That he knows more than the generals. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

This is, in fact, THE topic you're talking about. Here are your own words, "I really don't see what the message is that people are trying to convey when they want dead more and more dead cops." Without context, how can you possibly understand? quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

Pity the link gives pretty much no context other than a supposed date and vague location. There's not even a way to verify what's being chanted since we can't see the lips moving on the literally teens worth of protesters. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

"Did you order the Code Red?" If you're saying there are absolutely no bully DIs, then I think you're fooling yourself. The math alone suggests there's at least a couple. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

Or . . . he's simply a con-man, knows what's what and is hoping to be able to just make it all work out via EO or something once he's in office. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

What is One Thing Trump Has Already Given to Some?

Every one I watch says they'd gladly give the gift back. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver -
If you're going to be that polarizing and literal, then is the military just bad and needs to stop abusing people with those mean drill seargants and stuff? I think you need to clarify a bit more. Statement still stands. A Drill Sergeant is a type of coach. Some are also bullies, but not usually. Usually they do have your best interests at heart as opposed to simply "winning" in the Charlie Sheen sense. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

I dunno. When I was a kid a person's dad, or scout leader, or coach would take him aside and give him simple advice about how things really worked and we called that "straight talk." Bullies, on the other hand were pricks shouting individuals, usually weaker than themselves, in order to boost their ego and to get their way regardless of the rules. To me, the difference remains crystal clear. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

can anybody explain this to a non-u.s.-citizen?
quade replied to feuergnom's topic in Speakers Corner
I can explain it; there are assholes everywhere in the world and psychopaths make up at about 1% of any given population. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver -

Interesting double standard you seem to have with regard to actors and the value of what they have to say about things. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver -
I will admit that actions speak louder than words, which is pretty hard to believe considering the volume level Trump is set at. He definitely goes up to 11. That said, since he is a complete political unknown, we only have the words he has used on the campaign trail and the people he is visibly building alliances to go on. Obviously, we can't see through his non-transparent meetings. That said, even if he himself does nothing whatsoever, he has emboldened several factions of the Republican party which previously were considered too nutty to even be taken seriously. Perhaps that is what got him elected, but the Republican party themselves also considered those same groups to be nutty and dangerous and ignored them as well. So, here we have a President-elect who is currently being visibly supported in public by neo-Nazis and while the President-elect has denounced the generic concept of racism, has yet to specifically denounce the neo-Nazi groups. Personally, I hope it's all just a smokescreen, but a smokescreen for what? Well, the neo-Nazis aren't members of Congress, so . . . what is it they want to do? In some cases it's only slightly less frightening. Me? I personally have little to fear from Trump unless he decides to go full-dictator and purge the US of anyone who opposes him. Okay, I'm definitely in that group and the NSA has all the social media to do that against me already. My last words are going to be something akin to, "fuck you and the Nazi horse you rode in on." I don't think it will make the history books, but I'll feel momentarily good about it. What I do fear is a LOT of people I know who are at risk of losing their health insurance, their ability to stay in the US, their ability have birth control, their ability to be open about their sexuality, their ability to visit their loved ones as they die in a hospital . . . Actually, quite a bit if even half of what Trump said on the campaign trail comes true. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

And now we see a glimpse of how the Trump Administration will be working with the internet trolls to silence critics. They'll dig through every piece of social media of yours and cherry pick, then post to Breitbart, et. al. it looks to me that this thread was trolling from the start...... Yeah, because clearly nobody else on the planet was talking about it. Right? quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

When some people consider other people to be equal to objects, that's a problem. We're not talking about people, we're talking about voluntary group associations. Would you support registration of all KKK members? We're not, some people in this thread definitely are though. They want to equate the registration of people with the registration of objects (guns). It's a bullshit false equivalency. For the record though, I have an issue with the registration of people simply via associations. On the other hand, I have no problem whatsoever with the registration of known criminals like serious sex offenders (not just peeing in public) and terrorists. Go for it. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

Not by the cast. The cast was nothing but gracious. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

No. No deal. People and guns are not equivalent. I do not and will not ever equate the human rights of people to live with the rights of objects to exist. Feel free to quibble and parse that any terms you want, but that's all you'll be doing and it's bullshit. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

Learning how to be President 46. It is entirely possible we are seeing the next Presidential family dynasty. For the record, I HATE the concept of dynastic rule in the US. I hated it with Bush, and Clinton, and I'm completely against it with Trump as well. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

So, I think the "government" you're looking for is Somalia. Sadly, the people aren't so great there. Is it possible that what is really needed is some combination of both people and government to function as a society? quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

Un-fucking-believable. I would not have thought this possible in the America I grew up in. I can't believe we're even having this discussion, yet, there it is.

For anyone who has ever questioned the concept of "white privilege" please take a look at the above. I'm not going to bash Normiss about this, but while it might be "entertaining" to a lot of people, it's absolutely terrifying to a lot of minorities. I can't even imagine how bad it must be right now, which is my own white privilege. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

Oh, fuck no. Just because some leaders are saying a country needs to go to war doesn't mean people should fall into line and "rally around the troops." Hey, I'm ALL FOR THE TROOPS, but fuck the idea of marching off to an unprovoked war with a country just because somebody thinks it's a good idea and especially when a lot of those people wanted to go to war BEFORE 9/11. Afghanistan to get Osama bin Laden? Sure, let's go get that fucker. No question. Iraq? Eh, hold on, tell me again why we're doing this if Osama bin Ladin is in Afghanistan? quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver

I can see where _some_ of the people who follow the "alt-right" are just in it for the 4 chan like shits and giggles of trolling. The problem is it has effects down the road as more and more idiots are emboldened by the concepts and begin to believe what they're reading. What was simply an overtop lol yesterday gets twisted into "facts" for numbskulls. So I don't really give a fuck what the initial purpose of it is, there is a line beyond people shouldn't go, not out of fear of government censorship or whatever, but because it spreads insanity among the idiots. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver
