Donald Trump wants to "Close Up" the internet "in some ways"

[Iroscato]

At the GOP presidential debate in Vegas, he again said "I sure as hell don't want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our Internet, yes sir I am," and later he clarified he does want to close down the internet, but only certain parts in Syria and other countries, not the US.

I wonder how many times one has to get dropped on his head to be like this.

All it takes is a lifetime of having everything and constantly being told you're amazing and wonderful and can do no wrong. Simple really.

You're right. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Jumping to stupid conclusions, like ignoring the part where I said I disagree with him about any censorship on the internet. That disagreement doesn't mean I have to strawman everything Trump says to dislike him.

I think there is a problem that is particularly endemic to this forum where if you don't believe everything negative about someone who people dislike politically, no matter how untrue or fallicious the statements might be, you are supporting them. It's extra-ironic considering that most people would probably consider themselves skeptics on here, but lack all skepticism when it comes to stuff like this.

No, you're right. I just wanted to point out that going in the other extreme is also very silly. The guy is a clown. He's a political caricature. In fact, all of the political cartoons of him are just actual photos of him with a quote of his at the bottom. There's no point in exercising caution and skepticism when approaching an article on him. If the article seems silly, take it at face value, have a laugh, throw it on the mountain, and move on. Unless you'd like to sift through all of his ridiculous quotes to see which ones he really said and which are just his reputation preceding him.

Donald Trump loses court fight against wind farm off golf resort

Sure..because what is electricity compared to the scenic view of super-rich overly-entitled cocksuckers?

"The outcome demonstrates the foolish, small-minded and parochial mentality which dominates the current Scottish government's dangerous experiment with wind energy," the spokesman said.

I honestly don't understand how the human race manages to consistently beat its own record of saying the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

Never underestimate the perpetual, ambitiously-motivated human instinct to excavate beneath the barrel.

I was lost to the Internet a long time ago when I discovered porn.

It's already too late for me, save yourself.

[Cyberman]

There's porn on the internet?

How disgusting - I must go and check it out.

That hasn't had any deleterious effects on me.
