The off topic thread

Was watching an episode last night just before bed at about 11PM. At the end flashes across 'in memory of Doris Roberts' was a real 'wtf when did that happen' moment. Played her character well.

Yeah, she was great. Fantastic chemistry with all the cast. Her and Peter Boyle were the perfect match in the show.

MARIE. WHERE'S MY SANDWICH?

I seem to be one of the very few finding it hard to be interested in the US election race.

How is the race not interesting?! It's going to have a huge say in the way International relations are carried out for the next 4 years, particularly if Trump gets in!

 

[Cruyff14]

I mean more in the regard that I haven't paid any attention to it/followed it.

 

[jd2010]

I do find it hard to care for elections/politics outside of the countries I am living in or have lived in.

I get they are massive on a global scale but i dont give 2 shits about the US

Mally has called for a July 2 election.

lol how's Tara Brown (60 mins reporter) having a cry about not having a hairbrush in the Lebanese prison - “I don’t even have my hairbrush in here,” she said. “Did they seriously think we have some sort of beauty salon here?”

Think you've got more pressing issues to worry about love.

ohh Tara

Lebanon might not have a hair brush for you Tara. But with a couple of letters added and taken from your problem there's no short supply of hairy bush!

His policies are by far the best. But I just cant get behind a a guy that is about 3 years younger than the male US life expectancy

Plus and I know it shouldnt really matter but the President should be an intimidating bloke. When you are the leader of the free world and the most powerful man on the planet, you should have an aura about you. Bernie Sanders just looks like your grandad who has lost his hearing.

 

[jod23]

Cool, I borrowed my little brothers DVD sets, just finished them the other week.

Funny I never really warmed to shows like that over the years, the culture seems to bandwagonish

I won't watch Breaking Bad for etc.....

So I take it you enjoyed GoT?

I wouldn't say Bush had an aura about him. But at least his political party would expect he'd live the full 4 years. Sanders is at the age where he could die of natural causes and nobody would be shocked

Yeah Bush was a joke. An actual joke. No idea how the US voted him in. Obama has a presence about him. Sanders is just old as ****. How can you expect him to stay relative with what is going on. Particularly in matter concerning the youth of the world.

 

[jod23]

Also has anyone watching any of Zombie Nation? Worth it?

Really? Sure he looks old, but he's got a ferocity and sterness about him that can be quite intimidating. Clinton and Trump hardly make you quake in your boots.

Are you ****ing kidding? Lol. Have a look at his policies, then re-read what you just wrote, and then shave your head and go to sleep.

He obvs has great advisors helping him with youth issues as he was born in like 1918. Hahah.

You cant elect someone who has a realistic chance of dying of old age while in office.

Ferocity and sterness??

It looks like he has just got some socks and pack of toffees for xmas from his grandkids and he is just absolutely chuffed about it.

1941. Shit, he's only 8 years older than my Dad!

Your second point is correct, your first is way off. He has been campaigning on these sorts of issues throughout his entire time in office. These aren't just lines he's being fed to appeal to the youth. The nature of his fundraising is also hugely significant as he has no ties to lobby groups.

Man in publicity photo smiles nicely. Stop the presses!!

As already touched on, GWB was hardly intimidating and Trump is just an embarrassment to laugh at, and Clinton looks like the kind of old lady that you'd get your daughter to sell girl scout cookies to.

Oh I agree. Trump looks like an idiot. GWB actually looks thick. Like when you look at him, you think to yourself, he's not the brightest young man. Hilary looks fake. Downright fake.

Bernie is probably the best of a really bad bunch. Shame Obama just cant run again. Bloke is legit.

So which of Obama's policies have you liked the most? What do you think he offers America going forward? What do you think Obama's net impact has been on America over his Presidency?

Honestly mate, it's nice to see you getting involved in the discussion, but you've yourself admitted you don't know much about US politics so it looks a bit daft when you read some of the stuff you're saying. Sanders would be much better than Obama. He's 74, not 90.

My favourite policy of his in his Free Trade Unions Policy. That was great. What Obama offers America going forward is security and wealth and education. His net impact cant be summed up in words. But if I had to say like out of 100% it's like 84%. That's pretty good net impact.



I just comment from the outside looking in. Hence my observations being superficial and talking about how old he is and what he looks like. I dont know any of their policies and shit. I just hate politics.

74 though is old as ****.

Security, wealth and education? Obama's drone policies and interventionalism in the Middle East and Africa has been no better than Bush before him. Wealth? America's debt levels are ridiculous, and Obama's bail outs have only worsened the situation. Education? America is ****ed when it comes to education.

He has worsened the partisan nature of Congress, it's at its worst in decades. Nothing is pushed through because of the intense disparity between the parties, and his attitude hasn't helped the situation.

74 is old. However if he doesn't become President Sanders won't retire to Florida or something like that, he will continue to serve. So, y'know, if he's not too old to continue work in his current position don't really see the issue.
