What pissed you off today? Mark II

[RjThoughts]

Chill dude. You're going to give yourself a stroke if you don't find some calm.

I'm not a Trump fan. What I am, is someone who is tired of not being able to read, watch, or listen to the news without hearing about idiots blaming Trump for everything including the fall. You don't fix things by destroying them. Or lying about why you did.

Not student's? They were ALL students and faculty - read the news and reports of the incident. You say 'students' were the ones cleaning up afterward but are THEY going to pay for the broken windows and destroyed equipment? Where were these 'students' when the 'anarchists' were destroying the place? Where were the counter demonstrations against the anarchists? Where were the students with the fire extinguishers to put out the flames?

Any counter demonstrations today when the 'anarchists' have gone home to sleep off their late-night revelry? Anyone on the news denouncing the demonstrations today?

If you're going to BS someone, you shouldn't start with yourself.

As for the situation room; until you've worn the uniform, you have nothing to say that I want to listen to. Mainly because you have no idea what you're talking about from either end of the transmission link. Any further comment on my part on this subject will most definitely violate the rules of the forum and good manners so feel free to rant on without any reply from me.

So you're protecting a five-time "I have bone spurs so I can't serve", "I know more more than generals," "I have to get to dinner" scared man, and you're excuse for it is to turn it on me. Yeah. Okay. So I failed the eye exam when I tried to serve. So I just tutored Navy, Marine, and Army NCOs how to use computers in the mid-80s. Yeah, I can't comment on a pussy, orange whiny little spoiled man-boy who took off when the operation went on.

The man FUCKED UP!

 

[RjThoughts]

This.
Everything he says and stands for scares the shit out of me.

This is funny. I'm on a website and the title of our Trump thread is Trumplethinskin.

I read the term IMMEDIATELY after comedian Tim Allen said Hillary Clinton couldn't take a joke.

I didn't do any of this and I can comment, too.
Yes, he did. Bigly.

This should really be a redundant point to anybody over the age of five, but just because a person hasn't been in the military doesn't mean they somehow lack necessary experience to comment on actions by a military.

In this case the flipside seems to be true because rather than finding a supposed ex-serviceman condemning the fact that an 8 year old American citizen, 20-something innocent civilians and 1 soldier all just died in an unnecessary skirmish in an illegal and unjustifiable war that only occurred in the first place to line the pockets of Lockheed Martin...we find them giving an implicit defence of that event.

[Cumference]

Honestly I'm getting tired of listening to people whine and bitch and moan about the things Trump MIGHT do. The overreactions are getting legendary.

Somewhere in all the hyperbole is a story about a tiny chicken and an acorn.

I agree.

Looking at what he has done, is more than enough!

Putting Jerry Falwell Jr in charge of anything education related is a true testament to great judgement.
He is running the US into the ground, and he is accelerating along the way!
(And the Chinese and the Russians are having a ball)

I have no issues with anyone commenting on tactics. I have an issue with anyone who didn't have the balls to stand up and sign up talking shit about those who did. Anyone think they personally have the balls to stand there in real time and listen/watch while actual people die? Then go see a recruiter, sign the papers, and PROVE IT. Otherwise you're just someone with a big mouth sitting in the cheap seats.

Trump didn't serve? Ok, so how does that disqualify him? OBAMA didn't serve either. Are you saying that Obama wasn't qualified to be president on that basis? Oh wait, I get it, you're saying he's not physically FIT ENOUGH right? I suppose that FDR wasn't qualified either then. Goose, meet Gander.

Illegal, unjustifed? Says who? You? The guy with all the inside intel? You can disagree with the way the war on terror is conducted and the reason it began, that doesn't mean it isn't justified or unlawful.

We can even debate the merits of the war. From the 9/11 attack to the phoney WMD 'evidence' and all the other backroom alliances we've created and then thrown under the bus. We can even include all the tin foil theories that we 'deserve it' because of all the things we've done around the world.

None of that changes that there are a LOT of people whining about Trump being elected. Not that Trump is Commander in Chief. Or that he lacks balls. Or that his hair is orange. Or the war isn't necessary. Or he's mentally imbalanced. Or whatever other miniscule irrelevant thing people can think up in order to justify their HATRED of a man they've never met. No, they're whining that he was elected and they don't like it.

Because of what he MIGHT do.

So they throw a temper tantrum and destroy their own toys. And then blame it on someone else. There's real adult behavior for you.

Yes Far, I DO have an issue with anyone dissing our military. They stand up so we have the freedom to post crap here. Especially crap that others don't agree with. Yet we can still do it. They stand there and let us smear them and scream at them and call them horrible things. All while they put themselves in harm's way and occasionally die on our behalf. Just so that we have the luxury of trying to change laws we don't like if we can get enough people to agree with us.

Try THAT in China. Or N. Korea. Or Iran. Or... Nevermind. You can't change a haters mindset with facts. They just use your own words to snipe from the sidelines. After all, it's their Right.

I don't remember saying that Trump doesn't deserve the presidency?
Take a deep breath and calm down before you accidentally invade an innocent nation.

Also, for the record, our respective armies are merely a public branch of corporate interests who live and die as nameless pawns to boost the profit margin of defence contractors who hold massive influence over our politicians. Or do you genuinely think there's no contradiction in the USA/UK bombing 30+ African/Middle-East nations that nobody cares about while simultaneously acting as primary military and financial backers to Saudi Arabia, a literal terrorist state with the same Islamic ideology as ISIS as the state religion and the biggest exporter of home grown Jihadis?

It's not about liberties or freedoms, it's about securing those lovely oil fields for Exxon Mobil, endlessly purchasing more and more bombs and ammo from 'defence' contractors and maintaining cold war era geopolitics.

 

[HisArpy]

For someone who doesn't care you sure flounce a lot.

I actually don't care if someone doesn't like what I say or do. Dissing ME for it doesn't fall into that perspective.

ie, you can disagree with the things I say/do. You can even say so. I don't care even if I debate the issues with you. Because you will believe whatever you choose to believe no matter what I say/do. Why should I care about that?

OTOH, calling me names, or saying/inferring that I'm stupid or dishonest just because I said/did something you disagree with, pisses me off.

As to the first, anyone is free to ignore my words/deeds as they choose because truth wins every time. The other is personal. I will push you off the theoretical/metaphorical cliff if I can and laugh at you while you fall. Then I will chuck rocks at your broken bones while drinking Pina Coladas and playing old time rock and roll records. I may even invite friends to watch.

Flounce? I'm sorry, I can't flounce. Not since grade school anyway. I'm about as flounce-able (I know that's not really a word) as an elephant in a tutu. I'm pretty good with a flogger though and I know better than to wrap someone with it. Does that count since they both begin with an F?

I'd send you a get well card, but the dog ate my paypal account password. All I can do right now is make a heartfelt wish for you to get better soon.

 

[midwestyankee]

I don't necessarily agree since Trump has already backpeddled on some of what he said he'd do as a result of finding out that it was either illegal or socially unacceptable.

Be that as it may, that's not what I'm talking about.

Did you see the riot at Berkley yesterday? Because a campus group invited a 'conservative' to speak they trashed the place, set fires, and generally cost the university thousands of dollars.

Why? The University gave them a place to learn, grow and allows them to voice their opinions. In thanks they destroy it? Because someone might say something that supports Trump?

It's gotten to the point that even Dem strategists are saying that these people have no idea what they're protesting about. That the protests aren't meaningful.

If you actually step back and look at what is happening, you'd realize that most of it is a temper tantrum no more sophisticated than one thrown by a 5 year old. Most ADULTS are getting tired of it, Democrat and Republican alike.

You most certainly were NOT talking about the messiness in Berkeley because it hadn't even happened when you made your post. So that's flat-out bs yet its not the weakest part of your argument. I made a claim about historical events that includes cases where presidents tried to get their campaign promises made into law but failed, and I'm supposed to think that your deflection that you disagree with my claim because Trump also failed to get some of his promises enacted is somehow a disproof? What kind of Bizarro logic is that? Sure, plenty of people are loudly proclaiming their concern about what Trump might do because otherwise they wouldn't get any attention. In case you haven't noticed, the orange turnip's fuckups have earned a lot of ink and coverage time, leaving little oxygen for the adults to warn everybody about what might follow. There's very little surprise in the list of things that he might try to do, and to suggest otherwise is disingenuous.

I get that "if you didn't serve you can't understand" argument all the time. Its analog is this: if you don't have a vagina, you don't get to opine on women's health issues. Period, as Commander Spicer likes to say.

I'm sorry. I laughed. Out loud.

Turning your words around;

Do you REALLY think there's no contradiction between Islam being a "religion of peace" and the maiming and killing of innocent CHILDREN in the name of Allah? In either case, SOME PEOPLE have used twisted or partial facts to support a personal or political agenda. I don't buy into either propaganda campaign.

What i believe is that mankind fights. We've been fighting for eons. The strongest survive and we've been bred to survive. Right, wrong, smart or stupid, we survive. (And don't give me that crap about a nuclear holocaust being fatal to all mankind. It's crap because there's no proof that it will a) happen; or b) be fatal to all life. FEAR makes people believe anything the fearmongers want them to believe. Again, I don't buy in to propaganda. You shouldn't either.)

As to you saying something, I'm sorry for being unclear. When under a dogpile, one tends to confuse who said what and when. In this case it was RjThoughts who inferred that Trump wasn't qualified because he was physically unfit for military duty while also inferring that such unfitness was a lie. I could have been clearer and that I wasn't is my mistake.

Wow, where to start with all the wrongness in this post.

First, the riot in Berkeley happened LAST NIGHT. Not this afternoon and evening I watched it live on TV and read the news reports this morning. Unless you're saying that, like the lunar landing, it was faked in a studio in Hollywood and therefore didn't happen.

Second, I'm not trying to disprove your claims at all. I'm offering a logical and factual statement that Trump's campaign promises have been backed off from already. It is possible that more may be discarded or changed based on information he has NOW which he didn't have THEN. It may even be possible that the Democratic members of Congress can convince conservative members that following Trump's agenda blindly is a mistake. Yet, somehow you choose to disbelieve FACTS and very real possibilities because you want to believe a fantasy that titillates your political ideology - that Trump is going to take away ALL of your Rights. How silly of you.

Third, the 'orange turnip' type comments prove a point that you cannot think or argue logically because you are invested in your political position to the point of disbelief in truth or other possibilities. You WANT to believe he is evil, therefore he is. You mask his humanity behind slurs and taunts designed to make him a faceless enemy and therefore inhuman. A very old tactic which works until it is exposed to the light.

Fourth, the media coverage about Trump is not fair nor has it been fair for nearly 2 years. You cannot expect the media to cover events and portray them in any way equal to what others whom the media favors receive. The major media outlets HATE Trump and will ALWAYS show him in the worst light possible. Even to the point of distorting the truth.

Now, I'm not saying that the 'other side' is all truth and light either. Fox News and the other conservative outlets distort the truth just as much as CNN and MSNBC. The difference is that I take media reports about Trump with a shaker of salt and investigate on my own before I draw a conclusion. I don't swallow the bait just because I like the opinions of the guy dangling it in my face. Or worse, slug it down because he says that something bad will happen to me if I don't.

Fifth, I'm not saying that if someone didn't serve they wouldn't understand. What I'm saying is that UNLESS you served, you don't get the right to criticize someone who did. That includes being the Commander in Chief. Until YOU stand in those shoes, all you have is hot air being expelled. If that's the case, expect a warm wind to follow.

The difference between discussing tactics and criticizing the PERSON isn't that hard for the average person to understand. Unless you don't want to make the distinction.

Sixth, if you're referring to reproductive health and abortion issues, why can't I opine on those subjects? I'm a representative of 50% of the population of the planet, don't I get a voice? Don't you believe in democracy? Or is your version of democracy based on the 'no-one else counts except me' brand? Or perhaps you ascribe to the same the model my father used. The MY OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT I WILL BEAT YOUR ASS! version of democracy? That one seems to be in favor lately.

In closing, I will say this; peace my friend. In time all things change. Some changes will be good and some bad. It is our choice to embrace those which are good and deal with those which are bad until such time as we can change the world to suit ourselves. But beware, there are others who believe the exact opposite and will change it back to suit their beliefs. Just as we did. And, will do again.

For people not familiar with the story, the "conservative" in question is Milo Yiannopolous.

In July last year, Milo got himself banned from Twitter for an ongoing campaign of abuse against actress Leslie Jones. Among other things, he propagated fake screenshots purporting to show her using anti-Semitic and homophobic slurs, resulting in a flood of harassment directed her way. If you're familiar with Twitter's abuse problem you'll know it takes a LOT to get banned, but Milo managed to cross that line.

In December, Milo spoke at U. Milwaukee at the invitation of another conservative student group. He used that opportunity to
'out' and vilify a transgender student there.

In January, Milo made a speaking appearance at U. Washington, and one of his supporters shot a protester.

So, no, the riot at Berkeley wasn't merely because somebody invited "a conservative"; it was because this particular speaker has a track record of harassing and endangering people. Universities have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for their students, and inviting somebody like Milo is not compatible with that responsibility.

It's gotten to the point that even Dem strategists are saying that these people have no idea what they're protesting about. That the protests aren't meaningful.

Which "Dem strategists"?

How could anybody know such a thing? Are you saying that somebody IDed each and every person involved in the riots and checked them against the staff and student rolls?

If you're going to BS someone, you shouldn't start with yourself.

No, they're whining that he was elected and they don't like it.

Because of what he MIGHT do.

Scenario: you are a passenger in a plane. Due to a wildly improbably series of events, it turns out that the guy flying the plane isn't a qualified pilot. He's never flown any kind of plane before. He's taking advice from his co-pilot, a guy who's previously said that his life's ambition is to crash a plane.

Do you wait until he has actually crashed the plane, with you and your friends in it? Or do you perhaps start worrying about what he might do, and trying to prevent it?

Yes Far, I DO have an issue with anyone dissing our military. They stand up so we have the freedom to post crap here. Especially crap that others don't agree with. Yet we can still do it.

*eyeroll*

People join the military for all kinds of reasons. Some do join up to defend democracy. Some because it's a living. Some because it's their only chance for a college education. Some because they like adventure. Some because it's what Pa and Grandpa did. Some because they're white supremacists who decided they might as well get their training care of the taxpayer, before they progress to a career of blowing up government buildings and murdering brown people.

This conceit that everybody who joins the military is a self-sacrificing saint is a fairytale. Some are, some aren't. In a democracy it's unhealthy to elevate any institution above criticism.

(OTOH, if you look at dictatorships around the world, you'll find that pretty much without exception they fetishise their military. Massive parades of tanks and missiles in Red Square or Pyongyang, etc. etc.)

You can't change a haters mindset with facts.

HA HA HA HA HA!!!

I'm sorry, that is just so FUNNY. All of it, soup to nuts.

You clearly have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Instead you bullshit your way through sentences by making inferences totally unrelated to FACTS.

Let's take, for instance, your claim that the university shouldn't have allowed Milo to even have a speaking engagement because he has a 'history of harassing and endangering people" therefore he should be censored by the government.

Where the hell did you get the idea that ONLY ACCEPTABLE SPEECH is free speech? ANY other position is bullshit. I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it. And then step up on the soapbox after you're done to denounce what you just said. THAT is free speech. Not your fascism masquerading as freedom. Your version comes down to you don't like what someone MIGHT say so you'll kill them and burn their house down BEFORE they can say anything. Justifiable because someone else felt that way too.

I'm not going to defend my male nurse comments here. It's my opinion based on personally observed facts and life experiences. Your opinion was to quote general employment stats that, in my observations, don't correlate to real life. We don't agree on the point yet now you try to drag that prior debate into this one as if it's some sort of magic talisman to the current discussion. Then, as now, you're only defense of your position is to deflect to the irrelevant and start a campaign of hate and bias and belittlement against anyone who disagrees with you. Total bullshit.

OF COURSE no one can know if 'everyone' was either faculty or a student. How absurd of you to even suggest that someone took a poll or something equally as stupid during a riot. OTOH, if multiple sources suggest that such is the case and there is no evidence to the contrary, except from people like YOU spouting bullshit on an internet forum without ANY evidence or facts or anything at all, what do you expect the average person to believe? YOU or the reports from multiple news sources? Claiming that you're right on this basis is absurdity at best. Imbecilic thinking at it's finest.

Our military is comprised of the finest men and women anywhere in the world. They put their lives on the line for people like you and me. Demeaning them in any way shows what kind of person you really are. Saying that ANY of them serve our country BECAUSE they are White Supremacists is ridiculous and totally defeats ANYTHING you have said or ever will say. Because you will say anything, do anything, and hurt anyone in your quest for insanity.

Go ahead and put me on ignore. Pout all you want. It doesn't change the fact that you've revealed your true self to everyone. And what we see isn't pretty. Racism, bigotry, hate, violence, suppression, and ignorance all rolled up in one unexciting package.

Scam call for a charity to benefit families of fallen police officers. I only answered because it was a local number and I thought it might be my husband calling from a work number. Instead it was a guy trying to talk me into donating money to a charity. He kept forcfully repeating, "Ma'am, can we count on your $15.00?" And "Ma'am, can you %100 commit to x dollars?" After I asked for more information like a website I could visit or something to help me verify the organization. After he asked a third time I said, "at the moment no," he sounded annoyed and hung up with, "maybe we can count on your donation on the next drive."

No, you can never count on my donation.
