ACA Premium Reimbursement
Today I was refunded a decent amount of last year's insurance premium through my company because our insurer didn't spend enough of their income from premiums on claims. What is going on here that some people are seeing their premiums double while some insurers literally don't have enough claims. Is it just happenstance that this provider only has healthy people? A civil, informed discussion would be appreciated, if at all possible.

Since there's so much rage about the American political situation, I thought I'd change it up a bit. Who do you think the next Australian PM will be?

Every F$&@ing Game Ruined!!!!
Every f$@&ing game ruined by NMR/CD's ... and then the D Bags who get the advantage won't cancel the game! Pathetic guys! You know who you are, and you're freakin' pathetic point grubbing thieves! You can't play win a straight up fight, so you resort to playing when you've got an unfair advantage.

Can we PLEASE create an "auto-cancle" feature so this stops happening?

Extra Terrestial Influence
So I think most of the world is in agreement that the universe is so big that life almost definitely exists on other planets. That question is kind of boring though. The real question is, have aliens had contact with earth in the present or past.
The results are in, and the evidence points to a resounding yes!

Cheating
Why is there such an epidemic of cheating? I've had several games be paused and irreparably damaged by cheating investigations. Can anyone explain why people are so invested in winning that they won't abide by the rules?

Trump's Victory was not because of White voters.
Despite what message the media may be sharing with you about how Trump only won because the white vote watch this video and see if it changes your mind or perception at all.

Maniac 2020
Recent appointments to high office have created controversy among progressive, intelligent people. I'm talking about two things, of course. First of all, the election of Donald Trumpf as Leader Of The Free World (TM). Secondly, and no less controversially, the selection of a new Moderator who was not Maniac.

A Divide
I've seen horrible reactions these past 24 hours. Some celebrate that they have a champion, thinking he will bring this country to its greatest times. Others panic, fearing the same man will erode their rights and encourage persecution which will endanger their lives. Those whose views don't fall into that binary shirk away, fearing their voice is no longer welcome. This thread is about the lofty goal of uniting a further dividing nation.

Okay, I'll bite. I'm left wing as all hell. My wife and I have one of my libertarian friends over every other week for dinner. We talk politics for 10 minutes, agree to disagree, and then drink beer and gossip about our other friends. We are entirely civil the whole time.

He did threaten to write in "Giant Meteor" on his ballot. I'll have to ask him if he went through with it.

I'm even friends with a Trump supporter on the Facebooks, so there.

The point? I dunno. Drink beer, have dinner, tell off color jokes with someone of the opposite political persuasion. Works for me.

Marginalized communities should be afraid. To insist otherwise is to play down the campaign promises of the president-elect. Who should they believe? You or the words that come out of Trump's mouth? He will have the power to ramp up night raids as soon as he takes office.

Aren't you a convert to Islam? I'm a white European by ethnicity and have U. S. citizenship, but I'm very afraid I will be targeted for my Spanish name and political beliefs.

Until someone gets so upset they pull an election of 1860?
I'm not saying you have to agree with everything Trump says or does, and I'm not saying to discount the fear. In fact, on this forum I've encouraged Trump supporters to take the fear seriously. I'm just saying we don't have to be nearly as contentious as this, that we don't have to live practically in two different countries where two very different things are happening when there was only one event. Damage is being done to our country, and it's our fault.

*DIVISION* is a fucking CHOICE. Serously, FUCK all this whiny ass liberals and their fucking "nation divided" bullshit.

You can DISAGREE WITHOUT DIVIDING, but I'm sure that is too nuanced and mature a concept for most SJW liberals.

Here's an example: I disagree with my wife and children about things at times - but we are still and always will be family.

Better point: I think BrainBomb is a ridiculous over the top dolt at times and I agree with nothing that he says politically for the most part -- but I can't wait to meet the goof and have a good laugh over a burger and a pop. He's, strangely, a friend to me, though I've never met him, and I am not "divided" from him.


so seriously -- all this "division" talk -- SHUT THE FUCK UP and tell your whiny ass friends to SHUT THE FUCK UP and GROW UP.

Marching in the god-damned street and pissing people off and disrupting businesses and - worse - calling half the voting nation vile, hateful names is NOT going to solve this so-called division.

God....what a bunch of bitches, seriously...

TrP - blah blah blah....I suspect this is the thought in your pee-brain: "I have a RIGHT to be offended....because I'M RIGHT...and I'M OFFENDED....because I DIDN'T GET WHAT I WANT.....and THOSE BAD PEOPLE ARE MEAN....and I FEEL DIRTY INSIDE...and I'M CLOSE TO CRYING....and THOS PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID IF THEY ONLY SHUT UP AND DID **EXACTLY** WHAT I TOLD THEM....and MAYBE SOME DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WILL GET THEM INTO LINE....and HOW ABOUT WE BLOCK TRAFFIC AND BURN A BUILDING DOWN....



yeah....I think that just about sums up the pathetic self-indulged left wing of America right now....patting themselves on the back for how "righteously offended 'they are.

Fuck off. Run a better candidate next time.

As YOUR BOY in the White House said -- elections have consequences and now YOU can ride in the back of the bus again. That IS what Obama told the Republicans, if you recall. So...turn-around is fair play.

Telling people it's irrational to be afraid for their lives right now, as many are, is the same as if Clinton won and someone walked up to you and said, "What the fuck do you mean you voted for Trump?? You just don't know what's good for you!!"
This isn't about me. This is about a country. The divisiveness that has spawned since the morning of November 9th is something Obama, Clinton, AND Trump all recognize. And they want to try and move together past that. But getting the country behind that is going to be Trump's first major challenge. My biggest fear is that he fails that.

It's not about Trump's policies necessarily, or even him as a person. It's about people who will see this not simply as a policy victory but also as a vindication to treat people like shit. To disparage Muslims, women, etc. It's not all Trump supporters. It's probably not even most. But the sect exists. And they terrify people.

I'm not an extremist. I'm a centrist who doesn't want to watch condescending assholes from opposite ends of the spectrum tear my country apart by refusing to acknowledge what the other side has to say.
Fluminator (1500 D)

Oh for goodness sake, can people stop blaming all the problems and terrible people out there on Trump winning. Stop whining, and go outside and make a difference. Go out and visit a Muslim friend, or volunteer in a place that helps minorities so you can directly comfort them, or make positive posts on Facebook encouraging the minorities that are feeling a little worried right now. (At least that if you can't be assed to go outside.)

Voter turnout was around 50%, and less than half of them voted for Trump. That is a very small population that voted for Trump, and I guarantee you most of them didn't vote for him because they were bigots, but because it was an anti-Hillary vote. The average person is still the same they were a week go, and Trump winning doesn't magically transform Americans into people of hate. Are the people cowering for fear and still crying not noticing the countless people who are upset with them?

I am sick of the "end of the world" posts and how every racist and bad thing people do is because, "Trump has caused this."
These guys are literally as bad as the Republicans I know when Obama got elected.

Go out and find the other side, krellin. Minorities are afraid and in need of comfort of the vast number of Trump supporters who don't hate them to acknowledge their fear and tell them they'll stand by them.

Refugees and Asylum seekers
So i had a thought, under international law, those seeking asylum are entitled to protection if they have reason to fear for their life. Thus pretty much anyone fleeing the Syrian war should probably automatically be granted asylum.

What about LGBT folk from the US, fearing political repression and violence in the streets. Should we (europeans) open our borders?
