Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Stop being dishonest MM. Pretending to be ignorant of inconvenient facts is just a lie of a different sort.

2) Since when did pitching a hysterical hissy fit solve anything?
Sure, be an emotional basket case if you want to be, but other than spewing forth hate, what are you accomplishing? Your posting is so repulsive that even if you DID have a point, people write you off as an angry boob.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Most, if not all, "right wing" posters on this board.
What has posting in "Civics" in particular ever accomplished? I can see posting in the religious areas being said to "accomplish" something but not here.
My posting is not repulsive, come on. I deleted a post for a goofy reason, something I thought made it disappear completely, and you're getting really excited for reasons which absolutely escape me.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I just saw a video last night of a doctor describing the fact that there were ten who needed ICU beds but he only had three available and had to make tough calls. You don't think he will live with those avoidable scars for the rest of his life?
I believe that to be an outright untruth.
Yet, here you are!
Wow, I wasn't even referring to that! Guilty conscience? In general, I just find you to be a very unhappy combative gloom-and-doom type person.
You can call me "doom and gloom" if you want but I think I have a better handle on reality than you do. Enjoy your opiate I guess.Last edited by DivineOb; 07-06-2020, 12:37 PM.

Yet in this very post you excuse 130k dead as "bad things happen"
despite the fact that the vast majority of those deaths could have been avoided. Sounds like "just dandy" to me.
Yes. Initially I posted here in order to build bridges and when that was beyond proof at being impossible shifted to posting things which give me pleasure to post.
I don't have a guilty conscience over an imagined insult to a mythical savior.

And then why, after you found out we could see deleted posts, did you post 10 more little nasty things and delete them?
Oh, and by the way, you are seemingly arguing moderation in this thread. If you have a beef, take it to the Padded Room or send a pm to somebody.
