I'm disturbed. Someone might support bombing Hearthstone next.

I heard about this, and then I realized how stupid America has gotten. Now I know why Republicans want to vote for Trump.

Sheesh. Everyone knows we need to bomb Ishtar first.


Although it already bombed

Things like this are why I'm skeptical of the usefulness of universal suffrage. In theory, it's great that everyone has a voice. In practice, there are a lot of low-information voters out there. How many people voted for our current president because of his skin color and the ability to read well from a teleprompter? And how many people unthinkingly vote straight party line?

This happened.

Heimberg: I voted for that Moseley Braun dude.

taoist: Umm, Mike, Moseley Braun's not a dude.

Heimberg: Yeah, well ...

taoist: And she's black.

Heimberg: #@!$

Apparently a similar poll was taken after the results of this one were announced. I'll let everyone's favorite news source, Breitbart, tell the rest...

So let's see if the same news outlets that gave the original story a lot of coverage since it provided an opportunity to snicker at those dumb Republicans will even cover this story since it indicates that the Democrats are even less informed.

Does anyone care to make a wager?

So, what's the breakdown between Republicans and Democrats wanting to bomb Munchkinland? Whoever wants it more, gets my vote.

Are Repubs really as obtuse as Brieibark thinks they are, that they can be fooled by dueling polls that make a moral equivalence between BOMBING SOMEPLACE and letting in refugees (the poll said "refugees", not opportunists)? Are Repubs so callous that they think a dumbness equivalence is sufficient to give the nod to Repub superiority when the particular poll settles nothing except that many Repubs are monsters who will wantonly kill anybody and everybody as against Dems whose fault is merely a compassion for fellow humans in dire straits.

Here I am, a Rightist who can occasionally see his way clear to vote for such a one as Trump, yet this "moral equivalence" Breitbart sees makes me determined never to vote for Trump because such a large minority of people (his kind of people) bomb for the sake of bombing.

Jesse, you're so obviously making yourself look ridiculous to get yourself into one of the vacancies in my "Dirty Dozen" list that it just works against your ambition. I'll have to take everything you say from now one as just your jaded attempt to curry my disfavor. (But you might try dissing me about my Theodicy I posted in Theology 201. It's hard-hearted soteriology that gets my ire aroused in deciding who goes on my list.)

The point was that the Republicans polled agreed to bomb a place that didn't exist and that was what they were made fun of for. Being so ignorant that they didn't realize that Agrabah was where Aladdin lived in the Disney movie. This poll demonstrates that at least as many and likely more Democrats think that Agrabah is a real place.


And if I call you a poopiehead can I get on the shortlist of candidates for the Dirty Dozen list?

Poopiehead.

Your failure in your Post #11 to understand my point about Repub monstrous bloodthirstiness qualifies you for SOME "badness" list, but not mine. Your post kind of implies you can't see ill of people and condemn even what SHOULD be condemned. I'm looking for candidates who condemn people just to be condemning people whether or not they are guilty of ANYTHING except for God having it in for them.

I have too much appreciation for your diligent research to want to pronounce a pox upon you. Admit you're a good guy and slink away.

One question: What is the appropriate answer if you dohot.

Assuming large numbers of both parties did not recognize the reference, I think this is more of a problem for Republicans. Military action is not to be taken lightly and one should never authorize action for a situation they do not understand (if the place doesn't really exist they don't get the situation). Why would you want to bomb a place for seemingly no reason?

An openness to accept refugees from a nonexistent place is less of a problem because it can just stem from a general humanitarian impulse.
