i think kanye gets an unfair bad rap for saying stupid shit

he meant that he thinks experiencing something or someone is more important than reading about it, but you always gotta hear about people taking his quotes out of context.

that "george bush doesn't care about black people" quote was pretty whack tho

Plant the seeds.


This will probably surprise you, but apple seeds from nice fruit often will make trees that bear terrible fruit. Apple orchards are expanded through grafting.


Knew about the grafting, did not know about the terrible fruit bearing.

But they don't have to taste nice to sell anyways.

This is a good point. He needs to reveal the long-form of his mixtapes.

the only post i'll make in this thread bc i just don't like talking politics as my dad is around 24/7 and anything that he doesn't like, he'll start throwing a tantrum.

the two that i think will make it to next year is Sanders and Carson, and I think Carson will pull it off.

do not ask for a reply from me nor expect one. i said i was only gonna make one post and this is it.

I think in a Sanders vs Carson scenario, the latter will win, but I also think the likelihood of this happening is non-existent.

Jeb vs. Hillary is almost 80% likely imho. Trump has a small chance at a nom but almost none at winning. The only reason he is doing well now is no one takes the gop seriously.

I'd be happy to take the "Someone other than Jeb" bet. I think he probably has the highest chance of any individual republican, but nowhere near a commanding chance that would make him an 80% favorite ALONE much less in tandem with Clinton. I'd put Clinton winning at maybe 75-80% by itself.

I don't think people really weigh things probabalistically very well.
