Why do you think the politics section is dying?

[Flaming Pie]

Right there.

Is rob really in an institution? If so, how do you know?

It's obviously a lie. If you are in an institution your privileges are severely limited.

I would think they would at least monitor a person if they gave that person internet access. I'm sure they wouldn't allow a person to visit a pot forum

 

[zeddd]

You don't prove anything you say. You are full of shit. It's obvious. Also you only post beliefy truthy fact free beliefs, not facts. I challenge you to show me where you said something about Hillary that you are certain I can't dismantle. I'll post a couple of areas where we could probably agree but all your accusations about crimes are easy meat to me.

90% of everything you say about "crooked Hillary" is false. There are some really good fact checking sites that establish what I just said as true.

Things that are true about Hillary that I find objectionable are her actions and statements when the '94 crime bill was introduced, her vote for the Iraq war and a few other verifiable factual times when she showed hawkish conservative colors. But that's not what you argue about. Mostly it's meaningless blather intended to incite without any real content. Your assertion that Hillary is a criminal is factually false. You have nothing real in your posts.

Oh, and if we were to take people's word for it, this site if chock full of multimillionaires. It may or may not be true but why post it up on a pot board where you are anonymous? As if anybody should care. Too funny this.

When I'm interested in a subject and feel like it, I put up facts, figures and links. It doesn't really matter to most people. I do it for my own reasons, not to "win on the internet", LOL.

Typing frenzy

 

[Fogdog]

Not exactly truth.

There is a double standard here. Some can break rules and some can not.

Its fine. Its a private site and that's the way it is.

To be honest, I disagree. People get banned for specific reasons and not just because they post something that has a "wrong philosophy".

We've all had the experience of playing a sport, basketball is the one that comes to my mind, where there is always one player who whines and cries over every ruling claiming bias. Fucking jerks. Just figure out how the ref is ruling and play up to the edges of his calls. If you don't get called a few times, you aren't trying to win. What I've seen from our resident crybabies is people who simply can't maintain a consistently civil dialogue. Wacko racism, stupid expletives, spam, these all will get them banned. And they cry, oh yes they cry. Fucking back court whiners can't deal with the way the game is played under the net.

I guess so. Hey Dave, do you remember when you defended the Republican leaders in Flint Michigan when they used your kind of beliefy and truthy logic to delay and deny lab results showing high blood levels in children of Flint? Yeah that was sure delusional of me to believe the science behind that. Too bad that those children are deluded about the damage that lead causes in their development and the deluded expenses to Michigan that those poisoned children will incur, Not to mention the deluded damage to the deluded lives of those deluded children and their deluded families. Yeah, I'm so deluded.

You have to reach pretty far back for something you think resembles a win? Lol. Poor Fogfraud. Was the governor forced to resign because of some smoking gun showing he tried to cover things up or because he ignored reports from experts or because his actions were racist or or??

Do you think the people of Flint could have used some of that $450,000,000 that Obama paid the Iranians in ransom?

Lesser Evil: America’s Winningest Political Candidate
25-08-2016
Why, I am constantly being asked by my overseas peers, do you Americans have such affection for a creepy old pretender, a political candidate who’s been around forever, and all he has done is have his way with you? Does the “me-or-else” political ultimatum award Lesser Evil license to govern and rape? Whether dressed as Tweedledee or as Tweedledum, Lesser Evil righteously appears to so think; adding one more rosary bid in our march towards the 2016 presidential election… just as it happened in 2012 and, as I tap into my memory, to all other quadrennials before then.

Enter the protagonists this year playing the part of Lesser Evil: Clinton and Trump; both well experienced in deceit, one consistently showing signs of being a truly consummate sociopath, while the other disguises a different strain of the same affliction reasonably well. Both candidates pied-pipering away to their immutable, loyal following which approximate in each case almost a quarter of the electorate; leaving us, the remaining half-plus, trying to determine who of these two becomes our least distrusted psychopath to lead America in all domestic and foreign affairs: our faithful but not so beloved Lesser Evil, of course.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans have party memberships which come close to having a reasonable cross-section of the population in the two critical areas that divide the nation: race and economics… not remotely! And that fact alone, like never before in America’s history, poses insurmountable problems in governing, and brings a constant impasse which does not lend itself to negotiation, much less compromise. It also adds serious impediments in selecting, or compromisingly-accepting, leadership that can be respected, if not accepted, by a society with a true common ground.

Hillary’s ascent to the Democratic nomination is a vivid example of how a likely-to-lose general election candidate – had the GOP nominated a sane conservative – prevailed over Honest Bernie. Not only was the DNC unequivocally proven to be in Hillary’s safe pocket, something for which there has been little to none media/public outrage, but the scoundrelous Clintons also had the old clique of black community and church leaders in their fist, totally and irrationally influencing the primary vote. And I say irrationally on the basis that Bernie Sanders would likely have proven to be a far superior advocate for blacks on all fronts. Sad bottom line for the Democratic Party: had black voters equally supported Hillary and Bernie, and the party elite not cast their preference for Hillary Clinton before the primaries, Senator Sanders would have walked away with the party’s nomination hands down, not Clinton. Sanders, who had been “allowed” entrance to the primaries by the Democratic hierarchy as a political side show, tainted with the political scarlet letter in the US – S for Socialist, just could not be permitted to represent the Democratic Party in what its hierarchy likely saw a suicide candidacy. So Sanders was mercifully put to pasture as a party’s beast of burden, not as a racehorse.

In similar vein, had the bigopat crowd (angry bigoted patriots) not found a pied-piper in born-again Republican Trump, a non-conservative self-serving billionaire, a conservative nominee would have emerged from the ranks of the Republican career politicians; in much the same fashion as Hillary’s crown had been placed on Bill’s political queen. Not that it would have made much difference in America’s non-democratic binary politics! Once again, much-raped America will always have a prospective escort, old-and-creepy Lesser Evil, to take her to the Quadrennial Cotillion.

I have often been told by my peers overseas, mostly in a discreet and constructive way that our lack of civic/political involvement in government might have inflicted on us our just deserts. But if we have been politically indigent in the past, perhaps due partly or wholly to our privileged economic condition vis-a-vis much of the world, circumstances thrust upon us, while unprepared and in full force against the whirlwind of globalization need to be reevaluated and changed. Politicians of both parties have been extremely careless and derelict in their approach to globalization.

To summarily complete the division in America, traditional politics (politicians) also fail to acknowledge the strident racial disharmony which still permeates the nation. Such racial disharmony is treated in the same blind-deaf-mute way we treat the existence of the metric system; hoping that they both hopefully disappear, effortlessly in our part.

The political duopoly in America simply does not work; nor does it offer hope, a future for a cohesive society. It may have reasonably worked in the past because of our very gifted, blessed economic advantages… but those advantages are either gone or exiting fast. If we are looking for a brighter, more optimistic future for all, and not just 20 percent knights and squires in our population, America needs to bring to the political table OTHER people and ideas, not just continue with the same Demo-Repugnancy, that will enlarge our political wisdom and give us a pathway to reach physical and economic well-being as well as provide a moral compass for all.

A corporate media that would force bringing Greens and Libertarians to the presidential debates in 2016 would forever find its penitential-redeeming place in America’s history.

 

[Rob Roy]

He calls you an idiot. I don't think he's lying there. He goes after racists, bigots and those who support the right wing's efforts to enrich the 1% also people who regurgitate right wing echo shamber made up shit. Is there something wrong with doing that?. Oh, and people that in my opinion are truly offensive or boring, I put them on ignore. I don't see a problem with that either. For example, I put Rob Roy on ignore and the site improved immensely.

But you won't see me whining about him or others. Nor will you see me crying over something somebody said. This is the politics section and people are allowed to get rough with each other with moderators providing guidance when people overstep the bounds. I've been corrected in the form of deleted posts and I take it as guidance, not something to snivel over.

Look at this place as a microcosm of the US, same ideology ruling.
''The people here are to blame.'' While you are right, better to understand than to blame. Blame the people that aren't here they could overpower the assholes. Blame those who pay some who post. Blame yourself for being a wimp, Blame can be spread around.
Me I just use and have a good time with what I find wherever I go.

NLXSK1'' When 80% of the conversation is personal attacks it just is not worth having a discussion.''

GOT lemons make lemonade. If you can't discuss then fuss and cuss. If you go to a game and join in the play, than by the rules you find, not to say that you can't change or try to change the rules.
