Litiquette VI

[Endless_Night]

People who don't vote.

And then complain about who gets elected.

OMG

(I feel I've strayed from the point here, but it makes me crazy. )

I was just thinking this so thanks for expressing your opinion.

Close enough. There's constant discourse in libertarian circles about whether it's less virtuous to vote for the lesser evil as opposed to abstaining in protest. Both sides have their points, but I always vote for the candidates I feel are less dangerous to liberty, because a small loss in protest beats a big loss because of principle.

At least it's not just me. If you don't want to vote, that's your business, but, for God's sake

SHUT UP ABOUT THE RESULT

*thunk*

 

[Endless_Night]

Wait... what was the question again?

Hahahahahaha!

 

[tnman03]

Wait... what was the question again?

It's been an endless circle of questions today so take your choice or just express a random opinion about trainwrecks and such.

But on a serious note. I genuinely admired the comments I read in everything here today.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Wait... what was the question again?

Started with double standards. Moved to rape. Now on to pet peeves.

 

[Lord Pmann]

A typical conversation with you then, yes?

I haven't talked about how you all should pity me for my struggles as a professional, white male. Not yet... But please, discuss.

This thread runs the gamut from butthole pleasures to taxes. That is why I love it so.

And I also want to say that I really appreciate that people with varying opinions on some passionate subjects can converse in a civil manner.

I try to remain civil to bolster my chances of receiving titties in pm's.

Blade...I get the genderfluid thing but honestly, you've still got the good ole country boy ethos inside of you. So my guess is unless someone forces it your as nice to everyone as they'll let you be. Civil by nature until forced to be Uncivil.

To some extent; yes. In dealings with the public, I usually exercise a 3 strikes policy before I cut loose on someone. Thanks for saying that, though. I like to think my positions on most things blend open mindedness with a reverence for critical thought and personal responsibility.

 

[Lord Pmann]

1. There will be balance, but right now people are finding their voices that have been silenced for decades.

2. Hate crimes are inherently worse than other crimes. To be targeted for simply existing is the worst kind of hate.

3. Trump supporters

Booooo on #3. Not because I’m Pro or Anti Trump. But this is a safe space free from specific political candidate bashing. I know he hurts your feelings, but let’s try to keep this thread free from specific attacks on candidates or their supporters. We have a weird civility going and I’d like to see it that way. And you’re a real shit stirrer, Indie. No regard for anyone’s emotions or feelings. So you’re just trying to stir up drama, aren’t you?!

Ha!!! Talk about shit-stirring and who pipes in???? Pmann...that's your MO.


I sort of though Indie was interjecting some humor there to liven up the place. Kind of like you do sometimes too. It's been a really good day in this thread today. Lots of activity and responses. Very cool.

< I like to think my positions on most things blend open mindedness with a reverence for critical thought and personal responsibility.

I. This. Sentence.


(Okay, sentence fragment. )


Blade, we don't interact much, but for what it's worth, I see you as blending those qualities. Your personal stories make it clear you make time for the hard introspection, and strive for personal growth.

Gets you a round of applause in my book.

You must be thinking of someone else. I’m very serious and I’m always concerned with the feelings of others.

This was a lively thread today. I credit that to the question asker and to those who participated. 95%/5%, respectively. There is a 5% margin of error.

I also accept thanks and/ or accolades in the universal currency of tits.

But seriously. TNman knows a little about me, and yes...my upbringing put me squarely in the middle of the "redneck" demographic. That said, my folks weren't well off, and the neighborhood in which they built circa 1965 was enveloped by government housing in the 70's. I was literally the only white kid on the bus to elementary school, and gunshots weren't even uncommon...say around 50 percent of nights. In a town of around 8 thousand.
I developed some pretty hardened opinions about things during that time. Some have evolved, others have persisted after decades of revisiting them.

My sister and niece are the L in LGBTQI, so that's what started the opening of the mind and the reality that one can't project their microcosmic realities onto everyone else. I didn't even realize at 25 or 30 that I'd fit under any part of that acronym, but here am I.

I don't Think we should ever stop questioning the validity of our positions. I'm glad to have gotten free of a few of my own.

That's not to say one should be weak inn their convictions or waver on principle.

Pretty much everything stems from that... A "do no harm, but take no shit" approach to life.

Tits are the Bitcoin of Lit. Titcoin, if you will.

Wait….

Being incredibly sleep deprived it's quite possible I am hallucinating, but, did you JUST ISSUE A CITATION?!


(I want it noted I was completely in the middle of something else and had to log back in to ask this question. Pmann morphing into Chained may be the single most traumatizing event collectively experienced on Lit.)

Sweet! I’m rich.

 

[Endless_Night]

Aaaaaand, since I'm here.

This. So much.

I know people whose opinions haven't changed in decades. And they are actually proud of the fact. *mind blown*

How people can live, and presumably think, for years and never catch a whiff of their own hypocrisy, their own dedication to self-interest, their own following with the herd of popular option is…..I just have no words. Not that all that isn't normal, but isn't the whole process of a life lived, in itself, an act of evolution? Hopefully to that of a broader view and less closed mind.

Well I...

You see...

What had happened was...

Oh fuck.

Fuck. I'm immensely disappointed I didn't coin that term.

Sweet! I’m rich.

Suddenly, I'm becoming fond of wealth redistribution.

True...i do not know you....hence the posturing for tits.
