2016 elections.

Why tho? They are legit energy sources. Also these new trash burning facilities. Why the fuck do we need to keep draining our planet of fossil fuels when we absolutely don't need to? Because it creates jobs? What a shit excuse

The job creation aspect is just one of numerous positive aspects.

[Narrock]

Oh, and Arlos. I hate to break the news, but according to the latest FBI stats... violent crime is on the RISE, 3.9%, which is a massive increase. The only crimes that went down are property crimes.

and here is the chart:



ahem:

violent crime continues to decline from peak 90s levels. it is not "surging" by any metric whatsoever. this is a scare tactic. don't fall for it.

according to the latest FBI stats... violent crime is on the RISE, 3.9%, which is a massive increase.

do you have secret fbi stats that no one else has access to? no, you fucking don't. you just don't ever fact check anything.

Here, BITCH. This is a direct quote from FBI.gov:

Crime Statistics

After two years of decline, the estimated number of violent crimes in the nation increased 3.9 percent in 2015 when compared with 2014 data, according to FBI figures released today. Property crimes dropped 2.6 percent, marking the 13th straight year the collective estimates for these offenses declined.

Now STFU about it. :flipoff:

Go ahead and keep regurgitating leftist drivel you find on huffpo, wasington post, chicago times, democratic underground, ny times, and a fuckton of other lying piece of shit rags. You and Arlos are NOTHING but brainwashed, truly tone-deaf to reality, misinformed trolls. Pull your head out of your ass. kthxbai.

[Arlos]

Thanks for going to ad hominem attacks on me, when I haven't done it once to you in what, almost 10 years now? Appreciate that.

[brinstar]

huh, wasn't aware the 2015 data had been released. doesn't really change what i said though: overall, violent crime rates continue to decline since peaking in the 90s

i mean do you just not understand data trends or what? even taking 2015 into account, the fact is that 20 of the last 24 years saw a decrease in violent crime from the previous year. so i guess you can either piss your pants over a 3.9% bump, or you can be glad that you are still less than half as likely to be the victim of a violent crime as you were when clinton took office (and 22% less likely than the year obama took office). guess it depends on whether you're a coward?

go take a statistics class, then talk to me when we reach a point where 15 of the last 16 years saw record levels of violent crime. that's a trend. you know, like how 15 of the last 16 years set new records for the hottest average temperature. moron.

Of course he doesn't understand. None of those rednecks understand. Trump played em all like a deck of cards. Appealed to their insecurities and dated worldviews. Now we get to watch the nation backpedal on humanitarian and environmental issues for the next four years for no reason at all except greed and xenophobia.

[Jay]

Did Donald Trump kill NT?

[Reynaldo]

Was it ever alive since 2005? Obviously Bush killed it....

[leah]

just looking on in horror as the world goes mad

[Drem]

This is shaping up to be a miserable four years

[Jay]

Traffic was pretty consistent up until Trump was elected. Like a stunned silence fell over this board lol.

[brinstar]

traffic here hasn't been "consistent" in a decade lol

also way too busy

[leah]

[leah]

[Drem]

President Trump. Holy shit

[Tossica]

...

I called it as soon as Sanders lost. I won $5 bet. Yay me.

[brinstar]

sanders would've slaughtered him

I think winning the battle and losing the war applies here.

[brinstar]

And come on, Brin, you know a Trump/Nugent ticket would be unending hilarity...

YEAH REAL FUCKIN FUNNY ARLOS
