    I can't help but wonder how y'all manage to keep electing him then.

    But not with a majority. Remember, Israeli elections are not head-to-head races between candidates. Netanyahu's governments have been coalitions that include some rather fringe fanatical parties.

    Honest question, what do you have against the term SJW?

    Nothing. I love the term "SJW". It serves to identify the people who use it (though it really doesn't identify the people they are using it to describe). It's like the way Aldo "The Apache" Raine in the movie Inglorious Basterds would carve a swastika into the forehead of Nazis, because he "liked to be able to see my Nazis coming".

    I like to see my reactionary cucks coming. And by using the term, "SJW", men who had traumatic experiences during potty-training identify themselves and allow me to pay them no mind. See, "SJW" really doesn't have any meaning besides "people I don't like, but don't know how to disagree with". If you make a little reductive experiment, you'll see what I mean. Give me your best definition of "SJW" and it can be used to define a range of people so broad that it no longer has the meaning you intended. Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean, but you have to be willing to be rigorous in your self-evaluation. Can you do that?

    Plus it makes for a great weekend drinking game on Slashdot. Seriously.

    This is what happens when you allow sociopaths to run corporations.

    When it comes to running a corporation, being a sociopath is a feature, not a bug.

    This, unfortunately, is what late-stage capitalism looks like. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan,

    “I believe that Capitalism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow men.”

    Have you met any Finns?

    I'm serious. I have Finnish friends. They drink a lot. Maybe it's because it starts to get dark there at like 10 in the morning. One of the ways you can tell Finns are approaching the point of alcohol poisoning is when they start crying and hugging and kissing you.

    Also, for some reason I have not been able to fathom, Finnish people are really crazy about Tango. That's right. tango. There is a long history of Finns singing and dancing tango. All these things make Finland one of my favorite European countries.

    You want depressing? Here is the current GOP frontrunner in his own words:

    My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain. And when you look at the way that the pyramids are made, with many chambers that are hermetically sealed, they’d have to be that way for various reasons. And various of scientists have said, ‘well, you know there were alien beings that came down and they have special knowledge and that’s how-’ you know, it doesn’t require an alien being when God is with you.

    Yes, Dr Carson, it's "the scientists" who are saying there were ancient aliens that built the pyramids, you ignoramus.
