other people's money they don't value. You know, the ones who have to work for it.

What could possibly be more important than money ? Love ?

Americans are too lazy for Communism. The modern socialist in America doesn't want to actually work hard, they just want to be wealthy.

Too lazy for Communism... let me think about that.
That's a new perspective.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
