No my eyes just glazed over at the wall o’ text and lack of a fucking coherent point.

I’m not surprised that you understood that gobbledygook since that’s 90% of what you post

I stand by what I said. I don't care how much Trump is worth economically, he's morally bankrupt, and no way in hell I'm letting anything with my genetic material near him. I will raise my own children on my own... I mean really... how hard could it be? :p


He’s “morally bankrupt” yet he’s donated more to charity then all the posters on this thread added together

I’d say this gives him a very strong, parent worthy moral character, it’s worth millions

Moral character is not measured in dollars donated to charity. Trump's repeated lies about how much he donates to charity show clearly that his involvement in any charitable endeavour is only about him trying to promote himself.

1. I wouldn't give my kid to anyone else. She's my kid. If I didn't want to raise her, I wouldn't have had her.
2. No. There's more to life than vast sums of money and influence.

The premise also assumes Trump is a profoundly different man than what he is. Sudden shift in personality like that? That's a red flag.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Trump sent a much greater pragmatarian signal (in the millions of dollars) that he cares about charity than any other parent on this thread

that settles it for me; he's far more generous because he's actually got actions to back that up

Its easy to say "I'm more moral than Trump..." yet how much did you spend to back that up? Definitely not in the millions... its easy, cheap, and a bit artificial to brag about moral superiority over Trump when you likely haven't spent even 1,000 dollars on a charitable cause

Trump doesn't care about charity, he cares about himself, and he thinks giving to charity makes him look good.

that settles it for me; he's far more generous because he's actually got actions to back that up

You're ignoring the times he promised money to charity and never followed through, and the times he had his own foundation buy nice things for himself.

Its easy to say "I'm more moral than Trump..." yet how much did you spend to back that up? Definitely not in the millions... its easy, cheap, and a bit artificial to brag about moral superiority over Trump when you likely haven't spent even 1,000 dollars on a charitable cause

It's easy to say "Giving your child to Trump is the right decision", yet how much did you spend to back that up? Nothing. It's easy, cheap, and artificial to sing Trump's praises when you haven't spent anything to make us agree.

The richer you are, the more high quality goods and services you have casual access to. That’s a fact. It’s silly to argue otherwise.

He actually inherited his money. And then went bankrupt multiple times.

It's curious that no matter how inane and masturbatory a Shroom thread is they never fail to gain page counts. If I made threads just as inane they'd drop down to second page within an hour.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.
