Because after every debate… or any milestone in the campaign… the next day i have to listen to the hordes of right wingers I know go BALLISTIC and spout out one asinine thing after another that makes absolutely no sense to me and sounds like groupthink and scares the bajeezus out of me… so i need to have my arguments prepared. Sharpen my knives if you will. To turn around and snap, “he said 32% not 79% you lying bastard!!” Regardless of age, people are as impressionable as children. If they hear this garbage and there is no one there to refute it, then that’s not good in my opinion.

So – yeah, i need to be savvy on the latest debate to have my arguments in place. OH! And, okay, my immediate family is hardcore republican. I’m talking like… they wish W Bush was president for all eternity. I pretty much strutted out of the womb as a liberal/leftist piece of garbage in their eyes. So we get into constant screaming matches and the ONE intelligent thing they have to pull on me is to say, “Tell me where you get your info. Did you watch this that one night? Did you watch the debates? The conventions?” On and on. If I didn’t, I lose all credibility to them. I gotta fight the power. The powers that be.

F balls. I was looking forward to a Puppy-controlled Apocalypse. These guys have to ruin everything.

I agree – I think that they think their ideas are in the best interest of everyone… but we are too stupid and weak and co-dependent to embrace them right now. Like we are crack addicts or something and they need to make a story up to get us to the rehabilitation, and once we are in there, trapped, they’ll let us know what our new lives are going to be like. What’s “best” for us.

Just realized that my rant doesn’t seem related to the thread lol – but Ryan’s inability to provide details on his policies reminded me of all the little slogans he was using to say basically, regardless of the details, him and Romney most definitely, no doubt, he’d bet his millions of children on it, will complete the task and get XX results immediately (that’s Dems too though). And I overheard him say after the debate to his wife that yes, the Republican ticket plans to provide Robot Bulters for everyone very soon. Well, cyborg robot butlers created from junk yard scraps and poor people parts.

I thought it was very good, actually on an entertaining level… and terrifying level. When they were both asked about religion and abortion, and Paul Ryan gave his answer, I seriously felt my heart race and my skin crawl. Like – this guys and his ass backward viewpoints are simply terrifying. I mean, I’m SURE half of the kids that jumped up on stage after the debate were adopted, because if they weren’t he’d be a complete hypocrite… so for sure, 80% of them are adopted but really? Can this guy honestly say that Obama is attacking religious freedoms when this guy, if he had his own choice, would force his religious viewpoint on an entire gender, illegallizing abortions completely? Aaaaaaahhhh! I don’t want to start any S on this forum but it really really really infinity “reallys” bugged me and scared me.

I give this infinity upvotes.

Although I agree with the general consensus that what Don did for Lane was definitely called for and very generous of him (not ratting him out but giving him the opportunity to resign quietly)… me hating Don kind of changed that scene for me (hate in the sense that I find his character endlessly interesting and frustrating and different etc). Like… really Donnie? YOU are going to chastise someone about breaking the rules? About trust? About a lot of things (I realize that this is obviously part of the Weiner design lol – but definitely made me dislike Don just a little more). Don isn’t Don Draper. He’s lied to everyone. Used another man’s identity for years. I’m not a lawyer but I’m a guessin’ that’s breaking a few laws to an employer. And when Pete told Bert about his identity, Bert was like “whatever – does this have anything to do w/ contributing nothing to anyone and not wearing shoes? No? Okay get outta my face.” Bert threw him a bone. Couldn’t he throw Lane one? Doesn’t he owe the universe that much? Not to say I didn’t like his reaction – I loved it, because it was so incredibly hypocritical and crappy of him. But took it a different way I guess.

If they make ALF into a movie, I hope they take a very modern, dark, cynical direction. Maybe Christopher Nolan can pick that baby up. Give ALF some more depth… a fur cut perhaps… add some much needed sophistication. Explore his past a bit more. WHY does he love to murder and eat cats so much? He’s not a part of his alien world any longer. There are other things to eat. But ALF doesn’t care…

Because the Tanners were murdered by the CIA to remove the only obstacle between them and him. But now he thirsts for more than cat flesh. He thirsts for vengence.

This wins. I say it now and I will stand my ground. This wins.

Holy crap I can’t believe that this kid is all grown up… time sure flies. I like the Blade Runner/Jerry Mcguire mix to his message too. Those two movies should have combined forever ago.

I hope you call them the full names when you are calling after them. That’s. Awesome. I had a stray cat outside my apartment complex in college that I called “Daenerys Targaryen Stormborn Dragon Mother” – Dragmo as a nickname. I know. I’m pathetic. But it amused me to no end.

Is there a reason they are doing this outside just wanting money and prolonging the inevitable? I mean, can’t they be a little less obvious about it?

I think this was the episode where I started to hate Bates. That might be unbelievable to some cuz he’s all sweet and virtuous to a fault n’ stuff. Just seems like he’s that dude your friend dates and is super in love with that constantly has all these issues… your friend has to battle for his affection, then gets it only to find out that he’s got a crazy ex-beast that wants to destroy him, and then he abandons your friend to appease ex-beast, then your friend convinces him to come back, and then ex-beast is after him again, on and on. And your friend is telling you all this over some half off appetizers and margaritas at Applebees and your like, “Giiiirl you need to run from this man. This is no good.”
