    I understand the appeal of strong style, but it kneecaps the finesse and beauty that wrestling is capable of capturing.

    I don't think it'd bother me if someone assassinated Donald Trump. Just to be clear, I don't want it to happen, I hope it doesn't happen and I would never encourage anyone to do it. I know that it's also a terrible thing to say when you get down tot he nuts of it but it's just the way I feel. Donald Trump is a deplorable human being who cares nothing for the troubles and issues of other human beings unless those troubles or issues are somehow about him or impact him in some ways. The way he coldly and calculatingly says or does things without a care as to how it affects so many makes him, in my opinion, completely unsuited for his position.

    This whole thing with separating kids from their families who cross the border and to listen to racist pieces of shit like Jeff Sessions actually try using biblical scripture to justify doing it makes me sick. I do agree that we need immigration laws and that there are ways that enforce those laws that don't lower our standing in the world. Don't get me wrong, I know that the United States isn't this paragon of virtue where injustice can find no root and equal opportunity is available to everyone, but all something like this does is reinforce, strengthen and, in some cases, create resentment towards us as a nation and a people. It's not as though we don't deserve some resentment considering how many of us Americans, usually very conservative politically, walk around proclaiming to the rest of the world that we're basically the only thing that matters, that our ways are the only real ways and that the rest of the world should be grateful for the scraps we let it have. People like Trump only make it worse and yeah, I can honestly say I don't thin I'd feel the least bit bad if the guy up and croaked.

    Two things:

    Trump didn't start the child separation stuff. It's been going on since the late 90's. Perhaps you remember Elian Gonzales?

    The US immigration laws are the most lax in the Americas. It's really hard to move to most countries. It's relatively easy to move to the US. '

    I don't think Trump is any more or less deplorable than most people in politics at the moment when you judge him overall.

    I can respect that he wants to try and reestablish America as a self-reliant nation that doesn't have to rely on imports, for the benefit of the workers and to not be reliant on the growing power that is China, and I think the UK could definitely learn from that. And I think he serves as an interesting case study of how corrupt our crony current establishment is given the sheer amount of hyperbole he has to deal with from the media.

    With that said, the guy plays the idiot. He's not an idiot, but he plays one for the sake of populism, which I simply abhor. Politics needs actual standards and pragmatism more than ever given our current climate, and tweeting about how random celebrities are mean to you only makes the situation even worse. It just makes the retards on the left and the right scream louder at each other, and creates more conflict. The only people that benefit from that are the very worst that capitalism has to offer.

    I honestly think most of the people on the left deserve Trump for how simply appalling they've been towards anyone who disagrees with them, even moderate leftists and centrists who disagree with them, but that doesn't mean he's in any way a good president. He's essentially a punishment that the left needs to learn from, and as a liberal myself, we need to actually learn from this and understand WHY he came to power. Instead of being judgemental fucks like SJW's who thinks that anyone who voted Trump was stupid, we should actually propose something prospective going forward. Bernie Sanders was on the right track, and while he's probably too old to run again, I think Elizabeth Warren would be a good choice for the Democrats to run against Trump. She'd be FAR better than Hillary, that's for sure.

    It's far better than the failed abortion that is 3. I don't think I laughed once whilst watching 3.

    Sex scenes are a poor attempt to keep viewers interested in a show. It most often does nothing to further the plot. At its worst, it undermines a series and leaves a terrible lasting impression. Example, and another unpopulor opinion, is that Sense8 beat viewers to death with it. I challenged myself to binge it and yeah, the premise was compelling but completely overshadowed by tits and ass equality. When a show hammers the subtext over and over there is a turning point where it becomes parody. We get it, everybody screws. Not really a spoiler as it has nothing to do with the big picture, but when your final shot of a series is the camera lingering on a strap-on dildo with cum on it, whatever subtext about love you have going goes out the window. I watched high class porn, and now instead of looking back at what the show was trying to say about identity, I'm going to think "this show had a lot of orgies in it."

    Shrek 3 is easily the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. Just awful all around.

    Out of all the CSI shows, CSI: NY was the best one.
