Trump is a cancerous mole that America probably...

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Trump also just flip-flops constantly based on who he's talking to, so let's not pretend Hillary is the only one who does that.[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000]Angela Merkel does the whole "follow the polls" thing(the refugee crisis was pretty much the first important decision where she did not) and I did not like it. For example, after the Fukushima power plant incident happened, we pretty much immidiately shut down all our nuclear power without havin a plan o how to replace it with somethign reneweable. Instead we are now stuck with increasing the intended lifespan of some old coal and gas plants because she could not wait until we had more wind energy and the means to get it to all of germany(I could rant about this for a while but it would be off-topic as hell).[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Wayne3100]Except you weren't shitting on the things he was saying, you were shitting on him for posting it and discouraging him from posting again in the process.[/quote] Huh? Am I missing something? Since when is "Don't write like you know something when you're clueless." shitting on him and discouraging him from posting? If anything I'm discouraging him from posting comments where he makes claims based on faulty or incomplete logic. [quote=utopus]you're saying that here it's reasonable to assume that past behavior isn't a reasonable predictor of future behavior, which means that you've just contradicted yourself.[/quote] Not at all. This argument only holds up if we can conclude that political economy is the same as business economy. And I've got a pretty strong argument as to why it isn't: Business economy is all about making profit, and while that is something Trump is pretty good at doing, he's doing so mostly off loopholes and questionable transactions. Loopholes and questionable transactions have a tendency of screwing over certain involved parties (like the guy who bought into the Trump hotel in the video). It's not a transaction where all parties benefit. The purpose of political economy is improving the situation for everybody. Questionable transactions are of no benefit for the political economist that is trying to do what is best for the people. We already have plenty of politicians abusing their power for financial benefit, I see no good reason why Trump wouldn't do the same.[/quote]

Donald Trump claims that he can't be bought because he already is a billionaire, but I don't see why he would decline money for something like building a loophole into a law. It is not like it takes any additional efford and it might very well benefit him personally. You don't get as rich as he is if you decline essentially free money.[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000][quote=Embracing]america's fucked bois any country accepting american refugees?[/quote] Come to germany, we have enough space(we also have better than 3rd world level social systems and need plenty of young workers to support our pension system) :)[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Devampi]I hope you know what a fallacy is? as "Don't write like you know something when you're clueless." can be considered as one.[/quote] Your first sentence is an incorrectly phrased question. Anyhow, I know it's not a true statement. It's hyperbole. He's not clueless, but he's either willfully ignoring or doesn't know several key factors on the topic.[/quote]

And it's not really relevant to mention it.) The problem with sentences like those is the way people can receive them. Because it does sort of include a 'personal attack' (a light one). It has the same problem as sarcastic comments (typed once ofc) Which dates does the voting start? Then I know when I need to be prepared for the 1st nuclear WW Kappa.[/quote]
