Trump thread part 2 (Or anything else we want to talk about that's ridiculous in politics today)

[eastcoastjoe]

Shit, that reminds me to get outside and complete some winter prep chores. The clutch went on my old 90s Dakota plow truck, now the trans no engages. Good thing I have a backup 2004 truck. My pronouns are "too fucking old to shovel and too cheap to buy something newer".

I definitely identify as he’s / tired

If any other party or possibility included the guarantee "peaceful people are left alone" it might be worth pursuing. Unless / until that's included voting for a 3rd party will only mean some people end up with different lesser known people trying to control your life.

If you don't like being controlled by either or both of the 2 big, (can't blame anyone there) good chance you might not like being controlled by any of the "too small" 3rd, 4th etc. party political types either. A smaller plantation master is still a master, no?

Being a peaceful, but politically disinterested individual should allow a person the option of opting out of as much of the political bullshit as possible.

If you leave others alone you should have the reciprocity of being left alone, otherwise freedom isn't present. Disallowing that provides the evidence that political means (methods) and freedom are opposing concepts, regardless of the label or size of the political oppressor.

no maybe, but at least they might bring in some fresh,new ideas, new approaches or -OMG one or two actual solutions to existing problems .

Either way it´s worth it just to see those who are far too comfortable and self-satisfied lose more and more power and look stupid.
Like I said earlier, it´s the only way to kick those guys up the a****

If you want to, you can research it.

But we know how that turns out.

I've seen that movie too.

Your pernicious pestering is sadly devoid of any redeeming conversation.

You didn't want to do anything but deny the evidence... it's quite simply trite and completely boring.

It’s gotta suck to be educated, lonely and broke. I feel bad for you bro.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

All that to say you can’t back your claims with anything

It's right there for the reader.

Simple equality and common respect are not available to them, let alone safety and acceptance.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Not if you are trying to hurt me with accusations.

You don't know if I'm married, have kids, live in a condo, or anything else.

 

[eastcoastjoe]

Everyone can go back forty or fifty pages and read you showing them.
.

Better yet, I have examples.

Successful home owning family men don’t try to emigrate to a shithole country, argue with strangers all day about nothing for years years, laugh at Star Trek edits.

Acceptance doesn’t equal discrimination or equality. Common respect doesn’t equal discrimination.

Based on your logic of what’s considered discrimination, most humans are discriminated against. I think your argument is very weak. Surely there is more ?

Safety ? Let’s hear you explain why transgender people are not safe. They are protected under the same laws we are so I struggle to see how the Trump administration changes anything

 

[Microbeman]

You get your 9th booster yet ? If not hold off. Next month they have a covid / flu / shingles combo coming out.

Your reading is behind. It is well known that I did not get vaccinated and my hypothesis regarding blood-brain barrier issues around MMR vaccines related to autism dates back to the 80s. I have outlined it previously more than once on ICmag.

 

[shiva82]

identity politics and victimhood changes nothing and offence is taken not given . tolerance is key to peace

 

[eastcoastjoe]

I mainly read your microbe posts. Even that science is outdated. Glad I learned not to waste my time with compost jacuzzis.

Shouldn’t you be preparing for the welcoming home party ? A rich guy like yourself should be able to offer lots of help to those poor folks fleeing their homeland.

 

[eastcoastjoe]

Well said. I hate it when people act as if having personal beliefs makes you discriminatory

but why not? can´t succssful people have a sense of humour and a family ? also moving to another country is expensive, you know and we don´t know what other forum members actually do for living right?

 

[eastcoastjoe]

Successful home owning family men don’t try to emigrate to a shithole country, argue with strangers all day about nothing

Yes yes and yes

 

[eastcoastjoe]

Better yet, I have examples.

You must still be looking for them. Let me know when you find them

 

[mean mr.mustard]

They might.

You can't tell me that that Star Trek video didn't make you laugh.

 

[shiva82]

economics and politics professor ,dr. porky phd, will hopefully enlighten everyone shortly when he awakes and embracing the thread once more with profound wisdom

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Acceptance doesn’t equal discrimination or equality. Common respect doesn’t equal discrimination.

What are you arguing? Who was dumb enough to equate common respect to discrimination??

Based on your logic of what’s considered discrimination, most humans are discriminated against. I think your argument is very weak. Surely there is more ?

I believe that was your argument, I'm sure there's more.

Safety ? Let’s hear you explain why transgender people are not safe. They are protected under the same laws we are

Transgender people have been victim to violence at an elevated rate.

They are not protected under law equally.

so I struggle to see how the Trump administration changes anything

You can't see the hate for transgender in this very thread?

 

[eastcoastjoe]

You can't see the hate for transgender in this very thread?

I do not. Show it to me ?

 

[eastcoastjoe]

They are not protected under law equally.

How is that, specifically?
