It wont really make any difference, I agree. It was just interesting to me.
I dont think Trump has a chance in a national election either way.
The Indians you both know are morons. Pretty much noone I know thinks like that (vote against muslims), and I live in India.
India is a big place.
They are right actually. Many idiots like that in India as well.
The trouble with Indians is they all generalise too much.
Morons exist in both big and small places.
I personally don't know any. I'm sure there are idiots here too, just like the ones they know.
There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
There were several reports that there was one officer and two off duty that were both armed. And why is someone not doing their job because they got feckin shot? Its a bit difficult if he just walks in shooting. And he also had a handgun, maybe he gained entry using that. Why is it always someone else's fault? It's moronic that anyone else, especially someone(s) who lost their lives trying to defend others in such a tragedy. Personally I should think you would be ashamed of such a comment, that's a pretty awful thing you just wrote.
No we have hundreds of pages here where all aspects of politics have been discussed, you just don't post (or very rarely do) when those discussions are going on, and for whatever reason usually only pop in when guns are being mentioned. So why don't we get back on topic here, are you still supporting Trump like you were before? Did you vote for him? And will you continue to do so if he continues to be the Republican nomination? And if so, why?
Who are you talking to?
This isn't the sort of thing that posters should be putting in here and speculating on. Be careful what you say about it.
@barros, I presume you must have him on ignore if you're asking me that.
Oh yeah, I was getting tired of his nonsense some months ago. Carry on.

Must be the most successful suicidal presidential bid ever. He'd make profit even if he fails spectacularly in the elections!

Yet again proving he is only in it for himself. This also adds serious weight to the rumours that he is not actually very well off at all. CNN were questioning his status as a billionaire again the other night with an ex FORBES employee ripping Trump about his finances.
Being a 'billionaire' means very little if your assets are heavily leveraged. He even had troubles coughing up the $1m for charity.
Donald Trump: 'There's Nothing Out There' About Clinton's Religion
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/201...e-s-nothing-out-there-about-clinton-s-n596541
Strange tactic from someone who claims to be Christian but can't quote the Bible correctly and says he's got no reason to ask forgiveness from God for anything.

Religion plays a fecked up role in US politics, especially when the much loved (when it helps) constitution demands separation of the two.
See this is something that amazes me. Religion is so strong and powerful in the states, it's almost backwards really. If you look at the USA as a giant contradiction, it leads the West and the rest of the world in many things but the amount of gun crime and the way religion still controls so much makes the USA more like a Middle Eastern country. It's truly bizarre.
Here in the UK politicians rarely ever mention religion, they certainly wouldn't dream of using it as a vote gathering tactic because it's simply not relevant to most people. It's the same in many countries in Europe. People just don't give a shit about it, and it's more about the person being elected, their personality and what their beliefs are, but not religious ones. Although we vote on a regional basis it's usually the party that people are voting for, and it's what they will do for the economy, for education the NHS and transport or where they stand on crime and climate change etc. Even in the most religious voter it matters little about the religion or beliefs of who they are voting for. Obviously there are some exceptions, but it's really not a big deal at all, yet in the USA it will often decide who is elected or not, and it definitely is essential to many voters.
I think possibly it's because things like abortion aren't in question here anymore. It's such an issue in the USA.
EDIT! Just seen your post @Rado_N
Perfect timing, was thinking the same thing (obviously)@Rado_N @langster
The relationship this country has with Christianity is puzzling indeed.
They'll live like heathens Monday to Saturday, but act like saints in church on Sunday. They complain that there is a war on Christianity in this country, but then promote ideas that ostracize other religions in America through the justification that "America was founded as a Christian nation". They reject separation of church and state as an actual constitutional idea despite the 1st amendment since the actual phrase comes from Thomas Jefferson.
Us being founded by religious zealots and dissenters, separation of church and state, the "great awakenings" throughout our history, the evangelical movement. They've all profoundly affected political campaigns.
It is amazing, really... because the great contradiction of it all is that our politics are more religious than our actual society. They will condemn others who have a different god or no god at all, but when pressed on their beliefs they will generally having little knowledge of the Bible itself. They will use their religion to condemn things like gay marriage and abortion, not only as personal choice, but will argue that government policy should reflect their views, then get redfaced and angry when you ask them if they'd support the same system if Muslims were the majority religion in America. All the while, if you saw them Monday through Saturday, chances are you'd have no clue they were religious at all. It is frustrating and confusing for me too, if you can't tell.

I avoid posting on social media save a bite here or there. But I have a tremendous memory and know which persons to feck with later on, or avoid as I usually do not have the patience nor time to deal with asshats.
Yeah, certainly do. I remember seeing a documentary years ago called "Gods New Army" It scared the shit out of me. It was all about exceedingly rich and powerful right wing Christians and Evangelicals that set up a school, college and University especially for their kids. The kids were all brought up with the sole intention of them becoming powerful and all taking up (infiltrating if you will) high powered and important positions in the USA. Lawyers, Judges, and Politicians, all with the final goal of enforcing their rules and religious doctrine on the rest of the population. I seriously recommend it, and I think i'm going to try and find it again myself.

I remember people were flabbergasted that John Kerry had millions left over from his campaign.

Look up Jesus Camp. You won't make it 10 minutes in without getting angry.
In other US political news, Steve King (R-Iowa, old, white) has proposed an amendment to ban the use of funds to redesign US currency not too long after ******* Tubman was selected to replaced Andrew Jackson. I fully wager if Saint Reagan was selected (ignore how comical that would be) that King wouldn't be proposing such.
Isn't it ironic (or sad) that the Party of Lincoln is having a hard time accepting a runaway slave on a piece of currency?
Pandering to their white base I presume.
Thank you Barry Goldwater!
#TrumpSoPoor
Yeah, I've seen that as well, that was just batshit insane, I spent most of the time watching that laughing because they are completely mad. I felt sorry for the kids though. Gods new army was far more disturbing and sinister because their endgame wasn't just getting people to believe in god and live a holy life, it was for complete and utter control over EVERYONE'S lives. They want to remove everyone's freedoms and make everyone live by their laws and how they interpret the bible.
#TrumpSoPoor
Haha! It's trending worldwide now.
Yeah, I recommend it. I remember them talking to people they expelled as well. Definite brain washing with the ultimate goal of controlling the country from the very top down. Their aim was to get someone elected as President and have many judges and lawyers and Congressmen and Senators all at the same time. Scary as feck. Some of the laws they wanted implemented were obviously things like making Gay Marriage and abortion illegal, but also things like making teaching evolution illegal in schools etc. Proper menthol!

Here you go, Sorry was called God's Next Army, not new Army.
Above is the description of the college that's profiled in the documentary. There are a couple of colleges in South Carolina like that... one of which recently had its president get in trouble for apparently having an affair with his secretary.Gods New Army said:
The hashtags are funny and all, but it's a shame that the national campaign has been reduced to that level. Mostly Trump's fault mind, but still. I'm so annoyed that I have to choose between hell and purgatory.
You eventually make it out of purgatory, fwiw.
