Saying water is dry over and over doesn't make it a correct statement.

Growing pot in a house is the equivalent of making your own alcohol in the basement, except pot can't actually kill you or your kids.

(And marijuana & hemp oil, while not curing skin cancer, have shown significant health benefits for what it's worth)

Without immigration Europe population is declining -- that's the economic bet behind their policy.
 
Every single party has these nut jobs. I honestly believe that there need to be a group of angry 16 year olds high school bullies going through the social media accounts of would be politicians like they were classmates they didn't like.

All the parties would be in better shape if they didn't have these bozo eruptions coming out on a weekly basis.

Problem is that immigration is a big part of what put these socialist countries in economic troubles.

Getting forced out of politics for making a truthful statement.

What a petty world this is.

If the candidate had written "alcohol" or "pills" instead of "pot", she would still be in her post. This is so dumb.

Or had she been 30 miles South.

They're not as dumb as western democracies. Good for them.

Say what you want about the appropriateness of some of Trump's comments but when he says that the people leading this country are numbskulls, he's spot on, and it's probably why he's doing as well as he is so far in the polls.

Leaders are dumb, but voters are dumb. Voters are easily swayed.

Trump is doing well because he doesn't follow a particular ideology. He's not really a Republican and he's not really a Democrat. His ideas hit spot on with a wide range of people. Low educated and low skilled American workers like his view on deportation because it reduces competition for low earning and factory jobs. Also the American fear that everyone wants to kill them plays hard here.

His views on Free Trade and universal health care along with his reluctance to promise to not raise taxes plays well with more Liberal voters.

Trump is finding a way to speak to a lot of people. That's why he's polling well.

He's also very smart. The fact that he started with millions but turned that into billions is impressive, given how many born rich kids squandered their family's wealth in business.

Not really. If Trump would have simply invested the fortune he inherited from daddy into the S&P index, he'd have about the same amount of billions without ever having to lift a finger or file for corporate bankruptcy.

Trump is just a half smart, half tacky entertainer who is attractive to voters who feel basic anger about the state of the world.

But would you vote for him?
 
Re: Around The League: 2014 - 2015 Season

But he didn't amass that fortune by just investing. That's what I find impressive. Using the BK laws your benefit is nothing to be embarrassed about.
