  1. I would have no issues with a child Anakin if they'd made Obi-Wan the main character for the three movies, and had had a great child actor who could portray latent evil/violence.
  2. It's a distinction without difference. The South wanted to keep slavery, and they fought the North so that they could keep it forever.
  3. http://www.reuters.com//article/_next/static/images/favicon-196x196-052cc719f1ac872e3544e51801338b46.png Exclusive: Drugmakers offer Canada C$1 billion to scrap some pending pricing rules | Reuters WWW.REUTERS.COM The pharmaceutical industry has made a last-ditch C$1 billion ($761 million) proposal to the Canadian government in hopes of fending off parts of a drug pricing crackdown set to go into effect on Jan. 1, according to industry documents reviewed by Reuters. Canada bases its drug prices (when buying in bulk) off of international sales, but has decided to drop the US and Swiss prices from this calculation after determining that those countries pay too much. Drug companies aren't happy with this, and are openly offering a bribe to the Canadian government to scrap the change, in the form of money to local manufacturing the research. lol.
  4. Who the fuck cares of the conquered South feels angry if statues come down. Tear them the fuck down and educate the kids in schools about how big a loser the Confederacy was, and how evil the cause was that it fought for. Statues are for edification, not education (as said before). Plaques don't do shit, because most people will never read them. Imagine putting up a statue of Bin Laden at the WTC memorial that is 50 feet tall, and then just having a statue at the bottom that says "This guy killed people, he is bad." Fuck that whole idea. Tear bad things down, deplatform the people who defend the bad thing, and educate young people about how the bad thing was bad.
  5. I'll be blunt: the people here going to Thanksgiving suppers shouldn't be. Also, here is a sad thread:
  6. I wonder if, ten years from now, Americans will look back and call this the Dark Winter: http://thehill.com//apple-touch-icon.png 38 percent of Americans planning on having Thanksgiving dinner with THEHILL.COM About 40 percent of U.S. 38% of Americans plan on having Thanksgiving dinners with more than ten people.
  7. Or just changing the location to another hotel or conference place. Location and schedule changes happen all the time. If they had changed it to a Ramada or something, no one would have even cared.
  8. If you held a nation vote with the following (a single vote, yes or no), roughly 60-70% of the American people would agree: Medicare for all Legalize marijuana $15 minimum wage Wealth tax of 3% above $25 million Increase income tax to 80% above $1 million Stimulus Round 2 Yet the DNC is afraid to run on any of them in public, because all of their donors are against them. The Democratic Party is the weakest opposition party in the western world, and I include the now-defunct Jeremy Corbyn Labour Party in that assessment. Maybe I'm doomposting because it's so late, but the best thing that some of the US population can hope for at this point is (assuming non-violence) that the more liberal states secede somehow (through a slow breakup) and create new constitutions that enshrine actual progressive, modern values that are taken for granted in most of the developed world. People in Kentucky will be more fucked, sure, but maybe people in Washington or California will have better lives, and the people of butt-fuck nowhere can whine all they want while they enjoy no services and religious law.
  9. 80% of Wyoming's voters won't hear about that, including 90% of Republican voters. Of the 10% of GOP voters who do, over half will agree that while the state GOP is corrupt, they are better than socialist Democrats.
  10. Trump asked aides if he could pursue a wild plan to replace the Electoral College with loyalists who would ignore the vote, report says WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM Trump is bouncing around last-ditch strategies as he fights to remain in the White House, The New York Times reported.
  11. Street violence and insurgency attacks, with a mostly urban-rural split.
  12. This is a tactic the right-wing is using across North America now (the leader of the United Conservative Party of Alberta did the same thing in the last election to defeat his opponent, but running a dark-money alt candidate to siphon votes away):
  13. Trudeau is hinting he may invoke a federal emergency to give the government more powers over provincial affairs, and Ford is having a tantrum about it.
  14. Here's what would happen: National order of some kind to lockdown Red states ignore order Virus spreads anyway Media says Dems' plan failed!
