Sherdog POTWR: Round 2: The Debate

[Ehrmantraut]

When I'm elected president, I vow to deport all the clown ass posters from the sports bar back to where they belong. I'll send @Dr J too. They need someone even weaker to make themselves feel better.

Iol @ this [no offense]. Couldn't hang in the SB so he wants us out of the WR

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

You might have to hurry with Saku before Rizin books him again, if you want to be the one to kill him.





I just tried to search. Can't find anything. You've posted a picture reply once or twice, but never actually engaged me in a thread.

Very Trumpesque of you to be all bark and no bite.

A FUCKING WINNER

No shit? I don't remember him. He must have faded away harder than Eddie did vs Conner.

A lot of these WR lasses are running scared shitless in here. It's unfortunate that they aren't blessed with both the substance and the entertainment. A new era ladies and gents a new era.

He's one of those posters that try to fit in but get laughed out after a couple of posts

No wonder he's so bitter LOL. Not thick enough skin for the SB!

Both Brexit and Trump's election are related to the fact that change processes driven by globalization are accelerating and impacting people's lives. I personally am convinced that this influence has been overwhelmingly positive so far, but there is no denying that free trade and migration are making it more and more difficult to influence anything on a national level. Many people who voted for Brexit imo did so feeling that they were not able to influence politics and outcomes the way it was possible 30 or 40 years ago. And in a way, they are right: The EU does influence law-making, but it is with good reason.

I think Brexit is a mistake and will prove costly and fruitless. I also think many voters were misguided by anti-Brexit media - I had to destroy several threads based on Daily Mail articles with facts, for example. But I understand why the vote came about.

Populism, especially right wing populism, is on the rise in Europe from England to France and Switzerland over Austria to Poland. As a liberal German, I see this as a problem - we know what dark paths this kind of politics can lead to. The European Union has guaranteed peace on the continent for decades. I would hate to see it crumble.

However, there clearly have been mistakes. Expanding to the East and including culturally different Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary was bad, including corrupt Bulgaria and Romania was horrible, and using accession negotiations with Turkey as a tool to keep them close has long been a farce.

Great post. I'm in agreement with most of it, with 2 minor exceptions.

Brexit will be a hard economic pill to swallow in the short term, but I'm not 100% convinced it will be the financial disaster long-term that many predict it will be. If the Brits had a weak economy like some of the eastern EU members then I'd be more likely to agree. My 2nd minor disagreement is about Hungary being culturally different from western Europe. Yeah, the language is pretty alien, but I've spent quite a bit of time there and much of Europe and just don't see a big difference. Mr Orban on the other hand should be launched into outer space. Granted, living in Canada I don't see the everyday differences like you Euros do.

On a different note, you and @Thames have a better mastery of the english language than many native speakers. Pretty impressive.

If you were given the option between Pan, JDrag, Amerik, Jack V, and Palis, which candidate would you choose?

It would be a close race between Pan and Jack, but Jack would edge out because he rustles those conservative Jimmies like no on else. They're both great posters as far as content and intelligence, and either would make a great sticky thread to spark debate. Although I disagree with both of them on policy often, they always put forth a strong case for their side and keep the war room intellectual.

Amerikuracana would be a distant 3rd. He makes ok arguments, but goes full retard too often. The rest aren't even worth mentioning by name frankly.

 

[Dr J]

Very Trumpesque of you

You're right, @Palis is a winner.

@Palis /Dr J 2016

 

[HomerThompson]

I do think about 90% of those eligible to vote will not be reading any of these threads and will just vote when the poll comes up.

They should be about as well informed as the US electorate then. Maybe a little more actually.

LOL, another can running in to defend Palis' honor. It's a shame he can't hack it on his own.

 

[HomerThompson]

This is really hard decision for me.

@Jack V Savage is a great poster who always provide substance. @JDragon is the only candidate who have have shown "high energy" when it comes to thread creating, and you know he will be very active as president. But then again, I also really want @panamaican to tell me how stupid I am.

Hmmm... I will need some answers before I can decide. So candidates, please decide on the following:

Marry. Fuck. Kill.

Fuck Rhonda. Kill Saku. Marry Dana.

Fuck Rhonda because she's the only woman in the group.

At this point, killing Saku would be a mercy killing. It'll save him years of terrible pain trying to hobble around on his broken down body.

Marry Dana in a sham marriage for the cash and access to Russian dimes when they break into that market in the next couple years. Plus, snow in Vegas! What's not to love.

Lol Palis was an established poster long before I started besmirching him in the SB. You're an OT has been who got dismissed from the SB with hilarious ease.

This is the warroom. Who the fuck cares about sport barristas?

Says a lot about the War Room when one of their POTWR candidates can't hang in the best subforum on this site

Your brain is malfunctioning. I only post in the sports book when it's the NBA playoffs or occasionally in the NFL thread. I was in the war room before I was an OT poster.

 

[Lead]

Oh no. If only a system was in place to make sure a different sub forum candidate would emerge and have all his buddies come over to vote for them.

 

[Lead]

@Bald1 , I need an update analysis on where this election has gone since we last talked. Buy sell on who's stock here?

No malfunction here, it's just that nobody pays attention to your moronic posting(s).

Well, Led, I'll try to do this race justice by summing it up as concisely as possible. It's a friggin toss up!

The @Palis / @Dr J ticket seems to be relying on voulme punching and appeal to authority tacticts. Their combination of charisma, humor, and the proposal of a hot chick as WR mascott has them in the lead as of now. "Attack on many fronts, and show cleavage" is my favorite quote from Kenny Florian, and apparently theirs as well.

@Jack V Savage could gather steam in his bid for a unification ticket with @Rex Kwon Do. Imagine if the dark side joined forces with the goody two shoes Jedi! Not sure which is which in that analogy, but they would make a formidable foe to anyone. Not to mention lovely inter-jedi kids. *shudder*

@JDragon also has a great chance to take the whole thing. His mix of communication skills and goal of vetting newcomers is the left kick, H bomb combo in this race. It could end it all in a split second in devastating fashion if his opponents are caught off guard.

Those are the three frontrunners in my esteemed, expert, learned, and most excellent opinion. Oh, and humble as well. Yes, my opinions are humble.

It's anybodys game. Back to you Lead.
