    Maybe not, but in 2013 U.C. Berkley offered the course My Little DeCal: Sociology is Magic (DeCal is a program encouraging student development, with faculty guidance, of non-traditional courses for credit).

    I participated in a number of their sociology projects involving MLP. It was fun.

    Who wants to do damage? Not us, that's lame. No bluster either, we just enjoy our superior quality of life like it's no big deal. :shrug:

    You embellish, but not by much. :)

    Probably.

    So you are telling me that the money I spent on a degree in ponyology from the twilight sparkle academy of equestria is as worthless as a degree from trump university? Well, at least my degree will impress the bronies.

    Damn skippy I am. I'll judge the FUCK out of NeoNazis, the KKK, and anyone who's a regular poster all Stormfront all the live-fucking-long day. And proud of it.
    They do!!

    And in Clinton's opinion - and mine - being a white nationalist anti-sematic racist asshole is reprehensible and if that's a sign of elitism, it's the only one I got so I'ma frame that sumbitch and hang it over my non-existent mantle.
    Yup. Exactly right.
    So they claim. People are pre-disposed to take on faith any claim that supports their preferred point of view. I speak from experience, I used to believe all that hit-squad, Vince-Foster-was-murdered, Mena Airport bullshit like it was the gospel too, because I'd been indoctrinated into a particular worldview.

    Thankfully age and experience brought a little wisdom and skepticism...but I see it doesn't typically work that way.

    Trump's podium was apparently not in the best position either.

    Which is true, it wasn't in Berlin in the 1930s.

    A. Reading comprehension - get some. Being one of those things makes you deplorable, thus I'm perfectly correct to label them thus. It's not like deciding arbitrarily that half his supporters are deplorable and then tryingt to figure out what makes them deplorable.
    B. if you're such a gullible rube that you don't realize that one dude lying about donating to Clinton was just trolling, then your connection to rationality is about as tenuous as guturner's, or Trump's
    Subjectively? What's your first language? Clearly English is giving you some issues.
    The man who bitches about subjective labels feels the need to apply one. :)
    I dunno. But if you support Trump you've made common cause with them.

    what I was wondering was why his podium mic was so low and why he kept bending down to it - two mikes make it easy enough to be heard.

    Please tell me you were just trolling and not really that stupid. Although I can believe it. Fox News pundits were. It was so bad their VP had to send out a memo explaining that those self selected internet polls aren't valid. Seriously? That had to be explained? No wonder Fox News viewers are less informed than no news viewers. Even the newscasters are idiots.

    Real polls are starting to come out. And so far every single one has shown movement towards Hillary. Think it will end up as big as Hillary's nomination bump?

    That's inexperience. Even though he's been on reality TV for a long time he's never had to stand behind a microphone.

    Come off it, what the fuck's he been doing at his rallies for the last half-year? Using a megaphone?

    Your ass has been stretched so wide for Trump there's way it'll fit the pixel limit.

    More anti homo comments from Hitlery supporters. :jayzus:

    Thankfully Trump is now welcoming the queers to the Republican party unlike the Demonrats who want more Orlando night club shootings.

    What's good for me is good for America. Hillary would make things worse for me, so long ago voting Trump become an easy call (repeal obamacare, retract insane and destructive presidential fiats, etc.); but now I'm almost hoping for Trump win just to spectate the fallout at WF, rather than more practical reasons like the well being of the US economy.

    Sound was affected inside the hall room, not the live feed.

    Except that it only affected the volume level for the audience inside the hall. It didn't cause his constant sniffling (which from Hillary would have made the blogosphere explode with "OMG she's dying!"), his nervous shuffling, his barely coherent answers, or his interrupting Clinton like an impatient toddler.

    Clearly, I was implying Ramen had stretched out his own ass (likely through having his head shoved up there for the majority of his sad existence), since obviously Trump's tiny... hands... would not suffice. This is in no way a slur on homosexuals but instead on Ramen's questionable personal taste in sexual partners, be they male, female or porcine.

    Yeah because noticing your voice going in and out over the speakers would have absolutely no effect on the audience or become a distraction.

    Its effect on the live audience would have no impact on the TV audience.

    So the sound for the audience that actually mattered wasn't affected. Meh.

    for the sound inside the room.

    But hey, I for one hope that he sincerely believes that caused all his problems Monday and he decides not to change anything.
