there's not a single era or generation where we were we weren't either under severe financial distress, massive prejudice of minority groups, or outright at war.
those things are only bad if you failed to make a profit off of them... wait a minute....

I knew I should have invested in Halliburton :(
I kinda wonder if Kim-Jong Un is afraid, at all of a Trump presidency? I wouldn't put it past Trump to just drop a nuke on North Korea then make them pay for it.
I see Trump and North Korea going down similar to how Joel and Norway did.

WW3 IS GOING TO BE YUGE! BETTER THAN THE FIRST TWO COMBINED!
You know what worries me?
Truly?
There are people that legit feel this way. Straight-faced, completely serious. They've been fed a steady stream of the "Greatest Generation" (seriously, die choking in a ***, Brokaw) and they truly feel they need their own Great War to set the world back on the right track.
Sensationalizing the past without acknowledging its flaws is a major problem in this country.
That's why I never understood Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan. Under what specific era or time period, in your sun shining, bright smile, cup of joe way was America "great"? What exactly are we aiming to go back to? Cause there's not a single era or generation where we were we weren't either under severe financial distress, massive prejudice of minority groups, or outright at war.
I said in the thread earlier but the 1950s is what most Americans are waxing nostalgic about when they want 'great' America back.
America just won WWII, the minorities were in their place, women were still getting slapped around and we had factory jobs still!
MAKE AMERICA 1950 AGAIN.

Right?
I really, really wish I had known to invest the $50 I got for my First Communion back in '90 in Halliburton instead of that kick-*** Lego castle set. But how could I have known the Gulf War was coming and *** Cheney was going to make a killing (literally and financially)!?

I think it was our secondary industrial revolution in the 50s that really help put the 50s on the map as our "golden era". That and the commercial facade of everyday American life being like Ozzie and Harriet.

Until November, all "Buckeye ***™" products have been re-labeled "Registered Swing State Voter™", and now come with 25% more pandering from candidates

Back when flying cars were the dream, not the sad reality that the *** Prius is what we got instead.

Personally, I'm going to vote for the 30s. Yeah the Depression sucked, but ***was gritty as hell and all that Art Deco was the bomb.

Funny you mention that. Reminds me of a recent video done by Extra Credits calling out for the lack of creative vision and catalysts to help paint the picture of the future which we've been doing for decades, but have recently diminished as of late.

Just wait until the secret service convoy blocks traffic enough that a pregnant woman in labor couldn't reach the hospital in time and had to deliver at a bus stop. And then the media going after Trump for not letting emergencies go past him.

I quite like era where you could hijack a plane and know it was a good old American boy like DB Cooper and not one of these Mooselims, yaknow?
That Cooper. Hijacks a plane, demands a ransom then jumps out of that plane into history. That's the American ingenuity that made us the greatest country ever.
No handouts. Take what you want, leave nothing back.

You really want people to have flying cars? The same people that manage to wrap themselves around guard rails, trees or go up the wrong side of the interstate for miles without noticing?
Ah yes. Today in local news, a grandmother nosedived her 2015 Toyota into a school full of children. Terrorism has been ruled out. Investigators believe grandma had a heart attack when she saw how high off the ground she was.

Personally, I don't think candidates should get Secret Service protection. Being able to survive on your own should be part of the test of becoming president.

We'll have self-driving before flying, anyway - we will never have human-piloted flying cars.
(And even self-driving is farther off in practice than people really want to believe)

Sparth, Sparth, Sparth. You're not paying attention.
I don't want flying cars.
I want the dream of flying cars to be alive and well. That sense of hope and destiny of something great!
...what I'm saying is that I hate the *** Prius.

Because we both know that if it was Trump, not Obama, that this happened to, the media would be having a field day.

You know, you say that, but we both know that for the Donald, any media attention is good attention. Even if it's for torching an orphanage.
I mean, let's face it. His supports know that those *** orphans were leaching public money, you know?

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
