If we were to create a barrier for entry, let us say by charging people an arbitrary amount of money, like say $10, it would ensure we only get the best posters who take what they are saying seriously.

See, in this system, your vote doesn't actually affect anything, so just vote for whoever.

I started the debate thinking all monkies in sailor uniforms look like a Frenchman but was finally convince it's actually all French men look like a monkey in a sailor suit.

Did I not say that Bullshit expands to fill the bandwidth available? Burn your television, get off the net, make your own decision. or throw your television out of the back of a speeding SUV, which is especially amusing if it's one of the big old CRT machines. ... We actually did this on the 105 freeway in the seventies when it was first built, fresh and white and smooth as a baby's butt, not a single oil spot, out the back of a 1962 button-shift AMC gunboat station wagon with a leaky fuel tank. Giant big old tube 15 inch B/W RCA entertainment console five feet long. We were drunk as poo poo. I had to use both legs to get a good hearty eject. It tumbled and shattered into a cloud of deadly flying debris. It was great. zimboe fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Aug 3, 2016 |

We built a wall with a big fat door, to keep all the talented posters here, overall it is a system that works with the careful eyes of our Iron Fisted mods who watch our every poop stain on this digital canvass of posting.

Although surely the republicans spent equal amounts of money astroturfing their candidates only to have Trump kick their asses anyway. Could it be that grassroots support does trump everything?
