Per Discovery:
Cetacean researcher Chris Parsons explained the seal tossing behavior to the Earth Touch News Network: "They don’t often eat the seals (after hitting them). But when they hit Dall’s porpoises, they do it to eviscerate them. They hit them so hard that their entrails pop out, which they leave behind after eating the muscle and blubber."

So South Park last night was one of the funniest in years. The asian girls in school start drawing Tweek and Craig as gay... then the whole town gets stupid and hilarity ensues.

Very interesting link. Shows you where your political views line up with the candidates. If yes or no doesn't suffice? Click the more stances option and you'll get other choices.

I've like that crazy Bernie Sanders all along. Good to see he was 1st for me at 75%.

Some interesting results on that survey.

I sided with Clinton and Sanders at the top (91% and 90%) and was with them on domestic policy, social, environmental, economic, foreign policy, science, and welfare issues.

But I sided with Trump (a scary 69%) on foreign policy, immigration, and electoral issues.

Odd that foreign policy would show up for all three of them (unless is very non republican on foreign issues).

the questions are ridiculously leading too.

'Do you want the gov't to stop global warming' or however they worded it. what avg person clicking thru quickly is going to say 'NAH, i think the gov't should let Miami sink in 100 yrs' without thinking about what that actually means?

how about if it was worded 'do you want to pay the gov't more of your tax money to allocate funds and line their own (and close friends) businesses pockets and fuck up all the money that is earmarked for the environment or would you rather allow free markets and the public to dictate how things work?

(granted the environment probably does need some gov't intervention, but you get my point)

at its core, so many social programs sound AMAZING. until you realize they are run by a gov't with no competitor who has no incentive to innovate and has a long history of fucking up every gov't run project they've ever handled.

there needs to be winners and losers in the world... there needs to be incentive for taking risk. rich people aren't 'bad' and i'm not rich so its not a biased opinion. for every 1 person you see with a few hundred million you forget about the 10,000 who attempted to get to that level and failed or spent thousands of hours building a company that didn't work out.

everyone loves shark tank and wants to be an entrepreneur but they seem to lean towards guys like Bernie Sanders. its sort of mind boggling to me.

if you're poor or lower middle class and you want a chance at YOUR world improving, capitalism and hard work is your best way out. if you're just lazy and you want to be taken care of because you're entitled and think you deserve it cause you were born in a great country, then that's a different story. the problem is i'm starting to see alot of the successful hard working guys who don't need the social programs who have fallen into the belief that somehow these social benefits are better for the masses. thats what bothers me more than anything. i can understand someone who isn't educated and has nothing who wants a handout, its whats best for them tomorrow. but i would assume more educated people could make objective decisions for whats best for everyone over the longer term. but maybe thats just optimistic thinking on my part.

there are corrupt democrats and republicans and libertarians and white people and black people and men and women. in my belief, you should find a few core principles you believe in and stick to them. the constitution and capitalism is a pretty solid starting point.

Did you click on the "more options" one at all? Gives you some more choices rather than yes and no. I did that a lot, because like you said, many of them aren't just cut and dry.

I also clicked on more options and there were many more choices.

I am not saying I will vote for him, at this point, not sure who I like the most, but I will say that on many things, I feel the same way that Sanders does.

more about the principles than the candidates.

no political figure is going to be perfect. most are going to suck badly. the goal should be for them not to mess up the structure the constitution, bill of rights and capitalism created.
