Since I'm not conservative and i've noticed a trend of how you deal with people who disagree with you (you just accuse them of being crazy right wingers when you're fucking delusional, do you even keep up with politics? I'm unsure) right? No, i'm no sociopath, just unimpressed by the garbage I will admit i couldn't even finish reading because it was the most boring thing i've ever tried to read. Not to mention the fact it costs billions of dollars nobody has to spend in the first place.

"I haven't read the ACA, but I'm going to talk about it anyway. Do you even keep up with politics?"

They didn't even use the world death panels. Somebody with a different opinion than you, not even necessarily one I agree with, asks you a question about your wishy washy stand on something and you immediately group them in with the far right assholes. 30 million more people will have healthcare, and everyone who already has it (far more than 30 million people) will have a lower quality of healthcare. I don't have it and I think that's wrong.

That's a rather sociopathic viewpoint to take, don't you think (and also false, since the notion that private health insurance plans are somehow more shitty now that poor people have them is a nonsensical right wing myth)?

As someone who could never vote for romney in a million years and someone who does NOT watch fox news; you just avoided that question, for what reason? Because the healthcare reform is indeed garbage? Because it is. Just like the old system, it has far too many flaws.

I ignored the question because it was based on a false assumption that the ACA included death panels. That would be like someone saying "What shade of red is the sky?" The falsehoods have to be cleared up before the question can be answered.

As for your statement, it's vague. Who exactly is healthcare reform garbage for, and in what way? Because an additional 30 million Americans who are, or will be, insured under the ACA would probably disagree with you. Any healthcare system will have flaws, because capitalism is flawed, and we should not be selling LIFE to be people. Healthcare should be free for all. But under the given circumstances, saying the ACA is garbage is an extremely privileged (OMG HE USED THE WORD PRIVILEGE HE'S A SOCIAL JUSTICE BLOGGER RUN FOR YOUR LIFE) position to take.

You're clearly a huge stark fan, so I wonder if even you felt a little bad for theon in the scene where he talked about his "captors"? I felt terrible for him, and he's one of my least favorite characters to date.

Theon grew up with a sword hanging above his head.  No matter how kind Ned and the Starks were, they killed his brothers.  From the age of ten(ish), whether he lived or died in a place that was not his home was dependent on his father's good behavior.  Within his own family, love was not offered without condition. 

I always feel bad for Theon...even when he's at his worst.

beleeive replied to your post: So a white second grader in colorado wanted to be...

lmao why did they let him be martin luther king jr just because he wanted to.. Surely they could’ve had a black student do it… I mean casting according to historical correctness is not offensive. .

lmao well judging by the number of parents defending it, I doubt they had many black kids. and then if they did that, the parents would complain that their child was left out because he was white, which would result in another issue.

Is it wrong of me to constantly draw a parallel between the stark family (or at least ned & cat) and conservatives in America? lol. Their was is the old way, honor and family are of the utmost importance.. They dress very modestly (well of course they do, they live in snow year round p much).. Idk, I' love the starks, but I've recently made that connection and constantly run into things that support it lol.

I think that's an interesting thought but I always see the Northerners -and the Starks- as more egalitarian than most conservatives today.  And because everything in the North is geared towards survival with limited resources, there's a more even (kind of) dispensation of wealth -almost a socialist society.  I tend to think of the Southerners as more closely aligned to conservatives in America- the focus on status, name, birthright, power, wealth, religion as a political force...  It's murky water :) but I think you can find parallels everywhere in Westeros, Essos and beyond with our history and our world today.
