So you're saying Sanders is economically insane? I sure hope your wrong. And for that matter if Sanders gets in I sure as hell hope he's a thousand times better than the NDP have ever been.
Wtf? Where did I say he was "economically insane?"

We must have very different ideas of who these "NDP" people are, despite them being one of the major parties. Which is quite odd.

3752
I guess "utterly insane" and "completely incompetent" would be a better way to describe them.
Okay, putting aside your hilariously severe opinion of them. I'm not saying Bernie is equal to the NDP party. I'm saying they are roughly in the same area on the left/right scale in terms of economics. The devil's in the details when it comes to things like this; just knowing that they want to raise the minimum wage and lower pay inequality doesn't tell you much about their policies at all, let alone the specifics about how they're implemented.

EDIT: typo

So super socialist and pushing towards communism?
Wat? This doesn't describe the NDP party.

if they gave out their password, it's their fault.

however, i feel like this is a hoax and gamefandan is just suiciding because he's bored of here.
seems way, way out of character
he's a genuinely nice guy

Details, in what way is he not economically left?
In Europe he would be considered a bit off to the left of the regular candidates. In Canada he would be about on par with the NDP party. The US is really, really right economically compared to a lot of the rest of the world.

3757
so like bernie sanders? He's the most SJW candidate we have and he's still popular
Socially left, not economically left. He's definitely socially left, but not to the extreme. In fact he wouldn't even be considered that far left economically in many parts of the world.

3758
I don't think I've ever seen a feminational socialist SJW in real life. Is it just a meme or am I not looking hard enough?

It seems like the term regressive left is intended for any mainstream leftist tbh
they almost exclusively don't do that sort of stuff irl
the ones that do are quite rare

And no, it's not intended for mainstream leftists. We're talking extreme left.

he complains about colorado but is fine with states like florida using a winner-takes-all system?
where 55% of the voters did not vote for him but all 99 delegates were allocated to him?
some hypocrisy here
Absolutely massive hipocrasy. It's amazing that none of the candidates have spoken out on the fundamental way that elections are handled in the US. Here's an amazing video by CGP Grey on the subject.

IQ only represents how well you can recognize patterns. It's what IQ tests are based on entirely so that there's no cultural-based bias. It's a good indicator of for example how easily someone can learn math or how much potential they have. However it doesn't actually come out to how well a person does in say, car repair. Or getting a job. Or teamwork capabilities. You could have an IQ of 170 and still have no idea how to put an engine block together.

That's all Amade is saying. There's more to "intelligence" than just your IQ. Your actual obtained knowledge  through experience or otherwise is not included in an IQ test and contributes to intelligence as well.

The common """""debunking""""" of the 77-cent wage gap figure explains that the gap is a product of women's choices, because women tend to choose lower-paying jobs. In fact, the original study that produced this figure discussed this. This explanation is not the end of the discussion but rather the start. Here's an incredibly thorough research publication discussing the pay gap, and Here's an article written by two women with Ph.D.s in economics who are far more qualified to have this discussion than either of us is.
The "discussion" that most people (embarrassingly including Obama in one of his appearances) have been trying to stir up regarding the pay gap is that women were being paid less for the same work. That, if a woman and a man both had the same job doing the same amount of work, that the woman would only make 77-80-whatever cents on the dollar that the man did. That's what was debunked, and if the "discussion" is that women get paid less for the same work, that is where the discussion ends. If your "discussion" is something else entirely, then it doesn't apply.

Feminism has no place in the modern world. The only things that women are treated unfairly in are trivial.
The people in Saudi Arabia are struggling to pass a bill that would make a male raping his wife illegal.
Feminism most definitely has a place in the modern world. It's just not here in the US.

get i5, it's significantly cheaper

So everyone got mad because jokes, got it
There really wasn't any anger involved until midway through the counter-retaliation. then there was loads of insults being thrown by both sides because there was so much other stuff besides jokes.

And that wasn't even the picture. Though I don't want to post it here because I don't wanna get banned.

If you're aiming for popularity, make non-blockland-related videos. Blockland isn't a super popular game as much as we all love it here; other games will get you a lot more attention.
