Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!
Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"
To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.
But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in [email protected].

Guess the Episode "Rules"
- Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
- If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
- Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
- Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
- Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
- Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".
These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

Generally, what I learned in China is that the people there value stability and fear chaos more than anything. They would rather have a extremely strong government with an iron grip over society then to risk what they perceive to be the chaos of a full democracy. Looking at the current situation in the United States, it is hard not to argue that they have a point to some degree. They know something bad happened there and even if their government is at fault, it has been long enough that they aren't burning hot with anger over it. Americans are similar about their governments crimes in the past.
Wow... the chaos happening in America is not due to democracy. People might think that, but I don't see how 2 seconds of critical thought applied could let that idea stand.
Right, like how everyone kinda just accepts that slavery happened right? Or that time the US military mowed down protestors in front of the white house?
