The Current Events Thread

I'd want to vote for Vermin Supreme. And his Pony bill.

[Syobon]

I don't suppose I can just convince you to vote for Paul then? He's the only Republican candidate who's not certifiably insane.

That one seems like the most reasonable one to me too. But can you confirm for me whether or not he actually understands Evolution Theory?

[Exeres]

No idea. All I know or really care is that he believes most of the controversial decisions the federal government deals with should be handled by the States individually.

And he has a degree in Biology and a Doctrine in Medicine!

Yeah, I'll be voting for Obama.

[Exeres]

I'm sure Obama believes a few things that you disagree with as well.

[Chopstix]

He does! But I have more democratic views on things. One major thing I liked is his views on gay marriage are slowly evolving. Though, it's not my basis on voting.

[Syobon]

I am seriously questioning the quality of American medical/biological degrees right now.

It doesn't really matter since I can't vote anyway, but not understanding evolution is one of the most basest signs of ignorance to me. It seriously revolts me.

[Lithium]

What does that have to do with this ability to run in the election though?

Not disagreeing with you, I'm just wondering.

[Exeres]

Like he said, it's a general sign of ignorance.

It's a result of our culture placing an undue importance on religion. There is a very strong secularism vs. Christian dichotomy in this country and the debate only fuels the strength of either side's resolve.

My dad will cry. All he ever eats are ding-dongs or whatever those chocolate rolled-up cake things with the cream in the middle are called.

[Madican]

I felt a great disturbance in the force. As if many voices cried out, and then had to gasp for air from the effort.

[Exeres]

Hostess has declared bankruptcy before, this doesn't necessarily mean that they'll go out of business.

[Kamak]

I occasionally treat myself to a ding dong (like 1-2 times a semester), but I'm sure I can find another dessert reward to consume.

Plus, as said before, I seem to remember them doing this when I was a kid. I know my grandma ran out and bought like a whole shelf of shit when they announced this before.

cupboard was full of boxes of everything.

>announce bankruptcy
>people lose shit, buy everything
