I want my film adaptations to follow the source material. I still do, but as I said in the Bond topic, as long as the US is the shithole it is, that kind of stuff doesn't matter and now I make a conscious effort to not waste my time being mad at a trivial matter.Silentpony said:
Aaaannnd he's against the spending outright, not just making sure we can fund a bloated military. In this case, he doesn't disagree with it, he simply wants to actually try and offset the cost, to my understanding.Saelune said:
Latter I can see. Former, well, there are a lot of things you can cut for money saving. Question is, what is worth money and what isn't? Immigration Enforcement is probably something you want funded, if differently.
Sad part is, I wish Republicans still wanted smaller government and taxes. Rand Paul is mostly in his own league, compared to the rest of the company he's keeping.
A lot more than that, Saelune. We all care, but at many points you've seemingly turned away a very large portion of the forum, particularly people that I know are actually good folks and certainly don't agree with me on a lot of things, but you turn them away nonetheless. We cannot help you if you do not want to help yourself. That's the truth.
Well, your mind is set on that. No use trying to change it.
I don't see any actual support from him, only wiggling to get his seat to handle Iran. If you're gonna talk about that, we have a lot of things to talk about regarding how Politics is almost never leaving people spotless.Saelune said:
Pretty much, but Rand Paul isn't even a Libertarian. He just holds the label and swings it around to get attention. The Libertarian label has pretty much died off anyway, what with a lot of them turning full on white nationalist. There's a reason why the people behind the Tea Party movement have gone from saying they're "Libertarian" and now call themselves "Classical Liberals".Saelune said:
I've only ever seen him come close to supporting military action against ISIS, which I would imagine you agree with.Saelune said:
I don't exactly see much support here. Kiss-assery? Sure.
Should we go to war with Iran? Because that's what's on the table here. Do you want Trump, or Rand Paul to be handling this?
Neither of them should even be politicians anymore. I think we're safer with neither at the helm. If 'Going to War with Iran' was a car, and it was between those two driving, I would feel safer letting the car go driverless.Leg End said:
So just to be clear, you actually agree with people who think its bullshit a black woman is the new James Bond, as the source material is Bond is a white man, but only object because they should have better things to complain about...Saelune said:
I think there are two people who are mad at that stuff, people who want to respect the source and would get mad if they turned a black character white or a female character male, and there are bigots who just hate women and minorities but are perfectly fine with all the historical examples of media white-washing. For example, I do not think casting a white woman as Major Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell was following the source material either. She is very explicitly Japanese.Silentpony said:
