You should get your friend to read a couple of the threads on this board. His eyes world probably start bleeding.

we've laugh about it a few times.

the cool thing is that even when we disagree on topics or points of a topic, quite often we can come to some sort of conclusion because we actually listen to what the other person has to say and can recognize when our opinions have been trumped (HA!) by facts and accurate data. it actually makes it fun to debate.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

If you think Hitler was a socialist, you don't know what socialism is.

Actually Hitler's political party started out as a Socialist/Nationalist party. Once they were able to oust/jail all political opponents over time it became a dictatorship. There is a fine line between these ideologies.

This is a great read: Read it in my poli sci class 15 years ago, just read it again recently. Crazy series of events.

The fact that Hitler and the Nazi party started out (I don't agree with this assertion at all, as the SDP was Germany's real Socialist party, the German Workers Party was founded as a right-wing party to counter communists and despite having socialist in their name, were fascists, but lets give you the benefit of the doubt and say they were socialists) as Socialists, and transformed into a Fascist Dictatorship doesn't change the fact that Hitler wasn't a socialist.

If you appeal to people using socialist rhetoric, or co-opt a socialist (arguably) party as a way to fulfill your fascist agenda, You're just a fascist. Period.

The Nazi party was no more of a socialist party than the BC Liberals are a liberal party.

Hitler WAS a Socialist. Just like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) is Democratic and the "German Democratic Republic" (East Germany) was Democratic. Just becuz you put a word in your name automatically makes it so.

The BBC ran a pretty interesting article that points out that, if one neglects his extreme stance on immigration and foreign policy, Trump is actually the most social liberal Republican candidate we've ever seen…

It's true, Trump is fairly liberal socially. I think the problem with analyzing Trump and his positions to any degree is that you are ignoring the more important issue that he is a jackass with zero proven ability to lead or compromise.

And a serial liar, so how could one even figure out his policy - you know, if he actually laid one out for all to see.

It's amazing how he consistently changes the topic when asked a question and he's not pushed on it.

Not seeing Republicans acting like this at Clinton's gigs. What other side would you be alluding to?

That's because they're too busy sexually assaulting 15 year old girls and shouting "N*gger lover".

Police in Janesville, Wisconsin, are searching for two Donald Trump rally attendees who pepper sprayed and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old anti-Trump protester outside the Republican presidential frontrunner’s rally on Tuesday. Video of the incident shows other apparent Trump supporters shouting “bitch” and “nigger lover” to the teenager as she attempts to walk away with pepper spray in her eyes.

well let's be accurate here, i didn't see anything in the linked article talking about sexual assualt. plus if you watch the vid, the girl threw a punch first, then got pepper sprayed.

Then you need to dig deeper. Global seems to be the only news source that left out the fact that she yelled "you touched my chest" (or something similar) before the punch.
