Isn't every election "The Election That Could Break America" according to both sides? When was the the last time that there was just a casual good-time election? Was there ever such a thing? Opposite of the truth. Ive been voting since 1972, and was aware of news coverage of elections bef...

No. I find partisan politics in this country repugnant and I have no desire to be a part of it. Furthermore, I've never heard a compelling argument for how my individual vote will effect the outcome of the election. When I ask, the response is always some appeal to emotion/guilt trip, like "sol...

....That being said,in history whenever a people were against there government they have been able to overthrow it. Personally, I've never seen anyone use that quote to advocate overthrowing the government. They want to maintain the current system, they just want to win the next election. Damn, the...

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." People sure like to repeat this phrase and its variants all over the place, especially during an election year (here in the U.S.). Here's how it reads to me: "So guess what? All the atrocities in history...

This thread is a couple months old, but this is on the same topic. My mother is an extremely kind, understanding and helpful person. She's also very good with technology and can usually handle everything by herself. However, for some reason, when I have a day off, she suddenly becomes helpless while...

...Example: Are you peddling homophobia? Then you should face social consequences. Because queer people cannot be asked to respect that position. People who care about queer people cannot respect that position... I agree with this idea. I have no patience with those who try to claim that lbgtq peop...

"Conservative" is a broad term. But considering that it's one of the two major popular options and millions of people openly consider their opinions to be conservative, no, I don't think it's "almost illegal" to have them.

...How does something being a juvenile comedy stop it from romanticizing over policing? Perhaps not in the way for kids, but the movie Team America can easily be called a juvenile comedy and is filled with political statements. Ace Ventura is a juvenile comedy and has a heap of unacceptable element...

...So even if I had actually voted for him, it would not have helped him in any significant way. Yet this argument claims that by NOT voting for either side, I helped him win? Not voting also helped him win because we have electoral votes. Half of the US citizens didn't vote. Clinton had more votes...

Maybe there's fallacy of the form ... "you're either X or not X". This thinking is echoed in the George Bush line and then Lucas was accused of mimicking it in Star Wars .... Similar to this, whenever I see these arguments, I always think of Gaston in "Beauty and the Beast" cryi...

If you vote 3rd party, you are helping someone win. That was how Trump won. They go with electoral votes so people that don't vote for either party and go for third, one of the upcoming presidents' gets a point... I can't speak for third-party voters, but here's my take as a non-voter: I could have...

A facebook friend just posted a meme stating that people who don't vote for the candidate she likes, including people who don't vote at all, are actually voting for the candidate she doesn't like. This seems to be a commonplace argument these days. She even commented on it, “It's the truth!” So how ...

^ Yes, I feel better talking about this as well. I'm not sure if it comes across, but I was much more agitated when I wrote the OP than I was when I wrote the later replies. In my online art communities, I've run across some visual artists who collaborate, but I'm not sure exactly how they do it. Th...

As far as the builder saying "I don't want to worry you," is he possibly just trying to cover all his bases? Maybe he wants to tell you in case it turns out to be something, but he also wants to be covered in case it turns out to be nothing?
