Rubio, VAT tax will happen, and it's not on the individual, you're an idiot. -- nm* - MDH Jan 14, 19:51 2
- I would say there's more chance of the flat tax passing than the VAT -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 14, 20:39 1
  - Let's just say this, there's a reason the Big 4 all have VAT teams, and that those VAT teams are highly in demand by large US corporations. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 20:42

  - I don't think AA gives anything in the back domestically do they? -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 19:59 6
    - Maybe a reach around. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 20:23
    - Correct. I've flown them a lot lately, they give nothing. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 20:15 1

    - for food, looks like they're all-pay, too. (bend to peer pressure, AA!) nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 14, 20:06 2
      - ^except, as I think may be the case for ual, if you have status: - b. Jan 14, 20:07 1

- So, is "Latin America" the new PC? -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 14, 19:29 19
  - If anything, it's less PC, because "North America + Latin America" implies that Mexico, Cuba, etc aren't part of North America -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 19:48 7
    - although whenever I see "PC", I think "to who's standard?" since every group has its own shibboleths and phrases they hold fast to as "proper". -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 19:53 6
      - My personal definition of PC is "politeness that I happen to disagree with" -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 19:57 5
        
        it doesn't have to be polite though - Reagen Jan 14, 20:01 3

        it's just the new code for "i want to be able to call black people n***er like the good old days" - slipping jimmy Jan 14, 20:17
        
        like if Trump started using the phrase "undocumented aliens" without sneering, he'd be savaged - Reagen Jan 14, 20:16
        
        I like that. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 20:00
  - asking seriously: for what? it's been called that for forever. -- nm - b. Jan 14, 19:41 1

  - It's like Italic America, which is America, but tilted slightly to the side. -- nm* - Reagen Jan 14, 19:36
  - I don't think it has anything to do with PC. It's a rather common term -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 19:34
I've watched 5 minutes of this debate (just had dinner), it's so nice knowing none of these people will be President. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 18:58 20
- That Trump statement was actually the best politicing he's done all cycle. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 19:08 2
  - It was demagogic bullshit tho -- nm - mud Jan 14, 19:09 1
    - Yup, and the crowd ate it up. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 19:12
- I don't share your confidence. I think Trump tops out in the 35% range. Less sure about some of the others. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 19:01 8
  - The only candidate the Dems need be the least concerned about is Rubio, and he's been faltering as of late. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 19:02 7
    - If Hillary does not stop repeating her taunts of 2008, Bernie might surprise. - Spawn Solo Jan 14, 19:05 5
      - I don't think Bernie has a lick of a chance in the South. - Krusty Jan 14, 19:11 1
        
        Perceptually, a lot depends on Trump. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 14, 19:17
      - The most shocking thing of this entire election cycle is how Bernie gets high numbers among young voters. - Bacon Jan 14, 19:06 2
        
        He is ne and hip to the youth. Hillary is grandma that has been arounf 4eva. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 14, 19:09 1
        
        kids are stupid -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 14, 19:10
    - the ML jinx is strong -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 14, 19:03
- they sound like a bunch of drunk retarded fascists -- nm - mud Jan 14, 19:00 6
  - they're like the robot that Spock feeds the logic paradox to -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 14, 19:05 1
    - haha, I remember that. A couple of them look like daleks to boot! -- nm - mud Jan 14, 19:08
  - WTF happened to Ted Cruz, did he lose his mind even more in the last 2 hours? (or however long this debate has been on) -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 19:02 3
    - He started the debate responding to a question about jobs by ranting about his disgust at seeing the 10 navy sailors in the hands of the Iranians and - pmb Jan 14, 19:08
    - His Canadian mind can't translate to American -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 19:05

- Watching someone as beautiful as Melissa Benoist on this show would be like watching Gilmore Girls if it was really REALLY bad. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 18:57 2

    - Seriously, dude? She's probably the most beautiful woman on tv right now. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 19:46
Is there a good app that will let me share my iPad browser tabs in Firefox? -- nm - Davi Jan 14, 18:50 3
- Unfortunately, none that I'm aware of; though I thought I read a while back that FF was working on a browser for iOS. - The Death Sceire Jan 14, 20:11
- Does it have to be FF? I use Chrome across all platforms and share tabs/bookmarks. I assume mobile FF does the same, no? -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 19:48

Did Rick James cover Brick House? I ask because Terrance Howard did the song on Lip Sync Battle and was dressed as Rick James. - Krusty Jan 14, 18:46 4

aw, crap, I went to see what happened with nominoptions, and I forgot how sad it is to see a starbond delisted. :( - -- nm - b. Jan 14, 18:46 2
- It does kinda feel like somewhere between "your fired" and a mafia hit -- nm - Professor Snipegeist Jan 14, 20:32

- heh, yeah. the girl showed that to me yesterday. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 18:49 4
  - I'm not sure why Rachel Notley doesn't simply demand oil be $100 a barrel. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 18:50 3
