    Ah, you're convinced you'd get the Pollyanna version!
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      I'm sure they'd bow down in reverence to your presence.

          I was thinking of the image I saw earlier...

          Chaz.jpg

          Are you thinking I'd get the photoshopped Fox version out of right-wing fever-dreams? With the photoshopped fires from Minneapolis, and the photoshopped gunman in front of photoshopped looters wielding photoshopped swords?

          Maybe you should hyperventilate even harder than you already are and that will make them real?

          Reminds me of Jesus talking in the gospels about the kingdom of heaven. "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." Hierarchy reversal loomed large in his mind as he sided with the poor and disparaged the rich.

          Shrug. I have no objection to giving poor people money.

            You'd be perfectly fine with them taking over your house and land, and sending you down the road?
            Did you STEAL your house and land, Leon?
            Do you STEAL the paycheck you get for your work?

              Thanks - this made for a good laugh.

                Yep, I saw that video myself in regards to the $10. It was on a twitter post though so I can't remember whose account posted it and I only found that from a YouTube video anyway so it's lost amongst the noise now I guess. I don't actually have a twitter account so I only go on it once in a while if I see something that somebody is talking about elsewhere.

                  I take it your education in life somehow managed to miss the entire categories of colonialism, capitalism, and also the history of America and the thefts and wars to take land in it.

                    I did not say that, but unless you go back to mythical time all countries are formed by taking land from others.

                      Although true others have been far more effective at it than the CHAZ

                        But these are all fine chaps inviting all to come and enjoy the peace and tranquility they have created!

                        You can watch this nutcase making this challenge....

                          I live here and now, Leon, and my wife and I have earned everything we have the good ol' fashioned way - we worked for it.

                              You are certainly welcome to come to ignorant conclusions. That seems to be a common response from you.

                                Was it legal under British law to rebel against the crown?

                                I'm just saying, countries and places like that, are never made without ownership being harmed.
