For the life of me, I don't understand Matt & Trey. They're very... eccentric people and often seem to have paradoxical beliefs. It makes no sense that they would bash Donald Trump of all people. Trump is awesome, and I figured they'd be on board with him like I am.

It was a bit strange that they had such a specifically strong opinion on Trump when they usually have libertarian views and they just portray the entire big government political system as bad.

The last season kind of started like they were making fun of both Trump and Hillary equally, but as the season went on and it became progressively clear that Trump wasn't just going to straight lose the election the whole show was as someone else already described it, like the Daily Show, where they were just bashing Trump and making fun of people who don't agree with the current liberal viewpoint.

Using "you should feel bad for them" as an argument is just the appeal to emotion logical fallacy.

There is nothing wrong if you do want to "save" these people, but you're being a hypocrite if you criticize others for not wanting to help but you yourself are unwilling to give up a majority portion of your own income to take care of and personally house these people for that cause, but expect someone else to pay for it so you can feel the "right thing" is being done.

I get that they want to make sure the people adopting are good people that can support a kid but the process in the U.S. seems overly rigid when you consider that the orphanage is probably a worse place than with most people who'd want to adopt.

You're talking about people who could much more easily get a child through normal conception, artificial insemination (if they can't conceive normally), or hiring a surrogate mother to give birth, than adopt. If you make it too hard to adopt people will just choose an easier way to get a kid.

You're practically dooming most of the kids to stay in the orphanage.

You speak as if endless debt is acceptable.

The main reason the U.S. hasn't become Greece is because it's a world power. It's "too big to fail".

And the charade with North Korea isn't for the governments, its for the populace. The governments of the leading nations know China is the reason they can never do anything about North Korea, and they know why China does it.

The fact that there are people like you who blame North Korea before China for North Korea means it was money well spent by China. That's all they wanted out of it.

TigerTycoon
07/03/17 4:58:30 PM

Inconsistent portrayal of strength is a problem with American comics in general because they can't have the hero fighting the strongest villains all the time, but because of villain recycling it doesn't make any sense when a hero beats someone extremely powerful but still has trouble fighting those who are much weaker. It's an extreme suspension of disbelief breaker.

Superman is just the epitome of it.

And don't bring up the terrible excuses for it like "he's holding back" or "he won't kill" or any of that nonsense, you know it's just an excuse as much as the writers do. Looking like he's having a hard time fighting someone weak and letting lots of people get hurt/die because of it and because killing super villains isn't allowed (because they must be recycled) is not believable. To enjoy American comics you must be willing to put this aside, and many people do, but many people can't.

One Punch Man is an obvious parody of this situation, because for someone who has clearly toppled the highest of the highs, he really doesn't have any trouble fighting anyone, rather than have his strength adjusted so there is always drama to the battles.

ChaoticKnuckles posted...
TigerTycoon posted...
The chief problem is often the people who have the most children are poor and uneducated (as one of the reasons they had that many children is because they didn't use birth control, not because they couldn't get it, but because they couldn't be bothered to use it). They don't have the means or ability to raise the children they are having, so even if they are born, these children are born into a life of hardship.

So either children past the second one should be limited based on your income to ensure you actually can support those children, or government handouts should cease if you have more than 2 children that you can't support to discourage you from doing it further.


The problem with that is that it's the kids that suffer in that scenario.

If this is your concern than the first option, it's illegal to have more than two children if you don't have the income to support more, is preferable. Honestly, having even 1 kid if you can't actually support (with both time and money) is pretty irresponsible.
