Guest, do you think our goal, as a country, is to try to avoid conflict or hard feelings with other countries?

My point isn't that we should not vote for a 3rd party. My point is that the entire voting structure is rigged. Without Trump's presence in 2016 the Republican candidate would have been Jebb. A 3rd bush and a 2nd Clinton do NOT represent the two most qualified people our country has to offer.
.
A vote is a total mirage if the only two options are hand picked by the real people who truely run the country.

If we would elect a 3rd party candidate, the sitting powers-that-be would stop at nothing to get them removed. They would use their media to slander them. They would make false accusations and use they're intelligence branches as "investigation" weapons to imply guilt. It would look a lot like.... well Trump.
He's arrogant and a bad role model, but Trump is the closest thing to a 3rd party we've ever had. He's an outsider, and the insiders (including Republicans) have done everything in their power to get him out.

Guest is right in that congress wont issue a subpoena because they're bored. But they will clearly issue them for political purposes. Much to what famousone said above, there has been MASSIVE abuses of power in the last few years, and I'm not referring to the Trump administration. I'll bet some important heads are going to roll by the time this is all done. We'll have to wait and seen.

Thank you being such a shining example of open mindedness for all of those right wingers.

Politicians have been campaigning on 'acid rain', i mean ' climate change', I mean 'global warming' for decades. 10-year predictions of impending doom have been around since the beginning and they have not come true.

It's WAY more rhetoric than it is a plausible future.

Pregnancy is a very plausible outcome of of having sex. The mutual decision to have sex is where both partners enter into the risk. If the dude wants to avoid child support, his opportunity to do so was way back under the sheets (or portapotty, i dont judge).

Wow, this fundamental argument sounds familiar.......

Oh yah:

Why punish responsible gun owners with more gun laws? Why not increase the punishment for the the people who already break the current laws?

No. No. No. Today's kids have it harder! You know, how they are FORCED to pay back the loans that they sign. Or how hard it is to find a way to make money in these times of limited opportunity! Did you know that for the first time in history, companies aren't willing to hand out high salaries for young people who haven't mastered skills or who don't yet know enough to bring high value to the team! First time ever (apparently)

Ok, send the hate my way...

We know :)

Unfortunately it still is legal, depending on the country.

Fighting for recognition is hardly exclusive to women.

Lol

I prefer to avoid spider bites regardless of the spider's intentions.

Courage clearly means different things to you and I.
I think our disagreement boils down to the value of a spider. You're value for them is clearly very high, and I respect that. My value for an individual spider or two is low enough that I'm not going to chase one around my home in hopes to catch it and release it. I'm just going to squish it and move on with my day.
.
And 'no' to the irony. I like princesses. I don't particularly care for Disney. The two are not synonymous.
.
I also reject your claim that there are zero spider bites that were not in self defense. Any person bit by a spider in their sleep would be one example to disprove it.

Shoo it away to where? Under my bed? Behind the sofa?
.
So if i go outside and stick my finger in the web of a brown recluse and it bites me, it's my fault because i disturbed it's home.
.
But if a brown recluse comes into my home and jumps on my eyeball while i'm browsing FS, it's my fault if I kill it?
.
What % of spider killings do you suspect have been killed out of pleasure? I submit that most of them have been killed while the person was in a state of fear.
.
I think people need to separate reality from Disney.

Thank you!
7.5B people. We WILL have cultural differences! If people continue to confuse cultural differences with racism we are eventually going to act like GOT.

So every time a spider, or animal in general, attacks its in defense?

All animals..... but not including humans?
