If you can enforce this level of vignette onto players could that simulate darkness?

Businesses will stop accepting $20 bills as it goes against their religious beliefs.

What religious beliefs would those be? I seriously can't find a single thing she's done that would go against any reasonable or wide-held religious belief.

Literally none of them sound like they want to start WW3. They're at worst insulting a corrupt scumbag, not inciting war. And Annoying Orange's the only one complimenting him, despite that corruption and douchebaggery. I don't consider that a good thing.

Oh hey look I can find quotes online too

(Starting at ~1:50)
"You aren't really that thin-skinned are you?"
"Oh yes I am."

-more dialogue-
"You are incredibly thin-skinned!"
"I know, I am!"

And I'm sure we all know about the whole small hands business. He still sends those letters, by the way.

Now imagine what would happen if a country started insulting him. Him being thin-skinned and incredibly narcissistic, he's not gonna take it that well. The guy can't even properly handle himself when people insult his campaign, let alone how he runs the country if he does get elected. Even a minor conflict started by him (Like a loving trade war with China) can quite easily escalate into a full-on world war (*AHEM*WWI*AHEM*). Are you really wanting to run that risk?

I don't think anyone can dispute the above. Here's where I get opinionated and controversial. Ready?

Illegals are not refugees fleeing a genocide, they are not victims of a crime against humanity. They are economic migrants entering the US primarily for economic reasons. We should not coddle them and treat them as helpless children or victims. They know what they've done is a violation of federal immigration law and have no right to protest when the gov't cuts grant money or deports people wrongfully residing on US soil.

You're generalizing. Stop generalizing. Yes, many of them are economic migrants I'm sure. We don't know how many in the US are economic migrants and we don't know how many are good people escaping conflict, so don't pretend like you do know.

But no, deporting illegal immigrants is not racism unless you're racially profiling people to figure out if they are an illegal immigrant, in which case it would be. We don't know how he would have this done because he rarely ever gives any details on his actual plans.

isn't there a class-action lawsuit against new york for suppressing voter rights or something rn

there absolutely is yes

"I voted in New York's primary today, but I'm not smiling because, like so many other New Yorkers, I don't know if my vote will be counted or not. I am one of the tens of thousands of voters whose registration was inexplicably changed, inaccurate, or missing and had to cast an affidavit ballot. No matter who you want to get the nomination, if you are interested in a fair and democratic process, you should be upset about this.

Some info: "The city’s Board of Elections was pummeled with questions Monday about how 54,000 Democratic voters vanished from the rolls in Brooklyn." Source: http://nypost.com/2016/04/19/54000-brooklyn-voters-vanish-ahead-of-primary-day/

"With less than 24 hours until the presidential primary, a group of New Yorkers who saw their party affiliations mysteriously switched are filing a lawsuit Monday seeking to open the state’s closed primary so that they can cast a ballot."
Source: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/04/18/3770355/new-york-voting-open-primary-lawsuit/

"A bill currently before the Assembly would open up the presidential primary to those who are not members of a party. It is laid over in the election law committee, and if past efforts to expand voter access in New York are a guide, it may never see the light of day."

lol "critical thinking" requires a class now?

It covers formal material. The most experience with critical thinking people usually get is informal fallacies. The course covered not only informal fallacies, but formal fallacies and formal logic (syllogisms and boolean logic), inductive reasoning and techniques behind it, and miscellaneous other things.

It really is a lot more stuff than the average (or even significantly above average) person will learn on their own, and it's an incredibly valuable skill.

where's the erosion of civil liberties in general (see: NSA, CISA, China, Russia, Pakistan)
where's the rising anti-intellectual movement that has manifested itself even in the 2016 election (see: anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, creationists, extreme feminism which is on the poll, religious extremists calling science blasphemy)

found the bunsen berner

It's common knowledge that i'm a birdie sandals dude. There are other people who aren't and want their say too.

Honestly sanders isn't going to loving win. Hillary has been stealing his votes after she started mimicking his own loving campaign to gain votes, it's sickening.

And she's going to go back on every single one of her more left-ish ideals that she stole the moment she takes office, if (and I really hope not) she takes office.

If it was between hillary and Annoying Orange, I honestly don't know who I'd pick. I can vote for an idiot or a corrupt habitual liar.
