1. Real demons are not "horned creatures", idiot. You've been watching too much trash like the Hellraiser movies it seems. Demons are fallen angels, moron. They don't have "horns" and yes, they're as real as you or me.
2. It was his father, Billy Graham, who believed that there was a real demon inside the film strip of the movie The Exorcist. Not he, himself. I made that clear with my post.
3. Although I most certainly believe in demons (in fact, I know they exist), I don't necessarily believe that one was inside the actual film roll of the movie. Though I do think it's an eerily strange coincidence that so many unusual things happened during the making of a movie which is about the devil (the head demon) possessing a little girl, including many bizarre deaths of those who had something to do with it.
Ooh, this is fascinating information:
Marco Rubio has no ground game in Iowa
There’s reportedly a joke going around among Iowa Republicans that Marco Rubio must be running for mayor of Ankeny, the Des Moines suburb where his sole Iowa office is located. Defying Iowa’s tradition of retail politics, Rubio also rarely holds campaign events outside of that area and is choosing to invest in television ads over staffers and offices in the state. Rubio is making a deliberate gamble that Iowans will brave the cold on his behalf this Feb. 1 simply because they saw his advertisements or debate performances on television, not because they have seen him in person or heard from his campaign.
Assuming a per-ad cost equal to the average rate paid by the Obama campaign in October 2012, it cost $672,446 to earn the same increase in vote share using ads as by opening a new field office — which costs only about $21,000 to operate throughout an election season. In spite of this evidence, Rubio and his super PAC allies have made a $10.6 million bet on TV ads, while Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have spent less than a million combined on the airwaves.
This is certainly good news for Cruz, Trump, Clinton... anyone looking to take him on and who's got smarter preparations, in short.
(National Review says similar is true for both Iowa and New Hampshire)
A young man with his pants hanging half off his rear, two gold front teeth, and a half inch thick gold chain around his neck, walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job. I don't like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing."
The social worker behind the counter said "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2014 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes."
"Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say, but you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bull-shittin' me!"
The social worker said, "Yeah, well . . . You started it . . . . “
Funny thing: Welfare doesn't provide near the quality of life that well-paying jobs do, and many jobs are low-paying enough that a big chunk of welfare recipients are people who work, just can't get by anyway because pay is so crappy (and no, 'just move to a higher paying job' is not a large scale solution).
An investigation looking for people unfairly sneaking onto welfare found... bubkiss. Well under 1%. Not exactly what you'd expect if people were leaping for the chance to be on welfare, eh?
Anyone who thinks most people 'prefer' to be on welfare isn't paying attention. To qualify, you need to be in a fairly poor position, and it won't bring you to a nice one, just a less-bad one. People use stories like the above to provide excuses to not look at the situation, because the actual statistics indicate way more people would rather work than you'd assume.
Putin and Trump getting along.
Finally someone Putin respects since he's shitted all over Obama for 8 years.

Yeah, that logic makes a lot of sense. Putin after all wants as strong a president in the US as possible, otherwise he could take too much freedoms. Whoever Putin thinks is best Americans should vote for, though maybe consult Xi Jinping first, if he's cool with it.
Putin is an infinitely better leader than Obama is. Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying to themselves. Not saying Putin hasn't done anything wrong though. Invading Ukraine was a pretty thuggish move considering he broke the treaty by doing so. Obama had to open his big mouth acting all big and bad and warned him not to break it or else there'd be consequences. Putin practically laughed at him like everybody else does and didn't hesitate to invade. No one respects Obama.

Yea cause its so bad to find someone that can be diplomatic and strong to Putin, you just like seeing Obama bend over to him on a daily basis. Putin came in and stole the middle east from Obama😂
Originally posted by Time-ImmemorialYou realize what Bardock is saying is that if Putin endorses a candidate he probably isn't pointing out a candidate he actually fears. So if he says Trump is the best leader on the field that probably means Putin believes he can control him the easiest.

Which may or may not be true. I don't know what Putin is up to although I would take whatever he says with a grain of salt.
Also before you declare Putin the winner of the middle east you should probably wait and see how it plays out.

Idk, I think you are buying too much into the image Putin would like to portray, really Russia is a bit in a corner, and not in such a great position at all.
Agreed. After the unfortunate incident in Sinai, Putin waited long enough before acknowledging that the plane was bombed. After that, Turkey shot down one of their jets. He looks impotent in the middle East.

Russia's in trouble and these moves of Putin's have reduced it's influence, while the US has cut it's unemployment in half and gotten a treaty with Iran, it's international influence has not decreased in the same period.
You don't like Obama and interpret that as everyone not respecting him, but they're listening to us easily as much as they did under Bush.

Race relations at a 20 year low under this idiot of a president.
Overt race relations are low because cameras are catching a lot of stuff that used to be unreported, and because racists are having backlash at the idea that a black man can be a president, legitimately, and don't like it when they're being called on treating the black president very unequally. You don't think all that birther crap is a lot of the reason people are calling racism?
Noticing stuff that was always going on =/= things are getting worse, the streets are not any worse, if anything better, than they were 20 years ago (it's just they really sucked for black people 20 years ago too), and people loudly complaining about a black man being president using highly racial terms tend to get them called on racism.
Blaming Obama for you guys being racist in response to Obama is.... special. While, technically, it wouldn't have happened if we just kept electing white presidents indefinitely, it definitely misses the point ^^

And so Because Bardock said it, this is fact?
