I use to believe the Electoral College was an antique system that needed to be dealt away with and go to "1 Man 1 Vote" style of system. But this is the first time I ever really took a genuine interest in politics and the first time I actually looked at the make-up of the country itself…and I have to say. I was dead fucking wrong, I was 100% retarded for thinking the Electoral College was a system we didn't need.

Is it a perfect system? No, and we can work to improve it. But in no way do we need to get rid of it. On the contrary, the Electoral College is essential for us to be a working country.

California issues =/= Utah issues =/= Michigan issues =/= New York issues. Half of the US population lives in metropolitan cities and mega-counties. If we dealt away with the electoral college then these places will be deciding the president every single cycle due to population size alone. Presidential candidates would spend ages in these giant cities to pander for millions of votes and never really go to smaller places. Why would you waste time, energy, and resources going to a farming community for hundreds or thousands of votes when you can go to LA or NYC for millions?

The Electoral College allows smaller pop states to have their opinions and needs heard and forces presidential candidates to spread out to other places and hear these concerns. The tyranny of the majority is a real thing that can happen if we dissolved the Electoral College.

My issues with ME3 went well beyond the ending (though god damn that was a clusterfuck to have to deal with involving bad writing and incohesive reasoning). The feeling of our choices actually mattering was nigh non-existent which was disappointing. The mission tracking was god awful as well as the acquiring of missions just being awkward. And oh my god the having to spam scan to find stuff resulting in being chased by quicker than you and impossible to kill Reapers just made side missions just not even worth bothering with.

As I said, ME3 had a lot of spectacular parts to it, but god damn it is by far the worst in the entire series by a long shot. ME1 is just boring after the first play through, while ME2 has that perfect balance of things that make it a still fantastic game. ME:A will need some major stuff in it for me to be interested in continuing the series.

Been hearing from friends who pretty much waste their life on MOBAs not really say good things about Heroes of the Storm. What are your honest opinions about it? (I myself am a pretty big Blizzard fanboy…Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft will always be a big part of my life)

@Femme:

Make them tougher, perhaps? But I really don't see how an issue like this can be brought to the presidential debate level if it was just a conspiracy. There must be some truth to it.

The only thing remotely coming around to support a "wage gape" was some study that was proven to have done faulty researching. It only amassed income of all men subjects and all female subjects and compared them. IT didn't account for:

1. Part time or full time
2. Field of work
3. Wage rates of jobs
4. Acquirement of raises/credentials
5. Overtime
6. Hours worked per day (as well if weekends or holidays were worked)

And so forth. But because it showed that women were earning less than men, then clearly it meant that women were being paid less.

Trump in the past has been mostly neutral or pro birth control. He rather things get left up to the states to govern themselves on such issues. Likely he only picked up anti-BC to grow support among Republican or conservative supporters. Reasonable to believe that if he were shown that Planned Parenthood does more than just abortions, some good can come out of it. But such issues are taken up more by Congress than President.

I had recently splurged on myself and got Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. But thanks to not having much money to splurge on things, I had to settle for a Xbox 360 version. But still, got up to mission 13 and I can tell I'm really going to be hating these patrols.

I have to admit, Roboblue…that's a very fitting picture for lots of situations.

@Ubiq:

What good does it do to keep the parts everybody likes if there's nothing in there that keeps costs reasonable?

Insurance companies will simply resort to raising prices so much that their customers are forced to drop them rather than openly kicking those customers off because of pre-existing conditions.

No one's political plans ever come to fruition because everything should come to a middle ground. This is what he has done for a living, negotations. We'll have to say what the rest of his legislation after talking. He's making cases that he's willing to talk to both sides about the issue and come to a reasonable conclusion.

We can go days arguing who's fault it is that Obamacare failed or where/when/how it started to poorly effect American people or helped American people. But plenty of people have only met more hardship in the wake of ACA and they ha their chance to make that heard. We'll have to see where this goes. At least he's allowing disccusion.

@Kaiolino:

So you're saying he lies to gain votes like a politician? I thought he was going to tell it like it is.

Also explain what all these establishment GOP ideologues and big banking folks are doing on his future staff. When are we draining the swamp?

I don't see this equates to him lying. He says he will repeal&replace but these 2 pieces are good to implement in the new legislation.
