Pretty much.

"Hey [non-homogenous political group], you supported [reasonable, popular belief] so are you willing to accept responsiblity for the consequences of [extreme, unpopular belief]?"

It's a clumsy and malicious wielding of an argument from absurdity that fails to acknowledge the extensive productive and practical space in between the two positions.

Person A- "maybe starving poor Iranian citizens won't get their government to abandon their nuclear program"

Person B posts article about a gay man killed in Iran - "I didn't realize the left hated gays now!"

How much are swim clubs by you guys?

We just joined one for $600 for the both of us for the summer and that seemed reasonable

That sounds like a lot. What's included? At clubs with only outdoor pools (and hence seasonal passes) it's @300-400 for a family of 5 here (@$200-250 for individual adults). Year long passes for indoor facilities which include olymipic pools, diving, sauna and a gym are $800-1000 for a single adult (all AUD obviously).
 
Found another apartment downtown that looks nice but it's like... $200 more than I would want to pay. I could make it work financially but it wouldn't leave a lot of wiggle room financially.

I hate the poll question. Sorry.
BWR is a great guy on the whole and I know nothing of his mod performance but the pillow thing is just sad all 'round although it appears to have positive knock on effects so it's all good on balance, IMHO. Now, before I read the next 12 odd pages and likely missed as many of the last thread, who wants to catch me up? What have I missed?

Shadface pillow was up for grabs because the winner of shoop competition passed on it. Creator of said pillow created a poll saying "why should you get it? Say why".
Hockey linked the poll here and smashed everyone by a large margin including BWR. This made BWR throw a tantrum and accuse Hockey of cheating etc.

TS did the right thing, gave the pillow to Hockey but set up a sham poll round 2 (hockey vs BWR) with a new prize. That was unleashed on fight night and it was clear BWR would win it. It was billed as Shoop vs War Room, though, therefore high turnout.

I am sure BWR is a great guy and everyone makes bad calls, but that was just painful to see. He threw a tantrum over..
a pillow.

The fee just covers access to the outdoor pool. There is a cash restaurant and bar there to buy food and drinks. I can bring guests if they pay a $10 guest fee
 


WHY DID I HAVE TO START WATCHING THIS SHOW WHEN IT GETS STARTED RATHER THAN WAITING 3 YEARS SO I CAN JUST BINGE IT?! ARGH

He then proceeded to gloat about winning the second poll which, imo, makes him a certified bitch made boi.
