Okay, I want to give you a real situation. As I've probably mentioned ad nauseum that I currently live and work in Malaysia - that's important to give this story a bit of context. My boss is American and her boyfriend/fiance is Iranian. Today, I walked in to work to see her crying and reading...

The day I quit facebook last week was the day I saw a guy blame the Obama administration for Ringling Brothers Circus going out of business last week. I had to do it to keep my head from exploding.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic

It seems like Obama was an outlier for large crowds at his inauguration. Even if Trump pulls 500,000, he'd have more than most recent presidential inaugurations...

I hate to admit it, but that's par for the course. Obama did it, too.

Good point about the killing fields. Sorry to deviate from the main subject, but I visited the killing fields in 2010. They even converted schools into torture camps. Fucking chilling.

What Statler posted earlier about Rick Perry not being prepared to do the job is perfect example of a major problem we have in the US. I don't know if it can be blamed on our education, culture or whatever, but there seems to be this prevailing attitude that because someone is good at one thing...

True, but the Democrats can also be populist as well. They just have a different ideology as to how to uplift people who struggle financially. These views tend to resonate among non-white and/or urban people. What has happened (and this to me shows a subconscious racial bias in our society) is...

Although I tend to identify as center-left in my political ideology, I don't believe I'm beholden to that ideology when I pick a leader. There are many conservative politicians that I would follow, based on the fact that they understand the function (or lack thereof) of government and they...

And the more you guys respond to him the more he's gonna post. If you don't respond, trolls go away.

Trump would never last long as a fish because he always takes the bait. badumpbump. But as much as I loathe our new president elect, I wish the Dems would just go to the damn inauguration - if not for the new president, for the Presidency. Despite the deplorable individual who will occupy the...

We Americans got the candidate we deserve and I hope we learn from it. We no longer have conversations anymore, but shouting matches where everyone says how they feel, but are unwilling to listen to other points of view. We no longer feel (or try to feel) empathy for our fellow man. We only...

I know that this is going to sound horrible, but after reading about article after article about how the GOP and Trump are going to repeal Obamacare (and they don't seem to have a better replacement), I almost hope that all the people who lose their healthcare are Trump voters. I know I...

Re: The Icon (née Western Ave Residence) | 530 Western Ave | Brighton I know a good link for this :) http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=5420

I see my idea failed as nobody is bringing their petty arguments here. On the other hand, the board ha been a bit more civil over the last few days. One thing we can't forget is that this is a board. If we're having a good discussion and someone tries to derail it with inane and uninformed...

I can't wrap my head around why anyone would say Obama is "anti-Israel." My conservative Jewish family members are constantly going on about how "Obama hates Israel" even before the UN vote. For fucks sake, he approved a spending bill of OUR tax money that gives Israel $3.8 billion per year...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/10/fbi-chief-given-dossier-by-john-mccain-alleging-secret-trump-russia-contacts Holy fucking shit. I still can't wrap my head around the latest developments involving Trump and his ties to Russia (and the golden shower stuff ;) ), so I'll reserve...

Well part of it is up to us. If people are having a normal discussion about a topic and someone comes in with an agenda unrelated to the topic, we don't have to answer him/her. Hell, we don't even need to acknowledge their presence. Eventually the trolls will die of starvation.

A lot of people have been complaining about the quality of threads lately. I'm hoping this will help lead the forum in the right direction.
