MillionX Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 A ranking of horror icons I was just watching... The top ranks that immediately pop up in my mind are always Pinhead, Jason, and Freddy Kruegar; the popular unholy trinity there (with Pennywise being extremely close to top rank as well).......even though I'd agree that most of the Hellraiser franchise is terribly disappointing...and that other dude who played him in one of the later films just looked silly. It's fortunate that the recent reboot effectively rescued that franchise. It surprises me he ranked "Billy" from Black Christmas that high... for being an old "classic" I was barely able to get through that movie, and of course he doesn't have any supernatural powers so naturally that's not helping his case against the rest of the competition out there, imo.

If there are gang fights going on on school grounds, how is it "doing something" to just break it up, move it along, and treat it like it's just some disagreement between two kids? Having adults break up the fight is the bare fucking minimum, especially if it's gang related, and if that's the case, cops need to be brought in because God knows what the hell else these scumbags will do that other kids who aren't involved will get caught up in.

Some of them actually did. Almost everyone said something about him based on those clips cept for Vivek. Vivek is too busy with his head between Trump's cheeks and just going for easy low hanging fruit to get the crowd on his side. The only ones there though that actually seem to want to be President are Nikki and Chris Christie though. They really did not care how many boos they got from people it looked like, they kept at it. Hats off to them. I wonder if Trump actually does ever come to one of the later debates and Vivek is there are they just going to be giving each other Blowjobs while shitting on the other members? At least until it gets to a point that Trump inevitably has to start talking shit about him. I'm convinced though that Trump could say really anything he wanted to in front of that crowd and it wouldn't have to be anything on topic and the crowd would cheer for him.

Dracu Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 It amazes me how the Democrats have Biden and Harris as front-runners for President, basically the worst duo in US history and the Republicans still can't seem to find a candidate who doesn't look worse. Trump obliterates these guys easily, but he's not going to beat Biden, because the machine has worked his image out too much. He can't sway the Biden voters who chose him simply out of hate for him, despite knowing Sleepy Joe is a horrible pick himself. With what's going on the world right now, the US needs a better class of politicians ASAP. 4 more years of Biden would signal a clear downfall of US hegemony over the world. You guys need a strong hand with some strong policies and conviction to actually do something, cause these lukewarm corrupt grifters are burying the entire place and dragging the whole western world with them.

Getting some of these kids into a mentoring program would probably help some of them. You can't reach all of them but just letting them fight it out in schools isn't the way. Eventually they're going to be bringing guns/other weapons to school which makes for the potential that other kids who aren't involved in the gang shit to get hurt too.

He seems like he doesn't understand how anything actually works. I have my doubts he could pass the civics test he's proposing being a requirement to vote. If what the kids told that woman about the fight being related to gang activity is true, then that's a seriously problem. Gang activity leads to fights, and while I agree that fist fighting in and of itself isn't necessarily the worst thing, when there's gang activity involved, those fist fights can escalate and weapons get involved either to harm someone else or protect one's self from other people. Gang activity isn't and shouldn't be acceptable in schools (or anywhere really, but especially in schools) and it's incumbent on the administrators to figure out a way to tamp it down rather than just shrugging it off. I really do think that getting especially boys in these situations some mentoring would help them a lot because many of them probably have shitty/nonexistent male influences in their lives and having a positive male role model can really help a young cat out in a lot of ways. Putting them in jail/juvie for extended periods of time just leads them further down the road to basically being feral and should only be a last resort imo. But even at high school age, there's a chance for some of these kids to turn their lives around, especially kids who join gangs as a means of support they aren't getting elsewhere. As for Vivek, I'm not saying he's a good candidate. He says things people want to hear, but like Trump, he's probably full of shit on a lot of those counts. Democracy only really works if there's a follow through on the part of the candidates to do the will of the voters, and right now I'd say there's a massive disconnect there. Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Cops make gang situations way way worse. Mentoring is one thing we could do that would help a lot yea, I agree with that. Gang activity shouldn't be acceptable in schools but sending in the cops doesn't make it better it usually makes it worse. I'm honestly beginning to suspect Vivek is just there to either test the waters and see how receptive the public is to his bat shit positions, or he's there to make the rest of those goofball looks less insane. He doesn't feel like a legit candidate to me. DoctaMario 1 Quote Link to comment
AriesWarlock Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) Speaking of Vivek Vivek Ramaswamy Called the ‘Climate Change Agenda’ a ‘Hoax’ on Wednesday. A Year Ago He Said It Was an ‘Important Question.’ Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made a show of calling the “climate change agenda” a “hoax” during Wednesday night’s debate. “Let us be honest as Republicans, I’m the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for so I can say this: The climate change agenda is a hoax. The climate change agenda is a hoax,” he argued with no shortage of self-righteousness. But in the past, Ramaswamy has been far less strident in his rhetoric, and far more open to debates about how the issue should be addressed. In February 2021, he delivered congressional testimony during which he argued that “fighting climate change” is not a “bad goal,” and professed not to “offer a judgment one way or another about whether staving off climate change is a worthy social goal for this body to elevate above other societal considerations.” And last August, Ramaswamy meekly argued that finding the solution to climate change should be a task for “the political process.” “Leave it to the political process to sort out important questions. I’m not discounting important questions, like how and whether we combat climate change, and when and what timeframe we do it,” said Ramaswamy. “But those are questions in which every citizen has an equal stake and an equal voice, where someone cloistered in the corner office of Manhattan should not dictate the way an entire industry behaves, settling that question through force rather than through debate.” In another conversation that same month, he called climate change “one of the most fundamental societal discussions we ought to be having.” “I think that the point here is if you’re an alternative energy company you’re going to have an important role to play in America’s energy future. Be the best version of yourself. But I also think that oil and gas is going to play an important role in getting there too. And at the end of the day it will be malpractice to enter the decarbonization revolution without an alternative to fill the void, that’s exactly what’s happened,” said Ramaswamy. As recently as this March, Ramaswamy was far less dismissive of climate change action. “Climate change is also real, by the way. We’re talking about the climatism piece of this. When I talk about climatism and COVIDism, I’m not denying the underlying reality of COVID. I’m not denying the underlying reality that global surface temperatures are going up, and in part due to human activity,” he told CBS’s Major Garrett.

HD-Man Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I will never understand ppl putting their opinions out to the public and getting upset when ppl question them. You open yourselves to any criticism when you speak, thats the nature of the beast Its so easy to get a diary or simply not say anything tho, especially if the topic is controversial RSG3 and Darc_Requiem 2 Quote Link to comment
