Dude. I still have the PM's. You either lied then, or you are lying now. So which is it?

you dont have **** except yet another changed subject and an obvious reading comprehension problem. so instead of trying to make guesses about my personal life why don't you debate about the actual topic at hand? my personal health is not the issue here and it's none of your f*cking business anyway.

It's difficult to discuss the topic at hand with a know-it-all who became crazy a few years back, largely due to what he told me was severe health issues. It's my business, and the board's business, when you CONSTANTLY put your personal stuff out there to try and gain leverage in arguments. If you are going to do that, don't be surprised when it's used against you.

1. whether I have or had health issues makes no difference vis a vis my political opinions.

2. unless you are a mental professional who has examined me then I'd suggest you refrain from calling me "crazy" and the like.

3. I havent used my personal information any more than anyone else around here.

4. again, why is the subject my health instead of the political and social issues listed as the topic of this thread? and if this is out of your "genuine concern" for me medically then why are you violating HIPAA laws? If I sent you something by PM then obviously it was more private than public. Why don't you talk about the politics and leave my health out of this?

5. I would be really surprised if the members of this board were so concerned about my health. I think you're just being a deceitful clod using a personal dig because you don't know dick about politics, government, the world etc... and you're just punking out.

6. and what, exactly, have I done that was so crazy? smoked weed? it's legal now. Turned Hindu? There are billions of others who believe as I do. You call me crazy because I dont match your hickville, montana view of how people are "s'posed to be". get bent.

I'd have thought an "attorney" would know that things you tell a random citizen in public or even private, isn't covered by HIPPA.

And IF you sent me something? You still suggesting you didn't?

I've talked about the politics. It's okay for you to call me and others hicks, uneducated, and stuff like that, but I can't call you certifiably crazy? Get that ish out of here.

I think we should get back to current events.

It's Sunday and it might be a bloody one at that. Getting the popcorn ready. If Tiger were playing golf this weekend then things might be different.

certifiably crazy? again, based on what? and what are your credentials to "certify" me as crazy?

as for the attorney part ... do you understand the right to privacy and when it is invoked/protected? I have an arguable claim by the simple fact that I sent it to you as a PM. If you're holding yourself out as a mental health professional ("certifiable") and I sent you something in confidence (a PM) then there's a colorable claim.

As ABD suggested why don't you get back to talking about current events. Oh, and my comments relate to what I read in your posts. Not my impressions or information about you personally. I say "ignorance" because you say ignorant things. If you dont wish me to say ignorance then dont say ignorant things.

Now ... either talk about the current events or point out these "crazy" things I did so I can continue pointing out your narrow-mindedness and ignorance.

Legislative processes? you mean the same processes that are now more subject to the whims of industry leaders than votes of the people?

the same processes that allow Moscow Mitch to have over 300 bills standing on his desk unattended because they don't follow HIS agenda?

the same processes that won't let us require simple background checks on gun buyers despite it being supported by 86% of the American public?

the same processes that allowed and harbored refuge for slavery, systemic hate, and a litany of other horrid disparities?

the same processes that now threaten to curtail voting for those same voiceless people you purport to protect?

I think you need to spend time paying attention to those processes more and Faux "news" less.

And I think you should read up on marxist history because several of the purported grievances against the process that you detailed above would align you with the same message spewed by the likes of Stalin, Lenin, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, and Fidel Castro. I would also read up on the Bolshevik movement as well.....and you will find that virtually every "movement for the people" has its secrets.

Listen, I'm not saying you are any of one of those guys in your thoughts, but the message is consistent from a victim/oppressor lens. It always starts as a perceived grassroots movement (but it isn't the case...it's typically wealthy, power-hungry oligarchs behind the scenes) between the powerful and the common man.....or at least that is how it is presented. And while riling up the mob with false reality and misdirection in many cases, it then usually leads to calls for wealth redistribution and large governmental overreach as long-term solutions. Over time, I've changed my tune on this because I now believe that a good portion of people (in many countries) don't yearn to be free (unfortunately), instead they yearn to be taken care of.

And the only show I watch on Fox News even occasionally is Greg Gutfield.

For a Hindu pot smoker, coolm has a lot of anger. Maybe he should spend some time in prayer at his Hindu temple. He needs to deal with the source of that anger.

and what, pray tell, would you know about advaita vedanta to make any kind of judgment? once again, asserting your ignorant opinion about things of which you obviously know nothing. mcrt085 needs to deal with his stupidity.

and what assumption have you made as to why I should read up on this history? because I am more than well familiar with every name you mentioned above among others. especially Che.

I can support egalitarianism without promoting violence and revolution. the ones who cannot are those stuck trying to keep the past in the present.

But, that said, for every atrocity you can name from those persons above I can match with horrid actions from imperialism and exploitation of the masses. Perhaps YOU should cobble together a more honest history of the bull**** you are supporting? Have you read Zinn yet? you could even start off with something current and topical like Chernow's Hamilton (sans the rap battle edition).

and I am STILL sitting here waiting for all the things I said or did that were "crazy". oh, wait ... certifiably crazy.

Not knowing cleanliness protocols when dealing with an uncontrolled release of contaminants or bio-hazards - I called and continue to call a few of you "ignorant" for that.

Saying masks do nothing or are ineffective? I called a few of you ignorant for that also.

Oh, and I called a few of you "delusional" for suggesting that trump isn't racist. I wouldnt doubt "ignorant" was thrown in for that also. It is a pretty ignorant view.

The point is I can articulate why I called you ignorant on this topic. I have yet to hear why I am so crazy other than because I don't agree with you.

Perfect example dude. I was trying to let it go, you asked me to let it go, then hours later, you try to pick a fight. You truly are a dumb-ass, instigating, mf'er. This is a perfect example of why I call you all the things I do. You can't get out of your own way. It wasn't good enough for you to get the last word, you wanted the last word twice. Truly ignorant.

I stand by everything I said earlier. EVERYTHING. Clown.

Guys, things are getting too personal. Let's get back to current events

Over the weekend, two churches were set on fire. One was for sure on purpose. Haven't heard on the other one but I would not doubt it was arson as it was commissioned by St. Juniper serro.

Also, numerous religious icons have been vandalized.

This is all part of antifa's plan. Slowly (really not that slow) keep moving the target

I wonder what they would have to do before the left disassociates with them for as of now the left uses them to create discontent and make it appear that society is in turmoil and in need of a change.

Oh, so YOU decided to "let it go" huh? well, how big of you! I "let it go" all the time and you guys continue to press things. Hell, I refused for YEARS to even come to this page as a means of "letting it go". Go back and check the dates ... I even "let it go" numerous times during this thread.

Not sure why I even bother to mention it because you won't go back and look. You won't listen to anything that doesn't fall within your little box of acceptance. You don't want proof, and actual arguments, and anything resembling an logical discussion. You just want to yell and no one to say anything contrary to YOUR feelings.

But this one time in thousands (literally) I decide to engage ... I actually come to this thread on this other board I NEVER frequent ... I decide to further it and now I am "crazy" and ... and you just can't take it.

If you wanna talk about "snowflakes" - you're the snowflake. You just say **** that pops into your gut (I wont say your head because I've yet to observe that come into play) and when I ask you to support it you just run away!

I am STILL waiting for your "numerous examples" of the things I did or said that were "crazy". I've asked no less than 4x and you have yet to say a single thing. I have reasons for calling you ignorant and things you say ignorant and I explain them. You, otoh, give nothing.

Look, if you want to just holler out without responses then open your damn window and scream. But if you're going to say things on an open forum then don't be so shocked when someone else will show more persistence than you AND is better than you at doing it.

Whatever frustration I am causing you is purely due to your own ignorance. Go learn something. And AFTER you learn something then bring it back and relay it if you wish to engage in a discussion about it. But once you put your spin on it don't get all pissy when someone disagrees and actually articulates why. putz.

"make it APPEAR that society is in turmoil and in need of a change"? It's LONG past "appearing" to be in turmoil.

HELLO ... MCFLY ... it IS in turmoil and change IS needed.

Ignoring dysfunction is a wise path taken. Is it unfortunate that it exists? Of course so, but we, as individuals, have a choice to avoid it or feed the fire that would consume all. The choice should be clear.

You've finally convinced us you're not crazy with this post.

You've finally convinced us you're not crazy with this post.

you can think I am crazy until the cows come home. the issue is what comments or actions spurred the thought.

but you dont wish to exchange that either. you're just yet another one of these pokers and if I engage your little poke you'll do the same cowardly non-mea culpa as WT above. like pro-wrestler's hiding the pipe wrench when the ref turns to face them. pathetic.
