  • The lot of you are basically throwing shit at one another being that there is no real discussion or exchanging of ideas here.

    This forum is pretty much cancer.

    Our God has graced us with his presence!

    Don't let his posts here fool you, he's still way better than this crap.

  • Maybe, just maybe, you should look at the common denominator here and wonder if everyone is really a bitchy pouty attacker out to get ol' gee-whiz Cal, or if maybe you're over the top and it is ridiculous.

    You are healed, my child.

    You especially. You're intelligent enough to know you're arguing with a wall for hours on end. I cannot grasp why you waste your time.

    The curse of a smart phone I guess. Why just be waiting for something when I can read posts on here and pull my hair out?

  • Oh you mean Diehard? He's just an asshole. I was, in fact, in the Air Force and I did, in fact, support operation Enduring Freedom including two TDY to the middle east but he is correct that I was never in combat. I was not a Marine or a soldier but an Airman in comm/nav/mission systems which essentially means I did the same thing then that I do now, electronics and communications repairs. If Diehard wants to take a shit on my military service that his prerogative but what I did was a critical job. He's never mentioned what his specialization was, so, you know, fuck him.

    Still don't understand his disrespect either. Comms are, were, always will be critical to any mission. The boys in the air continue to maintain that.

    Thank you.

  • All this interpersonal crap isn't necessary. Like ridiculing somebody who was in the military,by

    claiming they are a fake.

    You hear anybody claiming that Osiris "is a fake Muslim" or anything? That would really be offensive.

    The left needs to stop initiating all this belligerent, constant, personal antagonism. I don't get it.

    None of us hated anybody because we lost two presidential elections. This is deja vu all over again.

    Bush won twice and all hell broke loose. The past eight years of obamao, there haven't been

    threats and hateful dangerous rallies, the media was full of grace toward the president....

    about half this country voted Trump in- the pendulum had to swing back. Why isn't that

    acceptable to the left? They had their turn, let us have our turn. That is how it works.

    I have dumb opinions here and there, but seriously, I don't see any of us on the ..non-left

    hating anybody. It's the left that goes way, way out in left field angry when they lose

    elections.

    That seems to be indicative of what we are seeing across the country. Reisistance to OUR

    president? Reps were fine to let Obamao have his two very, very leftwing activist judges to

    the Surpreme Court. They stopped him from adding another late in his presidency.

    Now, the left is going to stop any nominee by Trump.

    Why is it that "elections have consequences" only when the left wins?

    Why does this forum turn into hating other posters, only when a rep wins?

    Why does the left half of our country go apecrap revolutionist, when they didn't win

    a third time?

    Any excuses to answer those questions are feeble at best. I have some dumb opinions, can

    be wrong about stuff, joke around,all of us are like that. Just seems like the interpersonal hate garbage

    gets out of hand quickly, only when the left loses. I'm not goin anywhere, but it's more fun when

    both the left and right can express their views without the hate bubbling up for no good reason.

    Everybody have a nice day.

    By comparison to most of you I'm fairly new to this section of the forum. But based on my own observations I have to agree with Cal. Though I doubt the right is completely innocent of some of the same things Cal is accusing the left of.

    I believe our conduct in forums like these reflects the same conduct you see in Washington D.C. in the Senate and House of Representatives. This has for the better part of 16 years (being generous) been the cause of national gridlock and has been extremely counterproductive.

    While both sides of the fence consistently finger point and charge each other with this or that, opportunity after opportunity to make this country and world a better place to live just passes us by. Our blind adherence to one side of the political spectrum is laughable.

    Maybe our current President can break the cycle. To his credit he's done what he said he would. He's also been much more organized and focused than I thought he would be. While I don't agree with what he's doing with this ban. I can concede that it seems as if he's buying time for a more effective solution. We'll see how true that is.

    Marcus even those here on the right with the exception of Diehard will tell you Cal's behavior here is beyond reason. I would encourage you to read a weeks worth of posts to get a feel for the dynamics of this forum.

    Left and right are capable of getting along so long as they both aren't at extreme ends of the spectrum. Cysko and myself proved that right here. But when extremists (Cal) throw a monkey wrench into the gears, it makes it harder on moderates. Look at how some on the right uses the word 'liberals' like it's some kind of insult. That right there shows you where the unwillingness to compromise (another word extremists have twisted to have a negative connotation) comes from. So maybe that is the microcosm of Washington.

    I will say this over and over: the battle lines in conflicts all over the world should not be drawn between Left and Right or Muslim and Jew. The battles lines we should be drawing are between moderates and extremists, for it is the extremists doing the most harm to our government, our way of life, and the world.

  • I am not above personally attacking people from time to time so I don't have anyone on ignore. I think part of the beauty of this board is that it's really the wild west of internet forums. If I had, say, diehard on ignore I wouldn't be able to dump all over him.

    I admit I fuck with people on this board. But in reality since you served you have my respect for that. I was 11B10 (light weapons infantry) in the Army from 1971 to 1973. Served in Vietnam at the end of the war, then the remainder in Germany at Kirchgoens (Ayers Kaserne). After I got out it was difficult to find a decent job so after a few years I enlisted in the Navy started out as a Bosn's Mate, then switched to a Master at Arms. Was in Grenada and in Desert Shield/Storm. Retired in 1994. Actually there is only one person on this board I can't stand and she is on ignore.

    ******************************************************

    You know, having somebody on ignore means you should STFU about them, and not

    keep trying to institigate vs them.

    Meanwhile, I know I'm outrageous at times, but always in moderate control....been royally attacked

    by the best/worst of asswipes - like you, and once you cross that line, I just remember the past.

    So I have a good memory...

    It's pretty bad that you are a Muslim, and the first? time you use the word "extremist", it is

    only in reference to me. Dang, you are a troublemaking, arrogant ass, aren't you?

    You got all pissy because you were wrong. Like you idiotic statement about not knowing

    any woman forced to wear the hijab. The ulterior propaganda motive, is to deny it

    happens? That's really, really wrong, just like your loving the peaceful times

    of the ottoman empire. Your ulterior motive was to infer that when Muslims are in charge,

    everything is peaceful. But then the empire fell apart, and THEN there were wars

    between the states, and things weren't peaceful anymore.

    There are plenty of posters I never get into it with. In the past, I would just have my opinions,

    and would catch all sorts of mz the pussy, sheply, etc hellfire for daring to have conservative opinions,

    got so they seemed to be trying to run conservatives off the board. And, tried to get

    them banned because they didn't like conservative posts.

    It's like the time this conservative friend in argumentation class and I won a big debate.

    Big class, two hippies opposed us. The intitial vote was bigly against us. But,

    at the end, we overwhelming won.

    After class, the one hippie came up abruptly, grabbed me by the shirt and said "you (*)(*& are just

    a bourgeis something pig, forget the word, and said I was part of the problem,

    and said they were going to find out where we lived and we would pay.

    My co-winner, she was terrified behind me, clutching my shirt. Some other friends came after him,

    I said 'until then, you really had better get your stinking hands off me", his hippie friend

    grabbed him, threw him against the wall and asked him WTF was wrong with him.

    All we did was win the debate bigly. We just disagreed about the effectiveness of the anti-war movement's

    effects on our country.

    In real life, most of us are completely different than our online personas, perceive personas.

    Sometimes, I have to remind myself that woodpecker is probably a real non-bird in real life.

    But I'm thinking Os is ...oh, never mind. that was mean. 🙂 See? I used a smiley face.

  • You're mad as shit that he has you on ignore aren't you?

  • lol. nope. just commenting on his hypocrisy. He keeps mouthing off about me, to

    keep being a victim.

    It's amusing, in a stupid kind of way.
