2017 PotWR Round 4: The General Election

[HomerThompson]

Its a great topic but the problem is there's the rest of the WR for that kind of discussion. One idea I had as I realized I was going to lose anyway was to include discussions on historical topics. Since the WR is geared around current events and issues history only comes up occasionally and only insofar as its relevant to some current event. But those are my favorite discussions.

I'm updating the topic every week, my man. There is certainly room to have multiple weeks dedicated to different historical discussions. In fact, I insist. I guarantee I will make at least 6 distinct threads dedicated to historical discussion, and you can pick one of the topics.

Not well and it was a while back. I used to make him copies of dvds with fighters he was going against in his early ufc days (trig, etc). He called me his mma spy.

I got to train with him a few times and spar (I have been punched in the face by GSP lol).

But I would say more that I was more friends with many of his friends, basically the same montreal mma circle. Firas (his coach now), David Loiseau, Ivan Menjivar, Nordine Taleb (we used have wars lol), etc. ha good times.

Are you that huge guy in that famous GSP picture?

It's a close one folks! Our two candidates are duking it out in the trenches for the one one sticky to rule them all, and shit's getting serious. The smears are coming out in their many forms. "You're a snitch" is countered by "you like deplorables". Private messages are getting labelled safe saces. One candidate believes the ends justify the means by wearing out his report button while the other is fighting an uphill battle by supporting uncomfortable voices in principle alone. There's clear collusion afoot with a major outlet supporting lunacy dressed up as sanity.



This is too close to call folks as both candidates are seeing votes coming in from both sides of the spectrum. All in all this has been a beautiful demonstration of the democratic process with a surprising lack of animosity or heat. Or Russians. Odd, that.

Don't do it @theBLADE1 Vote @irish_thug

I heard Anung was a Russian.

Whoa, that escalated quickly.

 

[HomerThompson]

No, either way. I think you're a good contributor, and I think you would come up with a great topic.

Homer for president

GNN Alert!!!!!

@VivaRevolution , the torch bearer of the “Bernie Revolution” for the POTWR election has endorsed @HomerThompson.

Viva and Homer share common values and aconcerns, including the concentration of political and economic power within the countries elite that threaten to undermine the basic foundation of our democratic society.

Viva also brings with him an additional perspective that will be valuable in creating the guidelines / policies for the war room sticky as well as creating additional policies to further promote an honest exchange of thoughts and ideas in the War Room!!!!

For the sticky, I'd like to do a "Parts Unknown" segment, where posters from foreign countries give candid political and historical updates. They have to be from foreign, intersting places, and credible posters. Like from Turkmenistan, Korea, Uganda etc. If those are hard to find, places like Netherlands, or South Africa.

Are either of the candidates open to this idea?

Yes. Yes I am. We could have them run point on a topic from their country. I absolutely love this idea.
