You're not getting cold calls because of SEO tracking, TH.

Also, if you read the message closely, it says that you have to agree and use the site for the terms to apply, not just use the site.

You should probably just not use the internet anymore if it's a dealbreaker for you.

That’s how we got Nixon and Trump.

Well, uh, thanks? I mean **** you? I mean... I don't know anymore *grabs head in confusion*

Even as a gamer, I very much recommend people who don't play games to never fall into that habit.

In the Hillary X Trump election, how could one even have used one's power to vote in a constructive manner?

*sigh*

What to do? Except just get drunk and hope for better times, of course.



Sadly, I can't be in the top 5 myself. Calling almost all members on the site a douche kinda makes me one myself.
I guess you can look at history, particularly the 1930s, and see where we all could be heading. Look at the parallels (1930s- Jews, 2010s- Mexicans)The only difference now is everybody has nukes.

And we have a leader(choke) who's playing footsies with Russia. Reagan must be vomiting in his grave.

Well, it was civil in the eighties and especially the seventies when compared with today. At least the barbs against Reagan and Carter weren't personally motivated.

Break down and vote third party. Both major parties have betrayed us. So called Democrats need to give up the ghost and join the Progressive movement while true Conservatives need to form their own party or maybe modify the Libertarians ( a true Conservative is a Libertarian at heart). What a wonderful world it could be with the Libertarians vs, the Greens instead of the Republicans vs. the Democrats.

Interested in The Hawk's thoughts on this one.
