You responded by saying that America isn't civilized, then explained that the reason it isn't civilized is because it supports the right of its citizens to slaughter school children. I replied that it doesn't support that right because it outlaws murder, which includes slaughtering school children. You only replied to that by saying that's funny and hilarious. You have not seriously replied to my point that the US doesn't support slaughtering school children because murder is illegal.

I must be a funny guy. Now, are you going to respond to what I've said?

@disgusted
How so? Murder is illegal. Slaughtering school children is murder. Ergo, slaughtering school children is illegal, so it isn't supported by the US.

All of them...except for America. Regardless, an appeal to the majority is meaningless and a logical fallacy. All the civilized countries other than America have restrictions on free speech. I don't want those either. Also, do you have any response to this?ALL of the civilized countries have universal health care.
Using the unrealistic assumption that Medicare for All could continue paying the Medicare rate to hospitals (This assumption is unrealistic because Medicare only pays 87% of the cost of the care, so hospitals would go bankrupt at that rate), Bernie Sanders' $32 trillion plan would save $2 trillion.However, Warren's plan would cost $52 trillion, which would cost $18 trillion. Such a staggering cost would inevitably have very negative economic results, which, as with most economic problems, would have the most impact on the financially vulnerable, who are the very people the plan would try to help. This is why I don't care about how "genuine" the plan is. It would hurt the very people it would try to help. Yes, I will criticize such a plan.

Just a reminder: There was also a conservative majority when Roe v. Wade was decided.

@RationalMadman
Do ou know how huge the US is?
Yes. Around 330 million citizens, if I remember correctly.
Stoo criticising a genuine effort
I don't care two cents about the intentions behind Medicare for All or any other policy. I only care if it works and upholds human rights. If it fails to do those things, which Medicare for All does, I will criticize it.
Stoo criticising a genuine effort to make US finally join other deceloped and civilised nations in giving healthcare to its financially vulnerable..

Nay to all. I agree with Lunatic and Drafter.

Town does get more than one power role. I understood it the same way that Lunatic did: that we would all get a useless role. I think this confusion is yet another casualty of bad grammar.

I reread my PM. I get a type of donut, and I need to figure out the pattern. If I understand it correctly, jelly could be mafia and chocolate town, for instance.

I'm not vanilla. I'm some type of incompetent cop who gets donuts instead of results, whatever that means.

It also didn't help that she announced that her Medicare for All plan would cost $52 trillion dollars in ten years when the previous estimates had been $32 trillion. Somehow, telling people that your plan is 62.5 percent more expensive than anticipated doesn't go over well, especially when it cost $32 trillion to begin with.

@PressF4Respect
Nice code, PressF. However, it's an infinite loop because you forgot to increment num_of_posts or check for it's new value within the loop. You're just going to fill up all the site's storage space and get a segmentation fault.

These are kind of fun. Now I got 121-130 and 138-162. These things are ridiculously inaccurate if I can get a 41 point range.

Drafter was the 6th player, not me. VTL ILikePie5 for this obvious scum slip.

I'm sure there are. Personally, I don't think they're bad characters, although they're not great either (but the Snoke in the How It Should Have Ended channel on YT is).

I just took a different one, answered I don't know on the last several questions, and still got 161, the same area as Albert Einstein. I really don't think these are accurate.

I just took a free one and got 133-149 with the possibility of being higher. It only had 8 questions, so I'm guessing it's as inaccurate as they come.

Weren't you concerned that we would lynch PressF this round and make you lose?

@Speedrace
I'd assumed that PressF would die, so I would need proof that I was town and Pie was scum.

@Speedrace
It means the mafia is a tailor or some similar role.

Actually, there's a 1 in 3 chance of that, so the odds that he's telling the truth aren't that bad.

Technically, Pie could be telling the truth if drafter was the jester.

@Lunatic
If a cop is motivated, can he both cop and use a key? (Hypothetical since you can't be specific)
Created:

@Speedrace
The mafia is almost certain to NK me. It would require WaterPhoenix to motivate me and you to key me so I can both cop and live to tell the tale.

I tracked you to confirm myself. You visited yourself and WaterPhoenix.

That out wouldn't work. If the mafia NKs a towny and PressF is the jester, then the plan would have us vtl PressF. Since he would hammer himself, mafia would lose. If PressF is the mafia, then the plan works. Either way, the mafia can't win.

@ILikePie5
That wouldn't work because the jester would vtl themselves. They want to be lynched, remember?

If they have an out, we need to know what it is so we don't do the plan. If they have an out, then we shouldn't do the plan, so the out won't matter.
