The russian is smart too, they made a special ward just for her

Fine. (to the liberal panelist) Sharon, the NEA is a loser. Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our paychecks, but he [gesturing to the conservative panelist] gets to hit you with it anytime he wants. It doesn't cost money, it costs votes. It costs airtime and column inches. You know why people don't like liberals? Because they lose. If liberals are so fuckin' smart, how come they lose so GODDAM ALWAYS!
Quote:He also fails to mention taxes, guns, right-to-life, keeping Christ in x-mas, reducing the federal government and boosting states rights, illegal immigrants, the lack of good-paying jobs, and other conservative favorites.
And (to the conservative panelist) with a straight face, you're going to tell students that America's so starspangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom. Two hundred seven sovereign states in the world, like 180 of them have freedom.
Quote:All true. So why do so many believe in American 'exceptionalism'? And why is it such a popular theme with politicians? Could it be Americans are so gullible they'll slobber over anything that has American 'exceptionalism' basted on it?
And you—sorority girl—yeah—just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is that there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world. We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies.
Quote:The US entered WWI because the Germans blockaded Britain and that hampered trade. Also, Germany tried to ally with Mexico. Then there was the Lusitania. We entered WWII because of Pearl Harbor. I'm not seeing the 'moral' reasons here.
None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt, a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about?! Yosemite?!!!
We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right! We fought for moral reasons,
Quote:anti-miscegenation? poll-taxes? segregation laws?
we passed and struck down laws for moral reasons.
Quote:Briefly.
We waged wars on poverty, not poor people.
Quote:The US has always had an anti-intelligence bias. It's politically expedient to find ways to pander to 'the common man'.
We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, and we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior.
Quote:But now we can't stop talking about Russia and Putin.
We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy.
Quote:Up until info-tainment, when th
And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered.

Obviously, I'm convinced Trump is a lying sos (how could anyone not be) so I will continue to post about relevant Trump/Russia news.

Quote:You started it, sweetie.
You insult me in every response, so do the math, hon.
First, by assuming that my first sentence TO THUGR was my first overall response. Especially when I had seen it already, and thought of posting it. During the campaign. Before RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!
Second, within the space of just a few minutes of this post, you lied about me in another one.
Let's see if you can go one day without insulting me, or anyone. Or lying. I'll do it with you. When do you want to start the clock?
Quote:Even THUGR understands that this is what we've been trying to say. That's why he tries to deny it.
There will be some here, trolls, who will say this is what they have been saying. That this is the sentiment they have been trying to communicate onto our FireFly real world threads.=THUGR

So, there's still a little space below us, but not much.

GSTRING pretends that he doesn't insult people. I've done this with him before: We agree to be decent posters, but then he'll get his licks in. And pretend it never happened.
Quote:Is this directed at me? If so, you've just given up any claim to being at all fair, or even polite.
The russian is smart too, they made a special ward just for her
Yanno DT, I have personally tried to stay ON TOPIC. Posted many items of general and specific interest, and kept trying to redirect various threads away from personal attacks back to THE TOPIC. And what have I gotten for my pains?
Constantly being called a "russian troll" over and over - which, for the record, I am not. Ganged up on. Attacked relentlessly by many people. Not a single "liberal" who supposedly values "politeness" and "reasoned discussion" or "niceness" EVER came to my aid - not SECOND, not MAL4, not MAGONS, not JO, not GSTRING, and certainly not you.
I don't snark unless I've been snarked at, but don't expect me to put myself up on a cross while others shoot arrows at me just because YOU want to control how the board runs.
I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO STOP SNARKING AT PEOPLE AS LONG AS I'M NOT BEING ATTACKED.
So, when do we collectively start the clock to say... "bygones be bygones"? When do we break the cycle? I'm waiting to hear when that starts because so far, I'm not seeing it. Certainly not from you.

Sig, it's not the topic, it's the negativity. Pizmo sometimes loses track and falls into partisan mode, but you and 1kiki tag teaming him doesn't help.
